Disney may be trying to do better.

Disney Puts Tangled Live-Action Remake on Hold

After losing what will be hundreds of millions of dollars on the live-action remake of the movie, Snow White, Disney is holding off on the live-action remake of Tangled.  A problem with Snow White, was the decision to make several changes to the movie late in the production.  Re-shoots drove up the cost and made the plot less coherent.

Disney may be rethinking their approach to live-action remakes.

The EPA has a museum, and it’s about to be closed.

Lee Zeldin, E.P.A. Head, Shuts National Environmental Museum

On Monday, Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said he had shuttered the museum, which was inside the agency’s headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington.

Sparky won’t walk.

Sparky was never going to catch that squirrel, but I used that as an excuse to get him outside for a walk.  The walk went fine as long as Sparky was going downhill.  The weather was very comfortable, so I thought we could go for a long walk.  As Sparky was taking a whiz by the creek, I started up the big hill.  He wouldn’t budge. 

Sparky could accept that we were on a walk instead of killing squirrels, but we didn’t have to make this a death march.  Sparky thought I should be grateful that he would walk back to the house without needing to be carried.

Sparky wants to catch that squirrel.

Watching that squirrel, Sparky thought it would be a good idea to go outside and catch the squirrel. 

He was wide awake now.  Sparky wondered if the squirrel might try to escape up a tree.  He asked me to throw rocks at it or shoot it, so it fell out of the tree. Sparky was so adorable when he asked, I told him that I would. 

Two retired guys watching a squirrel.

Sparky napped for so long, I started listening to an audio book.  When he asked what the book was about, I told him it was about a squirrel that wanted to be a dog, and the squirrel is right there, on that tree.

Sparky thought we should keep an eye on that squirrel.  At least that roused him from his lethargy.
