Twisted Princesses, Disney Goes Dark

Nice to know that I've made some small (if dubious) contribution to AIAF's culture...

Agreed. I think it's now officially part of our own lexicon

I wonder if that phrase could ever wind up in "Alone in a Crowd" itself....

....hmmmmmm

That's why extra material exists, after all I can see why they'd change it as well though. But yes, you're doing well to avoid the rest of the franchise. Don't let it tarnish that which is pure!

Hahahaha, I like the fanart! Though (and you guys are probably going to lynch me now...) I don't think I've ever seen "Robin Hood" either. At least not all of it. If I DID, it was when I was very very young, because I certainly don't remember any of it

Now that I KNOW I've never seen before. Should I "Get myself hence" to the video store?

Now that I KNOW I've never seen before. Should I "Get myself hence" to the video store?

YES! Get the hence to teh video store!

Man, I want a chance to use the "Get thee hence..." line...

Boy, I sure like the anime movie The Girl Who Lept Through Time. It was a really nice twist on the "time travel" genre.

Has anyone else seen it?

Not yet...

...but I *will* be getting me hence (how's *that* for a turn of phrase!) to my local video store when the DVD comes out. (I'm also waiting for Ponyo and Astroboy! *squees with delight* )

Oh yeah, Ponyo! I forgot about that one. I want to check it out when it hits DVD.

The Girl Who Lept Through Time is already on DVD though. So GET THEE HENCE!

Reynard: Cool fan art your friend drew, thanks for sharing!

Also, Ponyo seems awesome cute. ^w^
And, well, Astroboy = classic. I'll get ME thence when I can, 'cause I haven't seen it or read much of it yet. But I'm even more interested in Bagi to be honest...

And, TOM: yep. I think there's a reason why they cut bits of a movie / alter it, but I think it's fun to sit and consider why. Hobby damage I guess.
Also, sometimes they don't take bits away for the right reasons (pacing and balance) but for such reasons as controversy (scenes in Leon, for instance, that made the movie much more welded together as a whole when left in).

How right you are. I can't tell you how many times I've watched some deleted scenes on a DVD or Blu-Ray's bonus features and said to myself "OH!!! That would have made SO much more sense if they left that in!"

What's even worse is when you listen to commentary tracks and hear the director say said scenes weren't cut because they felt they were BAD or anything like that. Too often it seems like they're just cut "for time." Granted, sometimes there are instances where you should cut for time, because proper pacing really is the key with telling a story. I just think it's a shame when worthy bits get cut for commercial reasons.

Is "Leon" that "Leon the Professional?" I've heard that title before, but never saw it.
