Thanks! Now I need to find time to watch all of this.

Am I the only one who wants Apple to go out of business?????

As long as the lemmings keep buying I'm good with Apple. It's a component of my stock index fund.

 

[Sweettears]

I am pretty anti-apple. Though my employer has it set up that you can't use android for work phones so I finally broke down and got an iPhone (still not a fan, would prefer android).

I did get a case that shows Snow White "eating" the Apple apple icon on the back though to make myself feel a little better about it

That's sounds cool. Can you post a photo?

 

[Moliphino]

Nope, I've never been a fan...from as far back as they started pushing the Macs into the school system. Felt to me like a drug dealer - "first one is free....then...." But I know I'm in the minority as practically everyone I know has an "i-something"

I'm not a fan, either. I don't own a single Apple product and it already annoys me that iPhones get the best selection of Disney phone cases.

You would think that Disney would see the profit opportunity and exploit it. I guess it doesn't quite have the margin of a $75 dessert option.

Well, it was explained to me that iPhones more universal in size -Androids had way too many sizes... maybe - not sure if I really believe that when I see the whole rack of iPhone options.

I refer to the Apple fans as iSheep. Baaaaaaaaa.

On a side note. I did hear Apple's plans for Disney Parks.

In the first year, all the speakers playing music throughout the parks will be moved from the top of the poles to the bottom.

In the second year, all speakers will be removed and you will be required to purchase special Bluetooth headphones in participating Disney (or Apple) stores.

Guys as much as I love the discussion I think it's time to move on from the discussion of whether Apple is good or not.

I write this on my iPhone while wearing an Apple Watch as well as my iPad and MacBook Pro are near me.

Not really. I prefer if the US economy doesn't tank. However, I guess I would benefit directly due to my employer. I think they would just mess it up though

EDIT: Oops Sorry @rteetz.

Just got home from Beauty and the Beast.

I have to say I liked it better than I thought I would. No it doesn't beat the original for me but I thought it was quite good. Evermore the new song was a great add in my opinion. Emma Watson is no Paige O'Hara but I thought she did a good job. Emma Thompson was probably the best choice for Mrs. Potts next to Angela Lansbury, she did a great job.

Glad I am not alone! Sorry I don't have anything else to contribute to the true subject at hand. Let the rumors commence!

Good point - almost as good as Apple is!

*gotta stay on the right side of the Mod*

Glad you enjoyed it. I did too - though also understood some of the criticism Craig and Ryno had for it (the pacing for example)

Interesting that you liked Emma Thompson so much as her performance is one I've seen questioned a bit (not her as an actress but more the accent she went with)

I think everything has been questioned in this film. I can't think of anyone right now who I think could play Mrs. Potts better. Of course Angela Lansbury will always be the best though.

I thought it was very well done. The village scenes with Gaston weren't nearly as good as the original, but I thought it really improved on the relationship between Belle and the Beast. It always bugged me that he was treated as illiterate after being a prince that grew up in a castle with a massive library. Much more sensible to have them bond over that somewhat.
