@jayjayjames2332 This is the real takeaway: Mass consumption of mass produced, boilerplate goods. A cultural empire of blandness. The fact that the chain is holding on to so many locations, but only in the places it has, is itself sort of an indictment of late stage capitalism

@tryfryingmikejones I think their comment points out the very real value this sort of vaguely surreal content has, actually

It was an American Odyssey of the unexpected, refreshing kind. It even had Act 2 drama that was foreshadowed early. They were really able to tell a story with this one, whatever it's about

@ecru_5819 How do you think Pinky managed to stay so chipper?

@spiwolf6998 The film also has such casual gems as "You f*****g c***sucker!" (as seen in the clip on display here), and "Your father was circumcised by my rabbi, you prick!" It's like, the opposite atmosphere you want to create for people forced to wait anxiously in a bare lobby for their car to start working again lol

I have fond memories of the one in Downtown Disney in Disneyland. More sour and mediocre memories than fond ones, but I've got a few fond ones nevertheless haha. It always had the problem of feeling ridiculously filling and huge-plated, which isn't exactly great for walking miles around the park in the heat without even a place to drop any leftovers off if you wanted them

Perhaps at that point the only one that will be left will be the nice independent one up in Niagara

The walls lining roads are like the other comment said, but they also function to reduce noise for the ridiculous freeways (roads with 100+ kph limits and no traffic stops) that we build straight through lower-income residential communities, often erasing poor neighborhoods to build them. So in a real way, yes, their purpose is rather horrifying

Mass consumption of mass produced goods. A cultural empire of blandness. The fact that the chain is holding on to so many locations sort of surprised me, as I'm sure it surprised many others. It might be interesting to speculate about why it's stuck around in the places it has while it's left other places, but there's probably not much of a story there―this American Odyssey can readily be viewed as a unique and yet all-too-common indictment of late stage capitalism in America
