No lie. You do like to throw that word around. Yes, my post is there for all to see and everyone, you included, are entitled to interpret what you want. BC's presentation could have been done in one sentence, been nonabrasive and moved on. That is not how it was presented, not what happened, and a lot of unnecessary turbulence has occurred. What happened / happened, no changing history just now adapt to the present and the future that is being crafted as we speak.
You’re complaining about it being two sentences too long? Which parts are overly abrasive? And no, what happened does not have to be accepted by anyone as the final word on what happened. What has happened absolutely can be changed otherwise a whole bunch of laws now considered unjust would still be enforced.
The statement was from the Disney Company, not Chapek personally. None of us know how directly he shaped the wording.
I think it was the flip flop BC did that was a problem. BC mistakenly initially wanted to focus on the business instead of more important work of inclusion. Then he corrected himself and made it clear that the company was going to use its power to change the law.
I fail to understand how this applies to my post in any way. Even if Chapek completely botched the delivery of his statements how is that an attack against the state? I assume you just wanted to post this meme and picked my post which is fine. I wasn’t talking about whether Chapek was smart or elegant or charismatic as a speaker and I never suggested he did a good job getting his point across. I specifically said I thought the delivery was botched from the start. That still doesn’t make what he said an attack against the state.
I go with the simpler explanation that they were just average films, but it’s too soon to know either way.
I have never seen such an average Disney film do so poorly. Like Mars Needs Moms poorly with Strange World. Them being meh films did not help.
It was teased and marketed early on. After political concerns and the character traits and content within the movie came.to.limeligjt it suddenly ceased completely.
So Puss' n' Boots magically changed the holiday game when it cameout a few weeks later? Again, direct evidence to the contrary. Your post is not true.
Yeah. Out of all of the special districts in FL currently where the Governor appoints the board and they also have taxing authority all that I checked have clauses which require the board to be selected from land owners of the district. In those cases landowners can apply to be board members and then the best qualified is appointed. Probably done to avoid the costs and time needed to run elections. If the Governor‘s talking points become the “actual plan” it will be the first time a special district with taxing authority also has Government appointed board members from outside the district.
Strange worlds was abnormally bad… like no one knew what this even was. Calling it out in this example is not apologist. It legitimately was abnormal
Because the movie tested poorly. (I also thought it was bad, but that’s beside the point)
Yeah, this is my take on it too. They were not great movies and they didn’t market them very heavily. Lightyear did get some more marketing but not a full court press. So if someone wants to make the argument that the reason they tested poorly and ultimately received little marketing help was because of a political boycott then maybe that’s more plausible but impossible to quantify too.
I know it’s easy to make everything politics these days, but it’s not like Disney’s never been boycotted in the past by some fringe group upset at them.
