The Feeny Call Lives On
Hopefully, 31 will be good.
As the last day of being 30 comes to a close, I’m reminded that I have so much more to learn and experience. I’m listening at every moment I can to try and gain a better grasp on the world around me. My dad always says the homework doesn’t stop at graduation, it’s just that the homework simply takes different shapes.
Truth.
Speaking of advice, it seems only fitting to feature the greatest series finale message in TV history. The final scene of Boy Meets World below is edited for the final life lesson by Mr. Feeny because of its relevance to going into the unknown world, but also because it’s still difficult to watch the scene in its entirety without tearing up.
Mr. Feeny, you always have our attention.
Here’s to a good year a year of good.
Happy Boomerang Thursday!
The initial “throw” was great, now time will tell if its return “back” to the cinema will meet expectations.
With its already existent universe (technically, its land and world), Disney is set to be one of the biggest winners of the year with the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December. And remaining in the spirit of popular franchises and movies being rebooted, Disney just revealed the latest surprise in their magical portfolio at the D23 Expo 2015.
Will this adaption match the original from 1977? Realistically, no. But the hope is that it will be a fun and worthy second chapter in the movie’s warm, captivating story.
It’s fair to presume that if this asset gets out of containment, it will bring only imaginative happiness to the characters and audience alike.
When Tomorrow’s Future is Today
The day has finally arrived for movie patrons to escape into what looks like the best of what Disney’s imagination has to offer in the live-action, George Clooney starring cinematic adventure, Tomorrowland. Ever since the first teaser trailer, this new world has captured our attention. The story appears to be based in and surrounded by all the glorious things we dream of when we think about what the future holds, like flying cars and jet packs, crazy awesome technology and hoverboards (sorry, wrong movie).
Here’s a quick glance into what tomorrow holds.
George Clooney, yesterday’s leading man, is tomorrow’s star.
Trust me, it makes sense.

Having finally watched 2013s, Saving Mr. Banks, which is the story of how the literary favorite “Mary Poppins” finally made its way to the silver screen in 1964 with the entertainingly fascinating steel cage struggle between author P.L. Travers and Walt Disney and his team of upbeat music-writing gurus, one can easily become inspired by Walt’s magical kingdom. Revealed in this cinematic journey is the incredible (and surprisingly unknown) back story of how one of the most popular and highly-regarded Disney films of all-time came to be.
But fear not, no spoilers here. The mention of this movie simply serves as the springboard to reminiscing about a beautiful short-film animation that plays before the 2012 animated feature film Wreck-It Ralph, courtesy of the Disney genius we’ve all come to love.
Just embrace the randomness (though the connection makes sense if you think about it).
Despite living in the midst of the digital era, it’s a pleasure to re-introduce Disney’s, Paperman:
Here’s to hoping for a little magic and wishful thinking today.
It is 11/11 after all…
