Movie Buzz Even during the Golden Age actors and actresses still messed up their lines. They really weren't so different than you and I.

It all started with a doodle of a grumpy old man holding balloons. And ended with the most heart-rending opening sequence in the history of animation.
Politics Buzz MSNBC's Chris Hayes takes only a minute to politely enlighten The Daily Caller's James Poulos after Poulos questioned the Occupy movement's attempt at shutting down the NYSE.
Movie Buzz Just rip my heart out and stomp on it, Pixar. Surely even they wouldn't resort to something this heartrending. Thank God this is just the brain-child of Q4Nobody
The resemblance is uncanny! They're both really old and live in traveling houses, amiright? (Via Doctor Who Tumblr)

This means that all cartoons are real. Everyone can fly!
Faux trailer maestro Ivan Guerrero built this alternate reality trailer for Disney/Pixar's 'Up' out of clips from '60s-era family films to bring us a peek at the live-action version that never was.
Words of wisdom from the original voice of The Rent is Too Damn High party, Carl Fredricksen of Disney's Up. He's probably a karate master too. (via)
Culture Buzz So holding up the Leaning Tower of Piza is pretty cool… but there are plenty of other things you can use forced perspective for! Here are 24 cool pictures of people manipulating perspective to make some awesome photography.
This ring box modeled after Carl's house will go nicely with your “Up!” themed engagement photos. The only way to improve this would be if the ring looked like balloons.
Movie Buzz The most sickeningly adorable thing you'll see all day. [Ed. note: Doesn't this just make you want to get married, settle down, and find yourself an annoying talking dog for a pet?] (Via.)
Pogo (of Alice fame) composed this catchy tune using chords, bass notes, and vocal samples from Up. This oughta cheer you up, if you need some cheerin'.
Does Up still make you cry if voiced by Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino? Yes is my answer.
You didn't even realize that you wanted to, but now you can finally find out what happened to the two guys from Up who came to put the old dude in a home. Here's a wonderful new animated short telling their story from Pixar, which can clearly do nothing wrong. (FilmDrunk via Amanda.)
Movie Buzz To promote…er…celebrate the DVD release of UP, Disney released these dope ass old-school posters. That you can buy for $145 if you search hard enough. Instead, torrent the movie and print these out!
Here's the cute thing about the the house that maybe inspired Up : it's on risers. So it's actually kind of floating in real life. Who knows if it is the official house (the Pixar people won't confirm), but the idea is completely charming.
A set of alternative posters for Up, in the form of old ads, travel posters and public warnings. These are from artist Eric Tan, who worked with Pixar on a style guide for the movie.
This preview of upcoming 2009 movies ran during the closing credits of the Oscars last night. Sherlock Holmes! Public Enemies! Harry Potter! And also, Night at the Museum 2: 2 Fast 2 Museumy. I have been waiting for that one.
