And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Movies To Watch: Monsters University

I thought this promo to Monsters University was darn adorable.  It plays out like a familiar university recruitment commercial, monsters included.

The latest movie is a sequel to the blockbuster hit, Monsters, Inc., out this summer.  I can't believe it's been 12 years since the first movie was released.

Monster's University - In theaters June 21, 2013.

The Walking Dead/Toy Story Conspiracy

Remember the Zombie Story I posted last month?  Well, here's further proof that The Walking Dead has more in common with the Toy Story franchise than you might have thought.  This will finally put all those conspiracy theories to rest.
The Walking Dead meets Toy Story in this re-imagining of the opening sequence to the popular AMC television series.

Must Watch: The Lego Story

If you're in your 70's, 60's, 50's 40's, 30's, 20's, 10's or even 5, you'll enjoy this video.

Celebrating 80 years, Lego has put together a Pixar-esque video that is pretty darn cool - I really enjoyed watching it.  

The video tells the story of how Lego came to be, and the origin of the famous painful-foot-stabbing bricks.  LOL.  You won't be disappointed.

Hell, If I'm correct, my mom still has my original Legos I played with as a kid.  I need to have a talk with her. :-)

Khaleesi From Game of Thrones... In Pixar?

Khaleesi & Her Dragons.

I guess if you're a Game of Thrones fan you would appreciate this more.  I think it's pretty cool, so I had to share it.  

It has a Pixar feel to it, don't you think?

Movies to Watch: Brave

This looks like a really cute movie to watch. It kind of reminds me of "How To Train Your Dragon" by Dreamworks, without the Dragon of course.

I'm a sucker for animated movies, so I think I'll mark June 22, 2012 down in my calendar.  Check out the trailer below.

According to Disney, the film is set in the Scottish Highlands and follows a brave princess named Merida, who confronts and challenges tradition, destiny and some pretty fierce beasts.  Throughout her journey she realizes the true meaning of courage.

The film features the voices of Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Robbie Coltrane, and Craig Ferguson.

Quoted: Steve Jobs

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart...

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true." 
                                        - Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple Computer and
                                          of Pixar Animation Studios, in a June 12, 
                                          2005 commencement address to Stanford 
                                          University.

"My first computer was an apple.  It had a huge ass keyboard, and used those huge 5 inch floppy disks.  It had a black screen and the letters were all in green - very matrix. LOL.  In either case, it truly is a sad day to know that Steve Jobs has passed away, but his legacy will live in the hearts and souls of many for thousands of years.  He was the Einstein of our generation, and I can't name one person in this era who has done more to change the world, than he.  R.I.P. Steve."                    - Blade 7184 aka Peter

Movies to Watch: The Muppets (First Full-length Trailer)

Woo-hoo!!!  Finally! a real Muppets Trailer has come out, and I'm super-uber excited!  As you may recall, a month ago, Disney released a fake trailer during the Pirates of the Carribean movie, titled "Green with Envy."  Well, it isn't fake this time...


From my previous post:
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, US, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10-million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit the Frog reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, "The Muppets" hits the big screen November 23, 2011.

Movies to Watch: Green With Envy


It's been 12 years since we last saw them...







12 years since we last heard from them...







and...







12 years since they arrived from space...







and just when you think they're long gone...







If you went to see Pirates of the Carribean over the weekend, you may have caught a trailer titled, "Green With Envy."  It was a fake movie trailer created by Disney to promote their new movie, "The Muppets."

"The Muppets" return to the big screen on Thanksgiving Day, and it  seems like it's going to be a real kid pleaser.  Personally, I think adults and children will enjoy it.

Toy Story Returns!


Just when you thought you finished watching the final installment of the Toy Story series, it returns with a bang. In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, images of Toy Story's "Hawaiian Vacation" surfaced.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the gang return in a series of shorts being released in front of the upcoming movies, Cars 2 and The Muppets.  The first short will be released on June 24 in front of Cars 2.

An article from The Playlist states the following:
The short’s director (and former sound designer) Gary Rydstrom, who also made the Pixar short “Lifted,” said of the short, “Woody becomes kind of like what’s-his-name on “Love Boat”...Captain Stubing!” While that reference is going to fly right over kids’ heads, he also elaborates vaguely on the story. “As toys who get played with all the time, they have a pretty good imagination, when it’s time for a little playacting, they’re good at it.” As for the images, it looks like all of our favorite toys are back and we’re sure they will try to find a way to wring some tears out of us during their brief few minutes onscreen. If anyone can do it, Pixar can. You can check out the second image below and we’ll update the images when EW posts them online.
