    Cruella | Disney | May 28 2021 | Disney+ premiere access hybrid release

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted

    Liked this a lot more than I thought I would.  In fact liked it enough I might see it again.  Emma and Emma are great.

     

    As a prequel to a classic I think they did a great job of being a Cruella origin story without pissing off fans of the original... an issue  maleficent had.

     

    I enjoyed the tiebacks to the classic characters/events although I know some people think stuff like that is hokey.

     

    @dudalb ... it's ridiculous to try to judge box office these days to pre-pandemic movies.  Disney will be happen to break even in theaters which they should and the gravy is in the D+ premium and new subscribers.

    Probably not helping anyway, but just in case its a small little detail of interest:

    for around 27h only reaction was ‚server not found‘... never any other message or whatever. Tried it e.g. the last hour rather often, first time - I guess 10 minutes back - that I got in.

     

    I had to re-login between a few likes and this post.

     

    Twitter and/or facebook accounts... of BOT: 

    maybe use those for saying technical problems... ? I thought for a time my ... let’s call it temperamental router is the culprit (we need a new one - since months).

    Saw questions about ~ if others too.... bla bla problems here at reddit.

     

     

     

     

    The technical issues were my server and not your router... at least in this case.

    For those still getting the security warning on some browsers.  It's safe to go to 'Advanced' and continue on to the forums.  The error is because Chrome thinks it should be https and it isn't always.  The forums never access anything on your computer and do not request any sensitive information.

    I'm still getting random security certificate errors trying to access the site, completely independent of browser and machine.  Comes and goes seemingly at random.

     

    Is there some sort of propagation of an updated DNS going or something?

     

    I don't know if this is just me or not, but it does appear that there's very little traffic on the board right now and I'm wondering if this isn't an isolated thing.

     

    Gonna flag some of the Staff, if only so they can pass the word along to the technical minded folks on Staff.

     

    @DeeCee @Water Bottle @grim22 @Cap @Eric Karga

    Yeah... my server crashed and seems to have corrupted itself.  I have been working the last couple days to get everything back up and that has resulted in a couple of DNS changes that are having trouble fully propagating.

     

    Right now I can only see the forum on certain computers.

     

    Shawn is making a change today to direct forums.boxofficetheory.com straight here from GoDaddy and bypass my server completely which should be much more reliable.

    After 6 or so years I've decided to step down from my Admin role on the forums.  

     

    In 2020 I have found it hard to be on the forums enough to do a proper job of moderating and after much deliberation I decided it would be better if I stepped down.

     

    I'd like to personally and publicly thank @Shawn for the opportunities he has provided me.   As someone who was not an active forum poster and pretty quiet in general it was a honor to be asked to join the staff.

     

    @Water Bottle you have always been supportive, especially when it came to my Derby requests and @Plain Old Tele - I modeled my moderation style after you.  The  forums lost a great resource when you stepped down from the staff.

     

    I won't attempt to mention all the members and staff that I've enjoyed interacting with over the years.  It's been great.  I just hope that some of the old-timers will return to posting more often.

     

    I do want to mention that the one thing I learned about moderating here is how important different views are in a social setting such as the BOT forums.   I hope the forums continue to contain a diverse and tolerant attitude towards both movies and life in general. 

     

    I'll still be around as much as I can so this is not goodbye and the Derby will continue to operate with @ChipDerby's help.

    I haven't really been watching anything but I have read more books this month than I did in the entirety of last year.

    For some reason I haven't had the concentration to watch a lot of movies even though I just signed up for HBO.

     

    Instead I've been doing a Dr Who rewatch.
