Boom! Disney getting canceled 🤣😅

I watch The Godfather in one of my classes with students and have seen it many many times. I can tell you that movie forward and backward. I've seen Frozen many times too because it was my oldest's favorite movie. I can tell you that movie forward and backward too.

My wife does school pickup and plays nanny for these three young sisters. Last Friday, their mom wasn't expected to arrive back from out of town until late evening, so my wife brought the girls to our house for movies and pizza.

We watched the remake of "The Lion King" and then "Babe 2," neither of which I'd seen before.

They were both pretty great. I think "Babe 2" is better than the first one.

Was that the live action Lion King?

I've never seen "Frozen." I've seen the first two Godfather movies but not the third one. Is it worth a crap?

Yeah, and it's incredibly realistic.

We rotate family movie selections in our house. So some of the time my oldest daughter selects the film, sometimes my youngest does. Sometimes my wife does and sometimes I do. My nights we've watched stuff like The Karate Kid and The Mighty Ducks.

Imagine telling another grown man that you were taking your kids to the new toy story movie and he started correcting you that it’s not really a toy story movie? And then explained why, in detail? Lol.

The third one is easily the weakest of the three. Sofia Coppola is really bad in it and the plot is jumbled. Coppola in 2020 put out a new recut version of it and it is better than the original version. It doesn't change a lot of the movie but the opening and closing are better and thus it makes it a marginally better film.

I'd never seen "Goonies" until fairly recently. I'd never before wanted to see it thanks to Cyndi Lauper and that annoying music video she made regarding it.

Here is your argument in a nutshell:

HT (and others who agree with you): "Lightyear was too woke and it didn't have Tim Allen as the voice which killed it."

People who've seen the movie: "It's because the movie is about the actual Lightyear person in canon and the Allen voiced doll was based on it."

HT: "Who has time to talk about a kid's movie?"

People: "You can read things online."

HT: "Reading is hard and I don't know how to work Google."

As much as people crapped on it, I was surprised it got nominated for best picture.

My oldest loved Goonies.

She mostly liked Burton's Batman.

She liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the most part.

She has also watched Ghostbusters and enjoyed that.

But she loved Karate Kid.

That movie was incredible as a kid back then.  It gave such a sense of adventure that I loved.

Those are all great movies that I still enjoy watching.

We watch AFV nearly every Sunday. If we miss it for any reason we watch the recording later in the week. Alfonso is great. Good clean fun, no BS. Not surprising it’s lasted so long.

I like all those movies too.  The Toy Story movies are great.  They are not kids movies, they are family movies.  They are meant for all ages and people of all ages enjoy them.  The first Toy Story movie came out in 1995.  I was only 12 so I grew up with these movies, just like most adults with young kids right now.

I know you are a very insecure person but no one would doubt your manliness if you watched these movies.

I'm a bit older than you and never watched Toy Story when it came out, but when my oldest got into it, we would watch it several times a month.  I have fond memories of being outside swimming, then we would come inside, watch Toy Story together, good times.

Interesting.  My oldest got little enjoyment from. "My" movies.   I guess he said Karate Kid was good, as was Back to the Future.   Nothing else besides Star Wars stuck with him for multiple viewings.   Hell, rewatching them and many u don't think are that great anymore, but a few stick.  

The almost 8 year old will be worse, I think.  She likes science stuff and movies with music, but we will see.  I don't care if they don't like stuff I do or did, and I assume I chase the rest of my family away from movies with my constant yapping about them.

The 3rd Godfather is terrible except for the final scene.  You can just watch it on youtube.

If I could give a bit of fatherly advice, be present when you're with your kids.  Don't be on your phone, don't be thinking about BS, be present, engage.  When you're watching a movie together, watch the movie, make a joke, laugh out loud when something funny happens, ask a question, show your kid you're interested in them.  This builds bonds, shared experience, shared emotions.

He probably had a continuous loop of "The Dirty Dozen" projected onto a big screen over his babies' cribs until they were toddlers, at which point he pivoted to "Patton," "The Big Red One" and eventually "Saving Private Ryan" by the time they reached preschool.

It's sad.

We went out for breakfast the other weekend, and family sits next to us, they give the little kid the ipad, of course, just like every other little kid, has to stare at an ipad at the table these days, then there was another pre teen kid, whips out her phone, then both parents are on their phones.  My teenage daughter commented on how sad it was.

So the bill signed yesterday, and what does it do?  Absolutely nothing.

Disney has its own govt still? Yes.  Tax breaks? Yes.

All the bill does it create a 5 person oversight committee, which desantis will appoint 5 good friends at $200k each, and they will oversee Disney's govt.  Desantis pays off some political favors, doesn't piss off Disney, and declares victory in the culture war against woke Disney.

And you idiots eat it up.

At his news conference, DeSantis said he would appoint Tampa attorney Martin Garcia as the chairman of the district’s new governing board, along with new board members Bridget Ziegler, a conservative school board member and wife of the Florida Republican party chairman Christian Ziegler; Brian Aungst Jr., an attorney and son of a former two-term Republican mayor of Clearwater; Mike Sasso, an attorney; and Ron Peri, head of The Gathering USA ministry.

Oh boy.
