- I too eagerly awake the BTS articles (one suspects the board didn’t buy Chapek’s line about this quarter being the rock bottom for Plus losses) - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:43

Here's an insincere message for you. -- (link) - The Gossip King Nov 20, 18:54 13
- never should have reupped his deal in the first place -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:07 11
  - They had to do something as a sign to Wall Street, and Iger wasn't interested at the time. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 20, 19:10 10
    - apparently Iger has never really wanted to leave. and now all you’ve done is ensure that the next Chapek will be looking over his shoulder in two yrs -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:16 9
      - From the meta perspective, Iger just positioned Chapek to take the fall for everything pandemic-related. It's a masterstroke. - The Gossip King Nov 20, 19:28 8

        at its core, putting a theme park guy in charge of your whole creative empire, especially at the very moment you’re launching streaming platform - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 20:09
        
        smart people know the pandemic should take the fall for 90% of the pandemic decisions. COVID didn’t make Chapek turn Pixar into a DTV factory - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:31 5
        
        The Disney+ stuff was Iger's plans set in motion by Kevin Mayer. - The Gossip King Nov 20, 19:35 4

        I think Iger has to “do something” just so he can be seen to be “doing something”. I think that involves Kevin Mayer. -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 21:07
        
        and Mayer was shitcanned over two years ago like the day after it launched. everything since has been on Chapek’s watch -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 20, 19:47
        
        It’s perfect scapegoating. Reedy Creek? Chapek. High ticket prices? Chapek. ScarJo? Chapek. Box office? Chapek. -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 19:45
- And in case you doubted whether this was real... -- (link) - The Gossip King Nov 20, 18:55

        "Disney, pay 98 if you can. " -- (link) - Cramer 15mins ago Nov 20, 19:11 4

        Can someone explain pay 98 meaning? -- nm - eag Nov 20, 19:25 1
        
        He's saying BUY! BUY! BUY! -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 20, 19:29

        ah. makes sense -- nm - Remlik Nov 20, 19:05
    - whoa -- nm - prayformojo Nov 20, 18:58
    - That seems really unexpected. Could it have to do with what Pixie's been saying? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 18:58 1
      - (I mean, really unexpected *to me*, not to someone who would know anything about it. I can't judge the unexpectedness to them/you.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 18:58

        It was a thing a few years ago. This was supposed to be above -- nm* - spamlet Nov 20, 19:05
