I have more sentimental memories of the first episode of the 90's series, having grown up with a tape of "Pryde of the X-Men", from Hasbro's GI Joe and Transformers days. Some good points (like the "old-school" Nightcrawler), but overall, owie . When Fox got their 90's series, thought, "Oh, good, th...

And does that early Buzz Lightyear concept art looks a lot like William Joyce's?

And that that's Hope Pym who punches Scott, which means no Wasp (yet). Oh well, there's always Phase 3. :( Spiderman (and Daredevil, who's official canon but not groomed yet) are technically unlicensed private-sector local NYC superheroes, who don't have travel budgets to leave the city and pretty m...

Batman Begins was before The Prestige. And I'm pretty sure the Caped Crusader is doing just fine. ;) No, I meant, saying you don't want to do another Batman movie is one thing, actually wrapping up the canon and putting Bruce Wayne into happy retirement is another. :shock: (Rather like Charlton Hes...

I don't know if Nolan is a "poseur" per se, as I don't think he really believes he's "the next Kubrick" as Warner seem to want to promote him and the lazy media is happy to trail along with, but I do think he has ideas above his station that he maybe isn't quite capable of really realising. I don't...

The weekend will also see the premiere screening of the 3D version of Revenge of the Sith on Friday with Ian McDiarmid introducing. Now, the supreme test, to see whether Disney will let temptations conquer their fears, and actually release the 3D version in theaters or on disk, along with the other...

Funny how this topic died way back in November. This film lost all its buzz, yet stores had tons of copies available to buy last week. I wonder if they're selling? They were also pushing a special Fathom showing this month with a roundtable discussion of the science with experts and the filmmakers,...

Oh, I see EricJ , and I love the Shelly Duvall Faerie Tale Theatre one too! But what did you mean by pre-Renaissance? Pre-Disney-animation-Renaissance versions of Cinderella? (No, meant the 80's Shelley Duvall episodes that weren't corrupted by 90's Disney, and gave us the "real" source-faithful LA...

Until debunked, the prevailing rumor was that this was the movie version of the Broadway musical (hence the "new music and songs")--Yes, it's pre-Cinderella. And, obviously rather than film characters wearing candelabra suits, safe guess that Kline and McKellen will be voicing the CGI Maurice and Co...

There may be something to the notion that Fox is becoming openly hostile toward physical media. :| I'm completely in the belief that Digital Media is a full-blown bubble that's doing mortgage-derivative damage to the industry--it's replaced renting, but any studios waiting for it to "replace disk" ...

(come on, do you really think we'd be getting Finding Dory if Carter had launched a franchise? For the very reason Dory was scheduled in the first place (yes, that freakin' Circle again), we would eventually at some point anyway, just not with Stanton. Don't fall into the trap of thinking "Pixar ma...

Many people don't realize just how economical it can be to stay in the Park. Many people are eager to check out condo deals in Kissimmee (and are very proud of themselves for being so clever), but staying in the Park can be a great deal, too. The All Star resorts were under $100/night when we visit...

My younger brother interned at Walt Disney World for a year, mostly as a conductor on the Magic Kingdom Railroad. While there, he tried-out for an opening to work as a 'walk-around' Tigger/Goofy (the suits fit the same-sized person), and was accepted .. until they found out he was just an intern, a...

You had me at Pete Puma... He is officially a god to me now! :lol: Pete Puma had one of the most annoying voices in Looney Tunes shorts... but it's fun trying to imitate that voice! :mrgreen: Again, it was taking off of Frank Fontaine's voice (before he was Crazy Guggenheim on Jackie Gleason's show...

Also, not everybody can take the sugar rush of going into a Disney park for an entire week! :lol: . But some of us can, and often do. As James points out, the ticket prices are designed for week stays, and start getting cheaper per day after 5-6 days. Even despite my well-known movie sentiments, af...
