Jeff: 我期待着在父亲节与我的女儿们一起观看《头脑特工队2》。 我最近去了一趟迪士尼乐园，并对迪士尼乐园市中心的新墨西哥餐厅Paseo进行了试吃，总体体验积极，但菜品供应上出现了一些小问题。食物质量很高，特别是章鱼和玛萨玛德面包给我留下了深刻印象。 我还参加了艾伦·迪恩·福斯特的签售会，他分享了他创作《星球大战》小说和《黑洞》小说的经历，以及他对科幻小说的看法。 Kristen Carr: 我很高兴能提前观看《头脑特工队2》。这部电影巧妙地处理了焦虑等情绪，在幽默和感人之间取得了平衡。电影中对焦虑的刻画非常出色，能够引起观众共鸣。 迪士尼乐园的夏季活动丰富多彩，包括新的食物、特别活动和优惠的票价。虽然人流量有所增加，但总体上还算可以接受。我推荐一些值得尝试的美食和活动，例如皮克斯主题的零食、Clarabelle的西瓜饮料以及皮克斯游行。 《头脑特工队2》中引入了新的情绪，例如尴尬和厌倦，这些情绪的刻画非常贴切，也增加了影片的趣味性。 Alan Dean Foster: 我创作了《星球大战》的第一部小说，以及它的续集《心灵碎片》。 在创作《黑洞》小说时，我发现电影中存在许多科学上的不合理之处，并提出了改进建议，但这些建议并未被采纳。 我认为《星球大战》更偏向于科幻奇幻，而《星际迷航》则更注重科学性。 我与迪士尼就《星球大战》和《异形》小说的版权费问题发生过纠纷，最终通过协商解决了这个问题。
