I assume if the rebels win they'll order in space pizza to celebrate or something. ...not sure we've ever seen the rebels cooking. I guess they usually mostly subsist off space gruel or something.

The Jenny video is great for me because I make games and I think my dream job would be to make something fun and engaging for a themed boutique hotel, but it's obvious the Imagineers got told "gently caress no" or "make it cheaper" for every single pitch and prototype and in the face of that I probably would have quit in two weeks.

But, like, Disney wanted to make money and they also in some areas threw money at it. Like the vid says it's pretty wildly hubristic to cut the deepest corners on the game and interactivity side of things. In that case, why did they even bother?

My guess is it speaks to a lack of trust. There was no on of the creative side that the execs could look to and say "Okay this guy is saying we need to make this a little better, maybe we should listen." Maybe such a person can't even exist anymore in today's climate. But I'm 100% positive that the execs that did that last visit and then shut it down learned all the wrong lessons

I bet that 90% of that conversation consisted of "you know we'll get a huge tax refund if we can write this off as a loss"

That was the lesson learned

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
you make a reservation at the david lynch hotel, but find it's not on any map. you can't even remember what city it was supposed to be in. you give up in frustration, then wake up the day of your reservation already inside of it with a nosebleed. whenever you try to go outside or even get a good look through the windows you get horrible cluster headaches, and everybody keeps calling you "Byron."
except for the girl with the yellow eyes. she doesn't say anything. she just gives you a look that's at once pitying and helpless, like you're a mouse who's already walked into the glue trap

Stephen King or someone should just sign off on a Shining-themed hotel, a smaller-scale recreation of the Overlook, or something.

Maybe you go into your room and find a hot naked lady, maybe it's a ghoulish old lady, maybe it's just your family that are constantly reminding you of your weaknesses, failures, and mistakes that... that you just won't ever let me forget, will ya, Wendy?! I made ONE mistake, ONE!

I think the most baffling decision to me was the fire shame closets for a single-floor hotel. If it was built in a real state, I'd question how they got that approved but even then, it seems bad from a liability perspective to let your rich people burn up because you're too cheap to build a fire escape egress hallway on the outside..

That and the tiny rooms actually makes me wonder if the star cruiser started out as an actual themed cruise line and was managed into what it became.

I don’t think that it’s single story. It’s got an elevator or a turbolift or whatever and Jenny mentioned that it was nice to be on the first floor with most of the common areas.

For the hotel I think there were a lot of simultaneous issues but a big one is, frankly, the sort of person who pays the 45 grand initiation fee and membership dues to eat at the secret Disney resort restaurant didn't want that product and from a cost perspective it was probably leaving significant money on the table to give them activities instead of letting their degenerate lack of awareness of the value of money lead them to buy gold plated minnie mouse hina matsuri for every family member.

I thought he was socially awkward and that the interspersed film noir movie clips were an odd plot device for a series shot in the modern day but did not see the twist coming at all. I thought the super spy/secret society bit fit well enough although it was hinted at by the movie producer guy that was a plot to a movie. Then he deflected a bullet with his cufflink and I said, “huh”? Then the ending happened and I had trouble processing what I was seeing. Then I started booing and yelling, “OH gently caress YOU”. Then I posted about it.

Wasn't he already resurrected? It's implied he was originally the raider that Kara gutted and turned into her own personal fighter craft after crashing into the dust moon.

i didn't pick up on that at all. great work. i think in the episode 'scar' the resurrection ship nearby was destroyed so he was killed for good in that one

I keep thinking about all the poo poo about the Star Wars hotel and saying “ha my favorite part is…”

This time my favorite part is how all the customer service channels tell you to go gently caress yourself when they mess up your merch delivery. Unless you have a big enough twitter follower count and bitch about it on twitter. At which point they seek YOU out and beg forgiveness and shower you in gifts.
