I could not be happier about this pairing. I had high hopes for the *Star Wars* franchise now that it is in Disney’s hands.

Major Changes might be Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

When I was at Disney World earlier this year, it felt like Hollywood Studios was due for an update. I am glad to hear rumors that it is next in line to get one.

Possible Plans for Avatar Land Leaked

I think this could be cool. I **do not** approve of them having to shut down the *Festival of the Lion King* to make it happen though. Hopefully, any re-location of that show will only take a few weeks.

Arrow gets a Full Season from the CW

I hate the CW for sucking me in with all their little DC Comics easter eggs. For example, the villain of the week this week: Deadshot[^fn1].

[^fn1]: I feel like I should get out my old _Secret Six_ comics in preparation for watching it.

Happy October 19th from the Cast of Community

Really great promo. It really is too bad NBC has jerked around with this show as much as it has.

Google to boycott French media sites if country passes law requiring search engines to pay for news content

So ridiculous. I hope France passes the law and I hope Google just drops all French publications from their search results. It would be another solid lesson on the “law of unintended consequences.”

Ebook Refunds Coming from Amazon

I ended up buying a lot of ebooks because of these price increases. It looks like I might have had that extra cost refunded if I actually had bought them.

The Marvel Heroes MMO will be Completely Free

So what is their business model? Do they hope people will play the game and then go buy more Marvel comics or watch more Marvel movies? Whenever I see that a game is “free,” I just assume that means that it is littered with little “add ons” you can buy to “enhance your gaming experience.” I really hope that is not the case with this game.

Watching The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium on your TV

Roku allows for native viewing[^fn1].

[^fn1]: On an interesting note, their recommendation that you use an iPhone or iPad with Airplay to view it on your AppleTV makes me think that they will have a non-Flash streaming option for iOS devices.

Revolution gets a Full Season from NBC

I have not watched a single episode, and everyone I know who has watched it says its very mediocre. Still, I am always pleased when a sci-fi show gets picked up by a network.
