'Alice in Wonderland': Even More Wonderfully Weird in Full-Length Trailer - Inside Movies

When the first trailer for Tim Burton's live-action take on Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' premiered at Comic-Con in July, it seemed like Burton had all the pieces in place for another goth-stained, Burtonesque classic: Mia Wasikowska as a 19-year-old Alice, Helena Bonham Carter as the diminutive, treacherous Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the rival White Queen, and Johnny Depp's orange-haired Mad Hatter bouncing manically in between them.

Discovery Island (Florida) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After its closing, Disney considered teaming up with the makers of the MYST video game to create a cutting-edge interactive experience to be called "Myst Island". Guests to the island would explore unusual locations and unravel a mystery about the island's previous inhabitants. This unusual attraction never got beyond the concept stage.

The island was the habitat of the last remaining dusky seaside sparrow before it died in 1987 [1]. The species was officially declared extinct in 1990. As of 2007, the island remains closed to the public. For residents at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground or Disney's Contemporary resort, you can see the shore of Discovery Island when riding the Cruisers or Launches to the Magic Kingdom or one of the other two resorts on Bay Lake. On the Cruiser or Launch riding between Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, tourists can also see Disney's River Country water park, which also closed.

In light of the previous post, someone PLEASE GO TO THIS ISLAND AND TAKE ME SOME PICTURES.

Thanks.

AT&T Responds to Fake Steve’s Operation Chokehold | Cult of Mac

AT&T has dismissed Fake Steve’s Operation Chokehold protest as an attention-getting stunt.

Fake Steve is calling on disgruntled AT&T customers to bring AT&T’s data network “to its knees” at 12 noon PST this Friday, December 18.

The action is in protest of comments made by a company executive that some iPhone users are using too much data. The protest started as a joke, but seems to have taking on a life of its own. Judging by comments on forums, Facebook and Twitter, people are planning to take part.

Hot Rod Lincoln Car Jump

In the early 1970's Kenny Powers, a Canadian daredevil, attempted one of the most idiotic stunts known to humankind. Powers tried to drive a rocket-powered and winged Lincoln Continental off a massive ramp and over the mile-wide St. Lawrence River and the border between Canada and New York state. The stunt cost an estimated $1 million and resulted in ... well, you've just got to watch the video.

River Country - The DIS Discussion Forums - DISboards.com

River Country was Walt Disney World’s first waterpark. It opened in 1976, and closed for the final time in 2001. Since 2001, the area has sat virtually *****turbed. The slides and pools remain in place.

Here is a map of how the park was laid out:

Here are some photos taken in November, 2009.

Thus begins one of the most fantastic threads and best examples of why the internet is @#%@#@# AWESOME. Disney + Urban Decay = Andrew's favorite thing ever. As much as I love the park, if it ever closed down and all fell in to ruins, I think it'd be one of the most haunting, exciting and beautiful places in the world. Don't tell my wife I mentioned closing down the parks though - she'd put the hurt on me.

Sam Adams Utopias | Uncrate

Meant to be savored and sipped at room temperature, Samuel Adams Utopias ($150) is only for the most daring of beer connoisseurs. The 2009 batch is the strongest yet, with a staggering 27% alcohol by volume rating (a standard beer is about 5%). The rich, dark, uncarbonated (and world's strongest) beer is brewed in small batches, blended, and aged in the Barrel Room at the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery, where you'll find only 53 barrels of the stuff. The limited-edition 2009 batch of Utopias is bottled in numbered, ceramic brew kettle-shaped decanters.

Tips, tricks and hacks to make Windows 7 more awesome | News | TechRadar UK

We're loving Windows 7: it looks great, performs well and is packed with so many small improvements that we'll soon forget Vista ever existed. But at the same time, it's important not to get carried away by the hype.

Windows 7 isn't perfect. In fact, it's not even close. Look closely and you'll find it has security problems, interface issues and gaps in functionality, as well as faithfully reproducing common Windows annoyances that have been around for a long time.

Of course, every operating system has its irritations, and you shouldn't let Windows 7's selection put you off upgrading. The key is to understand them. And that's why we've spent weeks with Windows 7, not only uncovering the problems it still contains, but also finding out exactly how to resolve each one.

The results will help enhance any Windows 7 installation – so make sure you follow our guide before you do anything else.

Did Prog Rock's Greatest Artist Inspire Avatar? All Signs Point To Yes - Avatar - io9

James Cameron spent years creating Avatar's floating islands and crazy dragons, and then an army of concept artists brought them to life. But maybe they had some inspiration from somewhere else? Like classic album-cover artist Roger Dean? Behold the evidence.

Chances are, if you've looked at a weirdshistic record cover by Yes, Asia or other bands, you've admired Roger Dean's paintings of surreal landscapes. If you've ever seen all good people turn their heads each day, then you're already a Dean fan.

God forbid Henry Owings, creator of my favorite music magazine Chunklet, actually reads me saying that I like Yes and thought this article was pretty funny. I'm trying to talk him into giving me/trading me something for all of the back issues I don't have so I can start a Wikipedia article, a Mefi post, and perhaps some sort of museum to the (sadly) now-gone magazine.
Of course, none of that really has much to do with the art on the albums, which is pretty... 70's. Yeah.

The 8 Most Hilarious Tracy Morgan Television Moments : COED Magazine

There’s no denying 30 Rock is still one of the best shows on television.  The writing is clever and the cast is hilarious.  But the main reason we watch 30 Rock is Tracy Motherf**kin’ Morgan. The dude was on Saturday Night Live for seven years, and he’s still killing it as one of the funniest men in America. His slightly slurred speech, almost nonsensical sense of humor and don’t-give-a-sh*t attitude isn’t for the feint of heart. Luckily for us, our hearts are made of lead and whisky.

30 Rock is one of the absolute hands-down best shows on Network TV right now. Tracy Morgan is about 78% of the reason why. Great collection of his funniest moments.

Why we should be eating horses instead of riding them - The Oatmeal

I'm not going to dance around the issue: I hate horses. I hate them.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Horses are kind. Horses are beautiful. Nations have been built on the backs of horses. All that.
You haven't seen the things I've seen, however. You haven't suffered at the hands of these terrible beasts. You don't know what horses are like because you've probably never owned one. Allow me to enlighten you.

I'm crazy. I'd eat a horse. Make me a horse hamburger right now. I'll eat it. Watch.

Robin Hood trailer

Few films earn my immediate attention like a Ridley Scott film... especially when the film involves horses, swords, and Russell Crowe in total gon'-f*ck-shit-up mode.

Below is the international trailer for ROBIN HOOD. And I think as we've all suspected from the get-go, it heavily recalls Scott's KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and GLADIATOR (and I don't know, there's even a little something of LEGEND there to me). The 72-year-old British director obviously knows how to make these types of films in his sleep, and oddly enough, I don't feel like it's become old hat yet. Watching a master craftsman do what he does best is a good thing.

"We are entitled to our own opinions; we're not entitled to our own facts," Franken said. "Benefits kick in right away."

EXCLUSIVE: Stray Cats Brian Setzer Collapses During Show; Fan Says: "He Looked Very Shaken-Up" | RadarOnline.com

Grammy award winner Brian Setzer is recovering in the hospital Tuesday after he collapsed during a live show, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.

The former Stray Cats front man was performing with his Brian Setzer Orchestra at the Isleta Casino Resort in Albuquerque, New Mexico when he fell ill about 20 minutes into the show.

Eyewitness Mike Anderson exclusively told RadarOnline.com: “He started his set at around 8pm and did three songs before he fell ill about twenty minutes in.

Seeing Brian Setzer perform with the Stray Cats was actually the very first concert I ever attended. My uncle Greg took me - I remember it being at the fairgrounds right outside San Diego. All I really remember about the show was that it was loud. Hope the guy pulls through ok.
