I heard they'd shut down some of the rides at Disneyland for inspection after the earthquake this morning .. hopefully, that didn't spoil any of your fun! :o That was the strongest one we've had around L.A. in several years .. but it was actually (and thankfully) quite minor, as earthquakes go. Ju-u...

Fun teaser! :) I do wonder why this wasn't attached to WALL-E, though.

The only part I found 'unexpected' was the words "presented in Disney Digital 3-D" .. that's a first for Pixar, at least.

Just got home from my 'whirlwind' Con trip .. I'm worn out , so I'll talk more about it later. I guess I missed out on hooking up with you guys at the Floyd Norman panel. :( I did look around a bit at name-tags to see if I could spot one of you .. but with about 200 people in that room, and (seeming...

I'll be hopping on the train at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning .. and will be there all day Thursday! As I'd said, I'll be attending the Floyd Norman panel for certain; I might 'pop in' to some earlier panels once I've managed to gather all the artist's sketchbooks on my list. Not that it will be much use...

I'll be at the San Diego Comic Con .. but on Thursday, only (July 24th). I take the train down each year. :idea: There's a subway which runs from North Hollywood to downtown L.A.'s Union Station; then I take Amtrak from L.A. to San Diego's downtown station .. which happens to be right across the str...

The trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua doesn't hint at the actual plot; a kidnap-and-rescue 'caper' which -- while not terribly original -- still looks like harmless fun. It looks to be at least as entertaining as Cats & Dogs (though, I know that in most people's estimation, that's not saying much ...

The initial .psd template took perhaps 5 or 6 hours. Customizing the template for each season takes about an hour apiece (most of which is spent typing the episode titles and bonus features). I've also used this same template for other H-B sets ( The Jetsons , Yogi Bear , Huckleberry Hound , etc), s...

It wasn't just you, Daniel; the 'cheapie' image host I'd placed those pics on this morning had 'choked', for some reason .. so, I've re-hosted them on my own FTP server; you should be able to see them now! :oops: :)

Or you could simply Google: "Super Strength two steps from hell" and look at the "magesy" page... ;) I have, and I actually joined that site a few months ago .. only to discover that all of those links are long-dead. :( ------------------ This is Two Steps from Hell 's website. The particular track...

Does anyone know if there's some place I can get the song "Super Strength" by "two steps from hell"? It's the song that plays during the second half of the theatrical trailer and I have searched the entire internet for it and can't find it :( You and me both. :( Unfortunately, Two Steps from Hell i...

I've had the WALL-E soundtrack CD on 'endless loop' for the past couple of days. I was already a pretty big fan of Thomas Newman's scores based on Finding Nemo and A Series of Unfortunate Events .. but he has truly 'outdone' himself with WALL-E . The themes he came up with tell almost as much of the...

Regarding the packaging .. one of my (pointless) hobbies is 'repackaging' my DVD collection, in order to conserve shelf space .. which often gives me the opportunity to use 'better' (or at least, IMO, more 'appropriate') cover art. For The Flintstones , this is what I came up with: http://www.studio...

Last year, I said that I'd long hoped to see an animated film from a 'western' studio which exhibited the same carefully-crafted mixture of sincerity and whimsy seen in the anime films from Studio Ghibli .. and that with Ratatouille , Pixar had finally made one. Now I can say that they've made two. ...

Read carefully, yourself, EricJ ; I'd corrected myself -- well before you'd posted your reply -- in green text , no less (albeit as an 'addendum/edit'). ----------- I agree that Gerry Johnson was a 'lesser' voice actress for Betty Rubble (as, IMO, Henry Corden likewise was for Fred Flintstone) .. bu...

Re: The Flintstones - The Complete Series

Don't suppose there's anyway fans can just buy the Seasons 1-3 book, and ignore the rest? You could just buy the separate boxed sets of seasons 1-3 that were released over the past several years .. since this new 'complete' boxed set looks to basically be 're-issues' of seasons 1-6, in exactly the ...
