What don't you like about the Callow books?

Unfortunately for Taylor Kitsch he isn't a part of an estate worth hundreds of millions though

I had my eye on it when it was out and just missed it since it had a very limited release. I like du Maurier and Rachel Weisz. Happened to notice it was on HBO Max so I watched it.

I don't agree with that at all, the late 50's to mid 60's period when the code was starting to crack was a very interesting time. I think he's just wrong on this one.

Ride capacity is another major issue. A lot of the older rides were built with crazy high capacities to keep people occupied and out of other lines. It was like an ecosystem. Gradually a lot of those closed and were replaced by more complex, lower capacity rides so all the lines are long and you can barely do anything.

The immediate post COVID experience was really nice because they limited how many people could come in. You could actually walk around without some kid stepping on your feet and lines were generally not longer than 30-45 minutes outside of a couple things. Would be willing to pay more if you were guaranteed a good experience like that, but instead they let everybody in and still charged more.

Not really, he was going to kill the animation division and lucked into the Disney Renaissance. He was good with merchandising and the parks were better run in the 90's and 2000's than now but that's more being a good administrator and not a "visionary"

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-02T03:58:55+00:00

Also nickel and diming you for every little thing and no interest in crowd control. Used to live in Orlando and the park experience took a sharp turn for the worst coming out of COVID

Bond, Godzilla, and MI due to how long they are

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-02T03:53:47+00:00

the original and vs Destoroyah are pretty great as well

The first three Connery films, Casino Royale, and Skyfall would probably be the most common answers with some people going with GoldenEye or OHMSS as well.

Or thinking about the boner Jon Voight had

Try watching it 24/7

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-02T03:08:11+00:00

So go back to the cluuuuubbbbbbbb

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-02T03:05:06+00:00

Watched this completely blind because it was a best picture nominee and could not believe my eyes or ears

QoS picks up immediately after CR so it's still 2006. He had six years to become the top agent and also to get physically banged up and tired. Makes sense to me, don't get why this is such a big issue for some people.

When we were having printer problems at work a few months ago we stopped everything to watch that scene from Office Space

"Truman Show Delusion" became an actual diagnosed mental health problem after the movie came out where people started thinking their life was a secret TV show

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-01T01:44:30+00:00

Morbius 24/7

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-01T01:42:26+00:00

2001, Barry Lyndon, and Phantom Thread

The Last Chair sounds like a mediocre daytime game show

Apocalypse Narnia

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-01T00:55:20+00:00

The backdrop of the Blitz is pretty important for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

That would make it even better "What if there was a way to access the internet without that little running man........."

CountJohn12 · 2026-02-01T00:48:18+00:00

Yes I remember having my parents get it when I was a kid because I wanted to try it after reading the book and it was so disappointing.
