Comment on Flash Forward, Episode 107: “The Gift” by Matt S.

This was a much-better episode than last week! I can’t help but think that the future isn’t so easily changed, though. It’s possible because Celia is meant to die, she is going to die six months into the future anyway. Like in Lost, time may have a way of course-correcting. I think they’re going to spring that on us next week. Otherwise, where’s the fun in finding out that the visions were just possible future scenarios?

Also, I believe the name on the bracelet was Annabelle.

I read somewhere that it would’ve been deliciously ironic if, during Al’s fall, he landed on Celia and critically injured her while himself surviving. :)

Nah, that’s just too devious…

Don’t you wish you could get paid to talk about Disney every day? Maybe with all the movement in Disney management you could get something there..lol
Good luck!

Comment on El Capitan Theater Hosts A Christmas Carol Spectacular by Brian

Brian — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:01:08 +0000

I think this is finally the one that shows us what a fully motion-captured film is supposed to be about.

It’s not to create a world that looks exactly like ours via computer, but to create a world that’s wholly its own beast.

The El Capitan is always fun – I saw the first Pirates there and it was a blast.

The photography in Tales from the LaughingPlace is FAN-tastic. I highly recommend checking it out. :-)

Comment on What Can Disney Learn from Hong Kong before building in Shanghai? by Phil Johnson

Phil Johnson — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:13:38 +0000

It’s amazing that a company as large as Disney would miss international relations stuff like that. But then when that deal was being done, Eisner was still in charge and the company was pretty arrogant.

As the Fortune article says, the Chinese are becoming wealthy and finicky. One thing it doesn’t mention is that they also are quite good at holding a grudge. I think they’ll give Shanghai a chance, but they’re going to have to do some serious marketing to bring people back to Hong Kong even after the new attractions are added.

There’s only 30,000 copies of each set so buy them quick! We got ours and we LOVE it! My wife’s watching some episodes right now. The show still holds up wonderfully! I can’t believe it was filmed 50 years ago!

Thanks!

Are you kidding? Who writes an article based on the mistakes of a company and theonly information used is that of the Chairman of the company’s biggest rival? How about some support to back up the claims of a rival competitor? You owe me two minutes of my life back for reading this drivel.

Comment on Princess Tiana merchandise already a big hit by John Frost

John Frost — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:55:07 +0000

The box office just broke even, the merchandise made TWDC over $4 billion. That’s great! But you can’t make every movie to be a merchandise monster, the audience will catch on eventually.

Comment on Princess Tiana merchandise already a big hit by David

I must admit , i’m not much into princesses but let me tell you , i can’t imagine Disney Cars had just “broke even”.
3 Years after the release of the movie , you can still see toys anywhere . in fact , the sales are so high that Disney went producing a sequel (Should be released in Summer of 2011) , a series of Disney Cars Toons and Cars Land.

Comment on Dancing with the Stars: Week 7 Results by Missy

Missy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:06:07 +0000

Aaron is dancing well (although in the early weeks, it felt like he was overdancing with desperation). My problem with him was his attitude early on: smug and cocky. Although I guess that should be expected, since he’s barely 21 and has already had a big music career. I think I described him as a “snobby redneck” at one point.
