"Marnin' . . . Mai Naime's Sallay Peeeeep!"
Anyone who knows where that quote is from will gain my eternal respect.
So, I've been watching "The Tenth Kingdom" every day before work because I get up early to make tea and need something to do, and it's 6 and a half hours long, so I figured it would last me a while.
I've come to the conclusion about a few things:
1.) The sex scene between Virginia and Wolf is totally and completely unnecessary, and it makes me very uncomfortable. I feel like it could have been tastefully and beautifully done, and instead, it's actually very scary. I'm terrified every time he pops out at her from the bushes.
2.) With the exception of The Queen, The Hunstman, and sometimes Tony, there are no good actors in this movie. A lot aren't bad, such as Viriginia and Wolf . . . but they ain't exactly Oscar winners.
3.) The singing ring annoys the piss out of me, and if anyone EVER gave me:
a.) a ring that sings
b.) a pearl engagement ring
c.) anything that rhymes non-stop
d.) something that looks revoltingly like a baby, but isn't
or e.) something with a voice that whispery and verbrato-y
I would have to kill them.
3.) Tony's shining moment is truly stupendous, but not because he blunders the whole movie. Yes, he makes mistakes, but he's really not that bad. They just play him down a lot. However, I can never supress a squeal of glee when he finally gets pissed off and throws the frog.
4.) Does it bother anyone else that Virginia's married name is going to be Virginia Wolf? I know it's not spelled the same, but . . . c'mon. Of all the things to name her . . .
5.) There are inconsistancies with the real evil queen who is buried in the basement in the swamp. Check that shit out.
6.) If Acorn the Dwarf escaped, what was the fate of his green friend? Why do we never see him again, and what was the point of him giving the ever-so-significant statue he carved to Tony, when it NEVER COMES UP AGAIN? What a waste of twenty seconds.
7.) Why doesn't Viriginia keep her shepardess costume? It's cute, and really, no more practical than the other skirt she was wandering around in.
8.) Why would she EVER have let Wolf cut her hair in the first place? She could have done it herself. I mean . . . seriously.
9.) Tony gets his two front teeth pulled out when he's in jail, in the first few hours of the movie. How did they magically grow back, and why were we cheated out of an explaination of that?
I know I'll have more later.
Also, my lovaaaaaaaa is coming to my house tomorrow!!!!!!
