So 1970 was a part of the 60’s? That means that 1980 was also the 70’s Uh…wait…No its a new decade!!!

Um, I was there… and the first year had passed after Jesus birth and then they declared that year one. Case closed.

“Pwned on Camera will be joining forces with the gang from hawtness; this is bittersweet news. On one hand I’ll be able to join that playground of awesomeness, but on the other it means that Pwned on Camera will be no longer updating. It has been great fun and I had such an excellent time and a crap-ton of giggles. I hope you had fun too. I will see you over at Hawtness.”

Comment on How To Improve Walt Disney World Transportation by Gray

Gray — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:18:03 +0000

I LOVE the GPS idea! (In fact, I’ve often wished my local bus system would use such a GPS system, so I’d know if I had just missed the last bus or if it hadn’t come yet. Our buses are 30 minutes apart, so it makes a difference on a cold winter day. But I digress.) You’re right–the longer you have to wait or the longer it takes to get from point A to point B on property, the lower one’s satisfaction level with Disney transportation. (Especially when it’s late at night, and everyone’s tired and cranky, or when you have a dining reservation to catch.)

At the very least, there should be buses (maybe not as large as the park buses; maybe vans) that go directly from resort to resort. It’s so time-consuming to transfer, I always wind up paying for a cab.

Comment on The Worst Movie of All Time by web gangsta

web gangsta — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:55:50 +0000

Films that don't hold up well over time certainly qualify, especially if they were dated even before they were released. Case in point: 1983's Warrior of the Lost World. Definitely awful, especially the ("bad mothers") talking motorcycle, as they tried to go for the Mad Max vibe and missed completely.

Comment on The Worst Movie of All Time by Gorman Bechard

Gorman Bechard — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:24:08 +0000

OK…fair enough…as for what I would list as qualifiers…I don’t think I could make such a list because an aspect that makes one film bad, might make another great. (Over-acting for instance is a benchmark of Mel Brooks’ best works.)

I also don’t know if I could even name a worst film of all time. The worst film I’ve seen in the past decade, easily SEVEN POUNDS…because “death by jellyfish” (or at least as portrayed in the film) was just the silliest ending imaginable to a film that took itself way too seriously.

And many films that seem bad, are really just dated, and often times difficult to watch. I personally hate films that deal with cancer. Does that make them bad? No. I just won’t watch them.

You’re absolutely correct that while we here may not have cared for the film when we first saw it 20+ years ago, the film does have plenty of fans – as we also pointed out above. Thanks for the links showing the counterpoint.

Question: what would you list as qualifiers for “worst film”?

Oh, and no where does it claim to be a directors cut…it’s the first US dvd release, with hours of extras.

Now that I am used to checking out the website for movie reviews…I didn’t seem to see a review for Terminator. Now I am not super fond of the Terminator series…but I was hoping to read a review prior to seeing the movie this weekend (besides…my sweetpea…thinks I am so smart when I know more about the movie than he does). So help a girl out and get out there and see the movie before Saturday!!

Thanks!!!

Comment on Calculating Amusement Park Wait Times via Twitter by Steve S.

I could have used this tool when I was down there last year in June. Only the second week of June and those wait times got crazy. I’m using Twitter now for news and information about Walt Disney World as well as making friends.
