iTunes maybe?

Only available for purchase there too. I'll wait for it to hit netflix someday.

Tommorowland suffered for me from a weak third act - they spent the first 2/3rds of the movie to get to Tomorrowland...and then it just sort of went **BLAH**. Disappointing from Brad Bird who has done some great stuff.

It just became too risky to produce original films. They rarely get the box office re-makes/sequels do. That's where the industry is right now, unfortunately.

How did that happen? Was that a car on fire?

Fire is out. 5-7 people being treated for smoke inhalation.

Hope all is well, but just wanted to say that at anytime of day or night, where I work (1200 employees) you could treat that many for smoke inhalation in the parking lot too!

Happy Valentines Day!

Tomorrowland, like many films, could have used another 3-6 months in the writers room. It had a lot of potential - kind of falls apart in the third act - then has something of a brilliant/moving coda. More tweaking on the page would have resulted in a much better film and probably a hit. These days studios seem more worried about camping out on a release date than making sure the films are as great as they can be.

So far, this has not been a problem with Star Wars and Marvel films.

Just got through taking a survey. Anyone else got one like this? Basically a MDE survey.

Yes, but the first 2 questions asked if I had been to WDW in the past 30 days and plan on going again in the next 12 months. My answer to both was yes and that led me to not qualify for the survey.

Good point - and I will also be lined up to see the new Beauty and the Beast when it comes out.

Went to the scene (maybe 7 running minutes?) at One Mans Dream-looks incredible, just cant wait.

Went twice actually.

So there was a modification made to a permit for the area around DHS which is leading to speculation that some different form of transportation might be coming.
