Walt Disney has started advertising his new movie, The Princess and the Frog. OK, I wrote a blog predicting the ending to the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. To this day, I haven't seen that horrible retread, but those who did, confirmed my prediction that this time, the visiting aliens would not be chastising the world about war and would instead lecture us about global warming. Evidently the film came across as a sequel to Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.
And so, being on a roll, I will predict the ending to The Princess and the Frog. Instead of the frog becoming a handsome prince, the princess will learn to not be so human-centric and will instead opt to become a frog permenantly. After all, frogs are every bit as beautiful and as valuable as people and it is only our own racist, anthropologist thinking that would make us feel otherwise. This would be similar to the ending of Shrek (which I also predicted).
Now, look: When I make these guesses, you know I do not mean to brag about any prophetic skills. It's just that Hollywood has gotten that predictable and that Politically Correct.
