I am allowed to change my mind, no?

Dear friend,
I know that I am recorded in this blog as being sick of the song "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. I changed my mind. I've done this before, hated a song at first listen, and then (usually after everyone else is sick of it) I end up liking it. I think all I needed to like this song was a story to go with it. The music video seemed void of a story, and I didn't really get the story to the dance choreographed to it on So You Think You Can Dance, but this fan video for Psych's Lassiter and Juliet made a sweet story to me.
I'm so happy that Psych is returning this Friday. I decided to check out a few of the site's I frequent during the season and came across this gem. Enjoy it.



To be completely off-topic, the "Mr. Opportunity" ads for Honda are back and I am just pleased as punch to randomly hear Rob Paulsen again! I think he'll always be one of my favorite voice actors, if only for Yakko alone. Back to your lives!

Lather, Rinse, Repeat endlessly

Psych is back of Friday, I don't know if I could be happier about a TV show. I don't know if I anticipate LOST as much as I anticipate Psych. The previews look really funny. Well... that is, they did until I saw them so many times that I can almost say them along with the television. Still, I love Shawn and Gus. I've been watching the reruns this week, at midnight (1 AM bedtime, so fun... unless you want me to be useful before 10:30 AM) and I've just now noticed how Shaw and Juliet look at each other. It's cute. I can't tell if it's supposed to be like that on the show or if it's just because the actors are dating. Either way, I think it's kind of sweet. Just please, don't make them date on the show, that gets annoying. If they did that we'd have to have a storyline about whether or not Shawn will tell Juliet that he's not really psychic. Only Shawn, Gus and Shawn's dad should know that.

Last night's SYTYCD, *SQUEE*!!! Benji and Pasha in the same room, and Pasha dancing a Benji choreo! Love love love! OK, I'll try to stop being a fangirl now. (Why was Benji wearing those horrific glasses? and why didn't anyone other than Cat acknowledge Heidi's existence?)

The Singing Bee vs. Don't Forget the Lyrics: winner (for me, at least) Don't Forget the Lyrics. People kept saying the shows were identical, but thought they're based on the same concept the formats are different. And DFtL is decidedly less annoying. What's with the annoying dancers on TSB? Wayne Brady's a more entertaining and endearing host than Joey Fatone, as well.

I'm going 21 days without secular music. It's a sort of fast, it's driving me nuts. Unless it's on TV (and I won't turn on music videos, despite that loophole) or playing in a store or some such place, all I'm listening to is Christian. Kind of hard, actually, but fasting isn't supposed to be easy.

*squee* inducing

OK, so I saw Ratatouille today and I adored it. What a fab movie! Remy, so cute! Emile, even cuter! Linguini, wanna hug him! The food, want to eat it!
Also, Lifted, the short before it is quite humorous. It was a wonderful lead into the film.
The plot is a little predictable, but it's OK because you get involved with the characters. You know what's going to happen, but you still enjoy watching everyone get there. I can see how some critics think the love story comes out of nowhere, but that's only, I think, because they don't pay attention when we first meet Linguini. It didn't feel tacked on to me. Then again, I'm a slight romantic. I loved the fact that the characters felt like real "people" even if they weren't all human. There were times I wanted to tell Remy, "You look like your dad when your upset."
The atmosphere was amazing. I wanted to hop a flight to Paris.
Now, in describing food, I'll say whether I think Remy would eat it or Emile.
The "acting" for Remy was so good that I didn't notice at times that he'd gone for a good while without actually speaking.
I just adore this movie. It's my favorite Pixar film so far. The way Brad Bird does movies is great. This film's ending isn't fairy tale perfect, though it's far from realistic. Every issue addressed in this film isn't fixed, just like all the problems and issues in life aren't. I think Brad Bird has a way of presenting reality in kid's movies that is true and painfully honest sometimes. For example, in Incredibles, the scene in the cave where the mother tells her kids that the villains aren't playing, they could actually kill them, honest and real. Or again in Incredibles, commenting on how society isn't rewarding people for being special by giving everyone rewards whether they deserve them or not. True, very honest. I like Brad Bird. Go see this movie, NOW! OK, maybe not now, but soon, OK?

In case anybody is wondering who I'm rooting for in So You Think You Can Dance, it's Pasha! Go, Pasha, Go!

That day has come!...... and passed

So, I've been waiting for a very loooooooooooooooooong time for "them" to put Animaniacs and/or Pinky and the Brain on DVD. Oh, joyous and happy day I had yesterday when I expactantly walked into my nearest Wal-Mart (soul-devouring pit that it is) and came out with the first 22 or so episodes of both neatly packaged on little discs. Well, that and bird toys and gum and Snoopy Come Home on DVD... never let me alone in a Wal-mart, ever.
I watched the first disc of P&tB last night, subjecting my father to a marathon of cartoons (Love ya' Dad!). I'm surprised I chose to watch the mice before the Warners, A! was my favorite in years past. But who knows why we do the things we do. If I begin to start randomly singing "Brain Stem, brain stem!" then I cannot be blamed, I adore Pinky. (Rob Paulsen..... you rock, is all I can say, sir, You Rock.)
I only watched the first episode of A! and the interview of various voices featurette (Rob Paulsen!!!) and am eagerly looking forward to the rest of all of them.

Now, what we need is Freakazoid on DVD, and my preteen years of cartoon veiwing will be complete. (I think, I can't remember what else I watched back then.)

So, my WB TV animation collection now has the Looney Tunes Golden Collections (not really TV, but oh well), Batman: The Animated Series, season 1 of Animaniacs, season 1 (sort of) for Pinky and the Brain, and season 1 of Batman Beyond. Yep, I want Freakazoid now.

On a completely different note: Benji should so win So You Think You Can Dance. I love that guy (in the exact same way I love Elliot Yamin, of course)! He's amazing!
