I was renting a few movies, as is my wont to do, and having gone through most of the Drama, Comedy, and Action, I turned to the Children's movies. Lo and behold, there was the Little Princess. I think it might be one of the finest movies concerning reality and myth to ever be made. Of course, I am going on memories which are almost as old as I am, so it is possible that I am a teensy bit mistaken, but I think not. When the girls wake up with the buffet in their room, and fine sheets and jewelry, certain boundaries are crossed. Plus it has a blue Indian deity. And everyone knows that blue Indian deities immediately make for an excellent movie.
I was just watching the latest Pride and Prejudice movie, and I have but one complaint. I do not think that any on would ever say that Keira Knightly is "perfectly tolerable". And anybody that would is certifiably insane. Other then that, a perfectly tolerable movie.
Man oh man. I am rereading Kierkegaard's journal and I think that it might just be something that continually gets better through each reading. Wonderful. I need to get my hands on the unedited journals. He wrote quite a bit. I think unedited, it comes to thousands of pages.*gleep* Awesome.
My one disappointment is a lack of Anastasia at the movie store. I think I will start watching all Disney movies through in the order that they were put out. Only originals though. No Little Mermaid 2 1/2 for me. Although maybe after that time she will be older then 12.

stop reminded me of our realization of eric's pedophilia. it was a sad day for my love of disney. it is, indeed, also a sad day for you that the movie store doesn't have anastasia. though you know that wasn't disney, right? it was dreamworks, whose tagline is "be distracted by the fact that we get famous people to do our cartoon voices!" meg ryan, of 'you've got mail' fame, is anastasia. neato, huh?
Dreamworks? Oh man. I enjoyed that movie so much. Is Dreamworks the same as 20th century Fox? And Kirsten Dunst was young Anastasia. There is nothing wrong with having some famous people do the voices of the characters. And if you haven't seen it, check out the Little Princess.
