8. Oh em gee stahp.

6. Those are fairly odd details, but okay.

5. Coming soon to Discovery.

4. Or, you know. What the rest of us were thinking.

A Company Sued Disney for a Slogan Used in Frozen 2

There has been no shortage of successful Disney films this year. That success has translated to billions of dollars for the movie-making titan. In fact, seven of the ten top-grossing films of the year are Disney flicks, and Frozen 2 is well on its way to joining the mix…for now.

According to a TMZ report, Disney is facing fire for its use of the “Trust Your Journey” slogan made famous by its latest offering in the Frozen franchise. Apparently, a Nevada-based company “formed as a result of a personal fight and victory over breast cancer” is fighting for its share of the Frozen 2 profits.

The TMZ report states that the slogan has been in use for more than a decade, and the company has utilized it on a variety of clothing, jewelry, mugs and other merchandise. And that merchandise has been sold at Cracker Barrel and QVC. In fact, according to Trust Your Journey, it has sold nearly $4 million in merchandise over the years.

That sure is a staggering amount of money for a small company. Of course, it pales in comparison to the $924 million Frozen 2 earned in less than a month in theaters worldwide. The film has drawn excellent reviews, including a 92 percent audience score on the popular review website Rotten Tomatoes.

Disney did not respond to TMZ for a comment, so it remains to be seen if Trust Your Journey will be successful in its financial quest or if it’ll be frozen in its tracks.

10 Facts About “Clue” the Movie

Clue is having a resurgence with a new movie and tie-in novels, and I, for one, am happy to see this cult classic return for new audiences and a new generation.

That said, even if you’ve loved it since you were a kid (*raises hand*) there are probably a few things you don’t know about the original.

And you’d be sorry if you missed these 10 facts.

10. The characters’ cars match their names.

View this post on Instagram

Last night we had dinner early, and watched the movie Clue. It is such an 80’s classic – 1985 even, halfway through, peak 80’s, – – My son had never seen the movie before, by our choice, because there is some annoying sexual content. He absolutely loved the surreal humour in Clue, and was, as predicted, annoyed by the sexism, but overall he really enjoyed it. It was fun to watch, I used to watch it all the time as a kid! “Let us in! Let us in!” – “Let us out! Let us out!” – – – We used up a bunch of leftovers and had a Frankenstein dinner, as usual about once a week. Son said that he’d never look at the board game, that he’s played for years, the same again! It was a fun night ? Also, yesterday I went 9 hours, pain free, which was great reason for us to celebrate! – – #familylife #avm #avmsurvivor #cluethemovie

A post shared by Erin Summers Rosen Norman (@rosequeen3_) on

If you’re super observant, you’ve probably already noticed that as the motorists are stranded at the beginning next to cars the same color as their names. Neat tidbit!

9. Carrie Fisher was the original Miss Scarlet.

She entered rehab the day filming was supposed to begin and was unable to work out a schedule that worked with her treatment schedule.

8. Lesley Ann Warren couldn’t sit down in her costume.

Miss Scarlet’s dress required boned corsets, which meant Warren had trouble sitting or really even moving. If you watch her on screen, you’ll notice her leaning on the sets instead of sitting – it makes you appreciate her acting ability even more!

7. Tim Curry was their third choice.

Curry’s iconic role as the butler almost wasn’t – Leonard Rossiter was the first choice (he died) followed by Rowan Atkinson.

6. Madeline Kahn improvised one of the film’s best-known scenes.

All that was written in the scene where Mrs. White talks about how she hates Yvette is “I hated her so much that I wanted to kill her,” so the famous riff involving the “flames on the side of my face” gem was all Madeline Kahn.

5. Colleen Camp really wanted the role of the Maid.

Everyone from Jennifer Jason Leigh to Madonna was interested, so Camp went the extra mile and showed up for her audition in costume.

4. You should recognize the Singing Telegram Girl.

She’s the guitarist for the Go-Gos – Jane Wiedlin – in her first film role.

3. The writers expanded Mrs. White’s role once Madeline Kahn was cast.

She was already a comedy legend, thanks to Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles, so they were smart enough not to waste her talents.

2. There was originally a 4th alternate ending.

The director claims he doesn’t remember what the 4th ending was, only that it wasn’t working no matter how they tweaked it, but it involved a scheme by Wadsworth to poison everyone.

1. The pacing was inspired by the success of His Girl Friday.

The director screened the film for the cast before they began shooting, hoping the rapid-fire dialogue would inform their own creative choices. The actors complied, doing their best to copy the clipped, quick delivery.

 

I just can’t wait to take in all things Clue!

What’s your favorite alternate ending? I know you have one!

People Share the Horror Movies That Fully Traumatized Them…Let’s Take a Look

When I was 8-years-old, I stayed home sick from school and was all alone in the house. My older brother had rented a movie the night before, so I decided to spend my sick day watching The Evil Dead…

Oh boy.

It totally traumatized me but also gave me a love for horror movies that continues to this day.

People shared what scary flicks traumatized them and left a lasting impression. These responses come to us from the Buzzfeed Community.

Let’s see yours in the comments!

1. Burnt Offerings (1976)

“It’s this movie from the late ’70s that no one’s ever heard of for some reason. It’s basically about a family rents a large estate one summer and a whole lot of weirdness goes down. It will mess you up for life.”

2. Evil Dead (2013)

“This remake was so terrifying that I couldn’t finish watching it the first time. It took me a whole year to gather up the courage to try watching it again.”

3. The Hitcher (1986)

“It’s been way too long since I’ve seen this, but it still terrifies the crap out of me!”

4. Night of the Living Dead (1968)

“My grandmother had 80 acres in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. I saw this movie when I was 5 or 6 years old and was terrified to sleep in that house at night because it seemed like the perfect setting for those zombies. It still creeps me out.”

5. Tusk (2014)

“I thought it sounded like a funny premise, but it kept me up the whole night and bothered me for weeks. I’ve watched a lot of horror movies. I don’t know what it is about this one, but it absolutely haunted me.”

6. Child’s Play (1988)

“I was nine and Chucky somehow reminded me of my American girl doll. I had to put her away in my closet every night so that she wouldn’t stare at me with her huge eyes and buck teeth trying to plot my death while I slept.”

7. Arachnophobia (1990)

“I watched this when I was a kid and I haven’t had a worry-free shower in 16 years.”

8. The Descent (2006)

“This is the most disturbing, gory, hopeless movie ever made. I legitimately wish I could erase it from my brain.”

9. Phantasm (1979)

“I saw it when I was about eight and — although I had already seen other horror movies because my parents were huge horror fans — this movie was the only one to give me nightmares. To this very day I get apprehensive around undertakers, especially if they are tall and wearing a dark suit.”

10. Hereditary (2018)

“I went and saw a late night showing of this with a friend, knowing absolutely nothing about the film. Then, when the trailers for new movies started playing and they were all scary movie trailers, I knew that we were in for a ride. We were terrified!”

11. The Witch (2013)

“I watched this one night randomly at 3 AM because I couldn’t sleep and I love witch movies. It scared the heck out of me! It reminded me of the movie The Village, but scarier. It seemed so real. I will never watch it again!”

12. I Spit on Your Grave (1978)

“I can deal with a ton of violence and gore, but Lord, the sadism in that movie was off the charts.”

13. The Entity (1982)

“If you haven’t seen it, be thankful. I saw this when I was 10 and it is no less disturbing to me in my 40’s. Most horror movies nowadays don’t bother me, but maybe it’s because this one desensitized me.”

14. Funny Games (1997)

“You can’t make a list about movies that mess you up without mentioning this one. My friend and I watched the original German version. I thought I was going to throw up and made my friends turn it off.”

15. The Strangers (2008)

“This should definitely be on this list. I watched it back when it first came out and — to this day — I won’t answer the door if I’m home alone (unless I’ve ordered food, of course).”

In 1974 the 1946 movie…

In 1974 the 1946 movie “It’s A Wonderful Life” fell into public domain because the studio failed to renew it’s copyright. As a result, it was aired a lot, which explains why it became so popular even though it flopped in theaters. The studio got rights to the movie again in 1993.
