It's time to start investigating what is happening with the resort set aside for military members and their families at Walt Disney World Resort. As you may recall, we were unhappy on the WDW Pro Channel that the pedestrian walkway was eliminated so that military members could no longer walk to the Polynesian and take a monorail or bus to their ...

Today I want to give you an early preview of something likely to make waves next week in terms of news coverage. Master of the TDS has been uncovering bot activity directed by entertainment companies for the past six months, only going public with his findings in the last few weeks. One of the biggest stories you cou...

You might also say it's an interesting day for folks like Ike Perlmutter and Elon Musk as well. As opposed to the Bob Iger conference discussion where no questions were allowed from the audience, Peltz is going fully transparent with a Q&A that could be very broad in scope and...

What you may not have noticed is that we purposefully attempted to prove a point in the video. All of our "photos" that panned of strikes, workers in Hollywood and production sets... they were all made by AI. Each image to...

He's a really cool fellow -- not only does he work in music, but he has fantastic experiences as an employee of the federal government designing trails for national parks. Hopefully we'll have him on the channel really soon to talk ...

In an age where the lines between entertainment and the real world increasingly blur, the call for a return to the core essence of storytelling has never been louder or more critical. It's particularly true in an election year where the United States (and the western world) is more divided than in the past century. Aficionados of good fiction al...
2024-03-06 00:28:48 +0000 UTC View PostLate last night I received opinion and analysis from an industry executive with about five decades of experience at the highest levels of Hollywood. I thought I would share the unedited (though identity protected) statement sent my way, with permission.

There is so much new stuff inside the Trian Group white paper refuting Disney is bonkers. We're currently going through the analysis (which we thinks points to Trian having followed our channels and information)... but suffice to say there is so much to discuss that we d...

Good evening / morning to everyone out there!
I feel it's important to clarify why I am not predicting that Dune Part Two will land near the billion or even $900m mark. Rather, I believe the movie will hit around $720m - $800m for its total box office haul. The reason is that Dune Part Two seems to have a particular niche audience demand o...

Here's a puzzle for all our sleuths on the Patreon today. I generated the painting you see above using artificial intelligence. Can you spot the three obvious signs that AI was confused by reality and messed up the painting?
2024-03-01 16:15:50 +0000 UTC View PostWe've been covering the issue of entertainment corporations seemingly using bots to manipulate Elon Musk's blue checkmark identity validation system on X. The purpose appears to be to break the system and impact what is visible and what is not. Topics trend that otherwise would not. Voices are quelled as they face a mob of synthetic ragers. And ...

CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, is either not a fan of his own company or perhaps he's just not buying green bananas any longer. Whatever is going on, Iger has offloaded more than 90% of his TWDC stock over the last two years -- either via getting rid of stock in hand or stock promised to him via his contract.
It's a bizarre thin...

After Jim Cramer declared his support for Nelson Peltz in the proxy fight for Disney's Board of Directors, it was always going to get very ugly. Now Disney is out swinging. Like a presidential campaign in late October, the Mouse House is fighting mad and ready to sling some mud. Once Peltz hit the entire board and the legacy of Bob Iger with cla...

Apologies for having to use the New York Times, but there is a bit of stuff that you won't find anywhere else about what Sean Bailey was planning... and why Bob Iger had seen enough.

And in doing so, I have to give huge credit to Vash Sky for helping solve what looks to be a real issue for Disney later this year.

With immediate effect, Sean Bailey, the luminary force behind Walt Disney's metamorphosis of their animation vault into a colossal live-action fi...
The demographics behind those who create content for entertainment have shifted such that it's no surprise the flavor of Hollywood is totally different. The writers room has never been so drastically changed in such a short period of time. Whether for better or worse, women have gone from 35% of the writing force in Hollywood to 63% in less-than...

Entertainment is not liberated from politics in an election year and that's exactly what we're seeing as the FCC attempts (again) to regulate DEI issues via the government. This is about swing number three or four on this with prior efforts all tossed out by courts. Now it seems the attempt is going to be based on "information gathering only" co...
