I don't think they were stereotypes, I think they were archetypes. It was a myth.
Either way they’re generic characters.

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?I think Galactic Starcruiser was meant to be a proof-of-concept for this sort of thing, wasn't it?
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>
They thought they could do that with DisneyQuest.Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about a Disney resort in every major city. Rather, think Gaylord. Maybe 6-8 large strategically placed properties catering to the beforementioned audience, and throw in some exclusive dining options, entertainment, and merchandising.

Or will 'exclusivity' make it profitable?
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.
The best part of Titanic is the 2nd half anyway.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.

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

I DONT UNDERSTAND.I haven't seen Titanic.
I DONT UNDERSTAND.
At least....
The tragedy part is the most compelling, and dealt with very well to my mind.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.
