"A true knight always finishes a story." 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' may be my favorite series of all time. It has the element we most desperately need right now. Sincerity. In its themes, in its characters, in its craft. I'm off now to nail some pennies into an oak.

Why Disneyland is Better: The series continues

Rumor is they are finally going to have Star Wars in their Star Wars Land

Why Disneyland is Better: An ongoing educational series.

California has its moments.

The Baby Yoda Movie: I don't think the biggest problem is too many memberberries, it's the blatant farming of the "Based on characters created by..." credit to squeeze more residual payments for certain 'creators'.

I get the feeling that “we must think bigger for Villians Land” is spin for “we’re over budget, out of cash, the project is delayed, so we’re adding another bar”.

When will the national nightmare end?

I want to believe that theme parks invented cheerleading competitions as a way to monetize otherwise used performance venues.

From “I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I will never see” to “ooooh - tauntans! I clapped! I clapped!!” is certainly an interesting marketing choice.

JK relents.

Buzz among the Orcs is that Disney doesn’t care and Comcast is willing to spend a little coin to renew just because they’d rather spend the capital on new projects than a re-dressing. But Josh has to prove he’s a BSD Big Deal manipulator like Bobbie was, so it’s up in the air.

I could make fun of the shadow-world third option spec op humit secret squirrel stuff, but I genuinely like this show. Really good stunts, excellent fight choreography and fantastic technology run multiple time a day. And big props to the lead who pulls off the slow motion gag.

Instead of having your testicles shriveled by the Super Bowl half time show, watch an episode of “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” and re-connect with your honor.

It’s important sometimes to listen to the water and to the music and just…..pause.

And, of course, Ministry went down. You know Universal, an attraction isn’t “cutting edge” if no one gets a chance to ride it.

Rope dropping Ministry of Magic feels like a questionable decision.

Inside buzz says Josh is a caretaker. The industry is rapidly changing. Iger couldn’t lead The Company into the future and The Board (read that as the Big Ass Money Vultures) can’t decide what to do with an outdated Disney in the new tech driven Hollywood as Content model.

I go away for a bit and come back to find both Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger have decided to “pursue other opportunities”. Not a bad welcome home gift.

Deep rumblings: Strategic direction for Disney+ is to become a neo social media platform. Key buzz words are ‘user generated content” - essentially to make all the YouTubers and Instagramers post on D+ with easy to make content (AI).
