She talks about the reason. It’s impossible for them to either open as a “regular” hotel, drop price or increase the number of rooms. It was made specifically with this experience type of stay, it’s in the middle of nowhere, etc.
I’m so sad I never got to visit because the advertisements make it seem so neat! A hotel, themed liked Star Wars! Actors! Space stuff! Story!
But for those prices, my extremely broke ass was never going. Maybe at the prices she said they should be I could have saved very slowly, or gotten lucky with discounts, but no.
Also if it had just stopped working like everything did for Jenny? At those prices??? Miserable, horrible!
It’s such a train wreck, and it must have been obvious to a lot of the people working on it that it was going to be a train wreck.
I can really only imagine that this was the product of a corporate yes-man culture, where critical voices get sidelined or eliminated and the solution to every problem is to just throw money at it (but not too much money, just enough to make it look passable).

Having worked with a bunch of egotistical rich folks (of which there are so many and you won’t see them on the news), they see this as research. I used to believe in fighting to do the right thing, but they aren’t going to have it. I see a trainwreck and rich CEO is going to push it no matter what. All I can do is brace for impact, ride the wave, keep people employed and take the money, all while knowing it will fail.
Heck, you see it all the time. The VR worlds, the tone-deaf games, the hardware nobody asked for, the shitty movies.
Oh relax. It’s free entertainment. She doesn’t owe you specifically anything. For all it matters, she could have made a 10 hour video of a cat meowing, and she would have been allowed to do so with or without your approval.
I saw the whole damn thing in one night, but I had nothing else to do, sitting on standby keeping an eye on my old sleeping cat, he just started medical treatment and the good news seems to be that it’s working and the side effects are not too bad.
But yeah, your post gave me something perfect to pass the time with during the wee hours.
That’s kind of Jenny’s style though: long-form, ridiculously detailed discussion of a particular topic. Her fans seem to enjoy it, and if you treat it like a podcast to be listened to in the background while you do other stuff it’s tolerable.
I can’t imagine sitting down for 4+ hours to intently watch someone talk into a camera.
you missing the wonder of jenny fucking nicholson, and i assure you whatever preconceptions of ego you're assigning to her, are overwhelmed in their entirety by her intelligence, wit, experience, and deep deep backround references and analysis. i think your response was triggerd by the "holy shit it's a mess" comment you replied to, with your brain doing that weird thing it does when it reacts to less than the full information, chunkystyles was sayin the starcruiser was a mess, not jenny's review of it. it's 4hrs of amazing. check it out, or don't, but nicholson is on her fucking game, unlike anything that snyder has put out in 10 years.
