The 30-Day Disney movie, Day 20: Favorite sequel

I thought about this long and hard and realized that I never really liked any of the movie sequels too much, so I'm going to go with Kingdom Hearts II. KH2 really expanded everything--you got revisit worlds and got to interact with older characters more, plus whenever you got to have new guest star ( Read more... )

New musing for the Simon Oakland tribute blog: you can read it here.

And, in other news, I rediscovered the pricelessness that is classic Garfield. I'm talking about the old comics and cartoons--he's a bit too mean in the newer comics, though the CGI cartoon does seem to keep his nicer personality from Garfield and Friends. Favorite moments are ( Read more... )

I couldn't resist a peek into the Kolchak Compendium so I very briefly skimmed through it. I had to inwardly "Awwwwww" when, in one of his monologues, Carl referred to Tony as his "only true friend ( Read more... )

I finally made shelf space to fit the new Kolchak books in! I haven't even started on the Kolchak: the Night Stalker Compendium book yet--that book really is so huge, it's daunting--at 670 pages, I've had college textbooks shorter than that. I did read through the Monsters Among Us graphic novel, though--aside from a couple of objectionable ( Read more... )

The 30-Day Disney movie, Day 15: The first movie you saw

Beauty and the Beast. This was, indeed, my very first Disney movie, and one that I absolutely adored. And it shows--Belle is my favorite Princess, Adam/Beast is my favorite Prince, and Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts are my favorite secondary characters ( Read more... )

So, response to the first chapter of the wax museum fic is going well so far. X3 Glad I decided to post it today; I'd like to get the ghost town fic updated for the actual Halloween update, since Kolchak and Halloween go hand in hand...

And speaking of Kolchak, I saw Darren McGavin's ep of Murder, She Wrote, which is my first official MSW ep. ( Read more... )

I am amused. Looking through my purchasing history on Amazon reveals very clearly how my main interests have changed throughout the last five years. Behold:

2007--Various Disney soundtracks, plus a couple Pokémon-related things
2008--Whole bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh and Tintin books and DVDs
2009--Whole bunch of Rockapella CDs and Legend of Zelda manga, ( Read more... )

So, yesterday, I was discussing with iris_happydays and hogan_macgyver about Murder, She Wrote, and how I hadn't seen anything of it. Well, they both recommended it to me, and I have good news for them: next Saturday, my satellite provider will be showing the 1992 ep with Darren McGavin guest-starring. So, naturally, there's no way I'll be missing that! I'll let you both ( Read more... )

The 30-Day Disney movie, Day 10: Your favorite love song

Definitely the title song from Beauty and the Beast. It's a very sweet song with and amazing animated sequence to go with it. The lyrics are also very thought-provoking and make yet moving at the same time: "Bittersweet and strange/finding you can change/learning you were wrong...In other ( Read more... )

Today is Skeptics' Day? So Seto Kaiba and Tony Vincenzo have a day just for them, huh? LOL. That deserves to be a blurb in either fandom ( Read more... )
