[The10spot] 104: 10 lessons you learned from Disney Movies

[deep_red_bells]

1) Aladdin: Keep your promises and evil Viziers won't screw with your friends. Also, magic carpets own.
2) Beauty and the Beast: Chicks who read are awesome, even if people think they're strange.
3) The Little Mermaid: Right, so I really hated this movie because the only lesson it seemed to teach was "You're not good enough the way you are for the guy you want, so change." Screw that. The music was awesome, though.
4) Mulan: Yes, stupid world run only by those with penises, women can kick ass too.
5) Finding Nemo: When life gets you down, just keep swimming. Also, fish are friends, not food.
6) The Incredibles:  You can be special in ways the world may never fully understand and still have a life. It might not be a textbook, normal life, but you don't have to hide who you are.
7) Pirates of the Caribbean: Was a there a lesson to that movie other than Johnny Depp is extremely hot in eyeliner? If there was, I think I missed it.
8) Mary Poppins: Thank God I'm not British.
9) The Lion King: Sometimes destiny is a bitch, but running from it doesn't solve anything.
10) Enchanted: Oh, so you were aware just how badly most of your heroines sucked all these years. Good to know.

8) Mary Poppins: Thank God I'm not British.

Lucky, lucky girl.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I rather think so! Though Rowling kind of made me wish I was.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

No, just no. Continue to be glad that you are not, though, I will admit they have come a long way through the years.

07 - Pretty sure it also teaches us that the only thing hotter than Orlando Bloom as a Pirate is Orlando Bloom as a Pirate Soaking Wet.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

YES, thank you, I knew I was missing something.

Also, WTF, second movie, add scruff and dirt and suddenly Norrington is sexy?

[msattentionspan]

Eh, I dig a man in uniform, but the dirt scruff was proven way back in the day of that Lord of the Rings movie. I mean I saw that Aragorn guy and was pretty much intrigued. Not enough to sit through three hours or anything, but seeing the commercials for the last one? He looked horrible cleaned up.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I think the lack of powdered wig upped his sexy factor a lot too, in hindsight.

Oh, yeah, he was. At least at the end.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

#2 also taught us that big, hairy, cranky guys that growl a lot can also be pretty cool.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

No no, that's what Wolverine taught us. ;)

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine...him and my dad. ;)

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Touche.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you know I'm right.

Speaking of big grouchy hairballs...how are you guys? I mean...you and Pops. You're cool, right?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

We're all right, I think. We haven't talked much lately.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

You should...in fact, you should like, get him out of the fucking house or something. Slave Girl's driving him crazy.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I got news for you: Slave Girl is driving us all crazy.

[locked]

I so don't think I'm the person to be 'getting him out of the house,' Hank. I don't think Julian would like that very much.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

She ain't that bad...this is just my father we're talkin' about here.

[locked]

If you guys really are friends, shouldn't be no thing. It ain't like my dad's gonna make a play for you. There's a dojo a few blocks away, make him go.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

She so is that bad. She's annoying.

[locked]

You make him go.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

She's getting better!

[locked]

Dude, I give my dad orders? I get grounded...I'm waiting until after I ask Joe out before I start mouthing off to him.

He'll totally do what you say, Bee...just kick him outta the house already. Please?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Define 'better.'

[locked]

Fine. I'll kick him outta the house.

I hate this, Hank, I hate this a lot.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

She backtalked Dad the other day when he told her to do something. You should've seen her when he told her he was proud of her, man.

[locked]

I wish you wouldn't hate it.

He smiles more since you two talked...I know it's hard, but he's been really happy since then. I don't know what you said to him, but it's like he's got hope again.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

She backtalked? I'm stunned.

[locked]

...Seriously?

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

So was he. I think she was, too.

[locked]

Dude, have you heard him yelling and screaming and cussing? He was quiet when he was all depressed and shit. I mean...you know how he feels, you're still talking to him, and he didn't lose you. I guess he figures he won his lottery, dig it?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I bet.

[locked]

Not really with the digging, no, but all right. So long as you think he's all right, I believe you.

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

[locked]

I don't think, I know.

I still say you should hang out with him more, though. 'Cause you're both morons, and you're both good for each other.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

[locked]

*sighs* Hank...

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

[locked]

Seriously, I'm not being an asshole! God, you two are exactly alike...

locked

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

We are so NOT exactly alike! We are night and DAY, munchkin!

Re: locked

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

You are peanut butter and motherfucking jelly, sister. You fucking belong together, period.

Re: locked

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

No. We don't.

Re: locked

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

You both work too hard, you can't admit when you're WRONG...you never go out and have fun...if Blondie Bear weren't hanging in our crib, you'd never go out for shit. Admit it.

Re: locked

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I like staying home with my books. I like my quiet time. So what?

-HACKED- [locked]

[love-inchains.livejournal.com]

Kid's got a point, Bee.

Re: locked

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

No, she doesn't. I am not a sixteen year old kid that needs to go out to clubs every damn night. It's called being a grownup. What I REALLY need is my own apartment and a damned job.

Re: locked

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

Add a half dozen cats, and you're officially a spinster. With a boyfriend.

I'm right and you know it, *Dad.*

Re: locked

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I don't like animals enough to have half a dozen cats. A dog, maybe, someday. MAYBE. No cats. Cats are evil.

Was there a point to all this besides you being a brat and shoving me at your father, AGAIN?

Re: locked

[hank-callahan.livejournal.com]

I'm not fucking shoving you at my dad, I'm shoving you both together and OUT THE DOOR. You seriously need to loosen up. You take this whole deal with him WAY too fuckin' seriously...if you're really set on being his friend? Fucking enjoy it, will you?

I think the pole up your ass is even BIGGER than the one up Dad's, swear to God.

Re: locked

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

SAME. THING. You're shoving me at him and I don't like it. Yes, I'm his friend. In the same way I'm Denny's friend and Nathan's friend, and we don't exactly go shopping and have mochas together either. Now shut the hell up, mind your own business, and back the hell OFF.
