Re: Implosion of Film Industry

You could be right in your analysis, Moe. Related to this, I read an article in The Hollywood Reporter that discussed Johnny Depp's refusal of cutting his $20 million salary requirement for a movie. The movie company needed cuts in the budget, but [more]

Re: Implosion of Film Industry

Here's an interesting post over at Deadline vis a vis this subject. Note one of the comments to the post mentions an analogy between the concert industry and movies: if you're willing to buy a recording of a concert after seeing a showm, would you [more]

Re: Another WDW Food Truck Review

You're going to have to forgive me, because I may have asked this before, but does Disney own this and staff this with cast members or is this an outside owner that comes in with a truck and splits the proceeds with the company?

I'm always [more]

Re: Implosion of Film Industry

Very interesting comment from Lucas/Spielberg. And I agree, W.D., about the risk from a communicable disease.

Not sure what the answer is. Going for lower budgets is difficult, and theater chains will nix the first-to-cable method. And on [more]

Re: MouseDroppings - Disney Pirates Pirates?

I would certainly hope Disney doesn't settle this. I don't see why anyone involved in the production would need to steal any IP.

Re: Iron Man 3 DVD

Those are good points, Fuskie. Perhaps the need to do this has passed for those reasons. Certainly distribution strategies and requirements have changed. The only way to maybe make this succeed is if release was slightly different.

Re: Iron Man 3 DVD

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Disney actually would like to release the video as early as possible if it could. Unfortunately, the theaters and talent participants usually put up a fuss.

Coinciding with Thor would make more sense, [more]

Iron Man 3 DVD

I've said this before, so I'm repeating myself, so please forgive. But in all honesty, wouldn't it be nice if Disney released Iron Man 3 on DVD/Blu-ray the week of the release of Monsters University, with a nice promo for that film on the disc (maybe [more]

O price action

I'm being killed on O. Yet, I think the selling is overdone and that it should go back above $50 at some point.

Any opinions?

Re: Look who is #1 after 18 YEARS!!!

Moe, Fuskie, and W.D.,

Here's something of particular note vis a vis Moe's link: notice the special "Toy Story of Terror" on the line-up. This looks like a great use of Pixar's big property, and I'm sure many think the way I do on [more]

Re: MouseTails - Behind The Magic Of HK Disney

I forget if I mentioned this before or not, but if I did, let me say again this Mystic Manor idea is smart, creative, and lends itself to a movie or TV series project. Would also make a great video game, although I would have loved to have seen it [more]

Re: MouseHugs - Diversity And The Force

That was a pretty cool post about the experience of that family with Star Wars. Glad the kids got to be the rebel spies, I never heard of that honor. I don't know a lot about the parks in general and what the Star Wars ride entails, but seems like it [more]
