About The Time The Epically Wonderful Paul Walker Anonymously Paid For An Iraq Vet’s Engagement Ring
(via Getty Image)
It’s always kind of uncomfortable writing about celebrities after they’ve died on the Internet because there’s a certain exploitative quality to it that doesn’t sit well. In fact, some of the tributes that came out hours after Paul Walker’s death felt a little dishonest, and I got the sense that some bloggers were in a kind of competition to see who could say the nicest things about Paul Walker and his movies, and in many cases, those bloggers and movie critics were the very ones who had maligned Walker as an actor throughout his career.
As Vince wrote on FilmDrunk, writing about celebrity deaths in the social media age can get really weird. Daniel Carlson, I thought, wrote the most honest, touching eulogy of Paul Walker on the Internet, and by being honest about Walker as an actor, he was better able to pay his respects to Walker the man. But all the words that the Internet has written about the generosity and kindness of Paul Walker this week were absolutely deserved, as the report below can attest.
A few years ago, Walker was browsing in a high-end jewelry store, where a man who had just returned from a tour in Iraq was looking at engagement rings with his fiancee. When his fiancee spotted a ring that she “really really liked,” her soon-to-be husband saw the $9,000 price tag and said, “I’m sorry honey, but I really can’t afford that.” After they left the store, however, Walker paid for the ring, the couple got a call to return to the store, and were floored to learn that the ring had been paid for by an anonymous saint.
The jewelry clerk was sworn to secrecy (and didn’t even reveal it to the couple), but in the wake of Walker’s death, she decided to tell the story, and a really sweet story it is.
Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, the studio behind Fast and Furious put a nice little tribute together for Walker and posted it to YouTube this morning.

PotterWatch 2.0: Harry Potter Construction Update (11/23-25/2013)
Welcome to the first installment of PotterWatch 2.0, Touringplans.com’s Harry Potter Construction Update. This recurring photo gallery series will follow the construction of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley in Unversal Studios Florida and other related expansion at Universal Orlando Resort. So grab your broomstick and sail with us to London!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley (Universal Studios Florida)
First up is Kings Cross station, departure point for the Hogwarts Express train to the other park.
A small section of train track is still visible between London and the Disaster! exit. Will this be blocked from view before opening?
The glass windows above the train station entrance are installed, and theming is progressing on the facade.
Looking a little further down the London waterfront, towards the entrance to Diagon Alley:
The Wyndhams Theatre facade, based on a famous West End location.
Grimmauld Place, home of Sirius Black:
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade (Islands of Adventure)
Hopping over to IoA, here a look at the limited progress made recently on the Hogsmeade train depot in what is currently Lost Continent.
The structure at the entrance of the path to the train station looks essentially unchanged from several weeks ago.
We’ll conclude with a look at demolition on the funnel cake stand in Port of Entry, which is being replaced by a Starbucks.
Rumor Roundup
We’ll close out this edition with a couple of the latest Harry Potter construction rumors. As always, rumors are for entertainment purposes only; take these items with a large grain of salt:
- According to online informant HateToFly, the Hogwarts Express trains have completed their first test voyage, successfully traveling from one station to the other. There is still much work still to do on the trains, especially the interiors.
- Exactly which vendors are involved in Diagon Alley’s E-ticket Gringotts ride is a closely guarded secret, but after interrogating several important industry players at IAAPA last week, I’m willing to wager a nickel on the following: the ride’s roller-coaster track is provided by Intamin (California Screamin’), the ride vehicles and/or linear induction propulsion system is by Premiere Rides (Revenge of the Mummy), and the special effect Kuka arms and motion simulator bases are by Dynamic Attractions (Soarin’, Forbidden Journey).

Batkid Saved Pitbull From The Joker On ‘Good Morning America’ Today
The Batkid world tour hit Times Square this morning, as 5-year-old Make-A-Wish superhero Miles Scott popped up on Good Morning America earlier today — in full costume, obviously — for a segment that recapped and briefly updated his story. Most of the video is nothing new, especially if you were following the story as it was happening a few weeks ago, but it’s still the most adorable thing in the world, and his dad said stuff like “This has kind of been like the after-party for him. Chemo … it’s all he’s ever known. He was diagnosed at 18 months. But this is kind of a way to celebrate that ending,” which is both wonderful and heartbreaking, so maybe carve out a few minutes and watch it if you have the time.
If you don’t have the time, however, allow me to suggest zipping ahead to the 4:45 mark, at which point young Miles is sent to save musician and noted carbonated beverage pitchman Pitbull from the Joker, after the supervillain locked him in the show’s green room. Now, if this were any other story, I would point out how absurd it is that the Joker’s big diabolical plot involved imprisoning a popular rapper in a comfortable room full of snacks and bottled water in a crowded building in the middle of New York on a Monday morning, or that maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad to leave Pitbull in there for an hour or two, but that would be a very silly thing for me to do in this scenario. Instead, I’ll just post the video and let you watch Batkid whup the Joker’s ass. As God intended.

Mark Sanchez Celebrates Buttfumble Anniversary With Cornrows
It was a year ago today that the Buttfumble was gloriously created on a Thanksgiving evening game in MetLife Stadium. The perpetrator of the Buttfumble, Senor Nacho Sanchez, has been mostly quiet this season on account of being injured since the preseason. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to be denied from being an embarrassment in some fashion. To that end, he’s now rocking cornrows. Who knew anyone would ever miss the headband?

Idris Elba Probably Isn’t Luke Cage, But He Was The Best Superman DJ (Pictures)
As much as we’d love to see Stringer Bell shouting “Sweet Christmas!” in the Luke Cage Netflix series, recent stories claiming Idris Elba was in talks with Marvel to play Cage are a based on a misunderstanding. In a recent interview with HuffPo, Elba said he “wouldn’t mind being the lead in a superhero movie”. When asked which superheroes he’d like to play, he said, “I don’t really have any superhero that I like. There was talk about Luke Cage at one time — I thought Luke Cage was a pretty interesting character. They were going to do it, but I don’t know what happened…”
Some outlets took that to mean he was in talks with Marvel for the role at some point and ran with the story. However, if you reread what he said, he only mentioned that there was talk about a Luke Cage movie, not that he was involved in any of those projects. Big difference between “there was talk” and “I was in talks”.
On a more interesting note, Idris Elba also mentioned he dressed up as Superman for Halloween, which is all the excuse we need to post these pictures of Idris Elba as Superman DJing the party at BOXPARK.

Every Season Of ‘The Simpsons’ Will Air On FXX (And Online Streaming!) Beginning In 2014
In a single decision, the once-confusing move of FX branching out into FXX has been justified: the Simpsons are going to…Namibia, I mean, cable syndication! According to Deadline, FXX “has landed the exclusive cable as well as VOD/non-linear rights to the longest-running comedy series in TV history in a deal also set to make TV history as the priciest off-network pact ever, expected to fetch at least $750 million, and the first one to include full digital rights,” which is a fancy way of saying: NO LONGER WILL I HAVE TO DEAL WITH MY LOCAL FOX AFFILIATE ONLY SHOWING EPISODES FROM THE PAST THREE CRAPTACULAR SEASONS.
Also, “full digital rights” = online streaming via VOD = never leaving the house again. Goodbye, social life.

Here’s a dolphin having sex with a headless fish corpse set to spy music
This video of a dolphin having sex with a headless fish corpse isn’t especially movie related, but I think you’ll agree that the way the editor set the video to James Bond-y spy music is very cinematic. And anyway, I’m trying to realize my goal of being the number one Google result for “masturbating dolphin.” God willing. I’ll need your help, each and every one of you.
In any case, it appears to be some kind of river dolphin, which uploader Alexandros Malikides says he filmed at the zoo with his family, sticking its penis in a headless fish carcass, which if we’re to judge by the dolphin’s face, is an act that is immensely pleasurable. As commenter Donkey Hodey once opined, “Dolphins kill for fun and sexually abuse lesser species. They’re like the redneck of the sea.”
Thanks to Uproxx’s animal rape expert Robopanda for the tip (via I09). (Although, is it still considered rape if the animal is already dead? Discuss.)

Clever Classic Movie Posters Designed With a Minimalist Grid
Jaws (1975)
Polish artist Michal Krasnopolski has created a wonderful series of minimalist movie posters for classic films that are each based on a very simple grid. The grid consists of “a circle and two diagonals inscribed in a square.” His full collection of 26 posters are available to purchase online from Society6.
It surprised me how many posters I could create based on this very simple approach. There’s an enormous strength in simplicity; the fewer elements, the more we engage our imagination.

Morning Links: Waldorf From The Muppet Show Went To A Jets/Sharks Game, Probably Hated It
“Hey, the Winnipeg Jets aren’t half bad!”
“No, they’re ALL bad!”
“ho ho ho!”
In the tradition of the adorable Steve Stamkos groupie and that dead Flyers lady with the puck in her face comes the latest exceptional NHL fans, this one in the form of a guy in a Waldorf mask at Sunday’s Winnipeg Jets/San Jose Sharks game.
If you don’t recognize the name, Waldorf is 1/2 of that condescending old man team that sat in the balcony during ‘The Muppet Show’ and made everybody feel like shit for trying. I can only assume Statler was in the bathroom. Here’s the mask in action, followed by our morning links:

The New Hobbit Movie Is Almost Here, So You Know What That Means — Bilbo’s Going Back To Denny’s!
As you may recall, last year Bilbo and friends sold out in truly spectacular fashion, allowing the dark wizards of salt and saturated fat at Denny’s to attach their names to vaguely vulgar sounding dishes like “Radagast’s Red Velvet Pancake Puppies” and “Gandalf’s Gobble Melt”. Considering the scorn heaped upon the first Hobbit menu, you’d think Bilbo would be reluctant to throw-in with Denny’s again, but then again, this is a guy willing to wake a dragon to line his pockets. Bilbo is a greedy motherf–ker — don’t ever let him tell you different.
And so, in the spirit of greedy motherf–kery, the second Denny’s Hobbit menu!
Yum yum! I think we need to examine some of these food-like items in greater detail!
Netflix Has Announced Four Original Series Based On Marvel Characters
In step number twenty-seven of Disney’s thirty-four step plan to be associated with every form of entertainment ever, Marvel has announced they will develop at least four original series for Netflix, with an initial focus on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, followed by a The Defenders miniseries.
The four, thirteen-episode series will start streaming in 2015 and will culminate with “The Defenders” miniseries event about a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters. The deal is Marvel’s most ambitious foray into live-action storytelling. (Via)
If you check your birth certificate, you’ll see that Disney actually owns you, too. Anyway, two things: 1) It’s peculiar that Jessica Jones will get a show before DC’s Wonder Woman, and 2) please, please, please hire Casey Affleck to play Daredevil. Sick one of your hired goons on him, Disney. After all, you own him/all of us.
BREAKING: JON HAMM “APPEARS TO BE GOING COMMANDO (AGAIN)”
THIS IS NOT A TEST. THOUGH SHE TRIED HER BEST, JON HAMM’S GIRLFRIEND JENNIFER WESTFELDT HAS NOT SUCCEEDED IN FORCING JON HAMM TO WEAR UNDERPANTS. IT IS CLEAR THAT HE IS ONCE AGAIN GOING COMMANDO ON THE SET OF MAD MEN. I REPEAT: IT IS CLEAR THAT JON HAMM IS ONCE AGAIN GOING COMMANDO ON THE SET OF MAD MEN. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER HE HAS RETURNED TO HIS OLD NO UNDERPANTS WAYS FOR GOOD, OR WHETHER OT WAS ONLY ”FOR THIS PARTICULAR WARDROBE CHOICE AND SCENE.” FROM E!:
The 42-year-old actor was spotted walking around the Mad Men set on Thursday, Nov. 7, in Los Angeles and opted to skip his underwear for this particular wardrobe choice and scene.
The always dapper star, who portrays Don Draper on the AMC hit series, was sporting light gray formfitting dress pants, which, if we’re being frank, showed off his package.
Accompanying the slacks, he wore a white crisp dress shirt, a black tie and a black belt. His hair was slicked back and he was holding his phone.
Hahahahaha. My favorite thing about having to read garbage all day for work is getting to the part of the garbage — and it happens in almost ALL of the garbage — where they describe the picture next to the garbage article that the garbage article is about. “Ohhhh.” “So that’s what I’m seeing here.” “Huh. I thought it was a grey tie.” Oh, right, anyway: PLEASE FIND THE SAFEST ROUTE TO YOUR EMERGENCY FAINTING COUCHES. THIS MAY BE THE ROUTE YOU’VE PRACTICED, BUT BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR WOMEN WHO MAY HAVE NOT MADE IT TO THEIR FAINTING COUCHES AND WHO MAY BE CROWDING THE WALKWAYS WITH THIER LIFELESS BODIES. WE’LL BE BACK TO REPORT ANY MORE NEWS AS SOON AS MORE NEWS IS GIVEN TO US. HAHA. THAT’S HOW NEWSMEN CUT TO COMMERCIALS DURING EMERGENCIES, RIGHT? THOSE EXACT WORDS? OKAY. GOODBYE.

Dining in Disneyland: The Fried Apple Burrito
Matt.weilandFried Apple Burrito anyone?
RUN, don’t walk, to the Halloween Carnival over at Big Thunder Ranch at Disneyland.
Not for the adorable character meet and greets…
Not for the amazingly talented pumpkin carvers…
And not for the toe tappin’ tunes of Billy Hill and the “Haunted” Hillbillies… .
Why do you need to run? Because they have Fried Apple Burritos.
Reminiscent of the old school McDonald’s fried apple pies (you know, before they healthy’d em up and started baking them), this super yummy Fried Apple Burrito is basically an apple pie chimichanga.
For $6.00 you will be served a piping hot, crispy, generously portioned tube of fried apple awesomeness.
The inside is loaded with a hot apple pie center; lots of soft apple chunks mixed with a tiny bit of holiday spice. Trust me when I say you will not regret the purchase of this situation. SO good.
Overall
The Fried Apple Burrito is by far one of my very favorite Halloween Time treats this year. It’s here through November 3rd and is available only at the Halloween Carnival in Big Thunder Ranch. Hours are 10:30am-6:00pm daily.
I sure hope that it will be back for years to come. Or even better? Make it permanent somewhere on property. Pretty please!?!
Have you been over to the Halloween Carnival at Big Thunder Ranch? Did you splurge on a Fried Apple Burrito? If so, did you love it as much as I did?

Read The Fascinating Behind-The-Scenes Story About How ‘SNL’ Nailed Its Wes Anderson Spoof
Saturday Night Live received near universal praise for its recent Wes Anderson spoof, “The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders,” and rightfully so. The two and a half minute fake horror film trailer wasn’t just funny, it also managed to nail the signature look, style, and tone of Anderson’s films, which added an extra layer to the whole thing that really drove it home. And now, thanks to the show’s director of photography, Alex Buono, we know how they pulled it off.
Earlier this week, Buono wrote a lengthy account of the making-of and behind-the-scenes maneuvering surrounding the sketch, and it is truly fascinating. The majority of it deals with the technical aspects of mimicking Anderson’s style — camera types, color schemes, aspect ratios, finding a suitable, woodsy Anderson-style setting in or around Manhattan, etc. — but the most interesting part, for me, was the ending, where Buono writes about the team of sleep-deprived editors and staff still making small changes and last-minutes fixes to the trailer even after the Edward Norton hosted episode had started to air live on the East Coast.
We pick up the story there:
There are two major deadlines for the Film Unit. The Dress Rehearsal starts at 8pm – for which the goal is to have the spot fully mixed and color corrected, but sometimes it’s not quite there yet. Then, of course, the live show starts at 11:30pm, and you’d think that would be a pretty hard and fast deadline …. except in this case, when Rhys and Adam were truly down to the wire – scrambling to finish revision notes from the dress rehearsal, minor voiceover changes and final color fixes. Rhys was downstairs in the studio edit bay where the final picture and mix are married together and uploaded to the live switcher. As Rhys was watching down the final cut, he noticed two errors: one shot slipped into the cut without being “un-squeezed” and another repositioned shot had lost its repo. We all know that these kinds of errors happen all the time, but they rarely happen when you are literally gun-t0-the-head, minutes away from a live broadcast.
It’s now well past 11:30pm — but our spot technically wasn’t airing until after the 2nd commercial so we’re basically in penalty time. Rhys is racing to explain to Adam over the phone which shots need to be fixed. Now remember: I hadn’t slept in what feels like days at this point and all I recall is Adam working his stylus at lightning speed, whispering to himself, “It’s gonna be close…it’s gonna be reeeeal close…” Too close, in fact — as Rhys was then told by the studio that we were out of time; they would have to run the version with the errors. CUT TO: CLOSE UP – Rhys’ face, crushed in defeat. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Rhys, Adam had just uploaded the fixes to the server, then raced over to the live monitor and just held his breath as our spot went live exactly 20 seconds later.
What none of us knew at the time is that the studio associate director, Matt Yonks, decided to roll the dice and play the fixed spot directly to the air. The spot was literally still loading into the switcher as it was being broadcast out. Holy crap. Thank you, Yonks!
And then, on the 17th floor of 30 Rockefeller Center at about 11:50pm, there was a flurry of high-fives and fist-bumps and woop-woop!’s as our spot – fixes and all – made the air.
And I guess that’s how we did it.
I really recommend reading the whole thing, especially if you’ve got a bit of an inner film geek in you. Then, go back and watch the sketch again. It’ll blow you away.
