  1. At least the masks are only indoors (and has a good chance of staying only indoors). Wearing them all day every day at the parks was a pain but indoors I can handle.
  2. That just SCREAMS! "meh"...
  3. I'm still on the fence with FP, I will probably buy one or two during the course of the year for a ride I really want on but don't want to wait if they go with the paid per ride option like Paris has. The Virtual Queue being rolled out is what I'm waiting on to see how it works. (which I've mentioned before). Other good news - the Beauty and Beast show will be back for our September trip, my wife loves that one.
  4. Heck no. Crowds galore and no fastpass yet. I will be there early September, mid-November, and January since those are slow times. Live in FL and have yearly pass so I go there a good bit but avoid busy times.
  5. D9 was good. Elysium forgettable (I mean, I've forgotten most of it besides it takes place partly in a spaceship with no roof) and Chappie, that was the where the "protagonists" were worse than those in Fury. (I don't know of a worse insult).
  6. That beam up picture reminds me of something I just saw on Facebook. "hold up on that beam up Scotty, I'm taking a shi..."
  7. Excellent English version of the song. Thanks for posting it. It does a good job of making the lyrics flow with the music while still keeping the gist of the original. I've heard a couple other versions of the song in English and the singers had to do vocal gymnastics to match up with the music. The only problem is a couple of spots the wording is a little strained but that is inevitable when trying to match lyrics to music.
  8. They got a ride they need to cross promote.
  9. If this comes out in Imax my wife and I are making it our first movie out since 2019. Anything not in Imax we wait for the home release anyway - the theater experience at anything but Imax isn't worth it.
  10. Being a morning person I like the early hours for hotel guests, sleeping late for me means waking up at 7. I don't normally stay till closing time anyway. In regards to paid fastpass, I'm not too bothered by that, I may pay for one ride that is really hard to get on (Slinky for instance). The virtual queue part of the deal is the more interesting. I don't mind waiting an hour between rides as long as I don't have to spend the entire hour in a line. So it really depends on how long the physical line is after waiting in the virtual line. Fifteen minutes would be no problem, Thirty is pushing it, forty-five plus and my Disney days may be done.
  11. At worst it will most likely be forgettable. A few stories based in the Star Wars universe is really nothing that can make or break the franchise - unless perhaps they are all knockouts, which is doubtful. I just hope one or two are excellent and the rest can be OK.
  12. Milo and Otis did well in the states too. It was also a heck of a lot less expensive to film then Clifford must be so did not have to make as much to be a hit. Though if the box office take of 136 is correct that is a heck of a lot of money for any film.
  13. There is quite a bit of action in the later sequels as well. This looks to be all prequel material though and still too much action for a faithful adaptation of any of the books. Then again maybe the trailers are hyping the action when the show itself will not have nearly so much.
  14. Looks cute but if I had to guess it is going to bomb.
  15. Nostalgia usually only lasts a year or so before it fades away so I would say no.
  16. Yup. All I could think was "again?"
  17. I just tried Walkabout the first time last night. The physics are excellent and it has a great presentation. The other golf game I have (Cloudlands 2 on PC) the physics are not quite as good but the ability to make your own courses is a real plus.
  18. It made me sick watching it and it was at best uninspired. It was pretty faithful to the source material - and SR was not about racing (that was a sideline), it was about a spy who thought he was a racer OR a Monkey and Kid hiding out in car trunks - take your pick.
  19. Agree on Vader. I have all three chapters (free with headset when I purchased) but I've only played the first one so far. I started like you did, mainly for exercise or at leas to stand instead of sitting at the PC, and just recently started using it more for fun as well. The headset is still too heavy and Field of View is still too small for being a monitor replacement for the PC - or for more general use. I do plan to start using it more for virtual miniature golf (I have cloudlands on the PC for playing wirelessly and just picked up walkabout mint golf) and FPS games and flight sims. The next Quest is supposed to have a better eyepiece for the Field of View. I'll be looking out for that one. EDIT - and since working from home, using the same Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor I work with, it is nice to get up from the computer and stand a while - even moreso when it is not possible to go outside and walk.
