Yep. The nickel-and-diming was the reason my fiancee and I decided not to go back to DW after our first trip. Of course going there is expensive, but the entire point is that it’s just a little bit of escapism. I don’t want to be constantly forking over cash for little things when I can just get it out of the way…

Iger came out immediately and forcefully against Desantis “Don’t say Gay” bill... It strikes me that, at the least, this is a shot across the bow of Desantis and might indicate Disney is getting ready to do battle with a possible Rep Nominee...

I assume Iger is even more brand-conscious than Chapek was and therefore extremely unlikely to do this, but it would be fantastic if Iger did decide to fuck with DeShithead as payback for fucking with Disney just to swing his dick around and show who’s boss in Florida, especially as DS starts his low-key run for…

The guy might have guided them through a pandemic, but as soon as they started to emerge, he decided nickel and diming people to death at the parks was the way to go. How smart can a business guy be if he doesn’t know that having people constantly run up against $15 here and $25 there is eventually going to piss them…

They may be printing money but people are very unhappy with the experience they’re receiving. It’s hurting the brand overall. I am totally uninterested in the parks, but even I’ve heard how bad the lines are and the experience at the parks right now. So while they may be making more money because they bumped ticket…

He really just hated animation overall, which is where we’re seeing a lot of the real trailblazing with regards to diverse content nowadays. I don’t know if this was intentional and related to the diversity of the content or if it was just because he hates animation. But he was about to start firing people in those…

If you follow this stuff, this is a really shocking turn of events. Not just that Chapek is out (when Disney really isn’t doing that bad considering what’s going on in the economy. They are purposely dumping a ton of money into their streaming service to increase their subscription count - so those loses are expected.…

You put the money grubbing park manager in charge of the creatives who he cannot understand, respect or value. Anyone can be replaced, we can always charge more, and they’ll keep showing up is not a great philosophy for that company. 

full 20-episode s4 for The Owl House, pls.

Given your username, I can’t even imagine how badly the Tom Swift show must’ve burned.

I’ve loved and followed The Legion of Super-Heroes since I was a boy some 60 years ago. I literally have almost every one of the thousands of comic books (in digital form) they have ever appeared in and am currently wearing a Brainiac 5 t-shirt.

Look, I’m forward-thinking - I accept that people like her didn’t choose to celebrate christmas, and that they were just born that way. What I don’t understand is why they just have to be so flamboyant about it. Like, can’t you do your christmas stuff behind closed doors, and not throw it in all of our faces? I’m…

It’s end-stage capitalism and it’s working as designed, to make as much profit off of people as possible.

I feel like we have reached a critical mass of conglomeration, and they’re now so intertwined that even if you don’t eat out because a cheeseburger is suddenly $16.50, you’re still giving money to the same corporation when you choose to just buy some ground beef, buns and frozen fries and make it at home. And it’s…

The fans who stuck it out and stayed in the waiting room all day (seriously, like 8-10 hours) were rewarded with tickets that were advertised at a price of $49 to $449, but actually ended up costing much, much more.

Have you seen Amazon, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Intel, etc, pretty much every major corporation that is so big they have pushed out every small business out and nothing is done despite existing anti-monopoly laws.

Really weird that we just let monopolies like ticketmaster exist with impunity.

According to a new report from Giant Freakin Robot, Kurt Russell will return for a third Snake Plissken movie from Scream directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella.

Ticketmaster is trash.

We eat out far less than we used to, one a month instead of once a week, and breakfast instead of dinner, but that is a function of across the board inflation. We don’t mind paying for the experience, but please do not test the breaking point, because there is one, and we are close to it. If restaurants go away, they…
