Long-form Writing Covering Film, TV, Theme Parks, and Happy Meals
To say a lot is riding on the long rumored and discussed Avengers Campus e-ticket attraction is an understatement. Much like the Avengers in Infinity War, I think Disney needs to do "whatever it takes" to make this ride a success. The ride has already gone through a number of iterations in under a decade. … Continue reading A Deep Dive into the King Thanos Ride Vehicle at Disneyland’s Avengers Campus
Today is Destination D23, the biggest day of the year for Disney Parks announcements. Every other year Disney fans get together at D23 in Anaheim or Destination D23 at Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort to celebrate all things Disney - but mostly to hope they get some juicy announcements about new rides and attractions that … Continue reading DESTINATION D23 Walt Disney World Recap: Test Track 3.0 at EPCOT, Pirates of Caribbean Tavern at Magic Kingdom, Tropical Americas at DAK and More, More, More!
I'm loving AHSOKA. Part great acting, part great story, part great characters, part inspired plotting - and (maybe most importantly, maybe most surprisingly?) stunning cinematography. And in that cinematography, I've noticed a lot of prequel trilogy references. So many that I'm now compiling a list of all the prequel trilogy visual references for the series. … Continue reading AHSOKA’s Prequel Trilogy References – Visual And Thematic Echoes
I've been thinking about the greater themes of the BARBIE movie and I have a lot of things to say - I mostly just didn't know how, until yesterday. I’ve now seen the film a half-dozen (that's a six pack of brewski beers) times, including a viewing yesterday on National Cinema Day. I had to … Continue reading How that BARBIE movie logo adds meaning to Greta Gerwig’s film | HEAR ME OUT
In honor of FROZEN's upcoming 10th anniversary, Disney announced the October release of FROZEN: FORCES OF NATURE, a FROZEN podcast that will be canon to the FROZEN saga and will tell a story that occurs AFTER FROZEN II but before FROZEN III. If you are already a FROZEN fan and that isn't interesting enough to … Continue reading FROZEN: FORCES OF NATURE PODCAST ANNOUNCED! New Characters! Magpies! Akershus?! Setting up FROZEN 3???
I’ll be perfectly honest. There is no way I would have tried the McDonalds AS IS meal if not for the LOKI sweet and sour sauce. I’m a sucker. I get it. But it got me into my car and into the drive thru at McDonalds for lunch today. Was it worth it? On the … Continue reading I tried the McDonalds AS IS MEAL. (LOKI Season 2) Sweet and Sour Sauce is good.
Truth be told, I haven't really "loved" Disney 100 so far mostly because they have made it a centerpiece at the parks, where it feels VERY out of place IMO. We're not celebrating a park - this is a celebration of a company's governmental incorporation. Which is absolutely fine. Let's celebrate it. But it feels … Continue reading I Watched FROZEN on the big screen today! Some thoughts on Disney 100 and the state of the Disney…
When I saw a Phoebe Waller-Bridge ne Helena Shaw action figure and playset show up at Target, I just had to buy them. Yes I am a big fan of PWB. I loved RUN on HBO. I loved KILLING EVE. I loved CRASHING. I liked FLEABAG (little too vulgar for me but hey, that’s on … Continue reading UNBOXING HELENA: Unboxing Helena Shaw Action Figures… Also some thoughts on DIAL OF DESTINY: Great Movie/ Bad Indiana Jones Adventure?
Brie Larson - YOU ARE A HAPPY MEAL TOY (again)! THE MARVELS (aka the CAPTAIN MARVEL sequel) Happy Meal toys have arrived at McDonalds. Originally the film was schedule to be released NEXT Friday, July 28th. But earlier this year, that date was pushed all the way back to November 11th. Unfortunately release dates do … Continue reading THE MARVELS Happy Meal Toys Have Arrived at McDonalds – And Princess Carol is wearing a Captain Marvel gown!
There’s a lot to love about this year's live-action THE LITTLE MERMAID. But one of the least discussed and most delightfully intriguing parts of the film are Ariel’s mermaid sisters. Each mermaid sister felt like they inhabited their own story in their own world in their own film. And most importantly, they all felt like … Continue reading A Deep Dive into Ariel’s Mermaid Sisters In THE LITTLE MERMAID (2023)
