Disney was good in 1990’s, struggled in the 2000s, then I think was good in most of the 2010’s. Now it’s been bad again lately.
It started I think in 2021 as I have disney live remakes and they aren't that bad at all but they just aren't as good as the animated ones. Onward was a good movie in 2020. The Lion King remake was acceptable but the story and CGI doesn't really set it apart from the animated version.

I was watching old $100,000 Pyramid just now. The contestant on the show had a chance for a new car if she got all seven right in the category in thirty seconds. She got the last one with a small fraction of a second left. :oldthumbsup:

I remember when they started broadcasting Buzzr on tv here I was watching all sorts of old game shows. A lot of them the prize was around $5000 and a few when they didn't win it they added more to the prize next day. How things change with 100,000 and a million and so on up for grabs. I used to watch wheel of fortune but something happened with my reception of the channel and I could no longer record it. I think the station dropped their transmitter power some or a large structure was finished between their tower and here that caused multiplexing that was too much to lock in on the station. I was getting tired of the show anyway as I had been watching it for over 10 years I started watching it again about 10 years after my mom died it was one of her favorite shows.
Game shows are good mental exercises which can help stave off you brain deterioration in older ages.

I went into a bar earlier with my friend, jimmy, who is a horse. The bar man said to him;

"Whats with the long face?"
What did the cowboy tell his kid when he had to choose between a beagle and a chihuahua? ...... he said get a long little doggie.

I am so glad that I decided to enter a local photo contest, but I just hope I actually have a chance at winning a prize.

I’ve only seen a few of the live-action movies. Some were better than others, but none as good as the animated classics.


I’m more annoyed at the sequels, particularly Inside Out 2. Inside Out is a masterpiece. Only a couple of the Pixar sequels have been good.

People want originals, not quick cash-grabs. I know they want easy $$$$, :( but Disney originals are usually hits anyways. I haven't seen them but Moana, Coco, Encanto, etc. were incredibly popular.

I had a pocket radio to listen to at work but I don't get reception :(

So I used it to listen to college football & hockey when I don't get the TV channel. But I think I lost it earlier this year b/c I can't find it.

I haven't seen I/O 2 and sequels vary on how good they are but I agree often the quality of them is nothing but a cash grab disney animated sequels tend to be better than others I think and if you expect let's say a movie that got a 8+ rating on IMDB a sequel would likely be 1-1.5 points lower rated and more suitable for direct to video than paying for a theater appearance. I don't have Encanto yet, I liked moana with a 7.7 rating, Coco was rated higher than I rated it at 8.4 vs my 7.1. I am glad that universal and skydancer and other animated studios are still putting out stuff because we cannot expect disney to make anything that doesn't require the constitution of a sanitary engineer to handle.

The only time I use my portable radios these days is to listen to talk radio outside. I have a small bluetooth speaker that has FM radio built in that I sometimes use. Power outages have me going to an old table radio that uses 4 C cell batteries that are over 20 years old in it that I check every year or so. I have a WD40 can radio I inherited that works decently but sounds hollow and two small headphone radios (no speaker) I bought them both at a thrift store for under $10 each before I got my ipod and then smart phone.

I'm struggling w/ the concept of perfection in heaven / the new earth.
The imperfect can but dream of perfection. Imagine everything good in the world and your life and everything bad and wipe out all the bad and replace it with good. This is a start.

It'll make sense when we get there. Right now it's shrouded in mystery.

My dating life has been mostly dead since the pandemic began. I can blame being busy with two jobs, and the fact that the world is changing (it's - always - changing) for why I'm single, or I can just suck it up and start meeting people again.

Since her own human is currently away, I went over to my neighbor's house to give her dog a treat, and she just seemed so happy to see another human. Aw, so cute!
