I tried to watch The Godfather once - it bored me to sleep. Literally. And I wasn't tired or sleepy going in, no. And the worse thing is when I woke up it was still on! How long is that movie? It was a horrible experience.Originally Posted by The Darknight Detective
Heh. I could remember being happy to help my mother grocery shopping during a heatwave for the same reason. Ah, the frozen food section!
First movie I ever saw theatrically was The Godfather, but that was a drive-in. The first time I ever was in a theater was the following year in 1973 to see Charlotte's Web.

Who are you guys? Peter Griffin?
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

I was over 20 when I tried to watch it and I can't even tell you if I was up long enough to see that scene - swear to god as I was watching I kept asking myself what happened what did I see because it bored me so much my short term memory refused to log it. I kept forgetting the scenes I just saw! It just bored me that much. Think this was back when I was...23? 23-ish at any rate. Originally Posted by The Darknight Detective

I said I love the films and have them in my film library, but they weren't made for a second grader. Originally Posted by Kirby101

Vak, not Val. And no, I'm not Peter Griffin - I just found it dull to the point of exhaustion... Originally Posted by Kirby101

So Bob Chapek is wasting no time and has managed to already piss off the next MCU actor. Surprisingly Simu Liu wasn't pleased with Chapek's statement that the Shang-Chi release is an interesting experiment. That guy is a disaster for Disney.Last edited by chicago_bastard; 08-16-2021 at 01:23 AM.
Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.

Chapek's background is in marketing and the Theme Parks. What made them think he knew anything about making movies? The Peter Principle at work, no doubt. Originally Posted by chicago_bastard

He said an experiment in terms of the forty five day window that Black Widow didn’t have, Simu appears to have taken that for something more racist. Regardless I expect however it does compared to Black Widow people will have their excuses as to why. I am mixed about Chapek myself - he’s removing the autonomy of long term contacts and overseers in favour of what sells and what masses appear to want, which could be good or bad depending on the section of Disney. That said I would hate him to erode all the good stuff Iger managed. Originally Posted by chicago_bastard

If his background is in marketing, one would expect him to not say that something directed to the mass market is an experiment. That's for focus groups. Originally Posted by Kirby101
