Here’s the dance montage at the end of Knott’s Scary Farm’s annual “Hanging: Wrath of The Witch” show.  The Hanging show consists of celebs getting killed in creative ways including Jon & Kate, Jonas Brothers and Twilight characters. 

For those of you guys that aren’t familiar with Knott’s Scary Farm, it’s a theme park in Buena Park, CA, that transforms into a creepy place at night.  There are some cool mazes and monsters are everywhere trying to scare you. 

If you’re in Southern CA make sure to check out the event, I suggest you go as early as possible because it’s …

The iPhone 3G and the new and improved baby brother, 3GS, are probably the most advanced smart phones on the market; increasing number of applications (apps for short), and accessibility to sync almost all your data.

D23 Expo held a panel for The Princess and The Frog with the crew from the movie. The panel presented behind the scenes discussions, clips, and some live drawing demonstrations featuring characters in the film.

Before entering the panel, we had to go pass metal detectors and bag searches. This was worse than waiting in line at an upscale club in Vegas. Everybody had to check in all recording devices including cell phones, cameras, and camcorders. But luckily, I had my trusty paper and pen to take notes. Yeah, you remember those don’t ya?

Home on the Range was supposedly the …

Disney’s first expo, D23, was a lot of fun.  Highlights include hanging out with the Red Queen from Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, watching Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D (which was awesome) and the interactive booths such as the Storyteller Sandbox and Autonomatronic Show.  Below are some pics I took from the event.  Stay tuned as we’ll have extensive reports from the event, including future Pixar movies and new Disney attractions and of course, Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D review!

We have here with us the guys behind the Red Hot Chili Peppers Halo parody song, Palette-Swap Ninja. They are considered the Weird Al of the gaming world, a two-man crew with Dan Amrich as the guitarist/vocals and Jude Kelley as the keyboardist. They’ve parodied Jimmy Buffet, All-American Rejects, Paul McCartney and the Wallflowers. NERDSociety decided to ambush PSN (Palette-Swap Ninja) for this interview.

NERDSociety (NS): Tell us a little bit about yourselves and how Palette-Swap Ninja all got started.

Dan: Back in 2003, Jude and I both answered an ad for an 80s cover band that was looking for …
