Apologies for the political commentary, but Squiddle has of late been watching Disney's Robin Hood, and all I can think about Prince John, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Sir Hiss is "ah, the Republican party." I'm far from the first or the last to note the resemblance between that particular party and various Disney villains. (Yzma also comes to ( Read more... )

Has anyone else's brain ever connected disparate continuities and decided they are, in fact, one? And not in the usual "this crossover is crack but it's so much FUN" way ( Read more... )

The other day the radio played "Centerfold" by J Geils Band, and I realized I've finally reached the point where I can no longer enjoy the song. It's still catchy... but I just can't stand the slut-shaming and dude-centricness of the lyrics. Sigh. It's kind of sad how the suck fairy visits so much over time.

Wonderful Husband and I celebrated our anniversary on Monday. Eleven years, hooray! We went to see Big Hero 6 before it left theaters, and very much enjoyed it. I think this is the first Disney film where I want the artbook not for cosplay purposes, but just for looking at the world Disney created. OMG, such gorgeous backgrounds and art and ( Read more... )

Movies I have watched recently: Maleficent (ooh, fem!fantasy movie - I liked bits, especially Diaval, but I think Wonderful Husband nailed it when he said this was Maleficent's version of what happened... and Sleeping Beauty is the three fairies' ^_^). Guardians of the Galaxy (pretty good, but not my favorite in the Marvel'verse... fourth place, ( Read more... )
