Either Bob Iger has a health concern (God forbid), or he's been fired as the stock dropped. He will exit his role nine months early with a board obviously eager to see him out.

His poison pill: Dana Walden.

Walden is another woke feminist incompetent and a friend of Kamala Harris.

Disney's stock price rose on news of Iger's defenestration.

The media is of course praising Iger and stating that the new CEO will take over a company with lots of momentum.

Momentum? Downward momentum, you mean?

WDWPro also reminds us that Iger was recently named in the Epstein files, and of course his "news" operation at ABC spiked a report on Jeffrey Epstein.

I'm not sure what this fleeting mention might mean.

They also mention that Disney Cruise Lines used to stop at Little Saint James Island, which has since become better known as Jeffrey Epstein's Pedo Island.

In related media news: film students' ability to focus is now so degraded that they can't sit through two-hour movies.

You already knew that students no longer read full books and instead were assigned news and magazine articles, or book excerpts, to read.

And now? They can't even watch a full movie.

Everyone knows it's hard to get college students to do the reading--remember books? But the attention-span crisis is not limited to the written word. Professors are now finding that they can't even get film students--film students--to sit through movies. "I used to think, If homework is watching a movie, that is the best homework ever," Craig Erpelding, a film professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, told me. "But students will not do it."

I heard similar observations from 20 film-studies professors around the country. They told me that over the past decade, and particularly since the pandemic, students have struggled to pay attention to feature-length films. Malcolm Turvey, the founding director of Tufts University's Film and Media Studies Program, officially bans electronics during film screenings. Enforcing the ban is another matter: About half the class ends up looking furtively at their phones.

...

And the problem is not limited to large introductory courses. Akira Mizuta Lippit, a cinema and media-studies professor at the University of Southern California--home to perhaps the top film program in the country--said that his students remind him of nicotine addicts going through withdrawal during screenings: The longer they go without checking their phone, the more they fidget. Eventually, they give in.

A lot of people feel that they have lost most of their ability to focus. I'm one of them. I can still read books -- on occasion -- but I do sometimes put them down after a very short bout of reading.
