Shame Boy posted:The only part of Celebration I've visited is the 7-11 off I-4 cuz I needed gas on the way to my parents' house. It's a weird art-deco 7-11 because all the buildings in Celebration have to be consistently themed based around what zone they're in and it's in the art deco zone I guess. Kinda neat I suppose?? if you had stayed you would have seen a white surprise!

While Celebration is/was a disaster for the mouse who eventually did dump it; they loved the idea and never let it go. Behold, the new "celebration": https://www.disneygoldenoak.com/home-availability/list/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iOqNnq4780 The nightmare continues for the low low cost of several million dollars to always be in the Disney hellscape bubble!

My favorite thing about the new one is that while Celebration was on the very edge of Disney land, the new one is like right in the middle, meaning it's close enough to the actual Disney parks to have to put up with hearing the fireworks every single night.

Unless posted:y’know how our brains do a poor job understanding the difference between orders of magnitude I just thought they’d have country estates, go big game hunting and work on oil paintings in their leisure time not be Disney Adults and move to a central Florida suburb. Shouldn’t they be sponsoring agricultural digs and curating a museum or something? It’s such a low-middlebrow idea of what to do with a lot of money. The aesthetic preferences, like having the plans and drawings of Disney rides in their “beachy” bedroom, this is something dentists do, not people who inherit. Like, wtf is this? https://youtu.be/RvmXF6tzF6Q This is the life you’d choose to live with the money to do anything?

Maybe they should, but money doesn't magically make you cultured. Most rich people are fixated on the same mass-market consumerist pap as us, only they pay ten times as much for the deluxe branding. That's not a knock against them, it's just that there's a kind of a ceiling on how much money can improve your quality of life, and a big part of why having so much is ludicrous.

I imagine the only time orchestras in most cities have a guaranteed sell-out engagement is when they perform the works of John Williams to dweebs

The orchestras in the 3 closest city to me literally only ever do 1: Beethoven 2: Star wars music 3: Bach or Handel in December It's like the "read a second book" of music.

Is this why opera companies have been staging productions like “The Barber of Seville… but set as a 90’s Rom Com!” ? I think there are fun things you can do with production design but I must have seen two staged as Downtown Abby. I know people think of horned helmets and breastplates, and you need their money. The MET has led this trend, their production of Le Fille du Regiment set in WW1 was breathtaking, Spanish Civil War Carmen was interesting, but is this why? I’ve heard this is a problem on Broadway too where “… The Musical!” slop for tourists and ho hum revivals are running forever and hardly anything new gets 100 shows, but I know less about it. Toronto is seemingly chained to Come From Away now because boomers love the Newie Minstrel Show about 9/11.
