Pirates of The Caribbean - It's What's on Your Mind

[marypops!]

OMG! Lemon curd is one of the greatest things ever. I could totally just eat it from the jar (just put some in a microwaveable pancake. Brilliant!)

 

[marypops!]

OMG! They kissed! Then my computer froze up. Stupid Shockwave Flash!


I just realised I've used "OMG!" in my past three posts. Wow, it's not really an acronym I use often as well.

 

[wicked.witch.of.wdw]

Not only did Terrance Zdunich write, direct, produce, and star in Repo! and look GORGEOUS doing it, he also drew the comic strip backstory things. AND I just found out he based his character off a combination of David Bowie and Danny Elfman circa Oingo Boingo.

HOMG. He really is the most amazing man on the face of the Earth and I am madly in love <3

 

[marypops!]

Mercedes' song was amazing, but not "Regionals worthy" according to Will. Hell to the no!


LOL! Brittany's favourite song is My Headband!

 

[marypops!]

Ellie ate really old hot dogs. Although in hindsight, I have no idea why we hadn't thrown them away yet. They've been in the back of the cupboard for years!

 

[I Am What I Am]

You don't. Charizard is the only thing you will ever need in your life.

Except against Water and Rock. Then I have my Victribell on hand. But that's honestly all I use XD Just Trogdor and Audrey II, the most awesome monsters ever!

I don't even know why they felt the need to add the other 596 Pokemon. You only need two!

 

[marypops!]

Birth By Sleep is quickly becoming my favourite Kingdom Hearts game. Most of the worlds are new, the idea of playing all three characters stories, which all intertwine and stuff. The battle commands are pretty cool. All new enemy. So on and so forth.

According to Will, NOTHING is Regonials worthy. "Hell to the No" was awesome and he knows it.

A Charizard and something to wreck anything Fire is weak against. All else is pointless.

That's the only KH game I haven't been able to play, and it sounds AWESOME. *cries in a corner*

I wish in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl you could avoid the grass.

Those damned Bidoofs.

I would suggest you rent a PSP and get the game pronto! Although one thing that annoys me is the load times. You can solve that by downloading part of the game onto the memory stick, but my memory stick has too little memory on it (I have a 32MB stick, and the minimum amount you can download is 200MB), so I end up waiting about a minute for new areas to load.

Oh, I also like how each story feels new in different ways. I've played as Ven, and now playing as Terra, and each character interacts with different people, they go to different locations within the world, and it's interesting to see how the stories connect. I might start playing as Aqua as well before finishing Terra (I still haven't finished playing Ven, because I'm stuck at Neverland) so I finish the stories of the princess worlds.

Oh, another thing that annoyed me was that Ven took the place of Gus in Cinderella's world. How does that even make sense?

"Gravity Falls" (new animated series)
This animated comedy tells the story of twins Dipper and Mabel – two city kids sent to spend the summer with their crusty old great uncle Stan (aka Grunkle Stan) in Gravity Falls, Oregon. Turns out, Gravity Falls is not a run of the mill vacation spot, but is a strange and wondrous place - home to every weird creature and phenomenon imaginable, from gnomes to time portals to quantum waffles. Created and executive-produced by Alex Hirsch ("Fish Hooks"), the series is a production of Disney Television Animation.

That actually sounds pretty awesome.

"ANT Farm" (new series)
Set in San Francisco, this comedy revolves around China Parks, an 11-year-old musical prodigy who attends a high school as part of the prestigious ANT (Advanced Natural Talents) program. She, along with her fellow ANTs, Olive and Fletcher, must find her place and make the most of her high school experience despite the decidedly lukewarm welcome from some high school students, including China's older brother, Cameron, who overcompensates to avoid his sister's shadow, and overachieving Lexi Reed, who doesn't appreciate the competition China represents. Starring are China Anne McClain ("House of Payne"), Sierra McCormick ("Ramona and Beezus"), Jake Short ("Shorts"), Stefanie Scott ("Flipped") and Carlon Jeffery ("Heroes"). Recurring are Finesse Mitchell ("Saturday Night Live") and Elise Neal ("The Hughleys"). "ANT Farm" was created by Dan Signer ("The Suite Life on Deck," "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody") and executive-produced by Signer and Stephen Engel ("The Big Bang Theory," "Mad About You"). It is from It's A Laugh Productions, Inc.

Meh... It'll be one of those shows I'd leave on if I couldn't be bothered to change the channel or something.

"Jessie" (new series)
The sitcom "Jessie," starring 17-year-old actress and fan-favorite Debby Ryan ("The Suite Life on Deck," "16 Wishes"), follows a starry-eyed teen from rural Texas who moves to New York City to explore life outside her small town. She soon finds herself living in a multi-million dollar penthouse as nanny to a high-profile couple's four children, one of their imaginary friends and a pet capybara. As she navigates life in the big city, Jessie finds allies in the frosty butler, Bertram, and the 20-year-old doorman, Tony. The pilot was written by Pamela Eells O'Connell ("Family Matters," "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," "The Suite Life on Deck"), who will serve as the series executive producer. It is from It's a Laugh Productions, Inc.

Wow, this sounds awful!

"Madison High" (series pilot)
Multi-talented teens Mark Indelicato ("Ugly Betty"), Nolan Sotillo (Disney's feature film "Prom") and Katherine McNamara (Broadway's "A Little Night Music") join the previously announced cast, Alyson Reed ("High School Musical"), Luke Benward (Disney Channel's "Minutemen"), Leah Lewis and G Hannelius (Disney Channel's "Den Brother"), in the music and dance-driven comedy pilot "Madison High" (working title) under consideration for Disney Channel's schedule. Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush ("High School Musical" and its sequels) and Lester Lewis ("The Office") and Paul Hoen ("Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam") are the executive producers. The pilot was written by Lester Lewis and is being directed by Paul Hoen. It is from Autumn Harvest Productions, Inc.

This was described as "Glee with original songs". I guess I might watch it if I liked the songs...

"Frenemies" (movie)
This Disney Channel Original Movie is an anthology that follows three pairs of friends as they navigate the delicate balance when besties go to worsties, and back again. It is slated for a 2012 premiere. Written by Dava Savel, Wendy Weiner, Jim Krieg and to be directed by Daisy Mayer, the movie's producers are Les Morgenstein and Bob Levy. It is a production of Alloy Entertainment.

...No thanks.

"Geek Charming" (movie)
Sarah Hyland ("Modern Family") and Matt Prokop ("High School Musical 3: Senior Year") star in this Disney Channel Original Movie, a coming-of-age tale that explores the dynamics of high school popularity and its social hierarchy. Based on the popular young adult novel by Robin Palmer, the movie was written by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy and will be directed by Jeffrey Hornaday (choreographer of "A Chorus Line," "Flashdance"). The executive producers are David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman (both of "The Muppets," "The Fighter," "The Proposal") and Paul Shapiro ("Detroit 1-8-7"). It is a production of Mandeville Films and Television.

Doesn't sound too interesting to me.

"Kickin' It" (new series)
In this live action comedy, the owner of the struggling Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy, the worst dojo in the nationwide chain of underperforming dojos, recruits a hotshot skateboarder to teach his students, a ragtag group of neighborhood kids, about life, karate and how to just plain kick it. Starring are Jason Earles ("Hannah Montana"), Leo Howard ("Leo Little's Big Show"), Mateo Arias, Dylan Riley Snyder (Disney's "Tarzan" on Broadway), Alex Jones and Olivia Holt. The series was created by Jim O'Doherty ("3rd Rock from the Sun"), who also executive-produces it with Marc Warren ("That's So Raven"). It is from It's A Laugh Productions, Inc.

That doesn't even make any sense! Why recruit a skateboarder to teach karate? I'll give it a miss.

"Ultimate Spider-Man" (new animated series)
The centerpiece of an upcoming Marvel programming block on Disney XD, this animated series from Marvel follows Peter Parker who, as the storyline begins, has been Spider-Man for just one year. He's fought villains, saved lives, but still has much to learn about being a super-hero. Now, Nick Fury gives Peter the chance to go to the next level -- to train to be a real super-hero and become The Ultimate Spider-Man. But before he can do that, Peter will have to learn how to work with a team of fellow teenage super-heroes. The series' award-winning creative team includes Paul Dini ("Batman: The Animated Series," "Lost"), the creative powerhouse Man of Action Studios (creators of "Ben 10" and "Generator Rex"), comprised of lauded creators Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle; and Brian Michael Bendis (visionary behind Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man comic series).

I'm not really a fan of superhero cartoons, so I'll end up missing this as well.

"Motorcity" (new animated series)
This animated series is set in a futuristic Detroit owned by evil billionaire Abraham Kane. Having banned personal freedoms including automobile transportation, Kane now faces one last obstacle, a group of hot-rod wielding rebels who call themselves The Burners. Led by Mike Chilton, The Burners rise to stop Kane from conquering Detroit’s last oasis of freedom – an underground refuge dubbed Motorcity. The series, created by Chris Prynoski and produced by Disney Television Animation and Titmouse, Inc., is slated to premiere in winter 2012 on Disney XD. The voice cast is Reid Scott, Nate Torrence, Kate Micucci, Kel Mitchell, Jess Harnell, Brian Doyle Murray, Jim Breuer and Mark Hamill. It is executive produced and directed by Chris Prynoski ("Metalocalypse," "Megas XLR," "Downtown"). Craig Lewis ("Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends") is the story editor and John O'Bryan ("Avatar: The Last Airbender") and George Krstic ("Star Wars: Clone Wars") are staff writers.

Sounds pretty cool actually.

"Tron: Uprising" (new animated series)
This visually stunning series, scheduled to premiere in fall 2012 on Disney XD, focuses on an era of the "TRON" storyline that transpires after the 1982 feature film and before the story in "TRON: Legacy." Its impressive list of artists, animators, directors, producers and digital technicians includes executive producer/director Charlie Bean ("Robotboy," "Samurai Jack," and "Powerpuff Girls"), and consulting producers Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz (both screenwriters of "TRON: Legacy" / executive producers of "Lost") and Justin Springer (co-producer of "TRON: Legacy"). The series will be preceded by a 10-part "TRON" micro-series launching in winter 2012 on Disney XD. The voice cast includes Elijah Wood, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Nate Corddry, Lance Henriksen, Paul Reubens, Reginald VelJohnson and Bruce Boxleitner.

Woooo! TRON!

"Doc McStuffins" (new animated series)
The doctor is in… and she will launch the 24-hour Disney Junior channel in 2012. "Doc McStuffins" is an imaginative animated series about six-year-old Dottie "Doc" McStuffins, who communicates with and heals stuffed animals and toys out of her backyard clinic. The series will highlight the importance of taking care of oneself and others, while showcasing the hallmarks of great Disney storytelling – fantasy and wish fulfillment. The Hollywood Health & Society division of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center will serve as the health and medical consultant for the series, advising on core health issues that are relevant to young kids and families. Emmy Award-winning writer Chris Nee ("Little Bill") is the creator and executive producer and Emmy Award-winning Norton Virgien ("Rugrats") is the director. "Doc McStuffins" is a production of the Dublin, Ireland-based Academy Award-nominated animation studio Brown Bag Films ("Granny O'Grimm," "Give Up Yer Aul Sins") in association with Disney Channel.

Sounds a bit odd really. Do the stuffed animals talk or something?

"Oki's Oasis" (new animated series)
The first animated western for preschoolers, "Oki's Oasis" stars Mandy Moore (Disney's "Tangled") as the voice of Oki, a kitty cat sheriff in the town of Nice and Friendly Corners, the friendliest town in the West. With the help of her deputy woodpecker, Peck, Oki makes sure the town stays "nice and friendly" and when trouble comes a-calling, she makes sure it doesn't stay long. The series imparts social skills and lessons on the value of being a "good neighbor." Produced by George Evelyn and Denis Morella, it is a production of Wildbrain Entertainment.

That sounds pretty adorable. Also, did Mandy Moore sign some sort of animation deal with Disney? She's also listed as a voice in the TRON cartoon.

"Sofia the First" (new animated special and series pilot)
"Sofia the First," a full length animated special and series pilot, set in the storybook world of the classic Disney Princesses, introduces Sofia, a little girl with a commoner's background until her mom marries the King and suddenly she is royalty. Sofia is whisked off to the castle, where she learns what it means to be a real princess, discovering empowering lessons about kindness, forgiveness, generosity, courage and self-respect. With the help of the three familiar fairies in charge of the Royal Training Academy – Flora, Fauna and Merryweather of Disney's classic "Sleeping Beauty" – Sofia learns that looking like a princess isn't all that hard, but behaving like one must come from the heart. The writer is Craig Gerber ("The Pixie Hollow Games") and the executive producer/director is Jamie Mitchell ("Special Agent Oso"). It is a production of Disney Television Animation.

I wouldn't watch it, obviously, but it sounds like something the little girls would like.

"7D" (new animated series pilot)
Creators, including Walt Disney himself, have long been inspired to access classic folk and fairy tales… reimagining, reinterpreting and reinventing them for new generations. The animated series pilot "7D" takes a new creative approach to the beloved Brothers Grimm tale of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," reimagining it in a comic and contemporary storybook world. The new music-filled stories introduce the whimsical world of Jollywood, where the kind-hearted Queen Delightful calls upon the 7D – Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy and Doc – for assistance. Emmy Award-winning Tom Ruegger ("Animaniacs") directs the pilot written by Craig Shemin ("Tasty Time with ZeFronk") with character design by Noah Z. Jones ("Fish Hooks"). It is a production of Disney Television Animation.

Sounds weird. If it's a reimagining, what happened to Snow White? Also, Queen Delightful? Can't they choose a better name? Wait a minute... The director is linked to Animaniacs? Must watch!

"Minnie Bow-Toons" (new animated short form series)
This new short form series was inspired by a popular episode of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" that focuses on Mickey's #1 gal, Minnie Mouse, and her friend Daisy Duck and is set in Minnie's Bow-Tique (which stocks only bows and bow-ties). Scheduled for a 2011 premiere, it will be followed soon thereafter by a full-length series that takes place at Minnie's Bow-tique Hotel and follows the comedic happenings as some familiar guests, including the Hippo from "Fantasia," check in. On any given day, Minnie acts as hostess, party planner, chef, fashion consultant, riding instructor or tour guide, with Daisy taking on the role of a very chatty front desk clerk. Clarabelle is a cow of all trades, taking on a number of jobs – bellhop, maintenance worker, pool attendant, juice bar attendant and room service waitress – all for which she is completely ill-suited. "Minnie's Bow-Toons" is produced by Kate Boutilier and Eryk Casemiro ("Olivia") and directed by Robert Ramirez ("Can You Teach My Alligator Manners?"). It is a production of Disney Television Animation.

The hippo from Fantasia is a familiar guest? Couldn't they of chosen a more well-known character (to young kids anyway) than that? Anyway, couldn't really care about this show.

I watched Glee the other day purely because they covered a Hey Monday song.
Eh, they did it okay. They could've been better.. I don't think their voices suited it that well. But I'm probably just biased and think no one would be able to sing it as awesomely as Cassadee and her A+ voice.

 

[marypops!]

Cat's back on heat. I swear she's done that on purpose. She was supposed to go and have an operation to spay, or neuter, or whatever, tomorrow. Now she can't have it...

Jessie: Sounds pretty bad, surprised they have Debby Ryan though.

Madison High: Not really a fan of that kind of stuff.

Frenemies: Sounds like something like a book for girls.

Geek Charming: Don't really care.

Kickin' It: Don't really care. Probably watch it to see what it's like.

Ultimate Spider Man: No thanks.

Motorcity: KEL MITCHELL IS IN THIS?!!?! Whatever happened to him?!?! I'll check it out.

Tron: Uprising: I didn't even see the new Tron yet.

Doc McStuffins: Sounds cute.

Oki's Oasis: Also sounds cute.

Sofia the First: Don't really care.

7D: I don't really know about this one.

Minnie Bow-Toons: Sounds pretty good.

2 hours later, my powerpoint is nearly finished! Altogether, I've worked on it three or four days at school (so about two and a half hours), three hours yesterday, and two hours today- so far, plus about an hour of random work at random intervals.

Soooo... so far I've worked on this thing for about 7 and a half hours. I still need to link the youtube video onto it and my partner is writing the five comments for the blogs, so I've just got to add those in. And write the notecards. THEN WE'LL BE COMPLETE.

I BETTER BE GETTING A FREAKIN' 100.

Yeah, the project is that you have to make a myspace for a mineral. But you make it on powerpoint- so you just get screen shots and add in pictures and change little details to fit your mineral on Paint.
