I'm surprised Hawaii is more for Mulan than Moana; thought they went bananas for that one.

Our state, Florida, made a pretty good choice I must say. Not Hawaii but ALASKA choosing Moana is kind of shocking

Troposphere posted:I mean...it's a costuming blog. of course they go into detail about it, that's what the whole blog is about? idgi It's a subpar dress and I'm baffled someone could write so much about it being just... blah. I understand going into detail on the immaculate precision on the petticoats in Gone With the Wind or the lovingly hand-stitched miniature costuming in Kubo (and how the fabrics correlate with the time period, class and personality of each characters), but there's no real story with Belle's dress. It just kinda blandly sucks. It's the Delgo of dresses, not the Foodfight. But I feel the same way about all the live-action Disney dress stuff. They're sparkly and poofy and... I guess pretty cheap-looking? Oh, costume jewelry! They remind me of really gaudy costume jewelry.

I suspect the heavy presence of Belle and Moana is due to them being the most recent in addition to general popularity. A lot of polls tend to get heavily influenced by that.

Got prescreeners to Beauty and the Beast later today, expect me to forget to post my impressions and if I do theyll be disjointed and useless to you, person who will obviously see this film in the next 3 days.

I think I'd rather take myself to go see Lego Batman already than go see Beauty, honestly. Though if my family offers me a ticket for it (which they probably won't, last time they offered was Moana), then I'd probably take them up on it regardless of its quality. (I mean, it's how I wound up seeing Batman v. Superman...)

Its a hard life for a slow moving hovering rock fetishist so when a movie that comes along with a scene just for you you love it and never let it go.

I don't know if it can be worse than another friend insisting on taking me to Alvin & the Chipmunks. So is this just a thing for me, or does everyone else have otherwise good friends with tremendously bad taste in movies who thrust them upon you as a test of friendship? Who got dragged to Norm of the North?

Generally no, my friends tend to have similar tastes to me and when they don't it's rarely a case of "I want you to see this thing I know you'll dislike." We all laughed our asses as the tiny floating rock in The Last Airbender though so YMMV.

And even when they like an indisputably bad movie they are aware enough to admit that it's bad. Now TV series, on the other hand..

My older sister is the family member who has the most responsibility and has her poo poo together the most, gets to travel to Europe as part of her job and go to concerts for fun... and she loves minions.

I watched Aladdin for the first time in at least 15 years last night. Thoughts: I really miss Robin Williams. I also really like Jasmine as a character. I vaguely remembered Jasmine as "kind of mean." I guess teenage me thought "strong-willed" was the same as "not nice." I was wrong, because Jasmine owns. She's smart and willful and (despite the Disney trope of falling in love in one evening) presents a great message of not being a prize to be won. Jafar is a great villain, but he goes absolutely mad at the end. His shift from cold-and-calculating to cackling mad is abrupt and happens the moment he makes his second wish. I guess absolute power corrupts absolutely. His reprise of Prince Ali ends with his mad laughter. Is the merchant in the intro supposed to be the Genie? Because he has a lot of the same speech patterns (notably going into rapid-fire not-quite-asides after every few lines), and a lot of magical stuff happens around him casually, like his stall which appears from nothing and the glowing sand from the lamp. His motions are also extremely bouncy and over-animated.

They wrote and cut this song for her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC98YQb6vM Obviously, that's not the final version of the character. (the recent stage show tried to incorporate the song again but made up some bullshit about how it was just a persona she was putting on to make her suitors go away. that's pretty clearly an ad hoc excuse for using old material incompatible with the final product, though.)

I dunno, I thought trying to put "Call Me a Princess" into the musical was a good attempt at reusing a good song they couldn't fit into the film proper. That said, it didn't make it into the final Broadway cut, either (though I believe Jafar's "Why Me?" did, at least). Also, I thought Jafar's snapping happened around when his arrest (and subsequent escape) did. I mean, okay, he was still sneaky enough to send Iago to steal the lamp from Aladdin, but he clearly was starting to go off the deep end to the point that Iago was calling him out on it (if only because he didn't notice the lamp as Jafar did). And to further add to the "merchant is the Genie" theory, they're both Robin Williams, so...

They wrote and cut this song for her: I know it'd get poo poo all over for bad female role model shenanigans, but a story about a dude who pursues a princess who's just a complete rear end in a top hat would be funny as hell.  But she's gorgeous! She's an rear end in a top hat. But she's rich! She's an rear end in a top hat. ?!?!?She wouldn't even be the villain, just a Kuzco-grade bitch. Maybe she's so godawful that not even the villain can put up with her and the hero and villain form a romantic bond over that poo poo.
