Hell, yes. If not for "Princess and the Frog" and "Rapunzel" (which I will give a chance purely because it's supposed to be a ground-breaking, BYOO-TEE-FULL, flowy, CGI film and besides that, I've been saying Disney needs to do a Rapunzel movie...) Any ways, if not for them, I would have given up on Disney by now.
But hellz to the yeah. Hayao Miyazaki knows how to do things RIGHT! After a long hiatus (I believe "Howl's Moving Castle," made in early-mid 2000s was his last film) he's finally released a new animated movie that literally translates to "Ponyo on the Cliff." Read about it.
When this gets translated and shipped to the US, I will be the first to buy. Hopefully, they will spend a lot of time on the dub, and be kind enough to let this baby have a theatrical release.
I'll also be checking out Tim Burton's upcoming "FrankenWeenie" in 2009. I'm sick of all these SUCK adaptations and remakes. Seriously, people, the human mind is more creative than that! Oh, almost forgot, I'll also be going to see "Watchmen" and (like the sucker I am) will check out the re-release of "The Dark Knight" in IMAX. Seriously, there are scenes literally filmed purely for IMAX. I can't resist.
This is why I should be President.

I Hate Twilight Fans
Seriously, anybody who supports a fad which has its own shrine at Barnes and Noble...
...deserves to suffer in the freezing cold...
... while BJ and I are toasty warm inside the theatre. (These pictures are from opening night, when we went with book club to go see the movie... we rented a party room so we got in early! Poor fans... yeah right.)
This is why I should be president.

I Hate Life
-Sigh- My life is spiraling into a dark abyss of nothingness and I feel as though I have no purpose...
KIDDING!!! Finished up my finals and ended the day with a slight trim to rid myself of split-ends (alright, I cut my bangs...) and a manicure. Sparkly red nails are the perfect way to end the day.
I'm leaving you with a farewell blog for Christmas as, no doubt, during the holidays, blogging will be sloooooooooow. Of course, I will encourage TS to do the same. Tomorrow and Sunday we have shifts to gift-wrap and glorious Barnes 'n' Noble, and Monday, I go for 7 days without computer. =O I'm leaving for Montana this holiday season, which TS isn't happy about.
Anyways, happy holidays to all of you!
While we're gone, enjoy some South Park!

I Love Abortion
Seriously! There’s nothing like waking up on a nice, sunny Saturday morning to the promise of an early- to mid- afternoon abortion! It’s the perfect conclusion to a wonderful week of promiscuity and meaningless sex! And sometimes, in the morning before my weekly abortion, I give BJ a ring to see if she wants to go to. I mean, we’re feminists. What else would we be doing?
Instead of campaigning vigilantly for women’s rights, we spend our Saturday afternoons in the abortion clinic, barely containing our excitement. It’s so hard, you know? Waiting for the doctor to suck the fetus… sorry, I mean ‘baby’… out of you. (Sometimes, I must confess, I get pregnant purely so I can get an abortion! It’s just so much fun!)
Yes, I know that I could easily carry the baby to term,; my family would be super supportive, and my school career would turn out perfectly! But who wants that? Everywhere I go, people try to encourage me not to get abortions-- they throw birth control and contraceptives at me, begging me on Wednesday to PLEASE-FOR-THE-LOVE-OF-GOD-TAKE-THE-MORNING-AFTER-PILL!!! Once, I actually grabbed one of the condoms they threw at me, but I tossed it out, despite the superb comprehensive sex-ed program I was exposed to throughout my high school career educating me on contraceptives and such.
Fortunately, they also exposed me to abortion. And soon after, I found out that it was legal for teenagers to get abortions in my state! That, I must say, was the deciding factor for me. Armed with the knowledge that I could get an abortion, I went on a quest to become pregnant. And I did. Then, after my first abortion (which awed me with its amazingness!), I decided to make it a weekly event.
This is why I should be president.

I Love Disney
OK, seriously, somebody PLEASE do something stupid so that I can make a "hate" blog.
Is Disney actually *gasp* releasing, not one, but TWO upcoming animated features featuring classic mythological princesses? I must be dreaming. Somebody pinch me. On top of that, they will be done in traditional hand-drawn style, which could possibly make a comeback after all these years of CG animation. I'm not going to say hand-drawn has more effort put in, because they're both painstaking works of art, but a new 2D movie will be refreshing.
Not including the Simpson's Movie, the last 2D feature I went to go see in the theatre was 2002's "Lilo and Stitch." That was six, soon to be seven, years ago.
Although, I WILL say that "Delgo" looks like the prettiest animated feature in a while. Perhaps I'll check that out when it's available for rent.
2009's "Princess and the Frog" will have music composed by Disney veterans, Randy Newman and Peter Del Vecho. It's written by John Musker and Ron Clements, the same people who handled a number of movies during the 1990's "Disney Renaissance." (also known as Disney's Big Business Boom) I have faith that these talented individuals will put together an enjoyable Disney film, which I will, NO DOUBT see in the theatre. (Encourage Disney's good projects, not their sequels. Companies will only produce what makes cash.)
I don't know as much about 2010's "Rapunzel," but I'm a little disappointed, as the handy-dandy Wikipedia has informed me that Rapunzel will be CG.
How weird would THAT look? A CG Rapunzel next to the other 2D animated Disney gals. I guess it could teach us something like "it's OK to be different." ;P
Ariel: Hmm... there's something about the new girl I just can't quite put my finger on.
Jasmine: She's 3 dimensional.
Belle: But, I'm regarded as a 3 dimensional character.
Tania (to frog): You're SURE it's a kiss on the lips?
Aurora: I think I've seen her once upon a dream...
Jasmine: You have dreams in three dimensions?
Feminists Everywhere: *FACEPALM*

I Love Music and the Holidays
Ugh, there has been WAY too much love now that the 'lection's over. But I couldn't help myself. I just have to say something about the holidays and this new singer I found on youtube. Firstly, I love holiday cheer and all, but I've had to hear Christmas songs on the radio since before Halloween. What the hell? "Santa Claus is comin'-- to town!"
Yeah, in THREE MONTHS. I started to boycott that station when I heard "Silver and Gold" being played at six in the morning October 14th, followed by "Noel." WE GET IT. AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING, dumbasses.
I feel a little better with all that hate in my system.
Anyways, if you haven't heard a singer by the name of "Kerli," watch/listen to these music videos.
Walking on Air
Love Is Dead
Goodbye
If you have heard of her... too bad. I've got nothing else today.
This is why I should be President.

I Love America
-Sigh- Ah, good ol' America.
Where we're more concerned that the vice presidential candidate is on Saturday Night Live rather than our economic depression.
Where the mentally handicapped are forced to take the same tests as those who learn at an average level.
Where we're SO concerned about smell, we'd rather use cancer-causing deodorants than just admit smelling not-that-great is just a natural part of the human body.
Where a man with larger boobs than I have can walk around shirtless, but I'd get arrested if I did the same thing.
Where the Southern States are falsely known for their hospitality.
Oh, hell yeah.
Suck on that, Europe!
*Whistles the tune to "America, Fuck Yeah!"*
This is why I should be President. (I'm patriotic! =P)
