MOVIES: Planes teaser trailer arrives

Like Wrech-It Ralph, people are going to be super confused about Planes. While it is a spin-off from Pixar’s Cars, it is not a Pixar movie, but rather a movie from Walt Disney proper.  While you don’t want to bruise egos and companies, after watching the teaser trailer, most viewers are probably not going to care either way.

Mark Sable Detained After TSA Discovers Unthinkable Script

This is why I don’t carry my copy of the Illuminatus! Trilogy on board planes anymore.  If this is the real deal, things have gotten really strange in this country.  Check out the press release Boom! Studios sent to us about Mark Sable getting held up by the TSA after they discovered his script for Unthinkable.

From the press release:

Comics writer Mark Sable was detained by TSA security guards at LAX this past weekend when they discovered inflammatory material in a script for Sable’s new BOOM Studios miniseries UNTHINKABLE. The comic series follows members of a government think tank that was tasked with coming up with 9/11-type “unthinkable” terrorist scenarios that now are coming true.

Sable was detained while traveling from LAX to NYC to attend a signing for the premiere of UNTHINKABLE #1 at Jim Hanley’s Universe this Wednesday, May 13th.

Fans and friends were made aware of the TSA detention when Sable “Twittered” about the events at twitter.com/marksable, after he was released.
