I don't care about the people, a lot of them need to go anyhow, but they tend to harm the rest of the company and the innocent people working there when they do.

Not to mention losing in excess of 50% of their stock value over the last five years. In 2020 it was trading in the 200 range, today it's around 83.
they will smoke it, I swear they will. With as many that just go power crazed, Lord of the Flies, with only a drip of success or power, they had to be high, going in the gate. Kathleen is a different story though. She has been seething, for years, awaiting the opportunity to crush what she saw as George's work and replace it with her own. I put the two on the scale, using sales/profit as my balance, and history has clearly stamped her work as the light load. That has to really grind at her after having been given the chance to blow the gates apart with something spectacular and excessively well funded, with a huuuuge audience, but no, she went for personal retribution, as so many do. Like going to an interview with a flame thrower, "This is for burning my bridges before I go."

I still have Disney stock, although I don't really care if it goes to zero at this point. I hope it does.
Every time I see Bill Gates purchase metric butt-tons of Disney stock on the shallow part of the price wave, I am reassured he thinks it will rebound.

Whether it does or not depends on how Disney actually makes money. Right now, all sectors of their business are failing and they are showing no interest in fixing any of it.
but in his very short absence they did WORSE and FASTER
It's been argued that Bob Iger stepped down so somebody else would absorb the flak that year. The writing was on the wall that unpleasant cuts had to be made.
It's like hiring Lee Iacocca because he has a great track record for profit. Then you find out it was Lee that wrote the famous equation for the value of a human life and after finding it to be "not that high" made the decision to release the Pinto WITHOUT fixing the gas tank exploding issue.... that they knew about BEFORE releasing the car. To be clear, fixing the problem before releasing the car would not cause it to be a loss. It would still be a profitable car, just not as much as letting some people die. Sometimes, having an experienced leader doesn't mean a good leader.
Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling made a surprise appearance at Celebration Japan:

My source says that the movie is still not greenlighted, and that Favreau, having won the internal civil war, is playing nice with Shawn Levy so as not to burn any bridges. Who knows? He might actually write something good. But there is no script, and the date is far from solid.
And it doesn't hurt to let Levy and Gosling get some PR from this.

From what I understand, not this time. Favreau is trying to rebuild trust with the fans and rebuild relationships with the players, so he's letting Levy have his moment...it might yet turn into something down the line, but it's not as solid as it sounds.
He stated it was in pre-production. Time will tell if it gets to actual production stage.Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling made a surprise appearance at Celebration Japan:

Wait, wrong movie...
You just had to do it. Now I realize that the Last Starfighter plot hinged entirely on the spin move.... Anakin

Preproduction without a script?
