Especially because epcot already has one.

With a Strawberry Hill ceiling?? unexpected

Absolutely, I feel the last 2 scenes of the last Spaceship Earth reno actually hit this mark pretty well: The 70s mainframe room is an amped up version of what I'd actually expect it to be, while the garage hacker is the realistic but also romanticized version of that trope.

No I appreciate it - it's just an interesting design decision. Like, the 80s I remember was not whizbang nintendo neon futurism like is popular today, it was shaggy rust carpet and yellow wallpaper and ugly bathroom fixtures.
So which do you decide? In Ramsay's thing, they did neither I guess

I gotta ask though, is that a 60s pub, or is it what we think of the 60s being? Just like pop culture thinks the 20s was all flapper dresses and gatsby or the 80s was all vaporwave neon.

I'd imagine a 60s brit pub being grimy dark wood, smoky, and filled with war vets talking about the gerries

I feel great about myself when I see something like this. Apparently I don't need to beat myself up over the bad parts of my modeling if THIS is paid work

This rendering is completely ruining my morning. I feel like that SNL sketch with Ryan Gosling and Papyrus

But they have posters from 1960s bands!
Yeah it seems to be more of the television-not-theme that Disney is all about these days, putting a recognizable character on the wall instead of actually theming it to that era.

Was just looking at this perfect combination of Content Slop + AI Slop.
The Disney Parks YouTube account is such a disaster.

The long lost Universe of Energy atmosphere loop has finally been released! I implore you to give it a listen.

Great work from Josh at E82.

Can you imagine creating actual architecture instead of bland movie references?

I have huge issues with mid century modernism but this is cool

But like... anything WSS did ok In The Heights does better. It has clearly been superseded.

I worship Sondheim but it's just unnecessary, and there are other 50s NYCsicals that are way more fun.

Romeo and Juliet is very bad.
...And Juliet is very bad.
West Side Story isn't very good.

Maybe we can just forget that whole genre, please?
