Timon and Pumbaa on Stars

My favorite line in the whole movie.

PUMBAA:

Timon, ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?

TIMON:

Pumbaa, I don't wonder; I know.

PUMBAA:

Oh. What are they?

TIMON:

They're fireflies. Fireflies that, uh... got stuck up in that big bluish-black thing.

PUMBAA:

Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.

TIMON:

Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas.

Uh-Oh

This is really, really scary. And makes me, more than ever, want to limit government.

Good Morning, Vietnam

A great combination of humor and drama. And Robin Williams basically improvises the whole movie, which is incredible. It does have its crude and vulgar moments, but what are you going to do? And it's based on a true story. (And doesn't Robin Williams look rakishly handsome?)

An Appeal to Disney

A list of some of Disney's greatest animated (non-CGI) movies of the past twenty years:

1. The Little Mermaid (1989)
2. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
3. Aladdin (1992)
4. Pocahontas (1995)
5. Hercules (1997)
6. Mulan (1998)
   

And some more recent animated (non-CGI) Disney movies:

1. Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
2. Lilo & Stitch (2002)
3. Treasure Planet (2002)
4. Brother Bear (2003)
5. Home on the Range (2004)

What's the difference between the two lists? I can summarize it in two words:

1. Music
2. Princesses

Nothing else really matters. Remember that great song from Brother Bear? I don't either. Remember the princess from Treasure Planet you wanted to be (or marry) when you grew up? Neither do I! Disney movies are one of the coolest things in the world, when done correctly. And the formula for doing it correctly is so simple! You just need breathtaking music...and princesses.

Obviously, there are some exceptions. The Lion King, for example, is a great Disney movie with no princesses (Nala doesn't really count). And people loved Finding Nemo, but that was CGI.

So Disney, please...

Please...

Remember your roots.

Star Wars and the KGB: The Ultimate Conspiracy

So you known the Lusankya, Ysanne Isard's Super Star Destroyer (what a great name) in the (allegedly fictional) Star Wars universe? Well, turns out the place where the KGB did their dirty work is called Lubyanka. Dyslexic coincidence? I think not. More updates will be forthcoming.
