Modern Family Disneyland Episode This Week

Modern Family Visits Disneyalnd

This week two of my favorite current obsessions come together. ABC’s Modern Family, the funniest show on TV, and the original Disneyland come together in a special episode. Nothing is more quintessential to good ol’ family fun than a trip to Disneyland – but when the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan hits the park it can’t happen without a side of motion sickness, achy feet and a wayward toddler! Sound Familiar?

Phil tries to keep up with Luke, Claire’s shocked when they run into Dylan, Jay and Gloria disagree about what are sensible shoes for the day, and Mitch and Cam must contain Lily’s new affinity for running. I was able to watch a bit more of the episode in preview and trust me, they don’t pull many punches. This “Modern Family,” episode airs Wed May 9 (9:00-9:31 p.m. ET/PT), on the ABC Television Network.

This was the episode they filmed in and around the Leap Day fun at Disneyland. Check out the preview of the episode below the jump and watch for the guest control very obvious in the background:

Marvel Has More Clips from The Avengers

The Avengers - Marvel

Two fun new clips from Marvel’s The Avengers were recently released. Just last night is this excellent encounter between Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) who is imprisoned at S.H.E.I.L.D. HQ.

Nick Fury is one cool cat.

Meanwhile below the cut is a clip from a battle royal between Tony Stark as Iron Man and Thor:

New Marvel The Avengers Clips

Could this be the least exciting superhero movie poster ever?

Two new TV spots and a clip from the movie are here to pump you up about the new Marvel The Avengers movie. The first clip shows a bit of what Loki’s army looks like, the second TV clip reveals the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and a clip from the movie shows the Black Widow as she gets called in from a mission.

Otherworldly enough for you?

Nice. Does that Helicarrier remind anyone else of a similar ship from Doctor Who?

Below the cut is the Black Widow clip and a new series of posters for The Avengers. The one above of Agent Coulson is actually a bit of a joke released for the actor’s 50th birthday.

Ten Minute Clip from John Carter

One of the loudest complaints about Walt Disney Pictures marketing of John Carter to date was that it fails to give the backstory of the movie. Without it, there’s no context to explain the story and therefore no emotional tie to motivate the audience to buy tickets. You can see where that would be problem.

Now, with just a few days left until the March 9th wide open, Disney’s movie marketing team has released a 10 minute clip from early in the film that encompasses almost all of the movie’s action on earth. This definitely helps fill in the missing backstory.

Having seen the movie myself, one thing is for sure, if the movie fails to score at the box office, it won’t be the movie’s fault. Director Andrew Stanton and crew have produced a terrific film with heart, emotion, and great story. But somehow, Disney’s marketing team continues to misfire. It has kneecapped any number of good animated features and now is doing a number on John Carter.

Below the cut is one final trailer for John Carter:
