Spartan Girl

Love that moment. It’s just like the part in Coco when the concert audience all turn on De La Cruz after his crimes are exposed via hot mike. And once again, cartoon characters show more sense than real life people. I know the moment in The Holiday where Iris finally tells Jasper to fuck off has probably been mentioned, but hell, it’s Christmas, and it deserves mentioning again. It hits differently with me this year, since I now know how hard it is to cut a toxic relationship despite wiser people repeatedly telling that you need to do it.

Well, Alexei and Bucky made a pretty good team.

They came up with that name by bastardizing the late, great Howard Ashman’s “Proud of Your Boy” song from Aladdin (cut from the film but put in the Broadway musical) where Aladdin promises his mother he’ll be a better man. But these fucks believed that men shouldn’t be sorry for anything that they do, and that all women are just bitches.

Welp, it’s Christmas Eve. Hope you guys are enjoying the holidays. I’m going to try to drown my sorrows in Muppet Christmas Carol and delude myself about Christmas miracles. @Wiendish Fitch you showed amazing restraint with that coworker.

American Dad Christmases never disappoint. Stan unwittingly crashes Bullock’s party as Mrs. Claus’s date. And Santa’s back from the Jingleverse as a hard-bodied rocker. Dick singing “Blue” was gold. “It’s snowing, bitches!” Lol anything to have Lewis scream randomly. Never thought I’d see Francine and Hayley giving Santa marriage advice. It truly is a new chapter in the relationship…at least it was until Mrs. Claus made up that story about her and Stan hooking up. Knew it wouldn’t last lol. Wow, a cameo from Animated Seth Macfarlane!

Morrible really isn’t much of a singing part on the stage show either. She’s got a bit part and a couple of songs.

So after all these years, I finally found a script draft of what the original Howard Ashman Aladdin draft was. And wow. I already knew about cut characters like the mom, Aladdin’s buddies, and that early Jasmine was a spoiled brat…but I had no idea that that Aladdin winds up with another girl, a fellow street kid/best friend Abbi. Mind blown! Part of me can’t help wondering if Abbi wound up being reincarnated as Sadira in the TV series, what with her Nice Girl tendencies and all.

This episode was great! I have nothing negative to say whatsoever! Gold star!

Also, i just realized that Sadira’s wedding dress in the fake reality had a better neckline than Jasmine’s in the third movie! No fair! She should have gotten those awful shoulder pads! Bitch!

@Blergh he lived at his hovel throughout most of the series, unless he and the others crashed at the palace for some reason or another. Unrelated to the topic but I hope that clears things up.

Say what you want about Blake but she did not deserve any of this.

The minute I saw Scarlett on the cold opening, I knew they were doing the WU joke swap. I was howling the whole time. The car skit was my favorite. I love Martin Short.

I’ve started rewatching Disney’s Aladdin: The Animated Series, and I kind of have to appreciate how they developed Jasmine here. She got to be a badass action girl, yes, yet at the same time the writers weren’t afraid to make her come off as too feminine. She was a princess, she liked jewelry and looking pretty, yet that did nothing to take away the fact that she would end you if you pissed her off. On the other hand, she was the token girl of the group and the writers never gave her any other female friends, except for Sadira, and I have to side-eye the way the writers rushed her “redemption”. Is it really realistic to be friends with a girl that used magic to steal your life and mind-rape your boyfriend? The show also gave us a female genie named Eden. Yes, she was Genie’s girlfriend but like Jasmine, she was awesome in her own right. Unlike Genie, she was savvy enough to exploit loopholes in wishes by evil masters. It’s a damn shame Eden never got to have an episode with Jasmine, they could have been an awesome teammate.

Hey so the forums look screwed up since this morning. Is this a problem on your end?

Finally watched it on Prime. While it was dumb in some places, it was no dumber than other holiday movies I’ve watched, and I cannot deny that it was entertaining. Lucy Liu, where have you been?! Good to see ya!
