They did make a Haunted Mansion movie, though.

It had Eddie Murphy and was very bad, which is why you don't remember it.

I'm aware of the movie, and am forever grateful it sucked as much as it apparently did.

I don't even mind Jack Sparrow being there, but every loving character has to keep saying his goddamned name.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Geoff Johns is pretty much single-handedly holding a few superhero franchises back by insisting on only using the blandest personality-free original versions of them instead of the ones that anyone actually remembers or likes.

I like eBay, mainly because I can buy Parker Jotter pens from India where they cost half what they go for in the United States. Why India? I'm going to guess British colonialism has at least one good side effect, which is a love for good pens.

Edit: content:

Those Jardiance commercials are weird because it's a bunch of really healthy looking people (cameraman, host, producer, sound guy) chasing unhealthy people around to tell them about diabetes tablets.

I think it'd work better if you had someone like John Goodman telling you about the medicine. Like, "I'd be dead right now without these pills. You could be dead soon too."

John Goodman has lost something like 150 lbs since 2015. He's still 6'4" and about 250 now, but the dude lost an entire person.

This is a gift to humanity. No matter how good the movie was, Disney would have shoved some actor into the Haunted Mansion three different places and ruined it forever.

gently caress Jack Sparrow.

Apparently when Johnny Depp is in town he likes to for whatever reason get in full Jack Sparrow wardrobe and makeup and spend an hour or two pretending to be a fourth animatronic of himself on the ride, and Disney just lets him do it.

He’s done that before, seesawing with his weight. Its good that he’s lost some though. He sounded unhealthy as gently caress in 9 Cloverleaf Lane.

He’ll probably gain weight to play Dan Conner again.

I can't remember the title but I remember reading some story where an adult woman was put into/transformed a new body of a teenager. She was loving repulsed by how many men hit on her repeatedly, even after she explained she was loving 15 years old. "Well yeah but you're mentally so in tune with me, a 40 year old man!"

Rosanne has said that if they make the new season she will figure out a way to explain that Dan didn't die, just ran out on his family. The whole thing is nuts.

"On December 20, 2009, Barr posted an entry on her Web site regarding what a possible Roseanne reunion would be like, which includes: DJ's being published, Mark's dying in Iraq; David's leaving Darlene for a woman half his age, Darlene coming out of the closet and meeting a woman and having a test tube baby with her, Becky's working at Walmart, Roseanne and Jackie's opening the first medical marijuana dispensary in Lanford, Arnie's becoming the best friend of the Governor of Illinois and remarrying Nancy, Bev's selling a painting for $10,000, Jerry and the grandsons forming a music group similar to the Jonas Brothers, Dan's reappearing alive after faking his death , and Bonnie's being arrested for selling crack"

Watching old shows on my dvr and sometimes I don't get to the remote in time to fast forward the commercials, so I keep hearing one for Chuck E. Cheese about "how did we make Chuck E. Cheese more mom-friendly? We surveyed moms to find out" and they give all these stupid suggestions and then determine they're going to make the pizza taste better. They end by saying paraphrased "Come on by and try the pizza that beat Pizza Hut in a taste test!" Like be careful guys someone's going to trip over that low bar you set for yourself.
