I'm sorry, but I'm following the trend:

UNTIL I GET A HARRY POTTER FRIENDS ONLY BADGE THERE WILL BE NO IMAGE, BUT : FRIENDS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!

Want to be a friend? Here's what ya do:
1) Add me
2) Comment, possibly a reason with why you want to be a friend
3) I'll add you back. I'm that kind of person...I like having friends.
4) DO NOT PROMOTE IN MY JOURNAL! There are communities where you can promote...my journal is not one of them Goddamnit!

I don't know why but the fact that the people over at Yahoo are bitching about UP and how it's overrated makes me extremely depressed. That film is a masterpiece in it's own right. Is UP the best animated film ever? No. But it definitely covers topics that most other animated films wouldn't touch with a hundred foot pole: marriage, miscarriage or lack of ability to conceive, aging, death, life after death, older people, divorce and bad parenting. Say what you will but UP is a damn masterpiece just like the films in Disney's golden era. It shouldn't affect me that there are people out there that dislike and/or hate UP, but it just does. I don't see how anybody could possibly hate that film. Do I have any friends on here that hate that film? Could you tell me why? Because my immediate reaction to people saying that they hate UP is me thinking they have no heart. And I know that that can't be true.

Because everybody should remember Michael Jackson not only as a great entertainer but also as a great creeper. Thank you Matt Stone and Trey Parker, ILU guys.

Merlin/Gwen= DO NOT WANT!! I DO NOT LIKE IT AND I DO NOT WANT IT!! I WISH THAT IT WOULD GO DIE IN A CAVE!!

Arthur/Merlin= Writers, please to be giving us more of these homoerotic undertones. Also, please to be giving us some man lovins...because at the moment, this pairing is the only thing that seems to make any sense on this show.


Also, Anthony Head, you are one fierce bitch...seriously, I don't think I've ever seen anyone that is a fiercer bitch than you.

And since when was Nimue ever considered to be some great evil sorceress? I mean, she was the Lady of the Lake, she raised Lancelot and gave Arthur Excalibur. Granted, in most legends she did seduce Merlin...but Merlin in most legends never really had a problem with it.

The writers of this show need to study Arthurian legend before they butcher it even more.

Aww, "Moulin Rouge" is on tv and I'd forgotten how much I love this film and how much I love Ewan McGregor.

Perez Hilton is a homophobic asshole. I am SO glad that the Matthew Shepherd Foundation has turned down his donation. The last person they need money from is an insincere asshole like him.

So I watched the first two episodes of "Merlin" last night when they were on NBC and I'm less than impressed with it. The acting is good, I'll give it that, but aside from that, I have a lot of problems with it. The main one being that it completely deviates from Arthurian legend and in doing so dumbs the story down and almost ruins it. First off, I hate the fact that Merlin is shown as being an 18 year old boy, and as being the same age as Arthur. That's bull-shite. When Arthur met Merlin, Merlin was an already very old and very well-respected sorcerer. Second off, Arthur was a very respectful, intelligent young man. Not the complete jackass that they show him to be. One of the main reasons people cared for and liked Arthur so much was that he was so nice and he cared about the people of Camelot.

Another thing, Guinevere was NOT the daughter of a blacksmith, nor was she ever Morgan Le Fey's (nee Morgana's) servant. Guinevere was of noble birth. Also, in the show Guinevere shows obvious dislike toward Arthur which is also completely untrue according to Arthurian legend where she always respected and liked Arthur, in the show Arthur never once looks at her, which is also completely wrong as Arthur was completely smitten with Guinevere from the first time he saw her. Now, mostly I don't have a problem with traditional characters having a different hair color than their original form, but in this case, I tend to have a small problem. In the show Gwen (though the actress is beautiful) has olive colored skin and very dark, curly hair. When the original legend took place, Gwen would NEVER have been considered to be a beautiful woman, perhaps unconventionally pretty, but never beautiful. Back then very pale women with blonde hair were considered to be the most gorgeous. Now in the show, I suppose it works because Arthur HASN'T looked at Gwen (at least not yet) twice, but as I said before, that is a complete deviation from the original legends.

As I said before, Merlin was NOT the same age as Arthur...he was much older. He was a well established and well respected sorcerer in many stories (though in others he was shown to be evil, but I tend to lean more toward the good sorcerer that helps Arthur.)

Morgan Le Fay, nee Morgana is not Uther's ward, she is Arthur's half-sister, which of course makes the whole sexual tension thing going on in the show a bit creepy (eeww, incest for the lose) though I am glad that they are showing that Morgana has an interest in witchcraft.

They haven't shown much of anything in the way of Uther as of yet, but so far his is the only depiction that seems to match up with that of the original legend. I would prefer it if they talked about how he used magic (with the help of Merlin no less) to seduce Igraine (Arthur and Morgana's mother) away from her husband so that she would give birth to Arthur.

But yeah, I think that the tv show is ruining everything that I love about the Arthurian legend. I have no problem with some deviation from original legends, to be honest, I'm quite fond of "The Mists of Avalon" but that's because they do a good job of keeping true to original legends while also expanding upon them and changing a few circumstances. So there you go.

Just got back from going to the mall (mom had to exchange some items that didn't fit her) and while she was looking around I set off to investigate the pet shop and look at the puppies. While there I found the most gorgeous, wonderful, beautiful Golden Retriever puppy I've ever seen in my entire life. He was so playful and cuddly and sooo intelligent. I threw him his little plastic bone and he went and got it and brought it right back to me!! How precious is that?? And he's still so young too. He seemed to really enjoy chewing on my arm, which was no problem to me because he was just too cute. I wanted to take him home with me SO badly, but we live in a TINY apartment and our stupid landlord won't let us have a dog. I nearly cried when we had to leave because I fell in-love with him. I wish I could've gotten a picture of him to show you all. ~sigh~ Someday though, I will get a Golden Retriever someday.

If you could be a teenager living in any decade, which one would you choose?

As I am currently obsessed with everything having to do with the Regency Era, I think I'd have to say then. As far as the 20th century is concerned, the 40s definitely, they were so elegant!

I recently got the soundtrack from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame (one of my favorite novels and favorite Disney movies) and I was listening to it last night. It is seriously one of the most adult, if not THE most adult of all of Disney's other films. It deals with so much more than just a love story of a man with a deformity (which tends to be my favorite kind of story, Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast and Hunchback.) When you think about it, the story deals with religious ideologies, racism and lust which are things that I think up until Hunchback hadn't been dealt with in Disney's other films. This is shown especially in the scene "Hellfire" where Judge Frollo sings of his one-time virtue and how it is being destroyed due to his lust for Esmeralda and how she has bewitched him with her Gypsy ways. The only other film that I think deals exclusively with racism on a very open level is "Pocahontas." But as far as the issue of lust is concerned I can't think of another Disney film that dealt with it as much as Hunchback did.

Those are just my thoughts. They aren't extremely well thought out, but I did just wake up a little while ago (in my defense for waking up so late, I was up until 4 in the morning so I did get about 8 hours of sleep.) So tell me what you think about what I've said. I'm actually thinking of fully writing out an essay length entry on Disney films dealing with adult issues.
