Unorthodox opinions

Today I am suffering from severe PMS symptoms, so I'd like to bring up a certain thing that seems to cause a whole lot of more and less civilized discussion around the internet (and outside it, too): what makes people detest Disney and damn it to the lowest pits of hell?

I mean, heck, I don't get it. Most of the people I've talked to loved the Disney renessaince movies as kids just as much as I did, but at some point they started thinking they're terribly badly drawn, crappily composed, half-assedly designed and what the heck ever. And when I say well, I actually like Disney movies, I think they're sweet and pretty and entertaining and the animation in them pleases me - then I get The Look. Suddenly I'm a heretic/naive fool/a general idiot.

What?


So, I decided: fuck them all. Why the hell should I give a damn what you - yes, YOU - think about Disney? I know what I like, I know where I'm going to send a portfolio when I graduate, I know what makes me feel all warm and bubbly inside. People adore David Lynch and I can't understand it, but for pete's SAKE, people, live and let live! Pardon me if I happen to like movies that make me feel good about myself, other people, the world and life in general. It doesn't always have to be about misery, angst, blood and guts.

I think that at the end of the day, art is all about different opinions. People like different things. I wouldn't hang a post-modern geometric painting on my wall, and you probably think Michelangelo is about as great as old lettuce. I love country music, you hate Elvis. It doesn't really make either of us a better/worse person.

Goddamnit, people get on my nerves sometimes. I'm going to go feed my cat.

Female graces

I don't think I've praised the wonders of the more graceful sex enough in this blog. So, to correct that minor mistake: women.


Also, watched Pirates of the Caribbean 1 with my sister today while soaking our feet in a herbal bath, and that drove me to read through the 7th Sea games from this winter.

I only have one announcement to make: holy shiiiit I LOVE Thomas! D:

RDWRER

Dear dad,

we have a very nice car. It's a relatively new VW Passat, with a nice four cylinder diesel engine, manual gear and it goes from 0 to 100 kmph roughly in 11 seconds. Its color is a stylish graphite gray. Very nice personality as well, hence the fond nickname Keijo. It rolls on the road so much better than our previous wreck, and is much less girly even despite the occasional cup holder in the front door. SO I'D VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DIDN'T WRECK MY PLANS BY STEALING IT AWAY TO THE SUMMER COTTAGE JUST WHEN I'D NEED THE GODDAMNED THING.

No love,

your daughter.

A tip of the hat

Sigh, it seems I just can't get over this movie. Bear with me, or skip the following.



I'm terribly sorry, ladies and gentleman, but I officially called dibs on Dr. Facilier before the majority of you even knew about him. I've always had a soft spot for cartoon characters, because real people are boring like that. Just ask me how many 2D villains alone I've had a crush on since I saw my first movie ever (Beauty & the Beast). Go on, ask! I dare you!

Muita uutisia leffarintamalta: olen katsonut melko paljon Bollywood-elokuvia viime päivinä. Heittäkää Hollywoodia kivenmurikalla ja napatkaa käsiinne joku Intian elokuvaindustrion aivolapsi - esimerkiksi Saawariya tai Devdas tai mikä tahansa Sanjay Leela Bhansalin teoksista. Hitto vieköön se mies osaa pelata valaistuksella ja frame compositionilla. Moljotin luukku auki monessa kohtauksessa!


Tämän kaiken jännittävän elokuvahurmion jälkeen olen myös leikkinyt journalistia (jota huomasin saattavani haluta tehdä työkseni jonain päivänä, ikään kuin B-suunnitelmana) ja leikannut tukkani. Oululaiset, kannattaa käydä katsomassa Oulun Työväen Näyttämön kesäteatterin Aarresaari mikäli joudatte. Hyvää näyttelijäntyötä ja ihanaa seikkailumeininkiä, tunsin olevani taas kymmenenvuotias pikkutyttö pää edellä puskaan rytisemässä mielikuvitusmeriseikkailun tuoksinassa.

Iltamyssyilen tässä vielä hetken ja menen sen jälkeen nukkumaan. Kun osaan nuo Frog-previewvideot ulkoa, that is.
