Oz the Great and Powerful

Post by Keith B »

The new movie looks like it may be pretty incredible. Of course, being a balloon pilot I want to see how well they do the graphics and balloon stuff.

There is actually a balloon on tour now that is promoting the movie. The pilot is a friend of mine and they will be dropping James Franco in tonight in it on Jimmy Kimmel Live if the weather permits.

Here are some of the trailers for the movie

In that last one, I don't remember the witches being near that attractive in the original. ;-)

Does Feinstein play the part of the wicked witch?

I've flown in many things, but never a balloon.

I would like to...

How does one go about doing so in the Galveston/Houston area?

Thanks.

I have flown a few times as a photographer and I must say, it is about as cool an experience as you will ever have. Nothing like it for sure and it needs to be on everyone's bucket list. I try to head up to the Albuquerque balloonfest most years and it is quite a sight to see that many balloons lift off. I'll be checking out that movie for sure.
