Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2023 Edition

[Gary Stocker]

My top 3:

3. Treeehouse of Horror V - The Shinning, Time & Punishment, Nightmare Cafeteria
This is my favorite Treehouse. "No TV and no beer make Homer...something something....."

2. 22 Short Films about Springfield
For the many reasons mentioned, it's just a sublime slice of side-characters and really defines so many of them.

1. Cape Feare
Perfection. Period.

Honorable mentions go to Trilogy of Error, Seperate Vocations, Homer at the Bat, Lost our Lisa, The Book Job, Itchy & Scratchy Land - all fantastic!

"Noone who speaks German can be an evil man". I saw a Die Bart Die shirt on Amazon and am thinking about it for my next trip haha.

The Book Job is my favorite.

The Book Job is my favorite.

Right? As someone who has fancied themselves a writer and has about a third of a finished novel somewhere, I really identify with Lisa and her struggles to start writing. "Just three more games of online Boggle...." I love that whole episode!

Hey all,

Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for their support of this thread. Also want to share that I’m going to be taking a hiatus from the updates for a bit.

If anybody wants to take up the mantle or just make it a shared effort to keep things going that would be great!

Thanks again for everything!

Thank you for all your efforts! You will be missed. I’m certainly happy to contribute news items to this thread as part of the “team”. I’m going to South Dakota 6/10-6/17 but after that I’ll help with keeping things up to date.

Off topic but many of us are in this Canadian smoke mess and it's getting pretty orange outside again in Bridgewater, NJ.
www.airnow.gov will show you current air quality conditions.
Stay safe!

Dealing with the same air quality alert in NYC. This morning was a bit better but it is getting progressively worse as the day goes on. NYC public schools canceled all outdoor activities today.

I believe the forest fire in Jackson, NJ is now adding on to what we were already expecting from Canada, which is why things got demonstrably worse yesterday. I'm in SJ near Philly and it's somewhat unbelievable how much smoke we're experiencing.

I can't believe it either. This afternoon seems to be the worst conditions we have seen so far in my area.

Just north of Philly and you can actually smell the smoke in the air yesterday and today.

Just saw on the local Philly news that Pixar Putt ... Pixar themed mini-golf pop-up

https://pixarputt.com/

is coming to Penn's Landing in Philly starting July 1st. Looks like they already have a location in Chicago as well

Yes it currently smells like I am camping outside. If it wasn't dangerous it's weirdly pleasant.

Thank you so much for stepping in last year and keeping this thread going!

It takes a lot of time for one person to check and report on multiple news sources all day, every day.

Thanks again for all your hard work, and enjoy the time off. Sending many cheers of appreciation!

Is it overpowering the pot smell? I was in Manhattan a month ago and the smell of weed punched me in the face when I exited Penn Station...looks like legalization is going well .
