Smart marketing move by Pixar.
By distributing content on a media that has a much shorter development cycle it will keep their properties in top-of-mind and helping to minimize the advertising budget when a new movie is ready for release. Check the link below.

Pixar Teams Up With Boom! For Comic Spin-Offs
‘Merica, here is my tribute to Bernie Mac.
To my chagrin when I first listened to Bernie Mac on the Original Kings of Comedy tour, he cursed like crazy (I never knew him from Def Comedy Jam). He let it flow like water from from a faucet man! It rubbed me the wrong way. BUT, his routine was drop dead funny. Then came the Bernie Mac Show and I saw a different side to him. To me he did not lose his edge, it just cut a different way. He was probably the first black entertainer who started a serious “conversation” with white America. I think this element more than anything else made his show incredibly special. It brought uncomfortable elements of black culture to the forefront and Bernie Mac let it rip. It felt so real. Ilke i heard him say in an interview with Terry Gross, the idea was not to have “punch-line comedy”.
My heart goes out to his family and his closest friends as they mourn his loss. But as I said to someone yesterday, he got to do in his lifetime something that most of this earth’s inhabitants only dream of doing…. to do what one loves and make a great living from it.
Bernie Mac, I will miss you - RIP -
Naming the Animals

Naming the Animals
by Anthony HechtHaving commanded Adam to bestow
Names upon all the creatures, God withdrew
To empyrean palaces of blue
That warm and windless morning long ago,
And seemed to take no notice of the vexed
Look on the young man’s face as he took thought
Of all the miracles the Lord had wrought
Now to be labeled, dubbed, yclept, indexed.Before an addled mind and puddle brow,
The feathered nation and the finny prey
Passed by; there went biped and quadruped.
Adam looked forth with bottomless dismay
Into the tragic eyes of his first cow,
And shyly ventured, “Thou shalt be called ‘Fred.’”
Tyson…fighting things fists can’t hit.
Cannes Review: Tyson - Cinematical
I’m pretty sure this may never make it to State College, but this is one documentary I most definitely will see. His life to me is a study in human nature on so many levels.
