The Spirited Back Nine ...

Slip and fall Tuesday. Two filings.

One, a lady fell while transferring from a wheelchair to a ride vehicle on HM. They didn't stop the walkway for her.

Another lady slipped and fell on clear liquid detergent while exiting the casting area of cirque.

Somewhat related, the estate of the rope course victim from last week filed suit.

Just wanted to make sure no one crossed the line - right now they're walking beside it.

I always know where the line is.... Considering I travel beyond it so many times, I've gotten frequent flier miles for it

I saw it. It's exactly what I expect from a Seth Rogen/James Franco movie. I mean, it's not like these guys haven't made movies together before. You know what you're getting from these two. They are like the Cheech and Chong of the 21st century.

But Cheech and Chong were funny. They're funny too, but it was just really dumb that you just get uncomfortable unless you at least chuckle. Which I did. Let's put it this way. Bad Grandpa made me laugh (on a scale from one to ten) a ten. This movie made me laugh a 5 or 6. The one line that I thought was the funniest in the entire movie was when they went to China and they got off the plane and greeted everyone "konnichiwa!". Lol

 

[Progress.City]

To me, now, I thought The Interview was going to be a send up of the CIA's actual plans to assassinate Castro. If you want a good chuckle sometime, look that up. Some of the plots are more akin to Looney Toons than America's premier intelligence organization.

Yeah... That would make a great comedy!!

 

[Progress.City]

It's not unprecedented.

Also, no country made a movie about killing a leader. A studio did. Whatever you or I or anyone else may think of that decision, they were well within their rights to do so.

I just wish the movie had been funnier.

And that studio is Japanese (Sony). My grandmother thought the movie made fun of Americans as bad as it did the North Koreans. There was one Japanese-centric joke I picked up on that was hilarious. I already mentioned it in my last post... When they went to China, the Americans, after getting off the plane, greet there Chinese hosts: "konnichiwa!", all proud like they know the language! Lol

I think that's giving Rogen way too much credit. I watched it the other night and kept pausing it or switching windows to browse the net. It took me couple hours to actually get through the whole thing.

The Interview is as boring as it is crude. It's a shame there has been so much ink spilled and money lost over such a nothing movie.
It's a real missed opportunity, too. Vice's 2011 "Guide to North Korea" is both weirder and funnier than the fictional comedy that Rogen made.

Thanks for the link but that wasn't the report I was talking about. The one I was talking about aired this year (2014) and they had the Globe Trotters play a North Korean basketball team in the condition that the Supreme Leader would get to meet Dennis Rodman. Kim Jung-un sat next to Dennis Rodman during the game and then took the entire American entourage out to his place to get drunk! It was surreal!

Here it is! You MUST watch this... This is what I thought the movie would be loosely based on...

So that's why he had a basketball court in the movie.

ETA: that was a very interesting documentary, thanks for posting.

I'm sorry, somebody posted a photo of the breadline in Moscow is worthy of comment.

Discussing foreign government send their leaders is not inherently political.

And their ability to communicate with dolphins is also not political.

And their ability to communicate with dolphino is also not political.

If whether they are or are not a lizard.

You walk the line so well many mistake you for a Walenda.

Looks like I will just avoid going to Puerto Rico then

If you go, look up our old friend MKT.

Well is reporting that RC Racer is the only cloned attraction coming to DHS, woody's round up is coming which is the retimed maters, and then the new luigis attraction will come to DHS with a Buzz theme. They expect an announcement at D23 expo.

Cool. Finally an LPS ride for WDW Not the kind we all want and are begging for, but it's a start. If this is actually true.

Oh yes, what a hilarious set up. Let's make a comedy about assassinating another countries leader. If another country had concocted a movie about killing Obama, there would have been howls of indignation!

well, there was one about murdering bush...

To me, now, I thought The Interview was going to be a send up of the CIA's actual plans to assassinate Castro. If you want a good chuckle sometime, look that up. Some of the plots are more akin to Looney Toons than America's premier intelligence organization.

like the exploding cigar and the poisonous shaving foam?

Maybe if our president was a walking cartoon character like Un it would be. Some of the myths in the movie about un, like his ability to talk to dolphins, is actually something he has the people of N korea believe.

pretty sure that skill is already taken by shirtless putin

Please remember the No Politics rule. Thank you.

whoops, sorry mom

 

[Cesar R M]

That's just miserable.

Multiple rides with 3 to 4 hour waits. It's borderline criminal to charge people to put up with that. You would have to pay me to spend 12 hours in a park and only do 3 rides. 60 minute wait for Pirates? Imagine if they had FP+ there

pretty sure it would be 6+ hours with FP.

hang on, what rope victim?

but the studios are US managed, arent they?

 

[Bairstow]

Yes, completely.

hang on, what rope victim?

Man fell to his death on the ropes course in Artegon Marketplace (the repurposed as a flea market Festival Bay Mall on I-Drive). Read elsewhere it seems like a clear-cut negligence case, basic safety measures were not followed.

The real question is if the p.r. hastens Artegon's demise--I already didn't see it lasting past Spring Break.
