It's not my fault (mea culpa) God made the devil so much stronger than the man (mea maxima culpa)
Finally, my APs are all over and done with! It's been quite a pain, especially since I've been so inexplicably sleepy all the time lately--plenty of sleep, no problemo. I've also been eating more than necessary and not doing anything but sit around or nap so I've got quite the little food-baby at this moment.
Part of my sitting around lately has been manifested in a Disney obsession--over the weekend I spent some time with my sister getting my mother her present and peeking for a prom dress--they're so expensive, but I found one that I really love, AND I found it online for almost sixty dollars less than the store. Here, go take a look. ANYWAY, DISNEY-- We listened to the Hercules soundtrack and the Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack while in the car, and it spawned such a desire in me to go review all my old favorites. I started with Beauty and the Beast, followed it with Hercules, and the other day I watched HofND.
I have to say, Hunchback is probably one of the most underrated disney movies EVER. I know that it's impossible for it to be completely pure to the Victor Hugo novel, but for what it is it's incredible. And I have no idea how it got away with a G rating, considering that it contains the words "licentious," "damnation," and has implications of lust and sexuality. For a children's movie, it's incredibly dark, despite attempts to lighten the subject matter, and the complexity of the characters is actually incredible.
Plus, the score. The musical score is so underrated--simply because it's not as catchy as other musicals. But the performers are perfect, and both the music--which reminds me more of a classical musical than of a disney soundtrack-- and the accompanying music are phenomenal.
Here, take a gander:
That's beautiful, and it's an incredibly mature theme, ESPECIALLY for a disney movie.
I saw this compared unfavorably with The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World" but I don't think it's even comparable; this is far better. The vocals, the animation, and the emotion is far more complex than a whiny little slut-fish being unsatisfied with being a princess.
BEE TEE DUBS, GUYS, YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING?
POPS CONCERT IS NEXT TUESDAY AT HHS SO IF YOU WANNA COME THAT'LL BE COOL, I'LL FIND OUT THE TIME TO TELL YOU GUYS YAH SOUNDS FUN RITE
Anyway, I love you all and miss you. One Ian does not compare to Friday night orgies.
