Darah has been on a tremendous The Incredibles kick lately. She watches the Pixar movie every day. She wants to watch it when she wakes up and before she goes to bed. And every time she see Mirage, the white-haired female character, she calls out, “Look, it’s Grandma!”
Tuesday morning we met up with my Uncle and Aunt for brunch at a local deli. Afterward we headed to the beach. We used to go to Boynton Beach, which is logically the closest beach, but several years ago we all agreed that it was worth the extra drive to go to Deerfield Beach. (I [...]
Every year my mother and sister travel to Charlotte for Thanksgiving. That’s one tradition. Another tradition we have is to always see an animated film the day after Thanksgiving. (I don’t even know the last non-animated film I saw in a theater.) This year we saw Bolt. Good movie, two thumbs up. But we didn’t [...]
Maegan and I always see new Pixar movies the first weekend they are released, so we just saw wall-e today. Pixar films are always great and wall-e was no different. I’m not going to post a full review, but I do want to share that I felt like I needed to exercise after the movie. [...]
I just came back from seeing The Simpsons Movie with Maegan. It was eeexcelent. I knew going in that I would love the movie but I also knew that I would still be disappointed from unrealistically high expectations. The biggest problems weren’t with the movie at all, but that I had already seen so much [...]
As part of a promotional campaign for the upcoming Simpson’s Movie, several 7-Eleven stores around the country have been transformed into Kwik-E-Marts. The stores have even been restocked with brand name products from the show, including Buzz Cola, Krusty-O’s Cereal, and Squishee drinks. But the Simpson’s branding doesn’t stop there as they’ve included details such [...]
The Simpsons Movie just relaunched their official website. Half of the site is annoyingly under construction but you are able to make your own custom Simpsons character. Maegan wanted to make herself into a Simpsons character, so I Simpsonized the entire family (and then PhotoShopped it more).
Last year my television station launched a major multi-media promotional campaign for a contest called The Mayberry Code. (I blogged about receiving an Emmy nomination for the promo and I’ll find out if I won in two more weeks.) My totally original concept was to place Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show in the [...]
I found this both interesting and surprising as I discovered that a movie is currently being made about the sport of disc golf. Chains is a film about “the fastest growing sport you never heard of”. It’s set for a winter 2007 release date, and if it is released in theaters at all I’m sure [...]
Several months ago I saw several early animatic clips from The Simpsons Movie due out in 2007 (here’s one) and was immediately concerned about how lowbrow the jokes were. During last night’s episode of The Simpsons they showed the first official teaser for The Simpsons Movie. I had been marking my calendar for the release [...]
