A Terror-rific Spirited 13th (ToT fans have lots to fear)...

Well, today's purchase of my plane ticket made it official. I'm going back to Disneyland this summer

Except Odin and Co (including the Asgardian City and planet) isnt on earth.
Thor doesn't have a "base of operations" on Earth. You can bet he lounges in the Avengers's Tower (Stark's)

I honestly believe they should have gone for the "After the destruction of his collector base in Knowhere, The Collector decided to built on Earth and disguised his new base as a broken hotel". Which kinda fits considering that The Collector is manipulative (multiple times have lied to get his hands on Rocket Raccoon and Groot as part of his collection).
But the new designs make kinda zero sense in that aspect.

What are you talking about?

Definitely. One thing I thought of today while getting the ticket got me excited too. Instead of depending on inflight movies I'll have my Nintendo Switch to play on the plane!!! Hope it works with those portable chargers.

From OU, another piece of the "Donkey Kong" permit.

When the rumors first came out I knew they had to find a way to have you jump between tracks. I can't imagine what else they would've drawn this up for.

Follow up of how this would work in video form.

What is obscuring that gigantic castle at SDL? Hint: It's not fog.

Must have burned off by the end of the day. Disneytown was quite visible by evening. It was foggy for the next couple days, but cleared up a bit after a full day of rain.

I do understand better how they ended up choosing the color for the castle.

I feel like he used to be more critical of Disney. Now he is praising their dumbest decision yet...

I have no beef with Robert, but he praised F&F at USH. So the 'optimism' is not necessarily limited to Disney.

 

[GoofGoof]

I get the feeling that you guys are spending a lot more time than Disney ever did trying to figure out how this GoTG monstrosity can work. If the people in charge spent as much time as we do thinking about things like this they also probably would have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't work at all. Instead they get their "synergy" and will probably attempt to sell some convoluted backstory which at best is a huge stretch but in reality just doesn't make sense.

oh gods! I forgot that teaser!

I love how he keeps poking at his "secretary" while he's writing the letter to Tony.

I feel that his Op Eds come off as PR spin. That and he's calling Opinion pieces "reporting".

Congrats, Mike.
You did the right thing!


Perhaps I will bump into you at the Expo.
I am planning on being there this year as well.

In the middle of watching this now. Great work as usual @marni1971

I just had to jump in here mid-viewing to point out how Michael Eisner himself uses the term "E Ticket" here. So much for it being a useless phrase once they stopped using ticket books like some people here claim

The bit from Carol Serling is also a bit sad now since they've removed TZ from the DCA version.

 

[andre85]

Didn't they have to change a part of the ride because they couldn't get the screens before the drop? I feel like I remember reading somewhere that they now have to address why you're looking out at a theme park.

Wait, I'm a bit confused by this. What do you mean they couldn't get the screens before the drop? Why wouldn't they just go with the first two show floors are now?

Or do you mean they were adding additional screens where the doors open? Are those still going to open to the outside now? (were they before?)

They were adding them, not they're not.

The Horton doors will open and it'll be welcome to DCA.

Yikes. That...doesn't seem to make any sense. Which is fitting, given the project

The more they screw this up, the better. I hope the reactions are so overwhelmingly negative that they learn their lesson and leave DHS's ToT alone.

Haven't some reports been saying that Star Lord makes some stupid quip about being able to see Disneyland from here?

Ah, they're going to lampshade it. At least it'll be addressed on some level (get it?!)

Whole project's dumb tho

Bringing art and culture to a city, at no cost to the city, is about as no-brainer as you can get. If someone wants to spend one-and-a-half billion dollars of their own money to educate people about art, you damn well better have a good reason for saying no. The Businessweek piece linked above attempts to lay out the cons of the museum, but not a single argument against it is even remotely convincing.

And if you don’t want to feel bad for a mega-billionaire like George Lucas, at least feel bad for yourself. Feel bad that you can’t be enlightened about new forms of art and culture. And feel bad for all the amazing artists whose work remains obscured because of stupid, awful people who stand in the way.

What shortsighted snobbery.

So much of the proposed art/culture is the modern equivalent of the once considered frivolous art these reactionary opponents do embrace as legitimate art forms by now, such as operette, jazz, cinema.
Bah, few groups are more reactionary, petty, and narrow-minded as precisely those who claim to be their opposite, the liberal cultural elite.

Maybe Lucas can negotiate with London, Amsterdam or Berlin....

As @Tahu could tell you, parking lots for Bears fans to tailgate and get hammered are more important too.

You know what would be a great place for Lucas' museum? WDW. Say, along the shore of Lake Buena Vista.

Although WDW is not in that business anymore, or perhaps more accurately, never developed into the direction where a popular storytelling museum would make sense and find an audience. The very thought seems preposterous nowadays. Somewhere along the way WDW decided it would cater to the 'tailgaters looking to get hammered' crowd.
