How the mighty have fallen, Disney's share price which stood at $200+ in early 2001 looks to be falling below $85 a share. It should happen by the end of the week.

The reasons are two fold. Their theme parks have become a cash grab, pricing out middle income families. On the entertainment side they're lurching from one mega bomb to another. They may have it rock bottom with their gay Star Wars series The Acolyte. That depends on them going ahead with live action Snow White and the upcoming Rey Wars. I was branded a bigot for torching the show, untrue. I'm against paint by numbers writing with cardboard actors, the show took a $100 million loss.

Not a bigot, I'm overjoyed that R2D2 came out as a lesbian. Hopefully the sapphic tin can can twerk as well as The Acolyte lead actress Amandla Stenberg.

The thing is, there was a FUCKTON of bigoted bullshit thrown at the show and its actors.

It was also a pretty crappy show, with terrible writing.
Both things can be true.

Disney had the golden egg in its hands and they dropped it.

When I found out that Carrie Anne Moss was in the series, I watched the first episode. AND THEY FUCKIN KILLED HER OFF. Here's the golden opportunity to create a Jedi worthy of Liam Neeson. Carrie Anne Moss is a bad ass, I watched it for her. After she was gone so was the show for me. I hope R2D2 is enjoying his new life.

Where would Keanu Reeves and Christopher Nolan be if Carrie Anne Moss hadn't entered their lives.

The Shivering Truth, (adult swim, 2018-20, 13 episodes, approximately 11.3 minutes per episode).

I downloaded this show last year, and have just started to watch it.

From wikipedia:

"When announced in a press release by Adult Swim in May 2017, The Shivering Truth was described as "a delicately crafted, darkly surreal anthology comedy, a miniature propulsive omnibus cluster bomb of painfully riotous daymares all dripping with the orange goo of dream logic. A series of loosely-linked emotional parables about stories within tales that crawled out of the deepest caverns of your unconscious mind and became lovingly animated in breath-slapping stop motion – in other words, it is the TRUTH" "

I would describe this show as what you would get if filmmakers like David Lynch and David Cronenberg directed episodes of Robot Chicken.
See post #834, (excerpt quoted above).

The Shivering Truth was removed for copyright claim, so if you had planned to watch these later, you're 'sol'

I'm re-watching Entourage. What a great series that was. You just won't see that kind of comedy in a show every again with how politically correct we all have to be now and with this new woke culture.

She's in the rest of the show since there are a bunch of flashbacks.
The worst thing is, there is a good show to be made out of the premise of The Acolyte - they just didn't make that show.

The Disney+ shows have mostly sucked.

Mandalorian was good in S1 and S2, and mediocre in S3.
Kenobi and Ashoka were sub-par.
Book of Boba Fett was just flat out bad.
Acolyte was bad.

Andor was spectacular, though.

Valcazar, I think you would enjoy "The War of the Stars", the 'grindhouse' cut of Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope.

I started Beacon 23 last night and I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it.

It's very disjointed and a bit slow. Don't get me wrong, I've fine with shows that are a slow burn, it's what made Dark so great, but it doesn't feel like there's going to be any pay-off.
