Hope you are feeling a little better, Alexandru. Those augmentin take a couple of days to kick in. I went to see Moana 2, as well, with my 6 and almost 5 year old kids, and they enjoyyit. I didn’t. For the reasons you outlined, but the popcorn and chocolates and what have you, kept me sitting in my seat. I don’t think I could have sat there without the treats, I was that underwhelmed by the show itself.
Not a patch on the first one, same as Inside Out 2. Disney are in big trouble man.
So, I’m looking forward to your next podcasts, and essays, and for Gods sake man, finish that novel!! Take care and God bless you and your family.
I’m no Disney hater myself, but as you say, it was a letdown. An unexpected one too, as I’ve watched the first one more than several times with the young ones. I can’t see that happening with the latest offering. The songs, the storyline, the characters that brought nothing to the table of note, the ending, for crying out loud, all combined to make for a gaudy coloured , noisy mess. In my opinion. The popcorn was really nice on the day is about the best thing I can come up with to sun up the day. The kids haven’t mentioned it since!
Those holiday cruds can be awful, sending you on your back and debilitating you to the point you can't reasonably function. Happy to hear you're coming through the other side of it.
Ah, but we've the truly important point to talk about: the uncanny way in which Boomer bursting grocery stores always seem to unlock a man's unyielding rage. It's a feeling with which I'm intimately familiar, given I worked at such a store for seven years through my twenties. Main difference is instead of an Old Lion it was a shop called Sprouts. (Which was owned by the brother of a competitor shop called Henry's that sold all the same stuff, as both had a falling out as they tried following in the footsteps of their dad who opened Boney's which became the locations for both of these stores until they all merged into the Sprouts brand at some random point in the middle of my time working there.)
I saw an old lady drive through our front wall when I worked there. She almost pasted one of the bag girls when she did it, too. Then you get the ones that are half deaf who blast their music louder than the hood kids that live a couple blooks away from the store I worked in, not to mention the old hippies for whom soap and deodorant are tools the Man uses to keep them down or something? You could always tell the difference between the hippies and the homeless there because the homeless were much more humble. Oh, and let's not forget every flavor of Karen under the sun.
Inside Out 2 was a pleasant enough rehash of the first movie that had no reason to exist. Moana 2 sounds similar. Glad you’re on the mend and had a nice Thanksgiving.
Get well soon! I'm currently going through the podcast episodes that I've missed in my long absence and am pleased to say that it's got increasingly better! :D

Thanks man. I wanted to like it myself because I’m not a Disney hater by any means, it just disappointed.

Yeah, it sucked.
God Bless you man, Sprouts is like Trader Joes douchiness x1000.
