And for those unfamiliar with the At At
And for all you boys of the 80’s that couldn’t get enough of Princess Leia in that slave bikini, here’s a picture of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double tanning. But I’ll take it one step further than the stuff you will find on other blogs. Her stunt double is named Tracey Eddon [IMDB].
Also, I’ve seen this scene from Return of the Jedi a million times, but never noticed this inappropriate grab by Harrison Ford.
ENID, Okla. (AP) — An Oklahoma couple driving home from church hit an animal — a really big one.
An elephant that escaped from a nearby circus collided with the couple’s SUV Wednesday night when it ran across a rural highway in Enid, about 100 miles north of Oklahoma City.
There’s a joking hiding in there somewhere, but the good news is, it appears the elephant will be OK.
I’m sure having your father be the President of the United States can be a pretty cool thing, but as a kid just trying to fit in, I’m sure it can also be a little embarrassing. But what can be even more embarrassing is when your father is giving a speech and mentions you made a 73 on a science test (45 second mark).
I bet Malia and her mother gave him an earful about that, but at least he admits she redeemed herself.
And I wonder who will be the first to comment that he or she is embarrassed to have him as a president.
LOS ANGELES — For decades, the Walt Disney Company has largely kept Mickey Mouse frozen under glass, fearful that even the tiniest tinkering might tarnish the brand and upend his $5 billion or so in annual merchandise sales. One false move and Disney could have New Coke on its hands.
Now, however, concerned that Mickey has become more of a corporate symbol than a beloved character for recent generations of young people, Disney is taking the risky step of re-imagining him for the future.
The first glimmer of this will be the introduction next year of a new video game, Epic Mickey, in which the formerly squeaky clean character can be cantankerous and cunning, as well as heroic, as he traverses a forbidding wasteland.
And at the same time, in a parallel but separate effort, Disney has quietly embarked on an even larger project to rethink the character’s personality, from the way Mickey walks and talks to the way he appears on the Disney Channel and how children interact with him on the Web — even what his house looks like at Disney World.
