And one for Maelstrom

FJL · « **Reply #241 on:** November 20, 2007, 07:33:28 PM »

(Maelstrom was one of my favorite Epcot rides. Short but fun.)

And the theatre for "Finding Nemo" is built on the site of the former "Tarzan Rocks" show. They basically just enclosed that theatre.

Now if they would just bring back their "Hunchback of Notre Dame" stage show to MGM-Studios. That truly was/is my favorite Disney Theme Park show. -And not just because I helped to cast the first cast for that show too. It was just so well put together. And, yes, I always cried when I saw it.

I've always thought that reactions to this film, especially among men, have to do with how they saw themselves, or how they felt about life and their place in it, when they saw it.

In my view, many people's opinions about film are about this--their personal reactions to and involvement in the story--but get attributed to the acting, the direction, etc.

Indeed!

And now that I'm "on the list" as it were for the Cruise Line, I actually qualify for some of the staff specials that are offered from time to time. I highly suspect that I may be taking another cruise in February if I can fit in in my schedule.

What a day and what a great connection to make. Congrats!

They foolishly tried to make you watch a Norway tourism movie AFTER the Maelstrom ride. You could tell who is "in the know" by watching who made a hasty exit from the building before the tourism film.

Can one of our chef-types here help me out with something.

I have a package of vermicelli with no instructions on it as to how to make it. It's been forever since i've made it. And i can't remember if you boil it in water like noodles for a minute or two. Or if you cook it in a wok.

To make it worse i'm trying to look online. But i'm not sure if it's rice or noodles. It comes all bundled up and it's basically very long and winded round and round (if that helps).

Thanks.

There were some rumors that Disney was going to announce which two new country pavilions they were going to add to Epcot a few months ago during the 25th Anniversary Commemoration of Epcot, but no announcement ever materialized. And, apparently, there was no big WDW-sponsored public celebration in honor of Epcot's Silver Anniversary either. In any case...

What county would you like to see added to the World Showcase?

What does the ingredient panel say? Are they made out of flour, semolina, rice flour, mung bean flour, etc.?

And is it Asian-style vermicelli? -a.k.a. rice sticks? Or something a bit more substantial.

Since you say it's bundled up, I'd say it's "rice sticks". Just give them a soak in hot water, then add them to your dish and finish heating/cooking through.

DR Cillaliz, it also got on my last nerve when they called marie safe first. I highly doubt she had the most votes. But some how it is coming across like she has the biggest support.

I don't want to sound mean. But who exactly are her fans? I think some people are just fans of the show and they pick a favorite. But some people obviously have a fan-base. I mean i know the osmonds have been around for a long time. But wouldn't her fans be from like 30 years ago?

I am cheering for helio still. BUt i would be quite satisfied if mel b won.

I think her partner max said something interesting. She has the most natural talent. ANd that is true. She really is good. Although it is much easier for her than for the others.

Some of the fans are from 30 years ago, but at least here in the states, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, and various talk shows, Oprah, Larry King etc. Have featured the Osmunds over and over and I am so sick of seeing them. It's like you can't channel surf witout finding something Osmund. I can accept Jennie going home, but it should have been Marie

Cillaliz · « **Reply #254 on:** November 20, 2007, 07:54:03 PM »

Okay i just went to get them. This is what it says:

Longkou Vermicelli. Yes it has strings around it tying it up. It is in a plastic bag.

The ingredients do not seem right. It says: green beans, broad beans, peas, water.

Keep dry.

But there is no indication of how to cook it (which i find very odd). I was thinking you cook them like noodles. But for less time. but maybe not.

I suppose that telling you that we routinely re-enact the Billy Crystal/Carol Kane sequence ("Get away from me, witch!... Humperdinck, Humperdinck, Humperdinck...I'm not listening") would probably qualify as TMI, so I'll refrain...

Vixdad and I do this too

"Get away from me witch!"

"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!!"

Osmond.

Yes i saw Donny hosting/doing reporting for one of the entertainment shows (i think entertainment tonight).

Well actually julianne was doing some reporting duties too.

The one thing that really bugged me though about seeing donny on the show was how he was putting down jennie garth saying she should go since she had told him she didn't even know her dances yet (i think the day before).

And then he went on about how marie's fanbase was so much larger.

A lot of Asian/Oriental foodstuffs have no cooking directions on them. You're just supposed to know.

In any case...

Just give them a good rinse and brief soak until they are pliable before you proceed with your dish.

When they did the Millenium Village back in 2000, I had a particular affinity for the "Journey to Jerusalem" ride sponsored by Israel. You sat in vehicles similar to the old Universal Hanna-Barbera ride and felt like you were a piece of ancient Torah parchment being transported to events in Israeli history which played out on a large screen. I'd love to see that ride start up again, if only because people don't believe me when I tell them how effective it was.

You have "bean threads". They will cook up "clear" rather than "white" like rice sticks do.

And, yes, after the rinse and soak, you just add them to the wok with the other ingredients.

Next, I put the second disc in THE JAZZ SINGER set on and watched the finale from GOLD DIGGERS and THE ROGUE SONG. Then the short on the history of sound (trumpeting Warners' winning the sound Oscar for YANKEE DOODLE DANDY). And then I started watching the documentary on THE DAWN OF SOUND again. Only got about 30 minutes in before I came back up to go to the press junket for PIRATES 3.

I can't believe that after all the talk that has gone on about DWTS being a popularity constest; that anyone is surprised that Marie is still in the contest. The entire Osmond family is still an institution to a lot of people in this country. And there are over 5 million members of the Church of Latter-day Saints in the United States alone. You don't think that aren't voting for their Marie?
