I like (and think it is smart) that they have it available at all of the resorts on the skyliner - makes them feel more "special" and like in a group of resorts like the "monorail" resorts

I wasn't tempted until I saw the SW Christmas ornament with the Porgs on it. Resisting....for now.

I'll be shopping the second we walk into Pop.

not surprised, I think it made sense for both sides .... interested to see what the final terms are between the two sides


and here is official statement from Sony ... includes allowing Spiderman to appear in other future Marvel films as well:

Very cool. Was interesting it got so public. just probably all about the money and negotiating tactics .. Just how cable providers pull certain channels from their services to get a better deal.

I'm glad Sony and Disney worked this out. I'd be surprised if his role in the MCU isn't limited by this picture going forward. I know they have more rights, but it seems like this was a good warning shot from Sony. Yes it behooves both companies to do one more to follow up and close up the strings that were left in Far From Home, but Disney has plenty of characters they own to use going forward. I expect Spiderman will be pulled back from the MCU due to being too busy being a Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman for a while so Sony can make a mess of whatever they are planning with Venom and Spidey's traditional nemeses (yes I had to look up the plural)...

I just tape a thousand dollar bill to my forehead. My wife thinks it's a lot more attractive. I just find it makes the point more succinctly.

Not to say Sony is incompetent - but this makes me VERY happy.

Can't wait to see how much they discount these at the outlet. I can't imagine anyone willing to pay $600 for.... that.... I would consider wearing them if someone paid ME that much though. They are just not attractive.

"Cool story, bro" moment incoming:

This isn't news, but I just wanted to post something positive and give a thanks to rteetz. On our trip this summer the one souvenir I bought was a mug (at full price--very uncharacteristic of me).

I first spotted it in a post here from Ryan some months back, and I was determined to check it out. I found it in the Splash gift shop and bought it on our last night. It has turned into probably my favorite souvenir I've ever bought as an adult. I have an irrational affinity for this thing.



Pardon the interruption and thanks for your indulgence.

I want to say these ears and their price scream "out of touch"... but maybe I'm wrong...

Yep, the 3rd Spidey film was already planned and pitched to the creative teams. But the unnamed future MCU film should be an easy way for Disney to remove Spidey in a planned fashion if they need to.
