It is simply too good for words.

woes...

When rightstuf.com had their Tokyopop sale a while back, I put in a bunch of preorders, including the second Kino no Tabi novel. Was looking at my order earlier, and saw that the publisher had cancelled the order.

Not exactly a shock as it's around a year and a half or more late at this point, but woe, much, much woe.

(Anyone know where I can read translations of all the books that didn't come out here?)

movie: Enchanted

In a fairy tale kingdom, and evil queen(naturally) rules.  Her greatest fear is that her very sweet, brave, heroic, and dumb stepson, Edward, will one day meet a girl and get married, thus supplanting her.  To prevent that, she's kept him busy doing incredibly heroic things like wrestling trolls to keep him from meeting girls.  Except one day, he hears a beautiful girl, Giselle, who lives in a cabin with all her woodland friends, singing and, being a fairy tale prince, is instantly in love.  Soon, Edward has rescued Giselle from a troll and caught her as she fell to her near death, and they have declared their love and decide to get married the very next day.  The queen, of course, is having nothing to do with this, and when Giselle arrives at the palace the next day, she pushes Giselle down a well that sends her to the real world.

What's a fairy tale princess to do in the real world?  Get very, very confused, then find a safe place to stay while she waits for her prince to come and rescue her, of course.  She finds her safe place with a lawyer named Robert and his daughter, Morgan, and begins to innocently wreak havoc on their lives.  Edward, meanwhile, is having none of this fiancee disappearing down the well business, and, accompanied by Giselle's chipmunk friend, Pip, follows her into the real world.  Robert no longer believes in romance, and his girlfriend, Nancy, longs to be swept off her feet, but realizes she's lucky just to find a decent guy.  Giselle begins to realize there may be more to life after happily ever after, and Edward, sweet and heroic as he may be, desperately need a woman capable of thinking for two people.  

The outcome is obvious, but getting there is a blast.  Virtually every scene and moment in the fairy tale world is almost directly from one Disney fairy tale movie or another, some almost copied, and many scenes in the real world are scenes that start to do that, but get interupted by reality.  There were a few times I had to rewatch scenes(like the entire first 12 minutes, before Giselle gets to the real world) because the laughter was making me miss things.

I have to say, as much as I loved Robert and Giselle, the best parts were James Marsden's sweet but dumb prince, and Susan Sarandon's evil queen.  Also, James Marsden finally got a break.  Sure, he didn't get the girl he crossed worlds for, but he got someone much better suited for him.  Who seems smart enough to think for two.

Definately far, far better than the last movie in this vein that I watched, Happily N'Ever After.  And I think it was better than Shrek, too.

i love the internets

So, in addition to the strike that I'm too lazy to link to again on Friday(now tomorrow for many) there are apparently plans for a porn battle, to flood LJ with the things SUP supposedly discriminates against to make sure fandom is noticed(I say "supposedly" because I'm not convinced it's deliberate so much as being overly cautious/paranoid-the second on both sides-combined with poor communication and customer service.)

All I can think is that the two will just cancel each other out.

I'll just be going about my normal business, personally. (Partially because I've seen rude comments about anyone who doesn't participate in the strike on a couple communities-no rudeness from anyone actually on the f-list, mind you-including a few implications that those not participating are elitist homophobes in comments a couple times.)
