A Visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum

Earlier this year I joined Disney’s D23 on an impulsive whim. Sometimes I am given to these flights of fancy and usually pay for it, literally in dollars, soon thereafter. However it has only taken me 6 months to see a return on that investment: admission for 4 to the soon-to-be-opened Walt Disney Family Museum at the Presidio in San Francisco. This visual/architectural/technological/audtorial spectacle is sure to be the destination of many a pilgrimage from the time it opens this Thursday October 1st.

There are countless Disney fanatics who can (and probably already have) go into great detail about anything and everything, including ‘easter eggs,’ found in each of the museum’s 10 galleries. I am not that person, but I will do my best to try! As they would not allow cameras of any kind inside, and I had to rush through due to my tickets being for the last timeslot of the day, my memories will have to suffice.

Oldman reveals next Batman villain?

Movieweb has an excerpt from an interview with Christopher Nolan and Gary Oldman on a panel for the upcoming The Dark Knight. Oldman was asked if he thought, considering Ledger’s death, whether the Joker might return. His response revealed not only his opinion on the matter, but also the potential identity of the next big Batman villain in the (inevitable) third film.

The Descent 2 spoilers (aka The De2cent) via script analysis/synopsis

Not mine, but you can read ScriptDirect’s highly-detailed coverage of The Descent sequel’s screenplay HERE. While I have many gripes with the original film (namely all the parts with uh, talking), I was absolutely wowed by Neil Marshall’s direction.

The screenplay is credited to James Watkins (My Little Eye) and will serve as the feature debut of Jon Harris (Editor on The Descent, Stardust, Snatch)
