Talkie Tuesday: Aladdin

 

"A whole new world ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I can't believe I've never talked about this movie on my blog.

 

To be fair, however, I'm looking back through ALL my blogs, and somehow, not many of the classic animations even made it on here?!

 

I've apparently been sleeping on these!

 

Dishonour on my cow LOL.

 

ANYWAY.

 

Without further ado, let's go change that right up, shall we? Just like they say in the opening song: 

 

Come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly to another Arabian night!

 

And this time, it'll be a hot one, because it's going to be with this street rat named Aladdin.

 

Tome Thursday: The Last Wish

Hello everyone!

I'm currently on a Witcher binge, as you may be able to tell, so naturally the book for tonight is going to be covering the world Sapkowski dreamed up, too.

I should at some point actually sit down and start reading Blood of the Elves, but the thing is, I tend to need a bit of a break between my reads when I'm doing a series, and this one is no different. Especially since there are characters within it that I just can't stand.

On the surface of it, however, the books that launched Geralt of Rivia out into the wide world certainly have a way of drawing the audience in; it's later on when you dig deeper that you may find certain personalities you might wish to generally avoid.

Of course it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be agreeing with me - heck, I already know a lot of people who don't!

Without further ado, then, let's stop chatterboxing about things that aren't important.

The Last Wish wants to be introduced.

Talkie Tuesday: Aladdin

"A whole new world ..."

Hello everyone!

I am BACK after taking a bit of a break and heading off to a vacation which consisted of no computer but a whole lot of books and rewatching movies I hadn't seen in years.

Harry Potter, I'm looking at you.

But then once I got back home I felt like there were other movies I should probably take a look at after I caught up with all my shows, and one of the first that caught my attention was a live-action retelling.

There's something to be said about those.

Disney has been punching them out like they're being made on one of those conveyor belts that goes round a manufacturing plant and people add things one after another in rapid succession. I do have to admit they're entertaining to watch, however.

So grab your flying carpet and hold on to your monkey, everyone, because it's time for a whole new world.

Or in other words, Aladdin.

Talkie Tuesday: Doctor Strange

"It's not about you."

Hello everyone!

Finally, everything seems to be settled enough so that I can write up a blog post on the day it's supposed to be written. I feel so accomplished, haha! 

Luckily, I seem to have found a knack for managing my time a little bit better. It's amazing how much the house of cards can come down all around you when you stop paying attention for even the slightest moment, and then once that happens EVERYTHING follows right along that track, no questions asked.

Lists are my new favourite thing and my best friends. I kid you not.

Which is truly sad, considering the fact that I used to make them but then fell out of the habit ... and now I'm back in the saddle, so to speak! But I'm rambling like a teenager out on her first date so I might as well get to the point.

This past weekend, I finally, FINALLY sat down to watch Doctor Strange, and I say 'finally' with a note of annoyance at myself. I don't usually dawdle so much with Cumberbatch's movies.
