I’m a Disney fanboy so I already own my favorite Disney animated movies (and the rare live action film, e.g., The Black Hole). The only benefit to having them available on Netflix and Hulu was that I didn’t have to get the disc out of the box.

That’s what I was thinking. Instead of talking about 2600 games, what about upright console games like Tron? Or the original Star Wars arcade game? Or Pac-man or Centipede?

I appreciate the recommendation anyway. James Mason is another terrific actor and “ffolkes” is a film I have not seen. I will have to correct that, I think.

He was always my favorite Bond, which probably puts me in the minority

Someone at Disney saw the trailer then?

Today I learned they still have Saturday morning cartoons in England.

My mall was Cinderella City in Englewood, Colorado.

Then the green pool(s). Then the mugging that turned out not but instead something as bad (or worse). Everyday the US medal…

Star Wars is just generic Sci-fi universe #1138.

I’d rather live in one of those communities than have asthma. And I have asthma.

[Disney] will take the current The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror elevator ride and revamp it to be a “warehouse fortress power plant,”

What’s interesting (to me) is that most of these points could have been (and probably were) used as selling points for the World Wide Web and first graphical internet browsers (NCSA Mosaic and later Netscape) back in the early/mid-1990s. Museums definitely were some of the first web sites, and certainly WWW had an…

It’s about a man who ends up in a parallel dimension and has to convince his soul mate that they’re in love.

Denver Public Library, architects Burnham Hoyt (1955) and Michael Graves (1995).

I think Disneyland’s PeopleMover ran on similar technology in the 70s.

Lots of commenters have mentioned the jerky movement of the people.
