News Round Up 2020

I don’t put most of my more “valuable” or prized Disney ornaments on a tree but rather an ornament stand. Some stay out year round others do not.

I really only have one that is an ornament - a Nautilus with squid attacking. I want to make a little base to hang it from since it doesn't have a flat base.

Yeah, huge water main break in the city of Tampa. Boil water notification for the entire county of Hillsborough right now.

He comes off as quite a crybaby in his response to this. WB was sort of forced to do this because of his insistence on releasing Tenet to theaters and having it bomb due to people not being comfortable going yet. Judging from the responses on Twitter, Nolan comes off as the villain here.

I can't blame Warner for their stance, though it does sound like they could have talked it through with Legendary Pictures and other invested parties. I get that they didn't have to, but it might have been a professional courtesy, you know?

This kills that theory that when movies completely shift away from theaters, and when movie budgets have to be cut significantly due to the loss of theatrical gross, that actors will gladly take a pay cut.

While his story wasn’t part of the Disney+ series, “The Right Stuff” Chuck Yeager’s story was a major part of the book and movie:

I want that hat!

I think it’s true that the pandemic will change some things forever but how first run movies are released is not one of those things. We’ve had direct-to-tv movies for 70 years. Sometimes major things were launched on TV. But if people wanted to consume movies that way, movie theatres would have gone under years ago.

The ToT ornament is up on Shop Disney this morning if anyone is looking.

They’ve had that hat in the store at Poly for a few years now. I’ve been drawn to it every time we visit, but it runs very small. Wouldn’t fit my head.

Thanks! Just snagged one this morning.

While the Disney resin ornaments have great detail, it can be like hanging a 10 ton weight on the tree. I just started decorating my tree which is on the small side, and I'm having trouble with too many of the resin ornaments as I'm running out of sturdier branches for them.

Thank you! Just snagged that and the Up! house was on sale, too.

I think I will give ToT and CBJ to my daughter to display in her room year round. Good thing about fake trees is you can bend the branches which helps! This is my 2nd year having a fake and it's better for those heavy ones.
