Boxman posted:I proposed at Magic Kingdom, at the end of the first night of our trip. I stashed the ring in my pocket when we headed out for the parks, then spent the day terrified of losing it. You can see in all the on-ride photos from that day that I have one hand in my pocket with a death grip on the ring box. Heh. So a few years ago, I proposed to my wife in the middle of a Christmas party we were hosting (just having a bunch of friends over to watch Christmas movies and TV episodes). I figured it was going to be the most obvious thing because she knew it was on the horizon, but other than ITSHAPPENING.gif going on in her head the moment I opened my mouth, it was a total surprise. We had an April DW trip planned and she was certain that was when I was going to go for it. She was super relieved because the whole thing would have been so stressful and distracting to me for multiple reasons and by the time I would have asked the question, we'd probably be tired, sweaty messes. To this day, she will still randomly just say, "God, I'm glad you didn't propose at Disney." Also, two funny stories from the proposal: 1) Only two friends, a married couple, were in on it. One to play our song when I got down to one knee and the other to take pictures on her phone. They were tense the whole day because of it and my now-wife spent the day thinking they were having a huge fight and were trying to hide it from everyone. 2) One friend was in the bathroom during the entire proposal. He came out minutes later, casually wondering why everyone was cheering. A year or so later, when he announced his own engagement on Facebook, me and my wife raced over who could comment, "Sorry, I was in the bathroom. What I miss?" first.

chitoryu12 posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUwIcOBMdSc I highly recommend checking out Themed Alternative. It's Kevin from Defunctland, Disney Dan and Nate Begle (one of the guys currently playing Crow on MST3K) doing off-the-cuff riffs on all the old Disney park TV specials. Unfortunately, they're abridged to just 15 minutes or so. The best one is probably the Living Seas, which is full of Disney trying to fill up time with anything water-related they can think of. This leads to a line I won't spoil that is so out of nowhere that it has all three guys dying of laughter. Also, one of the specials straight-up had Mickey shoot a dude.

Grundulum posted:That was amazing. I was expecting a 10-15 minute video, but I watched the entire thing and enjoyed every minute. Holy balls. Is every Defunctland video like that? To add to what others have mentioned, the early days, while very informative and good quality (albeit with a forgotten gimmick of making a virtual theme park of defunct attractions), were relatively simple due to going for the easy targets. Alien Encounter, Kongfrontation, Jaws, etc. Eventually, the go-to defunct rides and parks started to dry up and he's gotten more creative with his videos. Most of season 3 is him discussing parks and events that directly shaped Walt Disney himself, which gets fascinating, while his last episode prior to Fastpass was a bizarre video on the Handwich. He has a second series called Defunct TV, which is also great, focusing on cancelled kid shows. His last big project is his multi-part series on the life and career of Jim Henson, which I highly recommend. Gavok fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Nov 23, 2021 |

The way he presents his information is also quite engaging. I regularly find myself entranced by the Defunctland TV episodes even though my exposure to these shows of the past are minimal to none. Agreed. Virtually everything from Defunct TV is from outside my time except Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, but they all do a great job sucking me in. Probably my favorite being the Adventures in Wonderland episode, with its insane tangent of the unaired OJ Simpson episode that somehow got its own book adaptation. The series on Jim Henson's career is fantastic too.

For me, half the fun of RnR is keeping an eye on Ken Marino (post-The State and pre-everything else) just hanging out and quietly reacting in the background during the recording studio bit.

It's apparently about the Disney Channel Theme, haven't watched it yet but I'm sure it's quite the thing. It's also 90 minutes long. It's very good. It's basically Kevin all Dr. Claw'd out, trying to figure out the mystery of who wrote the Disney Channel jingle that they've been using since 2002. It gets pretty sweet and emotional at the end.

Zikan posted:The preexisting Marvel deal that Universal has at Islands of Adventure probably complicates the addition on any large Marvel expansion. Note that Guardians is a Marvel property that explicitly is not involved in any of Islands of Adventure attractions unlike Spider Man, Hulk, quite a few X-Men etc. I want to see a boardroom meeting where somebody explains to Disney bigwigs what obscure Marvel properties they could potentially turn into TV shows and movies while being able to sidestep the Universal contract. "So Randall Park's character from the second Ant-Man movie and WandaVision hangs out with a talking gorilla, a 1950s robot and a siren who thinks she's the goddess Venus..."

Silly Burrito posted:They should do a Miles Morales ride. He didn’t even exist in the 90s. Yeah, but he's still roped in with the Spider-Man characters. I'd be interested in seeing a list of characters who sidestep the Universal deal. Like, the Inhumans appear in a big mural at Superhero Island, so if their show hadn't poo poo the bed and they somehow became a viable franchise, would they be off-limits to Disney in Orlando? I referenced the Agents of Atlas, but they originally came from a comic called What If the Avengers Had Formed in the 1950's?, so would that technically put them under the Avengers umbrella? It can't be overstated how much Disney lucked out with Guardians of the Galaxy being such a big deal. Nobody cared about the original version of the team and the beloved version of the team came to exist long after the Universal deal happened. The answer here is that Marvel needs to go back to using Gravity in their stories so he can get his own movie and then get a ride at Disney World. Really, they never should have stopped using Gravity. He was fun. I miss him.

CapnAndy posted:The one thing that bugged me about what we saw in Hawkeye was that two apparently random civilians open the song, monopolize the first half, and keep pulling focus even after Steve appears — he’s a supporting character in his own play. Do they have some central plot role or are they really just randos who show up to hijack the pre-intermission number? The WWII stuff has the "Star-Spangled Man" dancing propaganda ladies doing singing narration. When Cap wakes up in the present, they're SHIELD agents. When it goes over his adventure as an Avenger, it's those random civilians taking over the role just for that song. Then they extend the song for another half a minute just to gloss over Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron, and Infinity War.
