It's like how celeb cameos on Arthur look like uncanny valley monsters. like I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of PR people micromanaging the artists because MY FACE BRAND Also lol at thinking Simpsons has anY shame, like the only thing I can imagine happening is star trek stealthly editing their musk suck out of existence and hoping the internet doesnt remember/care enough to save the original.

All of the reviews for the star wars hotel I just looked at show people staring into their smartphone "datapads" in half of the pictures. I took my kid to Disneyland last spring break because he likes star wars now. All the rides and ambiance of the star wars land were a lot of fun. You know what wasn't a lot of fun? Constantly looking at my phone app to book fast pass tickets or find out ride wait times. I did it anyway because it's more fun for kids to go on rides than stand in line but it did not add to the experience. I'm a person shaped like a trash can, not a robot shaped like a trash can. I don't want my "interactive" experience to be through a computer screen.

I agree with that complaint, having to regularly open your portal to the outside world while you're inside Narnia genuinely does disrupt the immersion they advertised as being one of its key points. Like legit the whole purpose is to forget the world outside the space they designed exists- having you use your OWN technology instead of technology they provide like kiosks et al is the part where the designers were lazy and disinterested.

Yeah, exactly this. The phone is fine for regular life but paying $100 an hour to read fetch quests on my phone like I'm playing Star Wars Galaxies doesn't sound very satisfying. I don't remember seeing Luke Skywalker checking the data terminal to get a map to the shuttle bay while he was escaping the Death Star with his father's corpse (please don't post a hundred screenshots of Star Wars characters using the space computer). For the level of experience it bills itself as, I expect a bunch of Haunted-Mansion-style force ghosts giving me the fetch quests. Granted, I haven't been to the hotel so maybe it's better than the impressions I got.

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:At least we have the eventual Defunctland to look forward to. I love Defunctland, mainly for the staggering amount of work they put into research and production and making sometimes dry topics enthralling (that 1.45 hour long video about queues, a staggering fine piece of documentary making, it should be nominated for some kind of award). But I also love it for the way the presenter was quite noticeably traumatised by the amount of people emailing him nasty sex stories about the Garfield-themed dark ride at a park in Pittsburgh.

I went to Shanghai Disney (work paid team building) a few years back and I think it hadn’t rolled out the new system, there was just a fast pass option every two hours and no pre-park booking options, but it’s also pretty tiny comparatively. To get back fully on track with the topic, how about we all just admire the dumb marketing move… of THE DISNEY HANDWICH: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CT37IyTJQy4

Alhazred posted:"Maybe Ted Faro was...right?" is not a take I expected to find anywhere. Ted Faro correctly realized that the robots could be turned against humanity and pose an existential threat, and also knew that building in a backdoor for himself would create an incentive for someone to gain access to that backdoor and turn them against mankind. He sacrificed total power and control over the world in order to provide safety and security for all mankind. Therefore, he hired the best programmers he could find and had create a system that was 'unhackable', because if they got hacked, the robots could kill everyone. As it turned out, the best programmers on the planet didn't make the robots unhackable, the robots got hacked, and they started killing everyone. If Ted Faro's employees had merely been capable of following simple instructions, everything would have been fine.

"These robots can turn any biomass into fuel." Ted Faro: That's good! "Biomass including humans. Like, kids and stuff." Ted Faro: That's bad. "And they can reproduce themselves, no need for factories." Ted Faro: That's good! "Reproduce themselves by using humans as food." Ted Faro: That's bad. "And they'll be fully automated, no need for pilots." Ted Faro: That's good. "And there's no way to switch them off." Ted Faro: ... "That's bad." Ted Faro: Excellent. Put them into production.

Whenever a celebrity appears on modern Simpsons, its always to show how amazing they are, and how lucky the Simpsons are for being to meet them. They might get lightly made fun of, but only to show how quirky and cool they are. Its ridiculous levels of celebrity worship. Simpsons has become bad marketing for famous people.

Not sure it really qualifies as marketing but it is a self-torpedo along the vein of many idiot companies itt, the Sydney Herald revealed through really poor phrasing that they gave Rebel Wilson a 2 day deadline to out herself before they did because they are fuckheads https://twitter.com/meghamohan/status/1535597084589670400?s=20&t=pwqBtQaFHBHVBZT5bZ0iFg Don't read many threads featuring this kind of human misery(  ) anymore so I am unsure if it's the proper one in which to post
