You'll all really enjoy it. Even the technical aspects of different animation styles interacting with each other is worth a watch.

Movie was terrific. The kids watched it while I did some porch sitting because I needed a break. I watched it with the two oldest girls this morning in my room. The middle child watched it again later during the day. In between movie viewings, all three have watched episodes of the original series.

Amazing movie.

Now give us a Howard The Duck series, Lucasfilm, you cowards!

I expected it because people are fucking scum. But Disney is gonna go after them for that you’d think

I think it looks dumb, but that's because outside of maybe "Jungle Book" all of the live action remakes range from "forgettable" to "fucking garbage" IMO.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Not sure how you can judge the quality when they literally just showed you Ariel and nothing else.

I mean there's a trailer but you can tell literally nothing about the movie from it. Gary is right that most of the Live-action adaptations have not been good but I also am not going to declare it awful based on basically a still cam of her singing.

Mighty Ducks: Game Changers is back for Season 2. Solid stuff still feeling like they're mixing in elements from the movies (star who has a Luis Mendoza like issue with his game, Josh Duhamel as the ex-NHL pro running an institute reminding me of the HS coach from the 3rd movie, etc.)

The core characters are likeable without being too in-depth and carry the show with their camaraderie, Lauren Graham as the mom is fine (feels like there are some scenes she tries to ad-lib and they leave in/could just be her acting style though), and I like the change of scenery in regards to them being at an institute for the summer where it's easy to set up some simple character arcs/plot threads.

Tried watching the new Goosebumps series and made it 2 episodes. It's a decent watch with Justin Long being fun but it has the issues that plagued the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie in that it tries to weave together/interconnect all these individual stories to an overarching bigger plotline and it feels very... forced in. That sort of worked when it was a full-length movie but as a TV show, the original was great because it was a standalone anthology series.

Also not helping that it made the protagonists older, which is fine for Fear Street but again, this is a show that caters towards the 7-12 demographic in the books and it felt like Disney wanted the "movie" success without really catering to the younger demographic. The irony is shows like Just Beyond which I mentioned last year do a better job of this.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Watched the first five episodes of Goosebumps. It's decent and tries to retain the feel of the old books/TV series while doing something new. Weaving all the stories together is interesting and I'm willing to tough out the next five episodes before forming an opinion.

They also made the show geared more towards teenagers/young adults with mature language and even some gore. I guess they figure the target audience are people like myself who grew up reading the series in the 90s and is old enough to have kids of his own now.

Disney Movie Club is Dead: Sony Taking Over Physical Media Production

Shame as I really loved some of their stuff: Rescue Rangers Complete Series, their Blu-Ray Exclusives of the Disney catalog (The Parent Trap remake, Mighty Ducks 1-3, Cool Runnings, Big Green, etc.), getting the Kim Possible series...

Iger beat Peltz (and Perlmutter, who had been backing Peltz and has a notorious hatred for Iger) in the Disney Board Vote: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/bu...-peltz-disney-shareholders-meeting-rcna146184

"But that crusade fell short, as Disney shareholders approved board members backed by the current company leadership, denying seats for Peltz and his ally Jay Rasulo, a former chief financial officer at Disney.

In the run-up to Wednesday's vote, Disney's current directors rejected the plan by Peltz and fellow activist group Blackwells, saying that the billionaire "had not actually presented a single strategic idea for Disney" and that he lacked necessary subject-matter experience.

Iger's regime received public support from boldfaced names such as Star Wars creator George Lucas; JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon; Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs; and Disney family members like Abigail E. Disney."

I was wondering why we didn't get a new season for this year's Halloween season and now I have my answer.

I mostly enjoy all of the animated Disney movies, like Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Little Mermaid, Hercules, and Beauty and The Beast.

Caught the first episode of of the new seasob of Goosebumps which was pretty good. It really reminded me that I don't think I've seen David Schwimmer is anything else but Friends. Well I guess I watched the Pallbearer and I forgot he was the principal in Apt Pupil.

I saw it's largely based off Don't Go In the Basement as well as taking inspiration from Goosebumps books The Haunted Car, Monster Blood, The Girl Who Cried Monster, The Ghost Next Door, and Welcome to Camp Nightmare.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Yeah Camp Nightmare was probably my favorite Goosebumps book si I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out in the new series.
