MF – RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

ok. my other blog is where i usually bitch and moan about life and what not. but i feel compelled to note here that i am freaking out just a little about the imminent mousefest 2008! now, i feel kind of silly about this, especially since i have spent much time extolling MF to my bff and saying how much fun we shall have etc., etc., etc…

but, truth be told, i am nervous! this is our first foray (is that how you spell that?) into the podcasting/fan community as “celebrities” (thats the MF term, people, not mine!!) as opposed to “fans” or perhaps “wondering stalkers”. WE are having meets! WE are having a table! WE will have to talk to people!!!! EEEEK!!!!

of course i AM excited beyond belief, but it is tinged with some nervousness as well! if you see me, prepare for endless lisa chattering and the flapping of limbs – oh wait! thats me all the time… actually, i will probably be standing stalk still (or is that stock still?) with bulging eyes.

again, my first words at the last, my first, MF (after lurking around the outskirts of the tomorrowland noodle terrace for about 30 minutes) were “I AM COMPLETELY FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW”

so if you see me, please say hi… oh, and i am super super bad at names, even when calm, so, like when i am freaking my brain will be god knows where..

in spite of all that….. see you real soon??? oh.. and i am completely freaking out right now!!!!

if it werent for jennifer i would not have won carl kassels voice on my home answering machine!

 

ok. i did NOT win carls voice, but, with knowledge gleaned straight from the informative site of my bff i COULD have – and thats what matters!! this weeks “not my job” segment on the wonderful “wait! wait! don’t tell me!” (that i saw taped live earlier in the year) is completely devoted to the mouse! listen to this weeks show here, or, for the aforementioned section (with the HOT tiki barber!!), listen here!

also, am i wrong or does it seem like whomever wrote this segment surely must have a love for a certain disney podcast, or is that just wishful thinking??

old friends i get to see again!

recognize any of these happy faces??

 

guest (ghost) post – review: chihuahua!

TRACE J. (AKA 999GHOSTS) KINDLY DID THIS REVIEW OF BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA FOR THE D-LIST. ENJOY!

After my Sunday morning run I found myself bored, craving movie popcorn (hold the butter) and with thoughts of Mousefest dancing in my head I needed some EFFIN’ DISNEY in my life and I needed it NOW!! Not that my house doesn’t look like Neverland Ranch on a lower budget. I swear this need was hanging over my head like a pack of migrating spider monkeys on a quest for the golden banana of Mara. Do not gaze into the eye!

Ok, so I yell out to the boy get dressed and brush your teeth. Yes, at the age of 15 I still have to inform my 15 year son to brush his teeth. I do not get it. Out the door we go for a snack and drink run. Diet Pepsi for me, the local movie theater of choice is coke products only. Just like the Disney theme parks, barf! The boy turns to me and ask, “Dad where are we going?”. “Well son that does like to brush your teeth we are going to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

The boy states he is not pleased with the choice and wished he would have brought his Game Boy. The boy knows his Father is a Jedi-Master-Badass-Disney-Dork and it was due time to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua while it was still on the big screen.

I will be honest. My Manhood felt a little in question when I looked at the girl in the box office and said, “two for Beverly Hills Chihuahua please and thank you”.

I went into this movie with very low expectations. I think I was more excited that I might get lucky and see a new Disney preview/movie trailer before the talking dogs in clothes that cost more than mine. There was a Bolt sneak peak! Very cool, I have my tickets to see Bolt in 3D this Saturday with all my local Disney friends, Dallas/Fort Worth NFFC Chapter. On a side note in March I was given a personal tour of The Disney Studios Feature Animation in Burbank California and was shown Bolt “in the works”! It was a dream come true to sit at a Disney Animators desk and watch scenes from Disney Feature Animation Features yet to come!!

The movie starts with the Disney logo and I’m so in Disney mode. The first of the movie I thought I was watching “The Dog Wears Prada”. High Fashion of the Highest Order! Chloe the lead actress/dog was voiced by Drew Barrymore. It was hard to “buy” Chloes’s voice, I could only hear Drew. I would liked it if Chloe was voice by Salma Hayek. You can take the Chihuahua out Mexico but you should be able to take the Latino out of the Dog. I’m just saying.

I will say now that I really enjoyed this movie! It was funny, sweet and a great family film! My son and I shared a lot of laughs together and that is what it is all about. Beverly Hills Chihuahua reminded me of Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco, which is a good thing.

Once Chloe finds herself accidentally lost in the mean streets of Mexico without a day spa or Rodeo Drive is to me when the movie became fun. Chloe runs into street dogs, an iguana and a rat. The iguana’s animation was worth the price of the movie. During the movie in my head I did hear the dead voice of Sid Vicious cover Iggy Pop’s I wanna be your dog. Papi (voiced by George Lopez) properly executed what I refer to as the “Maggie Maneuver“. Papi went for a henchman’s nose and hung on. (sorry Lisa).

Spoiler Alert!!! The entire movie I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the BIG Chihuahua song and dance musical entertainment extravaganza we all have come to love from the movie trailer. I’m sad to report the song and dance is not in the movie! I stayed until the lights came on in the theater and I did not have the pleasure of, “Chihuahua”.

If you are going to be a Mousefest please come up and say Hi!!!!
