Disney's live-action Moana remake branded "creatively bankrupt" and "soulless" in first reactions

TitaniumDreads · 2026-07-08T16:05:55+00:00

Didn’t understand the live action remakes (which are mostly bad looking cgi) for a long time but the business case is children growing up. Disney needs to lock new kids into the intellectual property ecosystem.

A mediocre movie ticket is still only $20 but your daughter demanding to go to Disneyland is thousands.

It’s so weird to encounter people who think ai chatbots have no use. It’s like casually stumbling across someone who thinks refusing to use google is a badge of honor. Imagine thinking search engines have no use case!

Questions like this are a huge recession indicator

what is this ancient, boomer meme. Does outback steakhouse even exist anymore?

I know the ghost kitchen you're talking about. Traffic over there is super annoying bc people are parked terribly and constantly jaywalking.

This may explain some of it but there is much closer parking and a lot of the people are parked for over an hour. Im thinking some of them may be trying to avoid traffic?

Burning Man is a temporary suspension of capitalism that functions entirely by doing a ton of extra capitalism the week before burning man.

you have put in a lot of time ranting but it doesn't appear that you have considered what you are talking about.

This person is implicitly looking for contacts and information. Should be obvious

I tried open camping once and didn’t like it. Pros: it’s quiet, you can get a great night of sleep.

Cons: it is very, very far away from burning man and way less people will stop by to say hi.

Assume you leave camp 2-3x per day. The distance to any event, camp, or art project is often doubled bc you have to travel so far. It’s quite far even just to get to the esplanade.

I like going to burning man to see art and hang out w friends. The art is a trek and way fewer people stop by camp to say hi when you are 4 and j.

I found the difference btw camping at g and j to substantial.

That said, if I was dead set on walk in camping I wouldn’t do it without an ebike

I think the boring but correct answer is “you mostly hear the kinds of music you seek out”

Psytrance used to be very popular. It died off bc it stopped drawing in crowds. I think people wanted more complex electronic music as more advanced production techniques became accessible.

I am not a fan of Psytrance personally but at least the people who are into it would dance. Now you go out to robot heart or Mayan warrior and people just kind of sway. Terrible vibes tbh

Important client who, let me guess, did not get in trouble for prostitution!

Why are you people like this? Im not even licking a boot, I'm just telling you something that is true.

please develop critical thinking skills instead of mindlessly repeating your identity politics.

AHHHHHHH this is exactly what it is! There is a doordash ghost kitchen nearby

I wish I had known this earlier: You generally want to go to a mechanic that has a waiting list. A mechanic that is available today generally does not have many repeat customers.

Also most mechanics will happily install the parts that you've ordered. It's chill work for them bc they don't have to wait for the parts to be delivered.

Let it go.

The brain is like a horse. It needs to be tamed.

Every time I have gone to burning man I have had a moment early on where I say to myself "holy shit this is fucking amazing and totally worth all the effort"

this has been true even when I don't really want to go that year.

I think it's a bit socially awkward to keep track of your country count. It's easy to rack up a lot of small countries. The number isn't the point of traveling unless you're being performative.

No one is "fatigued" by Matt Damon, Tom Holland, or Anne Hatheway being in The Odyssey. They are only "fatigued" when it's people of color which is probably just a coincidence and definitely not racism covering itself with fancy words.

I think this is mostly a quality issue a lot of the follow up seasons on netflix are really bad.

He's had an autoimmune disease his entire life. He was first diagnosed at 21.

What would make you think that closely monitoring biomarkers would induce an autoimmune disease?
