It's true, I am insane.

Somebody tell umeyard to stop trying to bankrupt me. I barely got out of the DeepDiscount Buy 2, Get 1 sale under $30. I just trimmed everything away until they were almost all really terrible movies that I just have to own. (glvalentine, be proud of me?)

Remember last summer when I tried to drag people to the theater to see Mannequin? Yeah, well, um, you don't have to go to the theater any more! You lucky people! I did pick up Say Anything to counter that. (God, I'll never be able to watch it though; that movie breaks my heart every time.) Ever After is a toss-up in terms of taste. My stupid girl heart gets all fluttery and wuvvy-wuvs it. My cynical side sits and speculates about how many venereal diseases people in the movie probably have.

And, unrelated to the sale, because it was $6, I bought He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword. Sing it with me now ('cause I know feiran is, and she's probably hating my guts right at this moment):

A stranger walked into my wooooooooooorld
And when he talked, I really hhheeeeeeeeard
He spoke of things like love and peeeeeeeeeeeeeeace
The joy they bring will never ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

For the honor of looooooooooove
By the power ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE
I have the pooooooooooower, I have the pooooooooooower!

I rewatched Secret of the Sword a few years ago (then lent it to a friend who went home to Lebanon then dropped out...yeah, I'm never seeing that DVD again). It hurts to watch. OMG so bad.

The thing that got me about Ever After is the anachronistic glitter in the ball scene. Glitter.

We watched Secret of the Sword not too long ago, and it was brilliant. There's so much gayness in 80s cartoons that just got condensed into this one movie. So what if it, like every other cartoon movie of the decade was a rip-off of Star Wars?

Ever After is just forgiven for all its anachronisms, kay? When you throw Leonardo Da Vinci in as a match-making mensch, you pretty much throw everything else out a window. (THAT THEY PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE EITHER.)

Ever After is also a tragic waste of Anjelica Huston.

But it was entertaining, mission accomplished, as far as I'm concerned. :)
