Disney Thursday
First off, this guy pogo did this amazing electronic remix thing of audio from Disney's Alice In Wonderland.
Check out the video for the song.
Also check his Last.fm page for some other similar songs.
Second, Los Angeles Magazine is running a behind the scenes piece by one of the actors who played Pirates of the Caribbean's Jack Sparrow in the Disneyland park.
"Disney wanted us to tone Jack down, so they put us through an acting class to discover reasons why Jack walks and talks the way he does. Obviously he is based on Keith Richards, who's always messed up, which is why they came up with the class. "Don't be flirtatious," they told us. "See women as trouble." And they said as far as alcohol goes, don't even mention drinking. But the Pirates of the Caribbean song is all about drinking, and they're drinking all along the ride. So I eventually broke that rule, because it would have taken me out of character. When parents took pictures, I'd say, "Everyone say 'rum,' " and the parents loved it. The kids would just ask, "What's rum?""
It's a short, definitely recommended read. Kinda makes me wanna go to Disney this summer.
