    So, is it like a perpetual motion machine? It's only purpose is to sustain itself and continue indefinitely?

    My wife said he's going to the "Invention Convention" and I believe her.

    Yeah, Gaston is all, "FAKE NEWS" and then lays down some alternative facts. I'm sure glad we live in a time and place where such obvious manipulations are impossible...

    Is xXx suitable for my four year old son? Keep in mind, he reeks of Axe Effect and is totally X-treme...

    When did we decide as a culture that if someone runs an Asylum they must be evil? Some people have serious problems and need a place to go where they won't be a danger to themselves and others. Also, in any other Disney movie, Gaston would be the hero. They think a Beast is kidnapping villagers! And they're not wrong! I'm with the mob on this one--just like the people sadly waving their handkerchiefs from their windows as the angry mob passes by down below. These people weren't there to either see the Beast in the mirror or hear what's going on, yet they automatically cheer the pitchfork wielding rabble on! Are riotous mobs so common in this small, provincial town that when they see one forming they just fall in line behind them?

    His return policy is amazing! He's like Audible. Also, I'm concerned that she's the most literate person in town, but she just seems to be checking out, like, Jack and the Beanstalk and Snow White. And for some reason, these fairy tales are multiple chapters long...

    Quick question: I keep reading that people are being told via the newsletter that they're doing the new xXx movie. I still haven't gotten the newsletter thing to work for me. Is that really happening?

    To be fair, whether I subject you all to Rockula or not is entirely up to Fister. But if you just want to watch it, I'm not going to stop you.

    Hey man, I would be happy if you were to type "Musical" in IMDb and pick one at random. . It's all for fun. No one expects anyone to be an expert.

    This morning as we were getting ready to go out, I asked what my son wanted to watch. He said he wanted to watch Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse--because it's almost February and of course he does. Anyway, I noticed that in the movie (which is peopled by many disparate Disney characters) that The Beast and Lumiere have reverted back to their cursed forms. Isn't this kind of a bummer message to be sending to kids? Like, after everything that happened in this movie, apparently The Beast had a relapse to his horrible, eleven-year-old ways and has evidently re-cursed everyone all over again. Apparently, True Love isn't a good enough deterrent to prevent recidivism.

    Despite what Wikipedia says about it being cut for time, I really feel like the reason the song "Human Again" was cut originally was because it was too depressing to see all these zany characters expressing anything but joyful enthusiasm with their shitty lot in life.

    When Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts are singing "there's something there that wasn't there before" and Chip keeps asking, "What?" why can't they just say "love?" His future is just as wrapped up in The Beast's love life as anyone's. Instead, Mrs. Potts just says that she'll tell him "when he's older." Just how exactly are they expecting this curse to be lifted anyway? Also, Mrs. Potts. Do you think there was a Mr. Potts? Do you think somebody dropped him?

    Oh! That's a relief. And, yeah, just the one Jaws. Although...Janet Varney and Cole Stratton do a pretty good Riff on Jaws 3. Sorry for the deviation. We can go back to BatB now

    Quick Letterboxd aside: Tom, what's up with all the shark movies? I'm getting worried. Should I be getting in touch with Asylum de Loon?

    I just wanted to say, I know it might sound like I've been shitting on this movie, but I really do like it. I like it in the same way that I like the OT Star Wars movies. It's like I love them so much, and know them so well, that I can't help but tease them a little bit. This really is a fantastic movie. I also have a lot of happy memories tied up in it. My first "girlfriend" and I watched this together at her parents' house for our first "date." For those interested, we dated for 6 months and I kissed her once--and only under duress from some older kids. But they didn't get it, guys. I was playing the long game. Anywho... Great movie! And while I don't mean to be disrespectful, I expect I'll be making fun of it a lot more.

    Okay, that made me chuckle like an idiot to myself.

    Deep cut. Speaking of the mirror... When Belle consults it she sees her father struggling in the woods--presumably lost. However, when the mob goes after the Beast they seem to have no trouble finding the castle. In fact, it looks like the path they take there is either paved or extremely well-worn. Including cutting down trees for battering rams, it seems to take them, I don't know, thirty minutes to get there--tops. I guess what I'm trying to say is, maybe Belle's father should be put away for his own good. I know it's a harsh reality, but he really doesn't seem capable of looking after himself anymore.

    Gah!!! You beat me to it! Why would the person who cursed him give him that?

    Oh! And I am really concerned about Gaston's cholesterol level. Five dozen eggs is waaaay too many. Also, Belle, go easy on the sugar in your oatmeal. It's too much, girl. This was Cameron's Guide to Healthy Eating.

    First of all, my wife had a great time watching this over lunch. So, thanks Taylor Anne! Okay, I think I'm about to crack this thing wide open. When Belle pulls Beast away from his dinner (seriously lady, let me finish eating), Lumiere waves his hands in front of a faceless candelabra and makes the flames dim to a romantic glow. It was then, with the help of my wife, we stumbled upon a couple of truths... First, the people were cursed but the objects are enchanted. Basically, if an object has a face or voice it was once a living person. If it's just a faceless dish serving grey goop, it's an enchanted object. Second, if you're a cursed person, you hold dominion over similar enchanted objects (e.g. Lumiere can control other candlesticks. Mrs Potts can control dishes.) Following this line of thought, we then stumbled upon the idea that Cogsworth must therefore control TIME ITSELF! This would explain certain age discrepancies and how an entire village could forget about their former rulers in less than a decade. Cogsworth has been slowing time to allow the Beast more time to find true love. However, he can't stop time all together so the rose is still wilting. If you consider the flower's deterioration, you see that at the beginning until about two-thirds of the movie, the rose is doing just fine. It isn't until The Beast lets Belle go, thus condemning not just himself, but all of his servants to the enchantress' curse, that the rose begins to shed petals at a quicker rate. That is, Cogsworth--despondent over his liege's decision--allows time to move forward again, thus resuming their inexorably march down the path toward their inevitable damnation.
