The Badassiest Disney Badasses of all Time

10. Wart/King Arthur - I have love for this kid. Even though people were always picking on him, he turned out to be a really spectacular king of Camelot. He was just so totally adorable. And he was friends with Merlin and Archimedes, and, as far as I'm concerned, grew up to be Richard Harris. And nothing is more badassy than that.

9. Flotsam/Jetsam - Eels are vicious and scary.

8. Pocahontas - Duh. She can paint with wind. How many people can use an intangible object as their art medium? Approximately NONE. Plus, I mean, she saved John Smith from death, which is pretty badass, considering the fact that the WOMAN is usually the damsel in distress. But not Pocahontas. She can speak languages she's never heard before and has a tree for a grandmother. The broad is tough.

7. Shere Khan - WHAT A BABE. I wish I had Shere Khan following me around at all times just saying words in his smooth, coffee voice. And he is so cool and fierce (until they tie fire to his tail, but that's understandable) and waits patiently for his prey. He would just raise an eyebrow and flick out a claw and Kaa would just do whatever Sherey said, despite the fact that he had powers of hypnosis. Because Shere Khan was just THAT powerful.

6. Robin Hood - Robin Hood is a fox. And he would steal from the rich and give to the poor, which is honourable, I would say. Plus, I mean, King John was sure to be known as John the Worst, and everyone knows his people forced him to sign the Magna Carta and give up his Divine Right of Kings, so obviously he was a weenie and deserved to be robbed. And Robin Hood was skilled with a bow and arrow. I'm a sucker for good archers.

5. Aladdin/Shang- They go together because they are strong men with no nips. They are athletic and have street smarts and, eventually, no parents. Aladdin goes from being a street rat to being heir to the throne of...Iran? Saudi Arabia? I can never remember. And Shang can carry both his and Mulan's water bucket thingies. PLUS Aladdin is Steve from Full House and Shang turns into Donny Osmond when he sings. OMG SO HOTT.

4. Jafar/Scar - I put them together because they are very similar. They both have beards that are so...twisted, and they are both inexplicably British. And they both have that calm evilness going on...it's real nice. Of course, they are different in their own badassy way. Scar sings that fantastic song, and Jafar turns into an all-powerful genie. But their villain-nosity is essentially to kill and take power. But they're also somehow very endearing. It's probably the British thing.

3. Basil of Baker Street - Well, aside from being a total hottie (for a mouse, at least), he's super intelligent and has incomparable powers of deduction and backwards reasoning. He totally figures out Ratigan's evil plan and TURNS THE TABLES. THEN HE KILLS HIM. PWN! He is also physically fit, which makes him a superhero. Intelligence + strength = awesome!

2. Mulan - Gurl please. She pretty much single-handedly SAVED CHINA. CHINA! And she cut her hair with a sword and even though she saw her reflection and didn't know who she was inside she still managed to be swift as a coursing river with all the force of a great typhoon with all the strength of a raging fire mysterious as the dark side of THE MOOOON! SHE WAS A MAN, EVEN THOUGH SHE WASN'T. Ahh, so FYRCE!

1. Mufasa - DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY IT? He was so sagacious and proud, and he was SUCH A GOOD LION KING and was only killed because he was saving his stupid weenie son. And he could make those hyenas wet themselves practically with a single roar. But he lives in you. He lives in me. He is the freaking man (figuratively, obviously). PLUS HIS VOICE IS SO GORGEOUS. And his mane was very well-kempt, which is, of course, a plus.

Cuentame un Cuento

I tire of the monotony of life my house. I desire some juice.

But, ho! I am not doing my homework. I cannot make myself be interested in World War I, and I haven't the foggiest idea how to even begin talking about affirmative action in Spanish. I would rather talk about How many years have you been a man?

On the bright side, my iTunes is working again.

On the other bright side, I'm going to quit school and become a hobo or any other delightful profession that does not require physics skillz.

I'll practise. Let's see. I think I shall be a movie critic tonight, in honour of the injustice that is the Academy Awards.

Movies That Have Won Best Picture That I Have Seen

1. 1943-Casablanca
I wouldn't trust anyone who does not at least enjoy this movie greatly. It is just so good. It begins during WWII in the city of Casablanca, where people wait to make the passage to safety. Generally, though, they end up getting stuck. Fortunately, AHA! There is a bar. The locals call it Rick's. That's because it is named Rick's, after Humphrey Bogart's character Rick Blaine. He is a rather mopey fellow, but he says lots of famous lines. We see people doing immoral things in order to gain a trip to...the happy place. I can't remember exactly where they're headed. Probably America. Anyway, surprise! Bogey's old flame pops in with her husband. "Of all the gin joints," he says. "We'll always have Paris," she says. Sam plays it again. It turns out her husband is not dead, but a Jew on the run! SPOILER ALERT: So then they leave! It's the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

2. 1950-All About Eve
This is about some actress chick. Shere Khan and Marilyn Monroe are in it. That's about all I can remember about this film.

3. 1951-An American in Paris
So Gene Kelly is an artist in Paris. He has a buddy who loves some chick. One day, Gene sees a lady with a huge mouth (Literally, her mouth is quite large. I don't mean she speaks a lot.) that is so attractive that he cannot even pay attention to the manly woman who is trying to snare his affection. So then he sexually harasses the French girl, and they dance by the river. Only OH MY GOSH it turns out she is his buddy's girl! And Gene is so sad that he wears a black and white joker's outfit to this party, and it is there that Big Gob and he hook up and have some CRAZY dance number that I will never be able to interpret and they live happily ever after. Oh, and he sings to some little kids. They love him! But that is earlier in the movie.

I'm skipping some, because it turns out I have seen more than I bargained for.

4. 1965-The Sound of Music
Julie Andrews is a nun, but she is so fail because she loves to sing about hills being alive. She is such a rapscallion that the other nuns cannot even solve the problem of Maria. So they do what everyone does with failures--they put her in charge of seven children with a crazy father who whistles at them. And at first they pull some silly prank on her, but then she teaches them about Do-Re-Mi and makes them clothes out of curtains and keeps them from being afraid during a thunderstorm, and they grow to love each other. But then that ho Liesl's boyfriend (who, by the way, is seventeen going on eighteen) does something scandalous which has slipped my mind as it was clearly way over my head the last time I saw this movie. SPOILER ALERT: Anyway, they have to climb over the aforementioned living hills to Austria or Switzerland or some neutral country that lies behind some mountains. IT IS SO GOOD.

5. 1994-The Lion King
Let's pretend this movie won Best Picture, shall we? Seeing as how it is The Best Picture of All Time, I think we can at least say it was the Best of 1994. When I think of 1994, I think of The Lion King. I'm sure the rest of the world says the same. Anyway, it starts of with this great song about the Circle of Life ruling us all through despair and hope through faith and love  'till we find our place on the path unwinding in the Circle, the Circle of Life. And all these animals are flocking to a pointy rock to see the presentation of the king's newborn son. So they sprinkle him with some fruit juice and then hold him up high to the sky and everyone bows. But guess who isn't there. MUFASA'S EVIL BROTHER, SCAR. He is playing with a mouse, the jerk. It turns out he wants to be king when Mufasa is dead, so he goes all Hamlet and arranges the death of Mufasa and his son, hereafter known as "Simba." Only Mufasa saves Simba so he ends up living, but the hyenas chase him off into the sunset where he lives off of bugs and the motto of "Hakuna Matata." Then he gets all grown, and his childhood love, Nala, leaves Pride Rock in search of help because Uncle Scar has totally screwed up everything with his meticulous planning, tenacity spanning, decades of denial, what have you. Anyway, she finds Simba and they Feel the Love Tonight and she looks at him REALLY SEDUCTIVELY. But her prostitution doesn't pay off because she is way too nosy. It is not until Rafiki the baboon-type monkey comes and Mufasa appears in the stars that Simba is convinced to return and have an epic battle with Scar. And, wouldn't you believe it, Scar stupidly admits that he killed Mufasa and all hell breaks loose, ending with the hyenas attacking Scar and Simba retaking Pride Rock. Then, the rain clears and everything is good again. POW! THE LION KING.

I think it is safe to say I have found my calling.

"Persepolis" (Sony Pictures Classics): Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud
"Ratatouille" (Walt Disney): Brad Bird
"Surf's Up" (Sony Pictures Releasing): Ash Brannon and Chris Buck

Ratatouille. Surf's Up was cute, but the rat pwns. And isn't that other one about Afghanistan, or something awkward like that?

Achievement in art direction
"American Gangster" (Universal): Art Direction: Arthur Max; Set Decoration: Beth A. Rubino
"Atonement" (Focus Features): Art Direction: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer
"The Golden Compass" (New Line in association with Ingenious Film Partners): Art Direction: Dennis Gassner; Set Decoration: Anna Pinnock

Sweeney Todd was visually intriguing. Although I might have to change my opinion after I have seen Atonement.

"Atonement" (Focus Features): Seamus McGarvey
"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" (Miramax/Pathé Renn): Janusz Kaminski

I don't remember the costumes from Across the Universe being anything exceptional, unless they're talking about the weird naked rock dancing ladies or something. So I'm going to have to stick with Sweeney and reserve my right to change.

"Michael Clayton" (Warner Bros.), Tony Gilroy

"Norbit" (DreamWorks, Distributed by Paramount): Rick Baker and Kazuhiro Tsuji
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (Walt Disney): Ve Neill and Martin Samuel

WTF, Norbit? I guess I'll go with Pirates, although that movie was not as fantastic as it should have been. The French one will probably win, but I'm still mad at the lady for beating out Ellen Page, Amy Adams, Nikki Blonsky, and Helena Bonham Carter for the Golden Globe.

OH MAH GAH CHARO

Let's go over the 2008 GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS!

Best Picture-Drama
  • American Gangsters
  • Atonement
  • Eastern Promises
  • The Great Debaters
  • Michael Clayton
  • No Country for Old Men
  • There Will Be Blood

I haven't seen any of these, so obviously I should not be allowed to say which I would like to win. (Atonement)

Best Director-Drama
  • Tim Burton-Sweeney Todd
  • Joel Coen and Ethan Coen-No Country for Old Men
  • Julian Schnabel-The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  • Ridley Scott-American Gangster
  • Joe Wright-Atonement

Well, I've only seen Sweeney Todd, but I thought Tim Burton did a fantastic job. I don't know about those other dudes, but it seems like it would be pretty hard to compete with Tim.

Best Actor-Drama
  • George Clooney-Michael Clayton
  • Daniel Day-Lewis-There Will Be Blood
  • James McAvoy-Atonement
  • Viggo Mortenson-Eastern Promises
  • Denzel Washington-American Gangster

So I haven't seen any of these guys either, but James McAvoy is kind of a cutie, so there you go.

Best Actress-Drama
  • Cate Blanchett-Elizabeth: The Golden Age
  • Julie Christie-Away From Her
  • Jodie Foster-The Brave One
  • Angelina Jolie-A Mighty Heart
  • Keira Knightley-Atonement

I don't really have an opinion on this one.

Best Picture-Musical/Comedy
  • Across the Universe
  • Charlie Wilson's War
  • Hairspray
  • Juno
  • Sweeney Todd

So here's the thing. I LOVED every single one of these movies. I don't think I could possibly choose just one of these. Honestly, I would be happy if any one of them won.

Best Actor-Musical/Comedy
  • Johnny Depp-Sweeney Todd
  • Ryan Gosling-Lars and the Real Girl
  • Tom Hanks-Charlie Wilson's War
  • Philip Seymour Hoffman-The Savages
  • John C. Reilley-Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Tom Hanks, I love you dearly. But I think Johnny Depp was just too too good as Sweeney Todd.

Best Actress-Musical/Comedy
  • Amy Adams-Enchanted
  • Nikki Blonsky-Hairspray
  • Helena Bonham Carter-Sweeney Todd
  • Marion Cotillard-La Vie En Rose
  • Ellen Page-Juno

Oh gosh. The girls totally pwned the boys this year. I thought Amy Adams and Nikki Blonsky and Helena Bonham Carter were fantastic, but I think I'm going to have to stick with Ellen Page on this one.

Best Supporting Actor
  • Casey Affleck-The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
  • Javier Bardem-No Country for Old Men
  • Philip Seymour Hoffman-Charlie Wilson's War
  • John Travolta-Hairspray
  • Tom Wilkinson-Michael Clayton

Meh. I don't really care. Just NOT John Travolta.

Best Supporting Actress
  • Cate Blanchett-I'm Not There
  • Julia Roberts-Charlie Wilson's War
  • Saoirse Ronan-Atonement
  • Amy Ryan-Gone Baby Gone
  • Tilda Swinton-Michael Clayton

Don't really care on this one, either.

Best Animated Feature Film
  • Bee Movie
  • Ratatouille
  • The Simpsons Movie

Ratatouille
. How are the other two even ON this list? Bee Movie was dreadful, and I didn't see The Simpsons Movie, but I can't imagine that it was even close to being as great as Ratatouille.

Best Foreign Language Film
  • Four Months, Three Weeks and Two Days
  • The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  • The Kite Runner
  • Lust, Caution
  • Persepolis

N/A

Best Screenplay
  • Diablo Cody-Juno
  • Joel Coen and Ethan Coen-No Country for Old Men
  • Christopher Hampton-Atonement
  • Ronald Harwood-The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  • Aaron Sorkin-Charlie Wilson's War

Juno Juno Juno
!

Best Original Score
  • Into the Wild
  • Grace Is Gone
  • The Kite Runner
  • Atonement
  • Eastern Promises

N/A

Best Original Song
  • "Despedida"-Love in the Time of Cholera
  • "Grace Is Gone"-Grace Is Gone
  • "Guaranteed"-Into the Wild
  • "That's How You Know"-Enchanted
  • "Walk Hard"-Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Well, this is the only one I've heard, but "That's How You Know" is SO great! I'm pretty sure it beats all the others.

I don't feel like doing the TV ones. And this took forever to type, so I hope you appreciate my sacrifice.

Free Nachos

My stalking skills have gotten so good. Let me show you.

Obviously, I was playing the six degrees of Mufasa game, when I realised that Enchanted was trying to hide some secrets from me. Clearly they were not aware of the fact that I have inherited my mother's CIA skillz.

Fact 1: When James Marsden (phwoar) is knocking on all of the apartment doors looking for Amy Adams, one of the doors is answered by a pregnant woman with kids (whom IMDB calls "Pregnant Woman with Kids"). She has one line: "You're too late." This woman is Judy Kuhn, who provided the singing voice for

Pocahoho!

Fact 2: When James Marsden (phwoar²) is in the hotel room with Timothy Spall, they are watching a soap opera which involves a woman totally dissing some dude. This woman is Paige O'Hara, whom we know as

a most peculiar mademoiselle.

Fact 3: Patrick Dempsey's receptionist, Sam, is Jodi Benson, who is also

not as cool as Courtney.

So there you go. I spend my time productively.
