Anyway, some cool news: this blog now has a co-blogger, my very good friend Analyn! Welcome!! She already wrote a rockin' post below mine about the new Cheetah Girls movie so check it out!
Another piece of cool news: last night, I flew back into Boston and guess who was on my plane? None other than the folks from Metro Station! For those of you who may not know who they are and why they are relevant to Disney, they're comprised of Miley Cyrus and Mitchel Musso's brothers - Trace and Mason (as well as two others). It was kind of funny... either nobody recognized them or nobody wanted to go up to them, because they just grabbed their instruments and left with no buzz or anything. I would have gone up to them, but it was way too awkward. I'm not a huge fan, but I do like some of their songs, such as Seventeen Forever.
EDIT 5/20: So am I totally out of the loop on things; I had NO idea the Z100 Zootopia concert was going on this weekend in New York. Supposedly Metro Station was there performing... Saturday night! As in, the guys on my plane most likely weren't them. Maybe they were their backstage crew or something. I was so sure it was them! I mean, there were four guys, and they looked like the guys in the picture above... but unless Metro Station discovered how to be in two places at a time (which if so, they should really hook me up with that!) then the four guys on my plane probably weren't them. What a bummer. I am so crushed!
Maybe they have their own personal high-speed "metro station" that takes them to New York in like, a span of five minutes. Hey, it could be done... *thinks about that train that's going to run from Las Vegas to Disneyland*
Alright, I'm only kidding - in case you couldn't tell. :)
I also saw THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN on Friday. Overall verdict: pretty good movie. I personally enjoyed the first one a little better, though. The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe had more "magic" in it than Caspian did; Caspian was filled with way too many battle scenes and fighting. In fact, it was a little TOO violent for my taste; it was trying too hard to be like Lord of the Rings or even Gladiator. And let's face it, this is a PG-rated Disney movie...Also, I have only read The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe (not Prince Caspian) by CS Lewis but I do recall that the battle scene in TLWW was like maybe 3-4 pages max. It was all like "The Pevensies fought. With swords. They killed the evil guys. The evil guys died. The Narnians came back to life and all was happy again." Whereas in the movie, the battle scene was like 20 minutes or so long and super intense. Hmm...
But anyway, the kids grew up quite nicely... especially Edmund and Lucy. And what else is there to say about Prince Caspian himself? Even though I would have preferred a British accent, that Spanish accent was kinda hot...
Lastly, I leave you with this LOL-worthy video of the Cyrus family at the zoo back in 1997. WOAH THERE Billy Ray's mullet! It really was "business in the front, party in the back!" Was it just me or did he seem more excited about being at the zoo than his kids? LOL. And check out their mom's hair as well. I also admit that while I'm not a Miley fan, she was the most adorable little kid ever in this video... what happened?!
