With the recent news that Scott Lang would be the Ant-Man in the upcoming Edgar Wright film in 2014 and Hank Pym passing the mantle to Lang, I got to thinking is this just Marvels way of keeping the darker themes out of their movies?

The MCU is known to be accessible to everyone and this has given them hundreds of millions of dollars from their movies and toys based on the movies etc. But news of Hank Pym just being the guy passing down the mantle of Ant-Man to Scott Lang and just being a secondary character, along with Demon …

The Secret World of Arrietty is another lush, visually enthralling classic from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Dubbed with great care by Disney and now on blu-ray with an amazing transfer, the movie springs to life. Based on the novel The Borrowers and written by the master Miyazaki, the look of the movie is quite stunning and full of vibrant life. The story also has a gentle message about respecting all creatures and beings regardless of their size or place in the food chain. Far from preachy, the movie is also just a fun adventure that bounces along from one great …

This happened outside the Tower Of Terror ride at the Disney California theme park (right across from it is Disneyland).  The guy seems to be drunk and I have no problem that the old security guard peppered spray the crap out of him.  Supposedly there’s undercover security everywhere at Disney’s theme parks but it sure took a long time for backup to arrive.  The guys at the end are probably undercover because they restrained the assailant pretty good.  The cops were called in and the assailant was arrested and released several hours later.

I just wished the female armchair quarterback was …

With all the Tebow hype that’s been going around, it was only a matter of time before Disney – I mean, ESPN, er Marvel – decided to come out with a Tebow comic book.  The studio(s) had this to say: “Like the Marvel heroes who pull off last-minute victories, Tim Tebow has fans around the world on the edge of their seats and believing that in our own lives when time is running out and all looks lost, we can dig deep inside and use our various strengths to triumph over insurmountable odds.” Not that I don’t get it.  …

D23 was the place to be for Disney fans of all ages.  There was a lot of hauling to do as plenty of Disney exclusive merchandises were sold through the event including vinylmations and toys.  Celebs came in full force including the actors of the Avengers and the Pixar crew shared their secrets behind their hit movies.  Lion King 3D also made its debut on Saturday night and it felt like a concert with the audience clapping after every song and memorable scenes.

While there was a lot to do for the 3 day event, I enjoyed the home video department …

That is an impressive looking dragon. The production cost for ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ is half of Spider-Man’s budget. Go figure!…

The description of the ride contains spoilers.  Even I didn’t read all of it because I want to be surprised.  The ride will have several scenarios so you never know what your experience will be.

Here’s the full description according to theforce.net:

“Opening #1:

You are stopped abruptly by Darth Vader and an entire garrison of Stormtroopers on your way out of the hangar.
