Well, it sounds like I'm not too happy with how the meeting went. I'm glad that they want to bring the company back to it's glory, but I wish they'd go about it differently. You know, like restore the research and developement department, put money into all the theme parks (with good ideas, again-- r&d), and focus on quality films and television shows, as opposed to generic ones.
