So you only know who a quarter of the half blood prince is.

Alex · 12-14-2009, 08:33 AM

I stayed awake through the whole thing but must admit I have absolutely no recollection of who or what the half blood prince refers to in the title.

I'm struggling ot remember any events from the movie at all and all I'm coming up with are:

1. Dumbledore and Harry visit the set of Beowulf (sadly minus naked Angelina Jolie) and

2. Snape's visibly uncomfortable constipation finally gets the better of him and he does something bad.

I guess I better read some recaps to remind myself of the other stuff before I have to see the last 16 hours of movie.

Disney continues its trend towards more diverse princesses

We saw Princes and the Frog tonight. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The kids in our audience seemed to have a good time and no one semed overly scared. Most of the little ones didn't seem to be scared of the Voodoo stuff and all squelled(sp) at the fireflies.

I had a good time with the boy and know that soon he may not want to go to "kids" movies with me anymore, so I enjoyed it even more.

Soon, like me, you may have to go to such movies alone. Sure, I get the occasional odd look, but ...

About 80% of the movies I see in the theater I see alone. Never noticed anybody caring in the slightest.

These days, never. But back in my college days, I would often find myself the lone non-parent adult at showings of Disney films, (this was before the big Disney renaissance of the early 90s) and I definitely got suspicious glances from parents wondering why I would possibly choose to be there. I even recall one of them asking me why I was attending "The Fox and the Hound," and I felt silly explaining to them that I was there because I enjoyed animation.

I saw "The Fox and the Hound" alone during college in the '80s, but I don't remember it being animated. I think everyone in the theatre was there alone.

Wait. That was "The Foxxx and the Hound."

Saw Princess and the Frog - Animation was fantastic proving my theory that its an underappreciated art as of late. Everything else was pretty weak. Music was decent but nothing that had me running out to buy the soundtrack or realy remember. The story was different but was really all over - which I'm sure was written by committee and it shows.

Best part was the Firefly - really well done and voiced very well. The scene with them in the swamp was very Disney/Magic which was lacking from the rest of the movie.

Better than Pocahontas in many ways but not quite to the Hercules & Huntchback levels IMHO. Beautful to look at though.
