I know they're working on another offering with a third party vendor a la Galactic Starcruiser, but I hadn't thought about it being taken outside WDW property...interesting thought. Did you read this somewhere?

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I didn't say I didn't know anyone who has seen it. I said it's either that or they don't remember it very well. I fall into the second half.You must know someone who has seen it... unless they live under a rock somewhere. Seriously though, the *reissue* of it this year took in $30 million on a weekend - better than most new films. And, ironically, one of the biggest complaints thrown at the film is probably one of the reasons for its success - that it's a trope (white man saves savages). It doesn't require lengthy translations or understanding - everyone, everywhere could pretty much get the story right away. <The 3D of course was the major sell - and will be again this time judging from showtimes. The 3D showtimes vastly outnumber the 2D ones, reversing the trend>
Evil space colonizers? Are we now talking about Star Wars?
Anyhoo... was Chapek sacked for Avatar 2 or for The Santa Clauses?

They thought they could do that with DisneyQuest.
Or will 'exclusivity' make it profitable?
True. But I was thinking more about a potential multi-day type of experience that encompassed more than a virtual type theme park.
With things like this there is as much that is reliant on timing and execution as there is on concept.

With Iger back, I think Disney should hold theatrical screenings for Soul, Luca, and Turning Red worldwide, as an apology to Pixar fans.

It’s kind of funny how people say Disney needs to abandon brick & mortar retail while they operate their own successful lifestyle center.
A big part of the reason that the Apple Store at Disney Springs didn’t happen is because Apple typically get below market rent since they attract so many people into malls. That’s what The Disney Store should be, not just a place to dump the same generic merchandise but unique locations that people just want to visit. They should drive people to their select locations, not be dependent on their foot traffic.

In that we agree. I think it has to be a bit more than just a store though. It needs to be almost a destination.
What that means and what that would encompass - I have no idea.

I haven't seen Titanic and can't comment on its quality. But isn't there supposed to be some class based commentary involved? I believe there's a handful of nasty wealthy people. I recall seeing a clip where some snob attempts to prevent poorer people from boarding a lifeboat with them. Someone who has actually seen the movie can better clarify though.

The best part of Titanic is the 2nd half anyway.

You’re missing out. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s fantastically gripping.

I don't like taking a major tragedy and turning it into a Leonardo DiCaprio love story. Not to mention that DiCaprio and Winslet can't act their way out of a wet paper bag. I don't find it compelling at all.

Bob grew the beard because he felt the cold winter was coming, yet sadly he knew it wouldn’t be enough.
He further prepared by phoning Chuck Norris, hoping he’d divulge secrets around wielding a beard full of competence. Chuck had a price and it was called ‘Come look what’s inside my beard.’ BIP! Somewhere between the small chin and dazzling beard came a fist of fury at such speed that Bob C bopped back to the Hollywood Hills, but not before ricocheting off a Welcome to Texas sign. Sure enough, less than 2 days later he was met by MiB to escort him out of an Elton John show because beard or no beard, this dude had to go.

The tragedy part is the most compelling, and dealt with very well to my mind.
