I watched the animated film, Megamind last night.  I enjoyed it.  It reminded me a little of Dr. Horrible, as they were both anti-hero villains that you can't help but love.  Only Dr. Horrible was still the anti-hero stayed villain, but whatever.  Of course I absolutely ADORE Dr. Horrible and this was nothing compared to its greatness, but it was still enjoyable none-the-less.


Reasons for liking Megamind:

01: I like Will Ferrell.  I like his pish poshy accent for Megamind.
02: I thought that Megamind was pretty attractive.
03: I liked Megaminds little fishy Minion.
04: I liked how they kept using classic rock for his big intro's.
05: There were parts that were funny.
06: I liked how Metro Man was voiced by Brad Pitt (I'm not a huge fan of his, but I do like his voice).
07: I liked how Metro Man knew it was all happy banter back and forth between him and Megamind.
08: I liked how Metro Man really always did like Megamind and how he said at the end, "Way to go, little buddy.  I knew you had it in you..." when Megamind became the hero.

Reasons why I wouldn't own Megamind (unless it were really super cheap or given to me):

01:  It wasn't that good for christ sake.
02:  I did not like the character of Hal/Titan, so much so that I couldn't get over how annoying he was.  So annoying in fact that he took me out of the film and I wanted someone to just get rid of him right away, but oh NO, he has to be in the ENTIRE film.
03: I am not a fan of Jonah Hill (Hal/Titan)... I do not like his voice.  It is like nails on a chalkboard to me & since he has most of the film to talk through, it's just a no go for me.

I am glad I watched it.  It was certainly enjoyable for a once over, just not, in my opinion, for my own weird reasons, good enough to own.

The Sneakiness of White Cake...

We're having white cake! What sort of melodrama could be brewing back there? I, myself, am not even a fan of white cake.  Sure, I enjoy cake, but it's not a top contender for taste.  But there was some sort of subliminal messaging going on in the film, Django Unchained, because after seeing it last year in the theatre, I wanted white cake.  Rented it two weeks ago, & again upon seeing it, I really, really wanted white cake.   Leonardo Dicaprio, as the character Calvin Candie, only utters the words 'white cake' a total of four times.  Perhaps it is because they are uttered in about a 15 minute time frame, or because he keeps holding a plate of cake or wanting everyone to eat it.  I'm not really sure.  All I know for sure is that I needed white cake, all because of his white cake scenes.  I was so intent on the subliminal messaging of 'white cake' that I even made a soap that smelled like it, before...   I eventually made wh...

These guys had a name? These guys... I LOVED these guys when I was a child.  Well, the smaller one's because they were the only one's that existed in my small world.  They were HUGE in the early - mid 1980's and were all over the place.  Girls would have them stuck to their Trapper Keepers, they ended up in Easter baskets, came with Valentine gifts.  Just everywhere I went someone had at least one. And then they were gone.  For so long that I had completely forgotten about them until I was in Michael's craft store yesterday evening.  My sister (who was really into them as well) had forgotten about them until I showed her the package I was intending to purchase. Is that to avoid copy-rights or am I safe in assuming no one knew they had names? So, we get a little nostalgic and happy.  I purchase them intending to give away one with each of my valentines.  Then we head to Target and we get to the Valentine candy section and their huge promo...

When Gus was a Mexican ghost... it was epic

Gus is a museum curator ghost Recently I went through and read my children's books to see what I'd be keeping and what I'd be giving away.  I did a previous blog post about what I found from that read through, here .  But this post today is much lighter and less scandalous.  This post is about Gus the Friendly Ghost.  There were three books and I adored them when I was a kid.   The first, titled Gus the Friendly Ghost, is about Gus living in the attic of a home.  A family resides there through the spring and summer months.  In this story, when the family leaves for autumn, a mouse moves in.  Mouse and Gus have a lot of fun, but Mouse shows jealousy when the family returns and Gus has to mediate and say they all have to get along.  Great story, but rather boring.   I'm guessing things didn't go as smoothly as Gus intended in the mediation, or else him and Mouse have amnesia, because a few years later, Gus and The Baby Ghost s...
