TNT Preview: Tugboat Mickey & Boat Builders/Treasure Island

Hi! Firstly, I apologize for this post going up late. I've talked about it a couple of times but my laptop's hard drive is failing again so it'll randomly spaz out on me. Now that SUTS is over, I'm back to prepping my posts the day of rather than beforehand (in this case the day after), so I'm back at the mercy of my laptop. Yesterday's spaz session involved it taking 10 minutes to wake up, only for all of my open windows to freeze up and stop responding. The "Page Unresponsive" screen didn't even come up, so I had no way to start over. Since the hard drive is failing, I'd rather keep the programs I use most frequently open so that I don't get kicked off of them when the 'open program' prompt function fails. Because of that, it took so long to get everything to respond and start functioning that the system went back to sleep. lol I duly noted that my laptop was informing me I wouldn't be getting this post up on time and took that as my cue to go to bed. I wasn't able to use the computer too much after that, so I tried to start over today. I think I'm going to pre-prep the TNT posts from here out; my laptop seems to be hanging on by a thread so I won't continue to chance not getting a post finished. 

Now anyway, I'm doing our TNT a bit differently this week. I don't know about you, but because I've spent a lot of time on either SUTS or the year's TNTs, I'm a little burned out on films right now. I'll still watch them lol, but I'm just a smidge over it at the moment. So this entire TNT is optional, but there are a couple of things to choose from. What is in our actual TNT slot are Disney shorts starring Mickey Mouse and the gang. They're cute, fun, and not as long as our regular TNTs. But for those who would like to watch an actual movie, the 1950 Disney adventure film Treasure Island will air after the cartoons.  


Wikipedia
Disney's first live-action film stars Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins alongside Robert Newton as the infamous pirate Long John Silver. Jim's friend, a former pirate named Captain Bones, gives Jim a treasure map before dying, leaving Jim to figure it out on his own. Jim employs the help of two friends, but one of them unintentionally hires the man that Captain Bones feared before his death. The two later clash over the famed treasure. Here's a trailer:



Treasure Island will be on this Thursday at 8:30pm EST if you're interested in watching it. If you'd rather watch it online, here's where you can stream it:

iTunes ($2.99) | Google Movies ($2.99) | PS Store ($2.99) | MS Store ($2.99) | Vudu ($2.99) | Amazon ($2.99) 

I apologize that this one is going up so late; the rest of the month's posts will be prepped ahead of time so there won't be anymore delays. Send me some prayers; this laptop has had enough of my shit but has enough respect for me not to just abandon me...yet. lol I don't know if I'll be watching this week's TNT, but I'll definitely be watching the cartoons. ha See you soon!
