Someone got a hat I can eat?

I swore it wouldn't happen, as it would cause Fox to gut their own broadcast station. Several industry analysts felt the same way, so it wasn't just me. As the deal got closer and Simpsons remained part of it, it occurred to me that maybe Fox intends to gut it's broadcast network. They couldn't sell the actual station, so they decided to sell all of it's "content" and just let the station whither on the vine. I'll be curious to see what happens to the station over the next few months. I've read "some speculate Fox’s primetime may be filled with live, primarily sports programming, news magazines and possibly reality shows."

Odd to think how many major areas at Universal Studios are based on content and characters owned by Disney at this point.

What I really want to know is what Disney is going to do with Garfield: The Movie... lol

Hopefully burn it in a dumpster fire.

Also, I wanted to mention something completely unrelated to any topic.

Sometimes we dump on Disney for producing live-action versions of our beloved animated films but, for the most part, they are well done.

Maybe this is old news, but this is the first time I've ever seen this...Universal made a live-action Woody Woodpecker movie. They spent a month filming it. It was released in Brazil in October and was scheduled for a worldwide release in April 2018, but is now coming to DVD in February 2018.

Don't get me wrong, Disney is a business and will come up with any idea to milk their franchises as much as possible, but at least when they producer something as bad as Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 they don't try to pass it off as a theatrical feature.

Sorry for the rambling. Watching that trailer just made me reflect a bit.

My husband bought himself a ticket using the argument he should preview it before taking our daughter (they have a traditional Daddy-daughter date for any and all SW movies) It's his way of seeing this in theaters more than once.

This is exactly what I am doing...haha. I'm going tonight and then taking my daughter on Sunday. I can't wait! I had to wear a "join the resistance" shirt to work today - though my daughter's friend informed me that was not professional this morning

The actual article says 47, and if I counted right I came right around 45 and he may have counted things like Mickeys Philharmagic which I didn't - though it was disturbing to count rides in Studios and only come up with 4. :-(

The cars that go down Main Street count as a ride. That might be one that you are missing. I do not think Philharmagic counted

 

[TheMaxRebo]

So not the happiest of memories but on this date in 1966 Walt Disney passed away ... thank goodness his brother Roy was able to carry the company for a while

 

[BigRed98]

Bummer, I like them and they always seemed busy, I'd better get back over there this month

The article states that there not sure if there moving it to another location in Disney Springs or completely taking it away.

and wasn't yesterday's about the Pixar Pier model and the most information in that story was about the incredicoaster too - really not 2 separate "days" worth of content

Maybe the day when we got two different stories would have been better, like the Hong Kong Disneyland Castle?

Thanks, now I have to wrestle with sartorial issues vs. fangirldom. You don't know how often this happens...try explaining your awesome Horde hoodie at barre classes.

Anyhow...this is just occurring to me, but who owns the right to Gone with the Wind? I'd love to be chased out of ATL by fire on a ride.

Must. Resist.

PSA: Go see The Last Jedi that is all.

Do you have any idea where you would rate this one compared to the other 7 movies? I guess include Rogue One also.

That’s hard. I need to see it again. It’s better than Force Awakens for me. I’m thinking it’s in the top 5 for sure.

Thanks! You just found me my husband's Christmas present!
