So, my opinion of My Little Pony The Movie? It's... alright. The plot is on the picaresque side and feels rushed. Elements like the city where everything is for sale, the airship pirates, the sea ponies, are skimmed through rather than solidly established. Similarly, the chief villain is a non-entity; he gets talked about a lot but doesn't ( Read more... )

My youngest sister, who is studying computer games design, is currently on an internship year. The company CEO flew over this week from the US to take part in a 'town hall meeting' (which is like an office meeting but bigger).

In addendum to the previous I Like Monday, this Monday, I like... Yzma's flea speech from Disney's The Emperor's New Groove.

Seriously, the number of times my sisters and I quote this speech at each other - especially "I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!!!!" XDDDDD One of the silliest parts in a very silly movie. Genius, I say!

This Monday, I like... Kronk.

First aid training makes me ver' ver' sleepy.

Don't you just hate it when a storyline you've been playing with runs off into depressing territory and you can't get it back? Do Not Want, brain.

I caught the tail end of Mary Poppins last night, and if Karen Hallion hadn't convinced me already, the movie itself is proof that Mary Poppins is a Time ( Read more... )

This Monday, I like... Disney's Beauty and the Beast:
