News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Yeah, I was mostly joking. In DisneyWar it was clear he got a raw deal, but I've also read The Men Who Would Be King (about the formation, rise and fall of DreamWorks), so I've seen what he can do on his own (plus there's the more contemporary example of Quibi). But I do think that if he were the Wells in the right pairing, that might work. But that's a big might.

Katzenberg had the rep of at least being able to delegate…something early Eisner was good at as well.

The problem at Disney is they really have no talent. Bob isn’t creative…he’s a studio guy…and there’s really nobody to trust to come up with material.

It’s how idiots like Kiri hart are allowed to derail lucrative franchises…because they aren’t qualified to handle them.

I miss the McRib. You never know what you lost until it’s gone.

well... Chapek is a lot like the McRib.

The McRib really isn't a rib just like Chapek was never really a CEO

One is tasty though...I will leave it up to you to determine which one...

You’d think so but given they haven’t been able to ”find“ a replacement for Iger for a decade, and the one guy they tried was a disaster, the answer may be no.

None have been acceptable to Iger. That doesn't mean there isn't a fully qualified replacement available somewhere.

Notice how that corresponds with his ego never wanting to leave either

The guy “retired” and never even moved out of his office.

A comp: Eisner turned in his keys, his office and his main gate a year early

One thing that should be demanded by who ever is picked to take over--Bob Iger needs to completely leave the premises. No honorary office, not even a small cubicle. All privileges gone. If it satisfies his ego, make a statute in his honor--say just outside one of the restrooms in one of the parks.

Just saw where Sheryl Sandberg is leaving META. At one point she was highly thought to be in the running to take over Disney, but her fortunes have changed drastically.

She's worth 2+ billion dollars. She's fine.

She sold off her Meta stock in 2022 - $1.8 billion. She's resilient especially after her first husband an accomplished exec of Survey Monkey died while falling off a treadmill in a hotel resort gym during a family vacation.

I was not talking about personal wealth, but that her status as an executive has been tarnished. Not going into rumors and innuendo.

Execs are very good at reinventing themselves and many critics have the attention span of less than a goldfish - 8 seconds.

Come on Bob 595---- let's hope you can hit 600 in 2024 and I'm not talking baseball.

She said some crazy @$$ bleep not too long ago…

Elon gets away with being a kook because he happens to be like the richest dude…ever…

Oh…Nelly is getting surly…

He better not stop by a park and get a Mickey bar…Bob left standing orders to have a few made with antifreeze subbed for the milk

That kind of diet is right up 93 years young Warren Buffett lifestyle alley of eating fast food and dairy queen on a regular basis. His take on that is he eats like a 6 year old kid which he says has the lowest death rates.

Buffett still has one of the best stories ever…he liked Dairy Queen so much he bought it

At least he doesn’t star in his own commercials the way Tom Carvel did…Cookie Puss, Fudgie the Whale…
