  • Disney to build multiple-attraction 'Avatar' land in Animal Kingdom theme park (PC BARF)

    The Walt Disney Co. will build a theme-park “land” based on the movie “Avatar” in Disney’s Animal Kingdom as the first step in a broader licensing deal that will lead to similar attractions in Disney parks worldwide. The deal announced Tuesday gives Disney exclusive theme-park rights to use elements from the 2009 blockbuster and from sequels due out in 2014 and 2015. “Avatar,” which was directed by James Cameron and grossed nearly $2.8 billion in worldwide box-office receipts, is widely considered one of the most valuable intellectual properties not already tied up by a theme park. Disney said it plans...
  • Ryan Reynolds' Sexy Plea for Clean Energy (How to kill a movie a year in advance)

    Apparently, the lantern isn't the only green thing about Ryan Reynolds. The Green Lantern actor has filmed a Public Service Announcement for the Natural Resources Defense Council, urging fans to push their representatives for eco-friendly legislation: “Please tell your senators to vote for clean energy and climate legislation now."

After all, they’re the ones paying the highest price for a gallon of gas.” Handsome, talented, and...

    By R.F. Kennedy, Jr. AS an environmentalist, I support wind power, including wind power on the high seas. I am also involved in siting wind farms in appropriate landscapes, of which there are many. But I do believe that some places should be off limits to any sort of industrial development. I wouldn't build a wind farm in Yosemite National Park. Nor would I build one on Nantucket Sound, which is exactly what the company Energy Management is trying to do with its Cape Wind project. Environmental groups have been enticed by Cape Wind, but they should be wary of...

    The New Fat Cats Fri Apr 2, 3:59 PM ET Add Business - BusinessWeek Online to My Yahoo! Laurie David doesn't consider herself part of a special-interest lobby seeking political favors. She's just a determined environmentalist who's raising gobs of money to defeat President George W. Bush (news - web sites). What does she want in return? For starters, stronger pollution-control laws for utilities and tougher fuel-economy standards for Detroit. Oh, and she would also like the next President to sign the Kyoto treaty committing the U.S. to significant cuts in greenhouse gases. For years, David, 45, has raised money...
