    Yeah, but that's the el-cheapo room on the Burj, intended for mere hundred-thousandaires who are barely above Plebians, really. It's actually more pricey than the Disney cruise for the cheaper cabins. The high-end room on the Burj Al Arab that might compare with the Disney highest-end cabin is...

    Eh, this is a nothingburger. Disney cruise packages start at a thousand or so and you can typically throw down a cruise for two people for 13-1500. The Tomorrow Tower isn't the typical cabin, it's a super-expensive luxury cabin meant to peel cash off of mega-millionaire whales. It's common...

    By Hollywood standards a whole four hundred dollars is extremely generous. According to David Prowse, the man who wore the Darth Vader suit for the original trilogy, he has never received a dime in royalties due to creative accounting.

    This. I know YouTube algorithms push creators to make their entries into approved lengths but I despise the tendency some have to pad out the video with cruft in order to hit those lengths.

    It matters but it can't happen all at once. An executive at her level can't just be told "You're fired, clean out your desk/grab your stuff." like a secretary or fast food worker. She'll have too much blackmail material, know too many critical company secrets, be able to do too much damage to...

    I thought this was interesting, Korean people being interviewed on their opinion as to why the Live Action Little Mermaid bombed when they have a history of loving Disney, even live-action remakes like Aladdin.

    They've certainly taken some hits but Disney's also in a bad place internally. Disney's very prone to faction fights over who gets to be in charge. Iger actually tried to circumvent the usual infighting by grooming Thomas Staggs to be his successor. Staggs had done a staggeringly good job...

    I'm really wondering exactly how much you imagine it takes to bribe a governor. Your ideas here fly dramatically in the face of all known records on how bribery works and what we know of the amounts involved. How much do you think it costs to bribe a governor? How much do you think it costs...

    If you read further in the thread as he answers questions, he lets slip that his information is actually just the excuses on a form letter Disney sent him as a stockholder to explain the loss. That makes their conclusion a touch... suspect. Disney's not going to publish a letter saying...

    From what I understand, the new Proud Family reboot is loaded with wokeness.

    The fact that people are talking fondly about it 30 years after it was made is pretty convincing to me that it was a good movie.

    Once a person gets that high up, in a corporation that large, getting rid of them isn't like firing a McDonald's worker for spoiling an order, it's like ousting El Presidente in a civil war. They have loyal minions/toadies and control in projects across dozens of departments and likely have...

    Shrug. When they passed the law making it illegal to deplatform Florida politicians, I read through it. There was a special exemption in there (starting at line 470 in the link) that made the law non-applicable to any company that owned a theme park, so the mouse was safe. If Disney got an...

    So it seems Disney has been refusing to pay Alan Dean Foster for the books he wrote, which they are currently still selling. The SFWA Grievance Committee isn't amused. I do rather like Foster's reply, "A contract is a contract." Disney's opener was to demand that Foster sign an NDA preventing...

    Are you saying the song was written by actual Native Americans?

    The big part is that the song implies that "White" is the default skin color and there needs to be a special explanation for why they aren't white (and the song does indeed imply this, stating that all the Red Men are actually white but blush constantly).

    ... And a historically accurate talking bat. Really I'm feeling rather jazzed at the idea that Bluth may come back. His movies were always far darker and creepier than Disney. Now that the animation age ghetto is somewhat broken and adult animation is a thing, he may have a better shot at...
