Several pages of hamburger discussion and no mention of Fuddruckers?
I love the Fudd's, although the one in LBV's Crossroads is not run very well at all ... but they always give me my 10% cast discount (no, I am NOT a CM for the 876,532nd time).

Fudd's, when great, is great. But, it seems to me that it's hit or miss in terms of quality.
True in many cases, but not all.
Many of the top chains, from quick serve burgers to high end steakhouses, have gotten to the top by offering a quality product.
When you look at places like Red Robin who have gotten to the top by marketing, hype, and convenience that changes a bit. Their burgers are surely under the Five Guys level. I blame it more on consumers who do not understand what quality food offerings nowadays.

That's 876,533...I remember one other time that you pointed that out. Glad I could help.

Hunchback just might be my favorite Disney animated film (at least "modern age"). And that soundtrack is my favorite. Such great music, IMO.
I think part of the problem is there is going to be a tipping point of how much money an animated film did. Disney was used to making more and more since the Little Mermaid, so after the Lion King, which amassed a huge amount of money, since Pocahontas didn't make more, it was seen as the beginning of the end for the end. Disney kept trying different types of stories (Hunchback, Atlantis, etc.) but since they never equaled the BO of Lion King, they weren't regarded with the fervor as the previous ones.
In a way, it seems like Pixar with post Finding Nemo (until Toy Story 3). It seemed once ever film didn't make as much as Finding Nemo, critics were questioning "is Pixar slipping?"
Very interesting reading. Thanks.

Although 5 Guys cannot be considered "sit down" fare...they are not Fast Foods in the truest sense. Everything is cooked after you order it. I don't think any of it is Frozen (could be, but it doesn't seem like it could be) You pointed out that you had to wait, and most people do. Not long sometimes but still not sitting under a heat lamp or in those nasty looking little plastic drawers used by McD's to store burgers in until you order one. Then it's nuke time and you go happily on your way.
That may be great, but I am not reading something that long ... any key points?

I liked the Half in the Bag review.
You really are Eisner!
[it's right in the IMDB trivia that it was his favourite! ; )]

Because his schtick would get real old, real fast. He pretty much played the Genie again with Batty in Ferngully, also released in 1992.
He did Aladdins 1 and 3, that's enough.
Simple answer: Disney isn't the easiest media company for talent to work for. Robin Williams had a particularly nasty breakup with the company that only ended a few years ago.
Lee is like an Amway salesman or timeshare salesman or used car salesman or any type of sleezy salesman you can think of ... he was very good at breaking what worked at WDW for its first two decades and remaking it in his image and the MBAs and consultants that came with him. That WDW is the one which still exists to today ...
Interesting. Do tell ...
I'm guessing one kind goes to the Captain's Grille (or whatever the YC Galley is now called) and the other to Yachtsman Steakhouse.

exactly. Robin WIlliams had a fall out, not once but twice. Now the feud is over as Robin became a Disney Legand.
Don't know enough about RR to comment much. They came to many markets in FL in the 90s and didn't last long. I recall having a bad experience at one, but not what I ate. ... Didn't go back to one for a decade plus ... that one was in Garden Grove, right down Harbor Blvd from DLR. Food was much better, but in that 'good TGI Friday's kind of way' ... I have been back 2-3 times and I'm sure I've had salads or burgers every time.
Oh, and they returned to SoFla last year, but I have no desire to try one.
Good points all ... the funny thing is there were some very good films that did good BO $$$ like Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan to close out the 90s, but they tend to get lumped in with the cheapquels and troubled films that didn't do well.
I don't believe Disney put out a bad animated film in the 90s, but they were oversupplying the market, late to CGI (let's not talk about Dinosaur) and then started pennypinching and having MBAs working on scripts. It was a recipe cooked to disaster and that it what happened.
True, but they are considered fast food or quick serve in the industry. Next step up is the bakery places like Panera and the casuals like Red Lobster, Chilli's, Red Robin and so many others ...

I completely agree with this. I aw Red Robin commercials for years so I had high expectations when I finally got a chance to try one out. I was un-impressed to say the least. It wasn't horrible food but it didn't live up to the hype.
