You mean to tell me that Zoom CEO who said he thinks people will start using their AI avatars to attend Zoom meetings while they go to the beach doesn’t actually understand shit about his company, or any company? No way man, no way.

The trailers seem to show like 20 different scenes of facehuggers impregnating people, and like maybe 2 scenes of actual aliens.

Yeah the article mentions how the docs got all the surviving Beach Boys together, or unprecedented access to Henson’s family and inner circle, and then wonders why the resulting docs aren’t hit pieces that dig into all the dirty secrets.

I don’t even know who’s a “fan” of J.Lo these days. Like what demo is she playing to? 

I don’t think that shift happens quite the same anymore. You start to realize that your taxes either stay pretty much the same under Republicans as Democrats, or you start to realize that any short term tax savings you’ll get from a Republican president are offset by having your wages continually kept low, having…

The road action sequences in Furiosa were dazzling, on par with anything from Fury Road, but I think stretching the story out as a years long “saga” rather than setting it over a couple of days really changes the overall feel and pacing of the action.

I think part of the fun is that, at least from this review, it seems that even when Tommy Wiseau leans in to making an intentionally bad movie, he still can’t avoid the fact that he doesn’t actually know how to make a competent film.

This actually went much better for the man than I expected, and hoped. I was hoping he would actually get to experience what the apex predator of the ocean, that even great white sharks fear, is capable of.

I enjoyed Poor Things, but there’s something about Yorgos Lanthimos and animal violence in his films that makes me think...okay, maybe enough with the animal violence.

Pandora is another one where there’s one good ride and one blah. I rode the river ride once and don’t really need to do it again. But Flight of Passage is one of the best theme park experiences I’ve ever had.

The fact that it’s only two rides is crazy. And that Oga’s cantina, which is touted as such a cool experience, ended up being so small you can’t hope to get in without an advance reservation. I’ve never even noticed the entrance to it, much less gone inside. The feel of the land is cool, but other than the rides, it’s…

I balked at the four hour runtime too, but ended up just kind of playing it on my phone while I cleaned my house one day and it was pretty worth it.

I don’t think she went after the closure was announced. I forget exactly (it was a long video) but she mentions that she called to book a room so early that many amenities were not even offered to her and she wasn’t even aware of them until much later.

Seeing the image, I got excited that Slow Horses was coming back.

This story (and many others making the rounds) just seem to speak more to collective cultural illiteracy than anything about Oldman.

This, by all accounts, was originally what was envisioned, with the main elements being parts of the park, not the hotel, but then it seems like some corporate folks got involved and really went hard on monetizing the hotel experience.

I think one of the main ways she hammers this home is how she paid for an additional “photography” package, because she figured she’d be taking video the whole time and wanted someone else to ensure there were some nice photos of her experience. But then when she got there she saw that all the photographers seemed to…

I mean, the thing is, the theme parks are a pretty fun time! I live in Florida and grew up going to them. I enjoyed them as kids, and I enjoy them (mostly) as an adult.

Jenny’s theory espoused in the video is that these features - interactive droids and cast members that you could actually engage with “in character” - was removed from the park in order to paywall it behind the hotel experience.

I actually love the idea of a Star Wars themed hotel where I get to hang out and drink in the cantina with aliens and a galaxy viewport or whatever. But load my schedule up with 16 hours worth of tasks? No thanks.
