Monster University
From shescribes blog:
Disney * Pixar's Monsters University – Check it out!
Posted: 23 Jun 2012 07:56 AM PDT
Did you know that Disney * Pixar created a prequeal to the smash hitMonsters, Inc.? All of your favorites are back!
The new film, Monsters University, explores what life was like for the characters while they were in college.
Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. "Monsters University" unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
Screaming with laughter and fun, "Monsters University" is directed by Dan Scanlon ("Cars," "Mater and the Ghostlight," "Tracy") and produced by Kori Rae ("Up," "The Incredibles," "Monsters, Inc."). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
The movie stars the voice talents of Billy Crystal (Mike Wazowski), John Goodman (James P. Sullivan), Dave Foley, Julia Sweeney and Steve Buscemi. It's set to be released on June 21, 2013.
Here are some interesting little tid bits about the film.
Monsters, Inc., originally released on November 2, 2001, was nominated for four Oscars: Best Animated Feature Film, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing and Best Original Song—"If I Didn't Have You," for which it won.
Monsters University will hit U.S. theaters nearly 12 years after theMonsters, Inc. theatrical debut.
Monsters University features a host of new faces and a few returning favorites fromMonsters, Inc.
Check out this fun clip from the film. I have to say that it looks really good. Sometimes sequeal/prequels are not as good as the original. I think one looks like it could be close. Of course there are some sequeals/prequels that are actuallybetter than the originals too.
You can follow this movie and others by checking out the Disney * Pixar Facebook and Twitter pages,www.Facebook.com/DisneyPixarand @DisneyPixar.

Disney Announces Start of Production on "Maleficent"
Posted: 19 Jun 2012 12:57 PM PDT
I still remember the first time I saw Sleeping Beauty in the movie theater. The movie premiered before I was even born (1959). When I was younger the local movie theater used to re-release Disney films during the summer. I was lucky enough to see all the classics in the theater.
I found Sleeping Beauty to be scary when I was little. The story it's self is nice but the evil character of Maleficent was scary. Especially when she turned into a dragon. The "horns" on top of her head made her especially scary looking.
If you are unfamiliar with the story, or have never seen Disney's Sleeping Beauty, I would highly recommend it. It's a great film.
Disney just announced the start of production on the movie Maleficent, which will be in theaters March 14, 2013. The movie is about Maleficent, not Aurora/Briar Rose ("Sleeping Beauty"). This film focuses on Maleficent and how she became disenchanted with the kingdom and what caused her to become evil.
Here is an official release for the film;
The Walt Disney Studios announced today that production began Wednesday, June 13th, on "Maleficent," starring Academy Award®–winning actress Angelina Jolie.
Directed by two-time Oscar®-winning production designer Robert Stromberg ("Avatar," "Alice in Wonderland"), in his directorial debut, and produced by Joe Roth, "Maleficent" is written by Linda Woolverton ("The Lion King," "Beauty and the Beast") and executive produced by Angelina Jolie, Don Hahn, Matt Smith and Palak Patel.
Co-starring in the film are Sharlto Copley ("District 9"), Elle Fanning ("Super 8"), Sam Riley ("On the Road"), Imelda Staunton ("Vera Drake"), Miranda Richardson ("The Hours"), Juno Temple ("Atonement") and Lesley Manville ("Secrets & Lies").
This is the untold story of Disney's most beloved villain, Maleficent, from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty." The film reveals the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora.
Behind-the-scenes talent includes Academy Award®–winning cinematographer Dean Semler ("Dances with Wolves," "In the Land of Blood and Honey"), production designer Gary Freeman ("Saving Private Ryan," "The Bourne Supremacy"), two-time Oscar® nominated costume designer Anna B. Sheppard ("Schindler's List," "The Pianist") and seven-time Academy Award–winning makeup artist Rick Baker ("Planet of the Apes," "Men in Black").
"Maleficent" is scheduled for a March 14, 2014 release in 3D.
Entertainment Weekly has a brief interview with Angelina Jolie about the movie Maleficent and her part in the film. If you are interested in reading it you can find the review here, http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/06/19/first-look-maleficent.
Here is the first photo of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. She truly does look like a live version of Maleficent. The studios did a great job casting her for this role.
What do you think about this film? Does it sound like something you would want to see in the theater? What do you think about the studio's choice to case Angelina Jolie in the staring role?

The Walking Dead Creator Designs Zombie Survival Hyundai
Posted: 18 Jun 2012 07:05 AM PDT
If you woke up one morning and realized the zombie apocalypse was here, what vehicle would you want to fight off the hordes? I think I want something with a lot of payload capacity for all the weapons, Doritos, and Dr. Pepper I'd need to survive. I would at least want something big and rugged that could survive being set upon by the horde. One vehicle that would never come to my mind to fight the zombie apocalypse would be a Hyundai.
However, The Walking Dead Creator Robert Kirkman has created a cool Hyundai Elantra Coupe that I could certainly see being used to kill zombies. Apparently, the actual vehicle will be shown off on the Comic-Con show floor at the Future US booth in July, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like.
The car appears to have riveted-on metal plates to protect it from zombies along with spinning wheel spikes to sever legs and a zombie plow with spikes in front. It's also got plenty of light for those nighttime zombie killing sprees and roof mounted escape panels. I still think you'd be better off with something that can could on or off-road. I vote for a zombie fighting Hummer. Or maybe one ofthese

iPhone Cases and no shoelaces again
iPhone Cases and no shoelaces again.
From Technobob blog:
| Posted: 10 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT If the rumors are true, Apple may be getting ready to announce the iPhone 5 next week, rendering your iPhone 4/4S obsolete. But there is a new hope, young Padawan. Accessory maker PowerA will soon release a line of officially licensed Star Wars cases for your phone.  There will be four Collector Cases designed after Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Chewbacca. Yep, the Chewie case has fur on it. There are also two less interesting Saga Cases featuring art from the Star Wars movie posters.      It's a shame they forgot to make one of Han Solo in Carbonite. The Collector and Sage Cases will be available later this year for $40 (USD) and $30 respectively. |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2012 07:00 AM PDT Some people love their shoelaces, while others despise them. They're great if you have the time to painstakingly tie them into a neat bow and re-tie them in the same, careful manner every time they come undone. And if you're the clumsy type, then you'll have to be prepared to do the latter more times than normal. But your shoelace-dependent footwear would be rendered useless without the laces itself – until Hickies came along.  They're a project by Mariquel and Gaston, who both hail from Brooklyn, New York. Basically, they're elastic bands that hook into your shoes' lace holes, replacing shoelaces altogether. That means no more shoelaces, no more unsightly bows, and no more tripping over untied laces.  They also add to the whole look of your shoes as well, since it's available in a wide array of colors. Interested? Then you'd better hurry because you've got just a few days to make a pledge on Kickstarter to support the project and get some Hickies for your shoes.  |
