Chalk this up as something that only I would get excited about, but while browsing Amazon last night I made a shocking discover. Ernest movies on Blu-ray! I was a huge Ernest P. Worrell fan growing up, and Ernest Scared Stupid is one of my favorite movies to watch around Halloween (see previous article), so getting in in HD for $5.99 sounds good to me.
It looks like they’ve released Ernest Goes to Camp and Ernest Goes to Jail separately for the same price, or together for around $9. No sign of Ernest Saves Christmas (review) sadly, but I think I’ll live.
These are the kind of things I get excited about. Obviously I have problems.

If you listened to the second episode of Bubble Pipe Theater, you know we were geeking out about Disney’s 2012 animated movie Wreck-it-Ralph. It’s an animated movie set in the world of multiple video games and will include some real-life video game characters, so you can imagine why we’re excited.
Over at Jim Hill Media, they’ve got some images and new details from Disney’s presentation at D23. One tidbit I was happy to read involves how the look of the film will vary depending on which game the title character is in:
” ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ will actually have a number of different art directions. As our title character moves from his original 8-bit game to a more modern shooter game, you’ll see the art direction of this movie change. Likewise when Wreck-It Ralph moves to the world of an elaborate kart racing game, you’ll see the art direction of this movie change yet again,” Moore explained.
Head over to JHM to read the rest, and let us know what video game characters you hope they include in the movie.

Ok guys, I’m going to say it. Jurassic Park is my favorite movie. Ever. I always have a tough time finalizing any kind of a top five or top ten list, but I’m always confident that Spielberg’s dinosaur extravaganza is the movie that makes me most happy. I’m already super excited that Jurassic Park on Blu-ray is finally a reality this year, but now I’m even more giddy.
The chance to see my favorite movie on the big screen again has me so excited I can’t stand it. I will be there and I’m going to drag as many Top Hat Sasquatch team members along with me as I can, you can count on that.
Also, I’m super excited that this will give me an excuse to have a Jurassic Park themed episode of Bubble Pipe Theater soon.

Disney just held the second ‘D23 Expo’ this past weekend in Anaheim, their membership-based fan event, and released a ton of info on upcoming movies. We weren’t able to make it (mark my words, next year) but a lot of blogs have been doing a great job of summing up the news. To make it easy to find out what was announced, we’ve compiled all the biggest stories into this roundup. I’m sure we missed something, but everything here is pretty awesome. It definitely sounds like Disney is doing a good job with these conventions.

I know, I know. It’s not technically Pixar, but come on Lasseter, you’re turning into a bit of a hypocrite. Remember the John Lasseter that stormed into Disney when he took command and cancelled all the horrible direct-to-DVD sequels and spin-offs that were in production? Wha’ Happen?
