Comcast should demolish CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood and better use the land to expand its constrained park. Could Super Nintendo World be split? Standalone Donkey Kong Country?
If you demolish CityWalk, you demolish Los Angeles' only true IMAX screen, but five miles away in downtown Burbank are three AMC Theatres in a two-block radius, anchored by the highest-grossing cineplex in America.
Also in said radius is Burbank's former IKEA. Replace said abandoned building with a fourth AMC, featuring the largest true IMAX screen in America.
Disney and Warner Bros., IMAX's biggest champions, are headquartered in Burbank.
Disney World should integrate FX and Searchlight IP into its World Showcase at EPCOT.
The black ship from Shōgun in the World Showcase lagoon outside the Japan pavilion.
Dr. Godwin Baxter's house from Poor Things in the United Kingdom pavilion.
And Disney World should create a Huluwood area inside Hollywood Studios with The Original Beef of Chicagoland, Paddy's Pub, Bob's Burgers, a Hell's Kitchen restaurant…
A theatre in which Only Murders in the Building's Death Rattle musical and Abbott Elementary's F.A.D.E. (Friends Against Drug Exposure) perform.

Did you know that Travis Kelce is producing a documentary on Jean-Michel Basquiat?
Or that the company that gutted Sports Illustrated co-owns Shaq?
Salter founded Authentic Brands Group in 2010 after a career in financial services. It is a brand ownership firm that buys the intellectual property of celebrities dead and alive — including Elvis, Shaquille O'Neal and David Beckham — and then collects royalties from their use. Authentic launched a production studio that was involved in Elvis the movie and Beckham's Netflix docuseries. It bought O'Neal's brand rights and owns approximately 50 percent of his future lifetime earnings, from endorsements to his HBO show to his broadcasting deal with TNT.
"He got a lot of money from us [upfront], and [we] grew his brand exponentially," Salter said. [source]
—
Moments before O'Neal closed the deal to sign away half of his brand proceeds to Authentic, he turned to Salter with an idea.
"[O'Neal] says, 'You know all that money you're going to give me?'" related Salter. "'I'd like to invest it in ABG.' And that's how he became the second-largest shareholder of ABG." [source]
So Shaq co-owns the company that co-owns him.
Red Hot Chili Peppers' album Californication turns 25 in June.
To commemorate its silver anniversary, they should remake their music video for the song "Californication" with modern video game graphics.
Blink-182's album Enema of the State also turns 25 in June, but they already remade their music video for "What's My Age Again?" – a woke version!
Weezer's "blue album" turns 30 in May.
To commemorate its pearl anniversary…
They already remade their music video for "Undone (The Sweater Song)"…
To commemorate the pearl anniversary of the "blue album", Weezer should remake their music video for "Buddy Holly" with the band performing in what used to be Arnold's Drive-In and is now a CVS Pharmacy.
Fatboy Slim released "Praise You" as a single 25 years ago last month.
He should remake its music video outside the shuttered ArcLight Cinemas complex in Hollywood.
Smashing Pumpkins' album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness turns 30 next year.
They should remake their music video for "Tonight, Tonight" using OpenAI's Sora.

Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will showcase original Canadian stories written and produced by, and starring, Canadians.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One-ass punctuation…
Shouldn't it be Law & Order: Criminal Intent – Toronto?
Unless it's a spin-off of Law & Order: Toronto.
Which it isn't.
Why would you name the first Law & Order set in Toronto after the third mainline programme?
Did you know that two Canadian versions of The Traitors exist? A nationwide English-language version and a Quebec-only French-language one.
Also: Separate but equal Big Brothers.
Big Brother Célébrités is the Quebec celebrity version of Big Brother.
Big Brother Célébrités is the third French-language adaptation of the Big Brother format in Canada.
A French-Canadian version of Loft Story, the France-produced version of the series, premiered in 2003.
Loft Story was succeeded by an official Quebec-produced edition of Big Brother in 2010.
