I thought Tonnage and Poundage was set at the beginning of the Mayor’s term. This is sounding a bit like personal rule to me.*

I feel this in my soul.
So many times I’ve made a video where there are two conflicting accounts of what happened: one from the motherfuckers who were actually there, and one from someone with a degree writing about it 100 years later.
Typically, I go with the accounts of the people who were there, assuming they seem plausible. Then I get flooded with comments calling me stupid because Historian XYZ from the University of He Wasn’t Fucking There disagrees.

in 1982 Titanic survivor Ruth Becker was giving an interview where she stated the ship broke in two. The treasurer of the Titanic Historical Society actually took the microphone away from her and said she had been mistaken. 3 years later they found the wreck broken in 2

If you move from the city to the country, mind your business. 😆👏🏼

@Not_the_Bee @KeenanPeachy When people were mad, there was a chance to bring it back. Now that there is apathy, it is done.

@KeenanPeachy Yup. My son went from 6 years old and the biggest fan of all time to 14 and not even caring that a new movie is coming out. It took about 10 years total, but they killed the magic for every demographic.

I was at Disney when the Land launched. In fact, I personally wrote a lot of the copy for the Star Wars Land rides and the Star Wars hotel in the marketing materials and for the website.
When I say there was crushing disappointment, almost a feeling of betrayal that the whole thing was on the new IP and not the original IP, I am not exaggerating.
Disney made the decision to invest this money in order to support the new trilogy, which they thought would erase the old one in the minds of fans. The level of hubris around this is one for the business industry history books.
Bob Chapek, who was head of Parks at the time (since fired in disgrace), was in charge of greenlighting all creative in Star Wars Land. He killed things like a lifesize Bantha ride where guests would ride around the land on top of a Bantha. He killed the live show at the cantina. And most importantly, he gave the land its own lame subplot where you had to use your phone to scan kiosks and get some code messages deciphered so you were "part of the Resistance," but it had no payoff.
Then reality struck: they made a trilogy that destroyed the OG characters. They elevated an insufferably annoying mary sue girl boss, added a pathetic loser son of Han, a divorced Leia and Han, a disillusioned and bitter Luke, and then killed Luke, Han, and Leia.
Result: JJ Abrams' career was finished as a filmmaker. Rian Johnson was wrecked. Kathleen Kennedy is finally out as head of Lucas. Chapek out. Disney movies are garbage. The greatest entertainment IP ever created was lit on fire to appease the egos of the geniuses who bought it and thought they could outdo the original genius.
And now it's too late. No one cares that Darth will be walking around again to John Williams score. The new Leia face character looks like Brenda from HR.
By the way, Tomorrowland already HAD Stormtrooper) (the original ones, not the new fat ones_, Jedis, and Darth in a wonderful live show for years. My kids all took part in light saber battles against Darth Vader many times. It was hilarious and thrilling. Killed in favor of the new slop.
Absolutely over.

Disney spent $1 billion in 2019 building a Star Wars theme park where you were not allowed to meet Luke, Leia, Han, or Darth Vader. Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland was set on Batuu, a backwater planet in a narrow window between The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. By that timeline Luke was dead. Han was dead. Vader had died 30 years earlier. Leia was alive but had no canonical reason to show up at an outer rim smuggler outpost. Imagineer Scott Trowbridge spelled out the design rule in 2022. Characters on Batuu would stay locked to their specific era. No visitors from other Star Wars timelines. The immersion was the entire point. In practice guests flew to Anaheim for Star Wars and walked through a $1 billion set to meet Vi Moradi and Dok-Ondar. The locals of Black Spire Outpost. The parallel failure was Galactic Starcruiser. $5,000 for two nights in the same sequel-era window. No Luke, no Vader, no Han, no Leia. Disney wrote down $250 million to close it 18 months after opening. On April 29, Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland abandons the rule. Darth Vader will roam Batuu hunting Luke. Leia and Han will appear at the Millennium Falcon. Kylo Ren is being pulled from the land and relocated to Tomorrowland. The ambient Batuu music gets replaced with the John Williams score. Disney spent seven years defending the design principle. Then Galactic Starcruiser closed with a $250 million write-down. Luke Skywalker showed up for one limited event last year and got swarmed by guests. The rule quietly got dropped. Avengers Campus figured this out on day one. You put Captain America in the Avengers land.

They did on purpose look up Pablo Hidalgo. The guy apparently does or has been the story group leader. He hates the United States. He hates white men. He hates Star Wars. He can sit there and say I know everything about it big deal doesn’t mean you love it. He is a refugee from Chile. He’s a communist and he’s still at Lucas film. My question is why weren’t there layoffs of Lucas film if there are at Marvel and he would be the first one I’d ask with an NDA so he couldn’t say a word.

Six Years to Replace Infrastructure

On May 19th, 2020, during a storm, the Edenville dam in Michigan failed. It was a Tuesday evening. The flood waters caused the Sanford Dam to fail on the 20th.
After a lot of finger pointing, and at least one lawsuit, it was decided to rebuild those 2 dams, and repair/upgrade two more that were also impacted by the storm but did not fail. ...

Amazon is Keeping Project Hail Mary in Theaters
wheelgunr.blogspot.com/2026/04/amazon…
Taking it out of theaters right now would be a bad business decision. Project Hail Mary Won't Be on Streaming Anytime Soon ...

@Davidschonitz @fandompulse Yeah, it will make money - it may even be profitable now - but your post was not clear... and way too many people (even some who write for magazines) seem to think that studios get 100% of the gate
English
@ZendoDeb @fandompulse Yes, I do. Why are you replying to me like I'm not basically alluding that this isn't exactly a money maker. 🤣🤣🙈🙈. I get it. 😉

Project Hail Mary's domestic total is projected to reach $283 million by the end of the weekend.
Its budget was $200 million.
What was the secret that made this film such a success?
