The return of Captain EO
The fantastic Disney news blog “Disney and more” is reporting that an official announcement about the return of Captain EO is on the way.
According to the Hollywood Reporter – and to my sources, too! – Captain Eo should come back at Disneyland next January. Apparently the huge success of the “this is it” documentary – 220 Milion $ worldwide in two weeks had some effects on the WDC.

As a kid growing up in the 80′s that took weekly trips to Disneyland this was, hands down, my favorite thing to do at the park. Sometimes I would watch it multiple times a trip. I can’t wait!
Update: Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that Disney is thinking about doing a red carpet premier for the return of EO.

When I grow up I want to be a Monorail
Q: Is there anything on this planet cooler than the Monorail?
A: No there is not.
The Monorail is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. Whenever I go to Disneyland and happen to see the Monorail glide by I am frozen in my tracks and all the thoughts in my head cease as I gaze at that beauty.
‘This Is It’ makes $103.9 million in 5 days
It raked in $23.2 million on approximately 5,500 screens at 3,481 sites, ranking as the fourth highest-grossing Halloween debut on record, and has grossed $34.4 million in five and a half days. Add in foreign grosses of $69.5 million from 98 countries, and This Is It’s five-day worldwide haul was $103.9 million, which exceeded the lifetime tally of the Hannah Montana concert.
That is pretty amazing for a film that has MJ giving about 20% effort through most of the songs. It was still a great movie, I am a massive fan of Michael and I enjoyed it. It was great seeing it in a theater full of other fans. Oh and speaking of movies, I saw Paranormal Activity over the weekend. Just as I thought it ended up being an over-hyped turd.

Ray and I were lucky enough to attend 5 playoff games last year including game 1 of the finals. The fact that they unveiled the new championship banner made this a must-attend game for us.
Reebok celebrates 20 years of PUMP
This makes me fell old but I had to post this because who didn’t have a pair of Reebok PUMPs back in the day. Back in elementary school I thought it was so cool with these shoes. I think I was 8 years old when I had them. This was when I thought if I had the right shoes I could make it to the NBA. It didnt take me long to realize that suck at basketball all sports, and I should leave it to the pros.
