Single, Double, nah, let's go with TRIPLE Frontier.
Looks like Johnny Depp's in talks with some big people in Hollywood. As if that's new news. But what's interesting is that he's talking to Katheryn Bigelow, and Tom Hanks. About what you might ask? The Triple Frontier. A movie told in the jungles and wilderness of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. Not much is known about the film yet, or even if it's going to become something. But seeing one of my favorite directors, with two of my favorite actors makes me a really happy guy.

It's HERE. WATCH. THIS. NOW.

Promotional Works
I've recently been thinking about a lot of things. Some related to Disney, some not. And thank God I've got my blog, because if I were to post this on Micechat, I would get torn apart and fed to those trolling websharks. So, I'm going to post my full opinions, and take it for what its worth. Let's get down to business...
- Fans online often complain about how the park is doing too many movie-based attractions lately. From Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, to the new Tangled meet and greet. It is an ok observation. It's true, the rides are based off movies, but here's something people are missing.
You know that iconic symbol of the park? The Castle? Yea. That's Sleeping Beauty's castle. Did you know that when the park was being built, Sleeping Beauty HAD YET to debut in theaters? Walt Didn't use Cinderella's castle in Anaheim, he used SLEEPING BEAUTY. Want to know why? Because he was promoting his new film through the castle.
Now, one can argue that these attractions are coming out after the films debut. True, however if you look at the films the rides are being based off of, then you need to realize that these films are immensely popular. Finding Nemo is the second highest grossing film, behind the recently created Toy Story 3. Look at the two Toy Story (Midway) Mania attractions. Based off of a trilogy that, as a whole, grossed roughly $1,9oo,900,200.
There's also a cry for wanting original based attractions. Attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean, or Haunted Mansion. As true as this is, people fail to realize that even though Disneyland itself may not be getting anything "original" at the moment, other parks are. Hong Kong is getting three new lands, two of which are completely original ideas. Personally, I'd love to see something original as well as something movie based. I don't care if it is tied into a movie or not. If the attraction is done well, then I'll enjoy it. I'm a fan of Winnie the Pooh, and I'll probably like the Florida's version, or Tokyo's when I get to riding them, however I cant' stand the one we have over here in California because it's so...cheap looking. That's an example of ride lacking some good lovin' on the creative side.
People love seeing stories come to life, and they love the stories even more when their favorite stories allow them to travel through the story. Look at the line for Peter Pan's Flight, or Alice in Wonderland, and try to prove me wrong on that.
All in all, I think people need to realize that Disney is making the right call with creating attractions that fans can recognize and love already from the film. But there's always going to be those fans that refuse to like it JUST because it's movie based. Here's some wise words of wisdom:
GET. OVER. IT.
Now that we've got this out of the way, let's go camp out in front of CarsLand. I wanna ride Radiator Springs Racers.

Sounds of the Grid

Now that we're only nine days away from the global premier of TRON: Legacy, the Disney company has released the soundtrack to the film. If you're any fan of Daft Punk, you've GOT to get this album. The full album is available on iTunes for $9.99, or $1.29 a song. But on Amazon.com, it's available for $3.99 for the full album, or $0.99 a song. But on iTunes, you get two songs that you don't get on Amazon.
"Father and Son" and "Outlands Part II". These two songs are cheaper than the $1.29, and knocked down to $0.99.
On Amazon, you get the exclusive "Sea of Simulation", which on its own, is a killer song. The first 22 songs on both sites are the same, and I'd suggest buying the album on Amazon, and then getting the last two songs ("Father and Son" and "Outlands Part II") on iTunes, and it's still pretty cheap.
Now it's only a matter of days until we get to see this world come alive on the silver screen.
End of Line.

Happy 109 Uncle Walt

Today one of the most creative men in the world was born. Without his passion for animation, and later, places for families to spend time together, who knows what we would have today in the entertainment world.
Walt Disney.
Happy Birthday to the man who pretty much was one of the leaders in kickstarting animation, and continuing to innovate and create new things as time ticked.

Tangled Trailers
If you haven't already seen Disney's newest animated film, and are wondering what the trailers are that are front runnners for the film, then here's a list of what's coming up, and being advertised before the hair-filled fantasy.
Cars 2 - Racing star Lightning McQueen teams up with his best friend Mater for an international adventure as they go up against the world's fastest cars.
Prom - A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom. (Sounds simple right? Not really. Remember. This IS about high school. THERE WILL BE DRAMA)
Gnomeo and Juliet - Garden gnomes Gnomeo and Juliet have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?
Two of these three films, to me, are going to be good. Take a wild guess as to which ones they are.

Guests Want A Cracker?

Ok, Polly's been missing for some time now. I'm beginning to wonder what's to become of the chatterbox.
Now its just a blind guess, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Disney's working on the parrot to interact with guests. Maybe with that rumored chip technology, maybe not. Maybe even the same way they do Mr. Potato Head next door at Disney's Construction Adventures.
Think about it. It's a perfect spot for them to utilize the technology. It's right as the guests enter the building, the boats float right on by the AA, and they can easily hide the cameras right at the door, and behind the parrot.
Just a thought, but if this happens, you know who guessed it first.
Control to tower: Your Plan Backfired.
TSA: Thousands of Sexy Applicants.
Pretty sure this is what was going through their minds when they greenlit the new X-rays at the airports. Too bad they don't see who's REALLY flying nowadays.

Not everyone is Heidi Klum and Minka Kelly. Remember, there's still people like Rosie O'Donnell and Kirstie Alley that fly too.
I feel bad for those security guards manning the x-ray machines having to look at everyone...*shudder*
But if it was like this....then who would mind? hahaha

Double-oh-Mater
The first official Cars 2 Trailer has surfaced on youtube. The story looks pretty decent now that you can see more of what is going to happen. The first teaser trailer made it seem kind of hokey, and I wasn't too sure what to think of it. But now that we have something concrete to see, I can't wait to see this in 2011.
Racing, and shooting its way on screen soon.

South Valley Sports

As much as I really don't like this valley, I gotta do a plug for a new sports program in town. South Valley Sports is a homeschooled program that is starting this next year. I figured I could do my little part in giving them some free advertising, and try to get some more people to know about them. Their site is still new, but adding new information quickly to the site. If you know someone in the South San Juaquin Valley that is homeschooled, or isn't in a public/private high school and wants to play sports, give the site a look, and get a hold of them. They'd love to have additional players and participants in their sports and P.E programs.

Photoshop Dangerous


My goodness, what's up with Nicholas Cage's movie posters lately? They're all starting to look the same. They look the same, just like his voice sounds the same in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE this guy does.
