Aladdin w/Film Maker's Audio Commentary

Watched The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad from beginnng to end. This one of my all-time favorite Disney films. I remember seeing this in the movie theater as a young boy, and then when I worked in the Mickey Mouse Theater in Fantasyland at Disneyland in Anaheim, I got to show it as two separate films.

"The Wind in the Willows" is such a good movie, and of course the Legend of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow is just reason enough to watch the "Ichabod" story.

We also watched Black Rain Special Edition. One of my more favorite Michael Douglas movies.

Pirates of the Carribbean- Captain Jack rocks!!!

Friday the 13th (1980) - 3 times. I watched it first at about 4 AM (I think), then again at about noon. Then again about 3PM.

Scary Movie - hilarious. But I always feel bad after I watch it because it's disgusting.

I feel almost the same way. The movie is amazingly disgusting. And not very funny. So, I feel bad when I'm actually watching the movie. But am not guilty for laughing at the 4 or 5 small parts of the movie that actually are funny.


Friday the 13th Part 2 - I didn't finish it yet. Had a house problem, had to stop the tape, but I will finish it either tomorrow morning or soon after I get offline.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Not bad for a chick flick. I was pretty much forced to watch it by a female friend, but thankfully it wasn't 2 hours of torture.

The Little Mermaid... OF COURSE.

It finally came in the mail on Friday.

Ug - October is so the Worst Month for The Little Mermaid to have been released! It's too cold to go swimming or even watch Pleasent movies where people are going swimming / take place in the water (or under water). Not to mention - it's Horror and All Hallows Eve month and this movie serves as the perfect thing to get peoples' minds off of it, even the Weirdo families that think Disney movies have become too Devil-friendly are turning hypocrit because they want to be sick of the sight of pumpkins. If I hear 1 more thing about The Little Mermaid, I'm going to smash my VHS copy of this movie into a hundred tiny pieces. Enough is enough.

Only destroy your VHS if you plan on buying the Platinum Edition DVD.

I LOVE that movie! Not many people seem to know about it.


I just finished The Butterfly Effect 2, not as good as the 1st, but it was ok

The secret of NIMH My favorite non-Disney animated movie.

From my favorite film noir collection I watched:

Point Blank with Lee Marvin and a very young, beautiful Angie Dickinson.

Double Indemnity with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson.

The Hitch-Hiker with William Talman, Edmund O'Brien, and Frank Lovejoy.

Just three great movies to pass the time away and smile.

I'd probably just smash both.

The TLM-lovin' here is just too much for me. It's a nice movie and all, but there's waaaay too much praise for it and I'm feeling smothered in both noob and vet forum member gushing for the film. In a month or so, we'll be back to regular forum discussions since nobody will think they have anything to look forward to anymore since TLM came out.

Enough really is enough.

Let's not forget about Peter Pan and The Jungle Book for next year. Many users, who loved those films so much, will start using PP-and-TJB-related avatars and signatures and kept in their profiles for a month. Ahhh...good ol' Deja Vu.

I'd agree with both of you, Escapay and Lazario. I can't take much of the TLM-lovin' anymore. I like love this film as a child, but too many users with TLM-related avatars and signatures makes it a huge fanbase.

Goodness! Some of you need to calm down. Who cares if almost everyone is excited about The Little Mermaid? It's a Disney film, a very popular one at that, and we are at a site dedicated to Disney, so it's not all that surprising that you will find a great deal of The Little Mermaid lovin' going on! Just to push Lazario over the edge, which will prompt him to destroy his VHS tape of The Little Mermaid, I'm going to watch it, again!

So, anyway. Last night, I watched Beauty and the Beast: 2-Disc Platinum Edition. That is one great film!

I forgot to mention it a couple days back, but, being in the Halloween spirit, I watched A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. I forgot how much I enjoyed that film as a teen!

It's not so much about caring that everyone's excited about the film. More of the fact that the UD community is suddenly 99% gung-ho about TLM, and I'm just waiting for the storm to be over and things go back to normal.

The Peter Pan craze in early 2007 won't bother me too much, as I enjoy it immensely over TLM. I'm just patiently waiting for the May-August time when there's really no *big* title to expect and things are normal around the forums. It always gets a bit crowded every Platinum month, then dies down eventually.

This is so not about The Little Mermaid or the fact that the Platinum just came out. It's the fact that it came out in October and Halloween only comes 1 month a year. The fantasy films were for early October. But we're more than halfway through the month now. It's time to get serious.

At least until Halloween day itself, then I say if you've watched enough horror and scary movies - you can enjoy a day of festivities, friends, and kiddie fare, TV specials, and cartoons out the waahzoo. I still haven't decided what I'll be doing that day. If I get in the required amount of Halloween-themed cartoons before the day arrives, it'll either be raining Contemporary Horror Digest entries or I'll rock the horror marathon to make up for my neglecting it so terribly so far this month.


And speaking of marathons - my slow, painful marathon of Friday the 13th continued. I restarted and finished Part 2, then watched Part 3 all the way through. And I finally saw Brian De Palma's Sisters (1973), which I've been dying to see for years. This, by the way, was the biggest influence on that Simpsons Halloween Special / Treehouse of Horror episode where Bart had an Evil Twin who the family kept in the Attic. It was great.

Darkness Falls - Another good horror flick that I like a long with Lady in the Water.

Not to rain on Escapay's parade, but around May everyone will be going gung-ho for POTC: At World's End. I will be the leader of the one-man Obsessed POTC Brigade.

Cheers,
JM
