Hemsworth comes the closest though. Rush, heart of the sea, and Blackhat are all roles for a movie star but they weren’t big hits.  

Ooh, the “Don’t Say Gay” bill response was pretty bad, good point.

The Board’s problems with Chapek wasn’t his policies.  It was his personality and management style, which caused him to lose the support of Disney employees, executives and stockholders.  His brief tenure has been one PR disaster after another, capped by surprising stockholders about the 4th quarter losses.  If Chapek…

Disney’s next CEO... Conan O’Brien!

Well, the Bob who left is the one who used to be in charge of the parks and in the past few years since he has been in charge has screwed up the park experience with perks removed and added costs making the experience worse. Not to mention, he was also slow to respond to the whole Dont Say Gay bill in Florida (unlike…

Chapek drew a lot of criticism for his handling of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. He also shut down what were considered complementary services at Walt Disney World, like the Magical Express and free MagicBands. I can’t say how much of this is valid, but people associate Chapek with rising prices and declining quality…

i just really don’t understand what they can do here. they’ve introduced so many new things in the past few years, and anything that changes to make it ‘better’ would just annoyingly introduce more, other things.

One of them did everything at Disney that you hated, and the other did everything that you liked.

Since affording Disney Land is a complete dream these days I’m unaware or not entirely sure of what the hell one of the rich CEO’s named Bob did wrong.

I get that this sort of change is a bit sudden, but I don’t know how or why people are taking sides in this.

Obviously with inflation it’s not so stark but the fact a billion in box office has gone from rare to the norm in, what, a decade or so is ridiculous.

box office always seems like a weird metric when comparing movies from different eras. fellowship sold 40 million more tickets than the hobbit, but the hobbit made $100 million more

Related, it’s insane how high nominal box office grosses have gotten in the last decade, to the point all 50 of the highest grossing films have now crossed the billion mark and the fourth highest ever nominal gross in 2008 is now the 49th.

I fail to see what your fucking point is.

I think the problem is that he hosts a show about American politics, but he doesn’t see himself as an American. He doesn’t use us/we pronouns on the show. It should have been Sam Bee, but Roy Wood or Jordan Kepler I think could both handle it.

Roy Wood, Jr. is a legitimate talent with a singular voice and I hope to God he does something else with his time.

He’s personable enough but I really question the quality of his writing staff. So many of his jokes are office watercooler-quality.

Tyne Daily.  What a laugh-fest that would be.

Wasn’t a big fan of his TDS tenure for a lot of reasons, but whenever his name comes up I always take the opportunity to recommend his book. It’s just outstanding on every level. Especially the audio version, which if nothing else, helps with the various accents and pronunciations. It’s funny and quite moving in…

Hire a replacement host with the last name “Daily”, problem solved! 

But... it’s called The Daily Show.  Bit of a tell there in the name.
