The Hollywood Reporter just posted this article on Bob Chapek and Bob Iger this morning. It's a very interesting read to put it lightly.

Eighteen months into media’s most consequential transition, Disney’s respected ex-CEO lingers while successor Bob Chapek provokes anxiety as he moves aggressively to reshape the Magic Kingdom.

So Chapek's big contributions to Marvel are making a playlist for GOTG:MB and giving the Marvel Studios a dole whip machine.

Jesus Christ.

This illustration of Chapek needs to become a required reaction image. I'm already finding great use of this.

I actually made it a few months ago but then I took a break from posting here for a while. I knew it was too good to keep to myself though. Give it life!

Chapek reminds me of the goon security guards in Rock-A-Doodle.

Great game last night, just too bad the Dodgers won. Cardinals were 0-11 with runners in scoring position, which makes winning a ballgame much more difficult.

Dodgers Giants NLDS should be a thrill, though.

The better team won. But yes great game and the NLDS should be great. So are you rooting for the Dodgers now?

 

[Mac Tonight]

Dodgers win. Yawn.

Who didn't see that one coming?

Here's the new update to DLP's Snow White ride:


The original for reference:


It's definitely an improvement, albeit a very mild one. The Queen no longer awkwardly tilts her head as she stands outside the cottage, a few scenes have new projected effects, and the addition of colored lighting definitely makes the scary forest seem more uncanny and surreal if nothing else. However, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't bother to fix most of ride's actual shortcomings, namely the vultures with broken necks, the dungeon scene largely being devoid of sound effects, and the hideous static figures in the ending vignette.

Minor spoiler but The Muppets Haunted Mansion left out the corpse from the Stretching Room.

Not a good sign for the future of the ride, that's for sure.

Oh, well, there’ll still be Europa Park’s take, where they physically (startlingly, loudly, hilariously) drop a hanging corpse within inches of the heads of the guests in the room.

Just an FYI to whoever is curious, we had no reservation to Ogas for this super busy Sunday. We walked up to the cantina about 20 min ago and were able to join the standby queue and are walking in now

The walk-up lists at the resort on the whole have been very accessible, which has been wonderful. Outside of like limited capacity places like Blue Bayou and Carnation Cafe, it's been really easy to get tables at Lamplight, Cafe Orleans, and Oga's.

How does one go about getting Blue Bayou reservations anyway? Try at midnight 60 days before? I haven’t been there in about 7 years. I’m due.
