Captain EO Is Back!!!

Did anybody else watch the Michael Jackson 'This Is It' movie? It really wasn't what I expected.... I wasn't expecting the Michael Jackson that I saw on stage. He wasn't the Michael Jackson that you saw in the tabloids. He was in control of everything.... He knew who, where, when and what he wanted and he knew why he wanted it.... And if it weren't for his untimely death, I think it would have been an impressive concert tour.

Anyway, way back in the day, Michael Jackson starred in a little 3D film that was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by George Lucas, called 'Captain EO'. The film stars Michael Jackson as the leader of a 'rough-around-the-edges' crew headed into space to deliver a gift to the 'Witch Queen' and was a vehicle for the debut of two of Michael Jackson's best songs: 'We Are Here To Change The World' and 'Another Part Of Me".

Now, you couldn't see 'Captain EO' in any old theater.... You could only see the film in Disney parks, and sadly, the movie was removed from Disneyland in 1996. This was one of the must see attractions at Disneyland!

Well.... It's back!!!!! Captain EO came back to Disneyland in full remastered glory yesterday, February 23, 2010! Now, I know that most everybody will not be able to make it out to California to see Captain EO, so I present to you the regular video and the 3D version! Seriously, if you have the glasses, watch the 3D version! Oh, and you need the old school red and blue 3D glasses, not the new Avatar 3D type glasses!

He's A Human Being Too!

Check this out! Here are some photos from "The Official White House Photostream" on flickr. The White House representatives post fantastic pictures of Obama and his staff taking care of business. Here are some of the pictures I found interesting. Click on the banner below to see the entire photostream.

Who's Coming With Me?

All right, Friday is the public viewing of Michael Jackson at Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara! Who's coming with me?

Anyway, here's what I think of when I hear the name Michael Jackson.... Captain EO! Here's the regular video and the 3D version! Seriously, if you have the glasses, watch the 3D version! By yhe way.... If you don't have any 3D glasses, ask Sarah, she told me she has 4 pairs, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind letting you borrow them for a while.....

Father's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day. Noah and I had a wonderful day! We took mommy with us to see "UP"! What a fantastic movie! The 3D glasses we were wearing helped hide the tears....

I got a beautiful card from Noah that I'll try to post pictures of later on Noah's Notables.

By the way, 'Boardwalk Fries'.... I have a bone to pick with you.... Do not send advertisements to my home stating that you will be opening on June 20, only to still have not opened on June 21! You owe me fries! You are a murderer of love!

Ok, to finish this up, I'm going to send you to the site of a game designer that came up with a clever way of notifying his employer and fellow employees that he was leaving his job. Click on the banner below to see how he used Mario let them know!

Break Out Of The Cage

Did you know that Nicolas Cage auditioned and lost the role of John Bender in "The Breakfast Club" to Judd Nelson?

Do you think he lost the role after they saw "Valley Girls"? Here's the trailer for the movie, which I can only assume after watching the trailer, is absolutely awful. What is going on with his hair?

I am renting this movie for two reasons:

1. The soundtrack is awesome.

2. The following conversation shown in the trailer:

Movie Patron: "Oh bitchin'! Is this in 3D?"

Nicolas Cage: "No, but your face is!"
