dare I say we heard this from Spirit first? I remember a post he made about Disney always trying to hit home runs instead of bunch of doubles. Something like that, I'll let him quote himself.

So is 74s fan club going to post tonight?
Here you go. Here's a soundtrack to watch it to as you watch it unfold...
Best to just ignore it though (not that I always follow that advice, it is SO easy to get sucked in!)...

And as a big baseball guy I can tell you that if you only go for home runs, you usually strike out a lot

Yeah, but I doubt Disney thinks every project is a blockbuster. The issue they have is that they THINK something is a blockbuster (ahem...John Carter, a rather decent film with a boring title and terrible marketing) when it's not. THAT is a sign of poor studio management.
Every studio puts out lower budget fluff films, and should, to supplement income.
If you think that's bad... what about Mrs. Doubtfire? His own wife doesn't recognize the guy she's been living with and waking up next to for years... yet everyone in the audience is thinking, "Dude looks just like Robin Williams in a dress!"

Well, Under the right circumstances a producer can make more money from a flop than he could with a hit.

No, Iger's strategy is pretty much only blockbusters, aka tent poles. Disney has been systematically removing the fluff films from their release schedule.
It was a typical MAGICal summer night with all the typical hijinks one Spirit might expect.
I don't think you're a fool for using your credits at Narcoosee's. I have had nothing but great experiences there. Last time there I got the turf and skipped the surf, but a family member had it and loved it.

Except for Saving Mr. Banks which I assume is more of an image control measure.
Great place. Had another amazing meal there recently. ... But Jiko doesn't have surf and turf. But I had some great beef there and lots of other stuff including a tart with Goat's Milk Balsamic Ice Cream for dessert (strange, but terrific).

Does Narcoosee's still serve alligator pate? I haven't eaten there since the early 90's (and became a vegetarian around 2005 so am unlikely to eat that again anytime soon), but I remember having that. Was just curious. Remember Narcoosee's being a nice place to eat, i'm glad to hear from you that it's still good nowadays.

A major shift in Disney's studio has been to load up on the tentpole at the sacrafice of everything else. They've gone to 'a few big movies' a year and reduced their studio output. This is the 'feast or famine' model. It's in stark contrast to the Eisner/Katz model of 'doubles and singles' of the 80s/90s
