For two days and two nights, I will step aboard an immersive galactic starcruiser experience and live MY star wars story.References and clip sources: https:/...
At least she acknowledges the workers, etc at the end and lays it at the feet of the corporate arm, but yeah I was waiting for the turn and it never came.
I don't think capitalism is a good explanation for what went wrong here. She's constantly comparing it to better products, mostly by the same company, all produced under capitalism. Whatever catastrophic mismanagement caused this will still be available under most flavors of communism.
Yes, but those better products were produced earlier, and Disney needs to see constant growth due to capitalism. The last 20-40 minutes make this clear. They've started nickel-and-diming for everything in the parks (inc fast pass etc), started designing to have longer lines because those turn out to be more profitable, etc. The same is true for her example of the hotel (and Galaxy's Edge) compared to older attractions/parks: the "new and cool immersive features" are less interesting and cheaper to implement than a free cell-phone ad campaign tie-in from 2006.
Kinda wild how she just glosses over the emergency exit "panic rooms" that require a staff member to unlock the "exit" side! So if there was a fire, guests would just have to hope that the door was fire and smoke proof, and that staff would let them out of their literal metal cage in a timely manner. That seems absolutely wild, I can't imagine how it was legal. (Well, I guess it is Florida)
Disney employees are highly trained and only receive the highest of minimum wage, so they will happily die to save tourists trapped in a fake spaceship.
She does basically say that in the event of a fire she expects everyone would just die, but yeah she's a disney adult enabled to do whatever she wants thanks to fan funding so I guess "imminent risk of death" is not a deal breaker.
Not a brit but they had that show on the air where I live.
I didn't watch it but the occasional glimpse of it while flicking through channels made me very confused. Who approved it? It's a baffling concept for a TV show
TL;DW: It was a complete catastrophe which unsurprisingly lead to its abrupt shut down. The promise for the hotel was a two day event of "interactive storytelling" and escape-room-esque activities in a luxury environment; instead, the interactivity never seemed to work, the activities were boring even to children (when they were functional), and a tiny room with bunk beds certainly didn't justify the $6,000+ price tag.
the failure of the "interactive storytelling" accommodation experience doesn't bode well for the "Storyliving" Disney planned community projects. which, if you think the star wars hotel thing was a fucked concept chasing Disney Adult weirdos, strap in.
imagine a Celebration-style Disney-managed Home Owner's Association run by Disney, but with the magic of make believe. imagine the Star Wars Hotel, but with the lyrics from Hotel California scratching at your mind because you can check out anytime, but you can never leave.
The vibe I get from this monstrosity of a hotel is that Disney tried to open a Star Wars Westworld proof of concept of sorts, except instead of building human passing robots and sentient AI to torture, they are populating the place with real people working as actors, endlessly micromanaged for a shit wage.
lol
lmao
edit: $6000 for a two person room
People fly first class flights for 8-10k
Or... do they? I think they mostly fly 100 times beforehand and use their points
People also fly first class because their company is paying for it.
What a weird phenomenon
A second commercial has hit the towers
I could pay a plumber/electrician to finally install an electric water heater and get the plumbing done correctly the first time for $6000.

Jenny Nicholson say "Capitalism" challenge: failed
It's still a decent video, if only to see just how badly Disney flubbed every aspect of this.
She's a Disney adult who gets paid as much as a doctor to go to theme parks.

All the exists are locked so the workforce don't flee the compound.
I told my wife when she showed this to me that I’m glad long form YouTube content is still going.
I watched münecat’s new 3.333 hour video essay this weekend: I Debunked Evolutionary Psychology
I am physically cringing
I am now two minutes in and have subscribed
Edit: Do any brits have input on the genitalia dating show? wtf?
Not a brit but they had that show on the air where I live.

They're both great.
I clicked the thumbnail started watching and once she got to 1. I tapped to see how long it was.
Just absolutely amazing that she has put out content like this.
Love it.
Holy shit new jenny nicholson dropped
4hours omfg that is an entire season of anime in length.
If you watch it at 2x speed it's only half a season of anime in length!
Jenny speaks fast enough (relatively) that it's not like mercouris where I can comfortably follow at 2x speed lol
Time to train those hearing muscles! Also idk I can listen to just about anything at 2x unless someone has a heavy accent.
tl;dw - Could I get a summary?
Or I'll have to wait for The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel [fan edit]. The original is 4:05:38 which is a wee bit too long for me.

This video is long meaning I now despise the person who made it. How dare they FORCE me to watch a long video!
But how can I make money from ads with text you can simply read
I know how DARE they not write an article that I wouldn't read either cuz I don't care about this subject!
This was rather amusing for a total trainwreck. Nicholson's still got it.
