Walt Disney: Public Menace

Look at this picture:

Cute right? Good ol' Walt Disney playfully sticking up a stage coach full of kids at Disneyland. You know why he's grinning like that? I'l tell you, this isn't the first time Walt has pulled a gun on someone.

Hopefully those kids made out better than this guy:

Yup, there it is. Walt Disney beating an unidentified man senseless with the back of a gun on a roof top. Don't forget Walt was born in Chicago, birthplace of organized crime in American. We all know Elias moved the Disney's out of Chicago in 1906 to escape all of the big city crime. Was this the truth or was he moving 5 year old Walt away from his childhood gang?

Well, after spending a few years in Marceline away from all of his gangster friends Elias thought it was safe to move the family back to the city, and this is what happened.....

Alright, this is obviously a joke, here is the whole picture:

Hey, we still don't know who this guy is though. It kind of looks like Ub. Maybe Walt enjoyed watching himself beat people up? Maybe he just needed to make this guy an offer he couldn't refuse..

The Blank Check House

After the success of Home Alone movie studios did not waste anytime copying the formula (kid outsmarts bad guys). While the worst offender was probably Three Ninjas, Disney was also guilty with Blank Check. They even used it as a selling point! I saw Blank Check in the theater, I remember because it was the only time in my movie going life that the theater manager came out and talked to us about how the movie was filmed in Texas (which is where I live). So, on a recent trip to Austin, I stopped by the Blank Check house. Here is how it appeared in the film: And today: As you can see, they've done quite a bit of remodeling. Not to mention the heavy plant growth which makes it almost unrecognizable. The old garage door is now a window The original entry way has been completely removed. This is the front door now: I drove around to the side and found the back gate open. In the film, the back yard had a pool, go cart t

Jumanji Film Locations

While I was in New Hampshire last week, I stopped in Keene to take some Jumanji comparison shots. Let's start at the beginning of the film. In the opening scene Alan Parrish rides his bike past a statue of his ancestor, Angus Parrish. I had been to Keene once before and knew there was a statue in this square, so I assumed they just attached a fake plaque to it, I was wrong. They built the prop statue on top of this rock fountain. Why not just use the existing one? Here's another statue screen shot. It almost looks like they tried to brush out the actual statue in the opening shot from the film. . This Parrish shoes ad can be seen briefly in the film and appears in the back ground of the second statue picture I posted. Here it is today. Moving onto the stampede scenes. Turns out Frank's Barber Shop is still there too. So is this old coke mural Run Kirsten! Stampede!

Tales From The College Program: Getting Fired. Part 2

Getting my job back: Since Rat Face had gone as high as possible to get me fired, I decided to do the same when trying to get my job back. Ed Backlor was the VP of Downtown Disney at the time, I decided to email him. A day later I received an email from Djuan Rivers (who I just discovered is a Disney big shot now ). Ed was out of town and had forwarded my email to Djuan. We arranged a time for him to call me the next day. I was pretty nervous as a sat there staring at my phone waiting for him to call. I didn’t know where the conversation would go. Djuan was very friendly, he had read my email and asked me some more questions about the firing. I left out the part about how everyone eating for free so I wouldn’t get anyone else fired. He told me the typical “well, I know it’s not a lot of money, but if everyone gave away $3.25 worth of food, it would really hurt the company.” He said I could reapply with Disney in 6 months and when I did I would most likely be as
