Aladdin ain't nothin special.

I can't think of it now, but there's some Disney song out there that when I sing it, I always end up slipping into Under the Sea at some point.

Pocahontas has some nice cuts too.

The "Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?" bit is fantastic.

And you can paint with all the colors of the wind....

My daughter watched 'Soul Surfer' on Apple TV yesterday. The bits I saw as I wandered past seemed like they would amount to a pretty decent movie.

You know I keep hearing people in the film industry bemoan how "the mid-budget movie" has disappeared and that only huge-budget and micro-budget films are being made these days, yet almost every movie in the top 10 at the US box office right now was budgeted around $30 to $60 million.

Isn't that micro-budget these days?

I keep hearing that the mid-budget film is making a comeback. We're listening to different things.

No, Annabelle is micro-budget - $6.5 million.

I think the people I'm listening to are just bitter filmmakers who are upset that their own mid-budget films are not being financed. The reality is it's probably just because their projects suck and no one wants to see them.

What's Bret Easton Ellis have to say on the subject?

I think that should be a new category. That's way smaller than micro-budget.
