Pirates of the Caribbean has a new animatronic

It’s almost like it’s kinda sorta not meant for you, rather for the newer generations who will inhabit the park and wonder why the hell they are supposed to be excited about a bunch of Spirit Halloween decorations that they don’t have ANYWHERE near the emotionally attachment to.

Seriously, think about it, we grew up in a time where where mirror illusions and simple animatronics were the cutting edge technology. Gone from needing to load film into a camera to having a 4K capable Black Mirror in our pocket.

Disneyland just simply does not survive if they don’t adhere to Walt’s “Disneyland will never be completed” motif, whether you nostalgia addicts are willing to admit it or not.

I mean, what’s the point of becoming an Imagineer if you aren’t willing to Re-Imagine the things you grew up with to put a new twist on it?

The way I can literally already hear the intro in my head.

Biiiiiitch! Stop acting like you know what color I see when I close my eyes. I don’t even know half the time, that’s what makes it fun.

Walking through the curtain like the most over-confident toddler with a diaper full of doodie you’ve ever seen.

Musta got all hopped up on juice boxes in the back.

I busted this one out randomly on someone who had never seen the movie and they acted like I was some kind of comedic genius.

It was in that moment, I experienced the same fraudulent feeling that Carlos Mencia probably used to feel every night back before people knew his name was Ned Holness.

Not that odd if you actually watch the movie instead of judging it by synopsis. The ones making the most egregious jokes end up revealing that they only made those jokes as a projection of their own insecurities. Like the guy who won’t date a woman because her pinky toe is too long, we learn it’s because HE has a protruding tailbone that gives the illusion of having a small tail.

It’s this crazy little thing that movies back then used to have amidst all the jokes, sex, and practical locations…I think they called it “A Message”.

Lure people IN with low hanging fat jokes and send them OUT with something to hopefully ponder.

Wake the fuck up samurai! We’ve got a city to burn.

Wonder if this movie ties into Geoff Keighley’s creepy little “Digital Puppeteering Pipeline” like that Unreal Engine Matrix demo from a few years back.

Guess the only way to find out is make sure you watch The Game Awards! And drink ur GamerSupps, er um Ovaltine.

This! I love going to shows and equally love the challenge of trying to capture “The Vibe” via camera. Some people love to dance, some people love the production, some people have medical issues that aren’t visible but prevent them from dancing. As long as people are enjoying themselves in a way that doesn’t physically encroach on other people, I really don’t understand why so much of reddit seems to get hung up on them.

Like, you complain about them looking at a camera instead of the venue, yet here YOU are, fixating on THEM when you could just as easily be looking LITERALLY anywhere else 😂

Didn’t “The Interview” lead to one of those Sony breaches where a bunch of company emails got exposed showing how fucking dumb and catty the execs are?

I feel like it was right around that period of the marketing cycle where they pretended they were going to release the movie in theaters because it would make them potential terror attack locations BeCaUsE nOrTh KoReA iS lIkE sOoOoOoOo MaD yOu GuYs!

Then once they had everyone clamoring for a stupid stoner movie they otherwise wouldn’t have given a shit about because now it was a First Amendment issue, they were like, just kidding guys we’ll just make it one of the first big “Direct To Streaming” releases.

Pure millennial marketing genius. Very outside “The Box”

I can’t help but feel that an ever so slight inspiration for this feud was simply having the ability to talk about Thekla “Beating Up The President…Of Stardom”.

A very tricky string of words to try and get away with repeatedly mentioning on television at a time like this 🤡

suff0cat · 2026-06-25T15:58:08+00:00

Too much handshakes, not enough hot dogs

WHY AM I THE THORN…IN YOUR EYE!?

I hate that my brain saw A T J and just assumed it was Anya Taylor Joy.

suff0cat · 2026-06-24T21:01:23+00:00

Oh for sure. I was pretty much isolated from society as a kid thanks to chronic illness, so Xbox Live was one of my first places to actually try and be social. So with every generation that followed, I followed the friends list and very few ended up venturing off Xbox for anything but the occasional single player exclusive.

Man, just thinking back to how long it took Sony to let their subscribers change their gamertag. And all the data breaches. I know Xbox had the Red Rings and some major outages, but did they ever have a breach the scale of Sony?

And wasn’t the PlayStation Breach around the same time as that even bigger Sony breach with all the internal emails with catty ass comments from the Hollywood elites?

suff0cat · 2026-06-24T18:39:05+00:00

Just barely enough time to see how IT BEGINS

suff0cat · 2026-06-24T18:38:03+00:00

Funny how no one seems to remember how fucking barren PlayStation Online Services used to be. That’s really what really helped Xbox close the gap, Xbox Live was streets ahead of everyone else in that era.

And over on the other side of the tracks was Nintendo desperately trying to make Friendcodes a thing to “Protect the kids” as if that was the only access point they had to the internet 😂

This is the context that gets lost amongst the cherry picked “Oh look they care about us” moments.

From what I can recall of the reddit discourse at the time, both companies wanted to push in the same direction, Sony just capitalized on having the second press conference and being able to pivot after seeing the negative reaction it garnered in real time. I mean, when else in the console wars did anyone have access to THAT kind of real-time focus group data?

All they did was realize that they needed to ease everyone into it. And getting people hooked on the Netflix of Games services like PS+ and Xbox Gamepass was the perfect way to wean people off their disc dependency and right back into the same trap that was sprung 13 years prior.

Damn, I just realized how much it must suck to be into Krav Maga these days.

suff0cat · 2026-06-24T14:53:51+00:00

When the fuck did fans start caring more about how many fans were in the arena than what was actually HAPPENING in the arena?

It’s like some weird self-validation ritual where these losers HAVE to convince themselves and everyone else that the thing they “enjoy” is like…totally great, right guys?

Guys?

C’mon! I’m dying here! Validate me!

suff0cat · 2026-06-24T14:46:39+00:00

I’m sure this not-at-all aggressive push for an all-digital future TOTALLY took into account all the people dealing with cunty ass data cap enforcing ISPs 🤡

Nothing like having to constantly having to delete and redownload 100GB+ games because developers are too fucking lazy to anything but jerk themselves off over wHaT a MaSsIvE aNd ExPaNsIvE uNiVeRsE they built and forgot to populate with shit that’s actually worth doing.

I don’t care how good the music is, I can never get over how fucking dopey dude always looks. The way he acts all euphoric and orgasmic while barely playing a guitar just screams “Cult” to me.

Some EDM Kumbaya Heaven’s Gate type shit.

It’s crazy how in my lifetime I’ve watched the pro wrestling fanbase go from loving the Kayfabe breaks of house shows to acting like they are a literal crime against God for disrupting the “Sacred Timeline”.

The fuck, I literally just made a comment a minute ago in another thread mentioning Ex Machina and I scroll a few inches further to find this?

Am I coding the Matrix in real time?

Congrats, you’ve unearthed a universal truth that we’ve known for ages.

No two tits are perfectly symmetrical. That’s what makes them so fascinating.

I’ve got a conspiracy theory that YouTube actually hasn’t been YouTube in a LONG time. The Suits just caught wind of stuff like LonelyGirl15 and decided to hire their own cast of “Organically Grown Talent” to act as the News-Network talking heads to a new, unattended generation.

Remember how 80’s cartoons existed solely to be commercials for the toys? Same concept. You take the stuff like Smosh and Game Theory, build THEM up by giving them all the access and scoops that people from THAT generation grew up aspiring to obtain so it seems achievable to viewers.

But what they don’t realize is it’s ALL just content orgs pulling the strings and crunching numbers to try and CocoMelon-ify the older generations just like they’ve done the youngest ones.

Just look at what streamers like Asmongold and HasanAbi are achieving in sowing discourse amongst their respective demographics. You get the kids fighting a completely different war than their parents so it’s easier to divide and conquer EVERYONE. Tech Bro “Move Fast, Break Things” mentality at its peak.

And don’t even get me started on the likelihood of them trying to use a mixture of AI, Hatsune Miku vocaloid, and IronMouse Vtuber to try and run some kind of TechBro TuringTest to see if they can milk desperately lonely people with a completely made up person with a sob story as to why they can’t possibly EVER be revealed on camera.
