Bloggaday 38 – The Da Vinci Code of Disney Movie Rundowns

Bloggaday 38 – The Da Vinci Code of Disney Movie Rundowns

Disney Movies 4

Ugly Dachshund, The
45 years old. Wow.

Darn Cat, That
Didn’t I do this one before? Go on a string, frickin frackin, etc?

Mary Poppins
Okay, I’m going to try it.
Supercalifrigicexpiallidocious
The actual spelling
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Meah, close enough

Sword in the Stone, The
Hey, I think I saw this one too. I never realized these movies were this old

101 Dalmatians (Animated)
I mean, you can’t even use the line, “We can put a man on the moon, but we can’t…” when making and watching these movies.

The Absent-Minded Professor
A cliché well-used by myself, and if I become one, I’m sure it would describe myself well.

Swiss Family Robinson
But can we meet them in the future?

Sleeping Beauty
Wow, Disney Standards were rather few and far between

Shaggy Dog, The
I’m assuming this the movie Tim allen remade in.

Old Yeller
And Lassy walk into a bar. Well, long story short, Old Yeller says to Lassey, “If you liked the trail mix, I’ve got some salty nuts at home you would love to lick.”

Lady and the Tramp
A lady and a tramp walk into a bar. Well, long story short, nine months later…

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Captain Nemo trying to find a whale in 20k. Ellen DeGeneres tries to find Nemo in Finding Nemo. Ellen finds a spot on Idol. Harrison Ford steals an idol in Indiana Jones. Jim Jones was born in Indiana. Jim Jones was 24 when 20k came out. Kiefer Sutherland plays in 24. 24 deals with terrorism. Terrorists struck the Towers on 9/11. 9 + 11 = 20. 20k starts with 20. Disney supports terrorists. I hid this message deep in the Bloggaday so Disney wouldn’t find it. Spread the word.

Peter Pan
Peter Flying Fluking Freaking Pan

Alice in Wonderland
Written by a mathematician. I don’t really feel like going through a string again.

Cinderella


The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
Hop on for a wild ride. Just wear protection, or you might get a wart or something

Song of the South
I’m currently taking a History of American Popular Music. I believe this one had the African American singing Zippa Dee Doo Da, which was racist. I often sang that with no clue of that fact.

Three Caballeros, The
My first series of book that I worked had a caballero in it. It was kind of awesome.

Bambi
Looney Toon-Disney Showdowns, a new series coming to the Disney Channel this Fall. The Pilot will be Elmer Fudd and Bambi. It’ll be exciting

Dumbo
The mob du what it do.

Fantasia
I’ve never seen it, but it seems akin to 2001: A Space Odyssey

Pinocchio
A metaphor of a boy going into manhood. Groundbreaking stuff that Disney has tried since then. They usually just get called on it nowadays.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Again, one woman living with 7 men. Very progressive. Breaking the zeitgeist with the best of them, including Freud

The Runner by Southland

Bloggaday 37 – Fab B Speaks on… Dominoes

Bloggaday 37 – Fab B Speaks on… Dominoes

Hello again folks! I’ve got another video for you. Today, I’m going to point you to Fab B Talk on… Dominoes. http://www.youtube.com/user/DavidDysart#p/a/u/0/lQ3V-3Yn0Vk
It is about Dominoes’ new and “improved” pizza they released. I had it yesterday, and it was terrible. Greasy pizza is good, but this wasn’t greasy, it was just buttery. I think the worst part was the sauce though. That was the worst sauce I’ve ever tasted.
I still ate quite a bit of the pizza though. At first, it’s not that bad, but that’s because I was hungry. Then it gets worse, but you don’t want end pizza on a bad note, so I scraped the vile sauce off, but that just didn’t help it much.
Anyways, that’s a hundred words. Peace, chicken.

Bloggaday 36 – Disney Movies 3

Bloggaday 36 – Disney Movies 3

White Fang 2
I wonder if they threatened to move filming to Tampa Bay

Iron Will
Trains like Rocky

Adventures of Huck Finn, The
They were so out of ideas, they remade this?

Cool Runnings
Jamaican Bobsledders. Is it too obvious to ask which herb they were smoking when they decided to this?

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
I’m surprised they didn’t put Jonathan Taylor Thomas in this one.

Three Musketeers, The
Again, a bold move movie by Disney not going for the easy out of making them mice.

Aladdin
This is only my third time saying that I’m getting into movie I know.

Newsies
What do you get when you mix a young (er?) Christian Bale, Disney, newspaper, and a dancing covor? This apparently.

Mighty Ducks, The
Finally, the last one of these I’ll have to see. And I feel confident that I can extend the use of the word “see” to include “watch film”

Muppet Christmas Carol, The
Disney is definitely a fan of the Christmas Carol.

Beauty and the Beast
I’ll put some truth down on this one. It made me cry when I was younger. Now, I would stop watching it even though my mom said that Beast comes back.

White Fang
I guess it could be Tampa Bay after global warming takes a whack at it. That or 2012

Rescuers Down Under, The
Buut do they bring the Thunder?

Little Mermaid, The
Have you seen the original case? I have it. Na nana anana

Cheetah
No girls this time? They just want to have fun

Oliver and Company
I have an excuse for not knowing this one. It literally was before my time.

Flight of the Navigator
Oh live action Disney movies.

Basil - The Great Mouse Detective
I always just knew it as The Great Detective. Good stuff though.

One Magic Christmas
I didn’t know Disney made this many live movies.

Journey of Natty Gann, The
Wow, this is actually rather amazing. I’ve never even heard of these.

Black Cauldron, The
Sounds familiar, but it didn’t have 8 sequels, so obviously, it was a horrible failure.

Return to Oz
Apparently the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion are named Tik-Tok (The object of a hit song that had sonld over 6 million units?) Pumpkinhead (The heart and soul of the horror franchise?)

Where the Toys Come From
Do they use humans when talking to their children about it?

Love Leads the Way
Odd title for Disney’s version of the Erin Brockovich

Never Cry Wolf
And here I am thinking it was a version of the story with the same name. No.

Tiger Town
Look for the much anticipated sequel coming Summer 2011. Cougar Town

Tron
Now this actually has a sequel coming out, but I’m surprised they didn’t wait to

Fox and the Hound, The
Interesting fact: Elvis Presley was not the first to sing the song, Hound Dog. Big Mamma Thornton sang it before him. He’s just crazy enough like a fox to record the cover

Last Flight of Noah's Ark. The
Robinson Crusoe meets the Bible?

Condorman
Kickass?

Herbie Goes Bananas
You would think that the number on the “love bug” would be 69 rather than 53

Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again
With the drama and intrigue of Deadwood. I wonder if he has one bullet in this one too.

Black Hole, The
Better than a movie about the brown one, right?

Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo
Full?

Pete's Dragon
And they called him… Puff

Gus
It seems Don Knotts is quite the Disney standard

Shaggy D.A., The
If my brother becomes a mountain man, this may be him in a few years.

Apple Dumpling Gang, The
Just like warm apple pie, this hits the spot

The Strongest Man in the World
I never thought Disney would endorse human, not just human but also student, testing.

Herbie Rides Again
In goes down in an exhaust of glory

Robin Hood
I’ll take this moment to bring up the Russell Crow movie coming up…

I don’t think it looks that great

At least from what I’ve seen

Now You See Him, Now You Don't
I’m actually rather impressed with Disney’s loyalty to actors *this casae being Kurt Russell again).

The Biscuit Eater
Stealing Moreover to be a pointer. Must complete against Silverbelle in a state championship. Sadly, my sentence makes sense.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Looks vaguely familiar… And racist

Million Dollar Duck, The
Does he split the duck open at the end, or does Disney not go quite that far.

The Barefoot Executive
Oooh, corporate success and dishonesty. I think I just found out what inspired our current predicament.

AristoCats, The
I think I might have saw this one

Smoke
I think this actually was an episode of The Andy Griffith Show

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
Kurt Russell as a genius named Dexter. Isn’t there a cartoon on Disney or Nickelodeon like that. Yay for 40 year old plagiarism

Love Bug, The
I must say though, Herbie is one of the few Live action Disney flicks that have become that well known.

The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit
A multi-tasking business who buys his daughter a horse and names him after the item he markets. Almost too practical for a business movie.

The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band
With nearly half a dozen descripters, it’s one of the longest titles I’ve seen
Commies

Jungle Book, The
One of the bare necessities that every kid should watch


Listening to
The Red Serpent by Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Bloggaday 35 – Fab B Talk on… Healthcare

Bloggaday 35 – Fab B Talk on… Healthcare


David Dysart presents:
In association with Geko Prod
And Jabroni corp

Fab B Talk on…

You can find the very first Fab B Talks on… only at http://www.youtube.com/user/DavidDysart#p/a/u/0/kaR8SGbuxmk
I suppose I could offer some explanation. Fab B is a character I created for my first podcast, The Davidian Cast. I’ll see if I can scrounge up some album artwork for it. This is the only episode I know for sure I did him on – 4 The Cult of Live Love Laugh http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/4-the-cult-of-live-love-laugh/id287931114?i=37399564


For the first episode, Fab B talks about my visit to get a physical. It’s rather amazing how your mind wanders after waiting over a half hour in the exam room. I suppose I should clarify. Neither I nor Kaiser Permanente endorse smoking. Don’t do it kids… I mean unless you want to look, like really cool or something.
I also got a Tetanus shot and H1N1 flu shot. From my understanding, flu shots can be painful, sore, become inflamed, yadayadayada. I’m not sure which one was which, but the one in my left arm hurt like a fabulousing fabulouser, so I’m guessing it was the H1N1. I got the shot Wednesday, and today was the first day it didn’t hurt. The shot I got on my right arm did hurt at all.
The shots do remind me of an incident years ago. I don’t remember how old I was, but I went to the hospital to get a shot. I’ve never been freaked out by needles, but this nurse was terrible. She got me all worked up and freaked out. “This is going to hurt, okay?” “You may want to hold onto your dad’s (I think I went with my dad) hand.” “You have to be a big boy, alright?” All kinds of crazy shiznit like that.
Once the WOrst and Mean/Angry Nurse actually jabbed me with the needle, it wasn’t bad. It was just a shot.
Oh well, that’s enough of jabbing and poking guys with long circular things. Enjoy Fab B. I intend on doing more videos.

Bloggaday 34 – Wii Whiteboard

Bloggaday 34 – Wii Whiteboard

Yesterday, I was trying to figure out where all of my space was a ton my laptop. I found out over 80 GB was located in my iTunes folders. A big contributor was my podcast folder. My biggest space sinks were Scam School, The 40 Year Old Boy, Scott Sigler and Ted Talks.
Hey, I haven’t even watched those TED talks! So, I started going through them. The first video I watched was “Creating tech marvels out of a $40 Wii Remote - Johnny Lee (2008)” I just can’t find it to give you the actuall URL, but here is the feed ad link to iTunes. http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_video and http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tedtalks-video/id160892972 .
When my dad saw these types of setups on a television show, he loved it. I decide to do this. I looked at the walkthrough at http://www.instructables.com/id/In-depth-Wiimote-Whiteboard-How-to/ and extrapolated my own walkthrough. The following is really just about identical to what is there, just a slightly different setup. All credit goes to them though.
I still need to go to radioshack and pick up the LED, wire, switch, and battery holder. After that, I’ll borrow a Wiimote from my niece or nephew, then I’ll give an update to how it works.

Before I get to the How to, here are some helpful links to do this yourself

I think I’ve seen this Halloweentown thing several times

Twas the Night
Not a positive review was stirring, not even that much

Emperor's New Groove, The
Stellaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Cruella could probably make a nice handbag with that extra Dalmatian. See, good things come to those who wait

Remember the Titans
I’ve got clash eyes when it comes to The Titans

Little Mermaid II, The: Return to the Sea
Mermaid Munchkins! … ?

Kid, The
The Myth, the Movie

Dinosaur
That actually looks familiar. I know I saw the Land Before Time movies

Whispers: An Elephant's Tale
Cover kind of looks like an elephant prison.

Extremely Goofy Movie, An
Waiting for the sequel, A Very Daffy Movie
Yeah, I know, I’m working on no sleep, a cold, a new nasal spray, and H1N1 shot coupled with a tetanus shot.

Geppetto
Disney and Nazi’s? I’ve got to get this movie, wait, Gestapo?

Mail to the Chief
A kid is an unwitting pinpal to the president. The Bush joke is a bit too easy, huh?

Air Bud 3: World Pup


Angels In The Infield
So many sports movies.

Toy Story 2
This was actually a prediction of Y2K.

Fantasia 2000
Toy Story 2 on illicit substances

Not a creature was stirring, not even a… what was the last word there?

Hailzno

I saw this. I remember them breaking the 4th wall

Tarzan
I don’t think I saw it, but I think it was one of the more dynamically animated movies they did.

Straight Story, The
That doesn’t look like a Disney movie at ALL

Doug's 1st Movie
Hmm, I used to watch the series, but I never knew about a movie

Endurance
The link is broken. Ironic, huh?

Smart House

See, now we’re getting into my Disney age. Didn’t this movie have bloopers and a guy playing checkers with himself?

Oops, spoke too soon. I didn’t even know they made a sequel to this. I guess it’s good to know that Disney was selling out when I was young too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

Mulan
Rouge?

My Friends Tigger and Pooh: Super Sleuth Christmas
It’s amazing how Edward Bear, a character Disney didn’t create is so much of cash cow for them

Meet the Deedles
Under a steeple, yelling, “Wee,” while kneeling and being He Men.

Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, The
A suite is much better than a suit

Knight In Camelot, A
A Whoopi in a castle hundreds of years ago. I’m guessing the assumption would make her a Moore from Northern Africa. Which makes her Muslim. I’m guessing the castle would have been catholic. Didn’t the Catholic hate the Muslims so much that they started something called the Crusades?

Mr. Magoo
They so should have had this guy play in Snakes on a Plane or atleast an Airplane parody of it.

Flubber
Hey, another movie I saw and have no real recollection of!

Hercules
Hmm, how do I copy and paste again? It amuses me though. When I was in… I would say… hmm… I’m just going to say elementary school some time, we had an educational traveling production come to my school. I was in a private, Christian school and they used a Greek background to teach us about water conservation and things like that. Well, before they started, they gave us all the disclaimer that they were going to use the term ‘gods’ and for us to not be offended. It was rather funny actually.

George of the Jungle
Wait a minute. Brendan Frasier played a caveman. Then he played a slightly more advanced jungle man. Frasier… Frasier Crane was a character in Cheers, not a bartender, but a bar man. Then he was a slightly more advanced city man when he got his own show where they focused on his education. Oh my gosh, its all an elaborate rouse to promote evolution!

Darn Cat, That
Darn? Well Shimany Crickets. Fudgsicles. Shut the front door. Cheese and crackers. Pig humping, son of a beach

Air Bud
… I said I wouldn’t comment on these movies anymore, but since this appears to be the original, I would like to take this time to say

Angels in the Endzone
This was a rather eye-opening revelation as to how manysports movies Disney has made

Muppet Treasure Island
I just figured the muppets out. They are old, unsuccessful movie stars. After their prime and with no regular work, they throw themselves into charity work, sponsored by their old movie studio.

101 Dalmatians
College-level class about dogs?

Hunchback of Notre Dame, The
Did this have a happy ending? I never saw it

D3: The Mighty Ducks
The 3D Tim… Sorry, I’m no good at anagrams

Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco
Sports and dogs. Disney’s money makers

James and the Giant Peach
Tim Burton without Johnny Depp? Liars!

Toy Story
This was pretty slick when I was young.

Tom and Huck
I never saw this in the last 15 years, a trend that will likely continue for another 15. I imagine I’ll renew the contract then

Big Green, The
You wouldn’t like this movie if you were angry

Kid in King Arthur's Court, A
“Calvin must learn to become a swashbuckling hero who fights villains and rescues damsels in distress. The only problem is Calvin is really just a regular ole kid from California who knows nothing about sword fighting and Camelot!”
How has this not become a standard with the prestige and sequels like Little Mermaid and Cinderella.

Operation Dumbo Drop
Can the star power of Danny Glover (of the Saw and Predator 2 fame), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Hannibal, and Blow), and Denise Leary (Rescue Me, Suicide Kings, and writer of Merry F#%$in’ Christmas) fail in a Disney Movie?

Pocahontas
When does she get her gold coin?

Goofy Movie, A
You get it? Because the main character’s name is Goofy. Oh Disney, why no more terrible pun titles?

Heavy Weights
Wow, fat camp? I didn’t know Disney tackled such heavy social issues. Pun intended. Ooo. Bun, Cinnabun… Oooo

Lion King, The
Okay, I think I’me finally getting into the staples of my childhood Disney. I would have been five when this came out. Though my brother and sister got a considerable amount of amusement from my rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh). It turns out, you are not supposed to in fact sing, “A winnar wack, a winnar wack.”

Santa Clause, The
Again, a good childhood movie.

Angels in the Outfield
Didn’t I just do Angels in the Outfield? Oh wow, that was endzone. I knew of this one, but not that one.

D2: The Mighty Ducks
Woo hoo, the last one. I don’t have to comment on a Mighty Ducks movie. Stay tuned for the last Disney Movie runthrough. If I can manage to read through them today or tomorrow, it’ll be the next Bloggaday.

Bloggaday 32 – An Avatar Cast Update

Bloggaday 32 – An Avatar Cast Update

Alright, so the cast of the Avatar Fan Cosplayer Cast is locked and messages are being sent out. I’ve got messages sent out to the, I guess evil half of the cast? I’ll try to get the other messages out today.
It’s rather amazing though. My current release schedule is to post the pictures and information of the antagonists next Friday. The protagonists would be the week after that. Then the Friday after that will be the entire cast all nicely presented. That last week include something I’ll put up on youtube, and if I feel like dealing with ourmedia.org, on the DJ Show podcast. I should probably add something to deviantart and theotaku.
Yep, I’m milking this project for as many daily blogs I can. I had actually intended to do another Disney Movie Rundown today, but I was rather surprised at the fact I have already received messages back. I have, of course, made an idiot of myself. My imbecility knows no ends, even when I do my best due diligence.
Honestly though, I didn’t think I would get responses very quickly. I figured by next week when I post the first half of the cast, I would be lucky to get a quarter of my messages responded to. But as I went on to http://www.cosplay.com/ , it actually tells you the last time the people were on. A vast majority had actually been on that day. Half of those who weren’t, had been on very recently, and the rest (I think 2) hadn’t been on in the last month or two. So it wouldn’t shock me if I get responses from a majority of the cosplayers by the time I actually start putting production value into this.
To beef up my wordcount, I’m actually going to post the form letter I sent out. All I had to do was address it with my best known name and who the cosplayed as and what links I plan on providing to credit them. Rather simple

Hello ,
My name is David, and I’m putting together a fancast of The Last Airbender comprised of cosplayers. When I came across your , I wanted to add it. The cast will go on my daily blog as well as youtube as some sort of image collage. I am writing to ask your permission to use your photos in this. I do not know how long it will take to receive permission from the people I am contacting, so if for some reason you wish to not be included and I have already posted the content, I will remove your portion of it.
Thank you for your consideration and great cosplaying. I will credit you with the following links and name. If you would like any of this information to be changed, removed, or some additional information included, please let me know and I will update my citation. You can reply to this message or email me at daviddysart89@gmail.com Have a great day.


Since that is 500 words, I’ll say goodbye until tomorrow.
