Disney's a megacorp. Ergo they suck.

Then again, so is Lucasfilm.

I'll never forget the first star wars film and the first raiders film -- both in old fashioned huge-screen theaters with fantastic sound systems.

But I have to say that the Star War franchise hasn't weathered the passage of time particularly well. And it isn't all JarJar's fault.

It's probably because the story, even for an addict to space opera like me, is pretty cartoonish and schlocky. And now that Star War's tech whizbang stuff is old hat, far outdone by later-comers, well, it's like a bad b-movie from the fifties.

Another decade and it'll be relegated to shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

In the past 30 years there have been Disney flicks that I was more than a little disappointed with. I won't say they ruined them. just expected a little more.

As far as the Pirates, I liked the first one but they kept slipping after that. I don't like "unfinished" movies and it seems like all the rest of them were.

I am glad Lucas will write the stories that will surely help.

I did like the Avengers series. Just re-watched them on Netflix a few weeks ago.

For 41 years, the majority of my time and money has been put into the company. As I start a new chapter in my life, it is gratifying that I have the opportunity to devote more time and resources to philanthropy.

Michael Eisner?

The first Pirates is one of the most magical films I saw in a long time. Freaking LOVED that movie.

Avengers wasn't bad (Avengers was a Disney produced movie for those who didn't know). Myself, I'm burned out on comic book flicks (sorry Formo, my wife's the comic book geek, I'm not) and I wasn't looking forward to it but she dragged me to the film and I loved it. I thought the Hulk stole the show. He had some scenes where I was practically rolling out of my chair laughing so hard.

And how could I forget Narnia? The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was fantastic. The others didn't do as well for me, but the Lion was splendid.

So yeah, Disney puts out duds but also puts out some pretty freaking good stuff. Pixar was glad to be bought by Disney because Disney took over the distribution and let Pixar do what Pixar did best - put out enjoyable films.

Of course, being the perv that I am, I had a crush on Anna Popplewell.
