The Rock Pens A Lovely Statement After Receiving A 15-Minute Standing Ovation For The Smashing Machine

When films are screened for European audiences, the crowds are often very honest and vocal when responding. If an audience doesn’t like a film, they may boo and even walk out of screenings. However, when a feature is received well, audiences are generous with their praise, often resulting in lengthy standing ovations. This was particularly the case with Smashing Machine, which received a 15-minute standing ovation in Venice. Johnson was very emotional in receiving such a reaction and shared his gratitude on Instagram, saying:

Walt Disney World was initially conceptualized with the whole family in focus. As such, each park within the resort features specialized play zones tailored for children up to 12 years old. Over time, some of these areas have been replaced or removed. For instance, the “Honey I Shrunk The Kids” play area at Hollywood Studios was a popular choice; upon entry, it seemed as if kids had been shrunk to ant size due to the giant blades of grass and enormous toy props. Alas, it ceased operation on April 2nd, 2016, giving way for the construction of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.
