Emperor (2012)

At the conclusion of World War 2, Tommy Lee Jones/General MacArthur becomes the Supreme Commander of occupational military forces in Japan. Tommy Lee Jones/General MacArthur tasks Matthew Fox/General Fellers to investigate if Emperor Hirohito should be charged with war crimes or not. In the meantime, Matthew Fox/General Fellers had a love interest, Aya that perished during the war.

It is divided 50/50 as a political and love film. I liked how from beginning to end everything in the film had an old, 1940's look to it

Watched this new Paul Giamatti Christmas flick last night and enjoyed it very much
He plays a strict old curmudgeon of a teacher at a New England boarding school in 1970 that gets stuck with a couple unlikely cohorts as they go on one of the most memorable Christmas adventures of their lives
Its directed by the same guy that made Sideways which is Giamatti's best work ever and he gets another great performance out of him here
Its an indy character piece full of dry humor and broken people trying to rebuild themselves so its not gonna be for everyone but if youre in the mood for a rich, beautiful journey of emotion over the holidays(Ole Pete even misted up at one particularly sad moment) then you may wanna give this one a shot
6.2 Thumbs Up Outta 7

Few days ago I was pwning some noob in the War Room and I made this post right here

Literally none of this changes the fact that you were wrong in your assessment, for the record


Onward came out 6 days before the world shut down so we cant really blame that on them

Soul, Turning Red and Luca were dumped to streaming because Bob Chapek was trying to pump up Disney Plus and he chose to do it by destroying Pixar, so thats not really their fault either

Lightyear was garbage and they deserve all the heat they get for that one

By the way, Soul was a beautiful film and its a shame it didnt get the full big time major movie roll out that it deserved

Turning Red was really good too

Both of those movies had a good shot at being hits if they wouldve got handled correctly, its a shame they werent

Now its just been announced that Soul, Turning Red and Luca are getting full theatrical releases next year
Looks like even Hollywood has heard about the hottest young business mind in the game and are now turning to me for ideas
Dont worry Bob, I'll have dat House Of Mouse turned around in 6 months!

One of my all time favorite non rasslin books is Disney War, about Michael Eisners 20 year run at the top of Disney
Its such an amazingly detailed behind the scenes look at one of the most successful film studios of all time and how it almost went completely outta business through a series of terrible blunders in the 80's and 90's, while also creating some of the most beautiful and successful films of all time
So many surprising twists and turns in this story, really great read for anyone that loves dem some deep dive nuts and bolts

My favorite part is how they coulda had Pixar for a couple million bucks but passed and then later paid billions for it

• Roy E. Disney and Stanley Gold's removal of Disney CEO Ron W. Miller in 1984.
• Stan Kinsey's clash with Jeffrey Katzenberg over creating films using computer animation.
• The struggle to get Who Framed Roger Rabbit made in time and on budget despite the ambitions of Robert Zemeckis and Richard Williams to make the film bigger and bolder.
• Eisner's tension with Frank Wells before Wells's death.
• Eisner's friendship-turned-rivalry with Jeffrey Katzenberg.
• Eisner's tension with Michael Ovitz during Ovitz's short-lived presidency.
• The purchase of the ABC Family channel and content, and the fallout resulting from Disney's inability to revive it.
• Eisner attempting to shut down the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
• Roy E. Disney's abrupt resignation on November 30, 2003.
• The Comcast hostile takeover attempt.
• Hilary Duff's decision to quit Disney Channel because of low salary.
• Pixar's decision not to renew its relationship with Disney.
• Financing of the 2004 documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11.
• The 2004 shareholders' meeting that led to Eisner's resignation as chairman

That sounds awesome. It’s really wild to think about how they weren’t that big of a company in our lifetime and now they damn near run the world!
