I have discovered during the recent lead up to Beauty and the Beast that Disney Princess fans are the least accepting of change of any fandom I have seen. Every moment of every original seems to be deemed a masterpiece that cannot be changed.

I swear, you bring up that “oh if we just took away the pads and helmets everything would be SO MUCH SAFER” because you know it makes me rage, don’t you?

I think this is similar to the hat rule, in that you could somewhat hide your appearance by wearing a drastically different style of glasses and it just makes it harder for the person to verify identity.

I didn’t think VW had anyone working in Nebraska...

Wait, io9 does two posts by two separate authors stating that people were justified in freaking out the possibility of a white lead based on a blog that no one’s ever read before?

Yeah, gonna take this with a ridiculous amount of salt until something more concrete comes about.

the description of the script that this person read starts out curious and ends up ludicrous - the story it describes is not the story of mulan. i’m caught somewhere between i cannot believe that two women would ever write such a farcical thing and that disney would ever create a live action version of a property…

Do people want a Sherlock 3? I enjoyed the first one but literally fell asleep during the second one

You keep mentioning the endowment like it is a budget surplus. That isn’t the case. You can’t really just dip into an endowment to spend whatever you want. The point of an endowment that size is to operate on whatever the growth occurs and maintain its size so you can continue to operating on the…
