The Three Caballeros
The Three Caballeros (1944)

IMDB rating: 6.60

Plot: A large box arrives for Donald on his birthday, three gifts inside. He unwraps one at a time, and each takes him on an adventure. The first is a movie projector with a film about the birds of South American: Donald watches two cartoons, one tells of a penguin who longs to live on a tropical isle and the other about a gaucho boy who hunts the wild ostrich. The second gift is a pop-up book about Brazil. Inside is Ze Carioca, who takes Donald to Brazil’s Bahia for a mix of animation and live action: the two cartoon birds sing and dance with natives. The third gift is a pinata, accompanied by Panchito. A ride on a magic serape takes the three amigos singing and dancing across Mexico. ?Ole!

Do you think it's offensive for the "It's a small world" ride @ Disneyland to have ethnic characters on it?
Why in Hades would they change it to include this:
2009 Renovation
Though open during the fall 2008 and Christmas season 2008, from January 2009 until February 2009, Disneyland Park’s "It’s a Small World" attraction was closed for a major renovation.

During this time, 29 Disney and Disney/Pixar Characters were added[5]:

Mulan and Mushu from Mulan
Cinderella, Jaq and Gus-Gus from Cinderella
Woody, Bullseye and Jessie from Toy Story 2
Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio
Alice and the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland
Aladdin, Jasmine, and Abu from Aladdin
Ariel and Flounder from The Little Mermaid
Lilo and Stitch from Lilo and Stitch
Peter Pan and Tinker Bell from Peter Pan
Simba, Pumbaa and Timon from The Lion King
Donald Duck, Jose Carioca and Panchito from The Three Caballeros
Nemo and Dory from Finding Nemo

Isn’t this taking "political correctness" to new heights?

I think you’ve got your offense switched around.

The Small World attraction is about world peace, with all the children of the world coming together. It is, according to its original design, supposed to embrace all the world’s ethnicities and cultural differences.

The recent inclusion of Disney characters, supposedly made to keep the attraction "relevant" to today’s audience (like world peace isn’t relevant?), is what many people find offensive. The inclusion shifts the ride’s focus away from world peace and how we’re all very similar despite our differences and instead turned it into a character hunt.

One argument is that if Walt Disney had wanted to include Disney characters he would have put them in there since he oversaw the creation and design of the attraction in 1963. Another cynical view is that this was a thinly veiled attempt by Disney to sell more plush character dolls.

This was probably the result of one person finding it offensive.Offensive lol.

After Sex

After Sex
After Sex (2007)

IMDB rating: 6.00

Plot: AFTER SEX is an edgy relationship comedy that uses sex as a background to examine intimacy and vulnerability. It’s a humorous, yet honest look at the complexity of modern day relationships told through nine separate couples. Through witty dialogue and compromising situations, the film takes us from the beginning of a relationship to the aftermath of one, and examines every stage in between while somehow finding humor within the drama, heartache and confusion of it all. What is learned about human emotions and vulnerability is enlightening and entertainingly sexy and fun.

The sheriff in Columbia, Tenn., said James Michael Tait, 58, was having sex with horses, our television news partner reports. A farm owner there was also was charged with animal cruelty.

Police said four years ago Tait videotaped another man having sex with a horse on the Enumclaw farm. That man later died of internal injuries suffered during the act.

I just have one question WHY didnt they do anything more to this idiot when they had him in their custody how stupied now the freak is living 30 min. away from me here in TN….This is appauling and gross and the thoughts that we have some known freak in my town is just crazy, if he had been punished when he first got found out maybe he would have gave up his fettish which I mind you is illegal here in Tennessee (thank-goodness). Humans never seem to amaze me as to what they will do and to what they will do it too !!!!!

they say if you our in europe and email
oyisofirewalker@yahoo.com

he has native indian cermonys in luxembourg is that true?


This is what I can find on the internet about him, and somehow I get the feeling that he might do some stuff but that he is not the person you hope him to be.

Watch out. There are many people who try to be a guru like person, or who try to look more interesting then they really are. I am not saying he is not, but most people who say that they are spiritual leaders are actually full of b*llshit.

Recommend a movie for me to watch tonight? Ideally about victorian london but love other suggestions?
I’ve got flu so i’m forced to stay in tonight instead of going to my mates party. Going to order a takeaway and watch a dvd :) I just watched Sherlock Holmes and loved it and I was wondering if anyone new of any other action films that centre on victorian london? Other examples of what I looking for would be League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or Dorian Gray. I know i’m being very specific!!

If not, I love period films, such as The Duchess and Gosford Park and action films with humour such as Snatch. Any suggestions? Favourite film to watch on a night in?

Sorry for being weirdly specific but I just have no idea what to watch. Thanks lovely people!!


The count of Montecristo
The other Boleyn girl
North and South (this is a British mini series)
Frankenstein (the one with Helena Bonham Carter)
Van Helsing
Brotherhood of the wolf
Pride and prejudice (again, a mini series with Colin Firth)
Lost in Austen (yet another mini series)
Vanity fair
From hell (with Johnny Depp)

lotus | Dec 31, 2009


Some of my favorite movies: The Dark Knight, Batman (1989 first film), Austin Powers (first film), Lords of Dogtown (takes place in the 70s), Yes, Man (such a funny movie, its great!) Casanova (starring Heath Ledger, such a great movie, I think this would be a period film)
Not | Dec 31, 2009


In an hour I’m off to a pub to meet some mates.

"And??" I hear you say

The Pub I’m going to was featured in the costume drama Sense and Sensibility, (with Hugh Grant) and coincidentally I’m in the scene where it was used but only as an extra, couple of takes, but one in the village (town) square where I’m across from the market.
(The building opposite in the scene 03:07 was also used in the BBC series To the Manor Born, as the village store/post office)

I know, I’m such a ‘Film Extra Bore’ :-s
hope you get better soon
Sobchak | Dec 31, 2009


From Hell; Victorian drama focused on Jack the Ripper. Also try other Sherlock Holmes stories; Hounds of the Baskervilles, A Study in Scarlet the Sign of Four, Seven Per Cent Solution, and Young Sherlock Holmes.

Oh, and Mrs. Brown, about Victoria’s late life ?romance?

Hope that helps.

Should I just vote for democrat next elections since they are more anti-war?
Because republicans as much as I love their inner policies like border security, tax cuts and ant-abortion laws, I am almost certain and can bet money on the fact that if they get into office their will be a war, probably with Iran.

81% of Americans don’t want a war, with 16% not convinced that Iran has the courage to make weapons and be a threat. Yet Guys like John McCain, Dick Cheney and others are very serious about attacking Iran.

I am anti-war and for peace, I don’t believe in Preemptive wars (especially after Iraq) because we kill based of pre-judgment, Its like a large scale abortion as far as I’m concerned. And Republicans don’t want to talk with Iran and rejected any offer from Iran as they "don’t negotiate with evil".

What ever happened to decent republicans like George.W.H. Bush who said after Iraq invaded Kuwait and was asked to attack them and overthrow Saddam Hussein: "the human cost would be too large to bare".

Will their ever be an anti-war republican?


I know for a fact that an anti-war Republican is running against the incumbent Democratic congressman in my district. Though most Republicans remain in favor of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

If the wars are that important of issues to you, and you feel strongly about them, then by all means, vote Democrat.
Dok | Feb 04, 2010


And you think Obama sending 45K troupes to Afghanistan is against war? Are you serious?

I guess you could really be a guy who likes Ron Paul, who was against the war from what I recall.

Would you be able to provide a link to support your 81% who don’t want "a war"?
I do not want any war any time, never again. But, that is what I want and not what I know in my heart has to happen right now. It’s kill or be killed, I feel.
Do you really want to sit back and watch more and more 9/11s happen to us as that is what you are asking for. Good luck with that, my friend.
It’s not so easy to call all republicans people who like wars, we cry at military funerals we hate it all just like anyone else. I say we, as I am a former republican. I am actually now a registered Independent. I do not like to associate with either party right now. But, I know the republicans well and they are not what you think on the surface. You have been listening to the wrong people, I think.

When I first saw the Movie"The Lost Boys"I just loved all the Tracks being played in that Movie.

can’t think off hand of a first one but i think the best last track ever in a film was the Stones Sympathy for te devil played at the very end of Interview of a vampire .It was a perfect end to the movie, so apt. That song has been used a lot in the movie industry but never so perfectly in place as it was in that film.
NUTTYTART | Jan 31, 2010


I completely agree with Marks answer.

Another one that comes to mind is Little Green Bag used near the beginning of Reservoir Dogs.

The Chronicles of Riddick movie question?
Are you supposed to watch the movies Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury before watching The Chronicles of Riddick movie? Just curious, thanks!


The movies were made in this order: 1) Pitch Black, 2) The Chronicles of Riddick, and 3) The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. Having seen the first two but not the third I can only say that you should watch them in the order listed above but due to the fact that the content in the first two had nothing to do with each other you could probably watch them in any order.

benboxer61 | Dec 26, 2008


i’m not 100% sure but i wouldn’t think so. it might help if they’re related but movies aren’t made to where you have to see a bunch to understand. it might help though
marinelove9999 | Dec 25, 2008


yeah sorta

i dont think dark fury is really necessary since its animated and is only meant as a bridge between pitch black and COR
but i do think it’s necessary to see pitch black before COR because one follows the other and there are characters in both movies so if you dont watch one you wont get the other. also there are things that are said and eluded to in the 2nd one that have already taken place in the first one that, again, wont be fully understood if you dont watch the first one.

You don’t have to because there is a little flashback about the bald girl turns to a beautiful girl which Riddick wants to save.
