Disney Please, I Want to Talk About Anything Else

Is there a "Y" in this day of the week? There is?!?! Then I guess it's time for another Star Wars Galactic Cruiser video. I've been swamped by these things. I'm getting so tired of all this cringe. I really need a break from them. This is the welcome trailer that guests receive after they've booked a stay. It's been "leaked." Why do they think this is an improvement? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdPQbjVj8qk Did you catch the reference to the Age of...

Friday Night Open Thread

Post what you want but... Rule 1: It has to be related to pop culture. Rule 2: Rule 1 is pretty much it, I'll nuke any post that doesn't conform to it. UPDATE: Flash! The new trailer for the Star Wars hotel has been STRUCK! And it was Disney that nuked it. A Disney pixie-duster influencer of my acquaintance had been trying to get an early reservation to do a review. And she wasn't able to secure one. None...
