So, this post is about three days later than I intended to make it, because I had it almost finished and accidentally closed the window and LJ for some reason decided not to autosave it...

Anyway, once upon a time, Disney decided to jump on the ‘teenage versions of the fairy tale characters you know and love’ bandwagon about two years too late, and made a move called Descendants. The premise of this movie is that the Disney villains were defeated and banished to an island called the Isle of the Lost, which has a barrier around it to keep them in and magic out. The Disney heroes live on the mainland, in a single unified kingdom ruled by Belle and the Beast.

Now it’s 20 years later, and the teenage son of Belle and the Beast, Ben, has decided, for no apparent reason, as it’s the first scene in the movie and he’s given no motivation, to invite four of the teenaged children of these villains to go to his fancy prep school with him and his friends and have a shot at a normal life.

This movie is not big on explanations, like why Belle and Beast get to be the grand high king and queen, or why Ben chose these four villain kids to come, but it really doesn’t matter. I was super excited to watch it, not least of all because they somehow got Kristin Chenoweth to play Maleficent.

Thus, I present to you the notes I took while watching this crack-tacular movie, updated with small, very spoilery, plot summaries so you can follow along. Though I must say, if you like Disney at all, it’s totally worth your time to watch this.
They're rotten to the core. Kind of. )


So, that's that. Someone please tell me they also watched this. Or at least watch Chenolificent's dance so we can talk about it.
So, I'm not going to attempt to actually liveblog the Grammy's (although the DVR would sure make it easier) because I like my hands too much. But please enjoy some thoughts as I watch it. I will also try to highlight the winners for you, so you can know what's up even if this is the only Grammy's blog you read.


Cut for spoilers, language,

And all the school closings covering the bottom quarter of my screen )

Goodnight everybody! I'll try and update with some pictures tomorrow.

ETA: Pictures added! 
Time for some Golden Globes red carpet fashion opinions! Not going to comment on every dress, because we all have lives.


Cut for length )

H'ok, I guess that's all the fashion we're getting for tonight. I don't have the energy to liveblog this whole show, but I encourage you to watch it, because everyone (Meryl) is there to get their drink on. Also, I'll try to get some pictures up here for you all later. :D


ETA: Now with pictures!

I haven't been to too many places outside the US; the only other countries I've visited are Canada and China. I have been to a lot of different states, however, and driven/traveled through even more. Some highlights of the places I've been include New York City, Chicago, Nebraska, The Great Wall, and Disney World!


And now, Face Off! )

ETA: Pictures added!


Answer to last Tuesday's song: The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, by Leonard Nimoy. If you haven't seen this, you totally need to. No one guessed this.
Face Off time! )

ETA: Pictures are now up!



Answer to last Tuesday's song: Ghostbusters, by Ray Parker Jr. No one guessed this, though it was a ghostly song to go with the ghost episode of Face Off.
Post two for today! I sense that this is going to be a theme on Tuesdays until Face Off is over.

Face Off!!! )

ETA: Pictures are now up! Even if you don't watch Face Off or read these liveblogs, you should seriously check out the look Roy did this week. :)


Answer to last Tuesday's song: Holy Grail, by Jay-Z ft. Justin Timberlake. Against all odds, I love this song. 
And now, your regularly scheduled Face Off liveblog!

Laney is bummed out )

ETA: Pictures are now up! Especially take a look at Laura's. :D

Answer to last Tuesday's song: Aliens Exist, by Blink-182. This was to go with the alien challenge on Face Off last week, but no one guessed it.
In the week since last episode, I've totally forgotten what this week's theme was going to be.

Nonetheless, it's time to Face Off! )

ETA: Pictures are now up!

Everyone ready for the Face Off liveblog? I hope to update tomorrow with pictures, just like I did the the Project Runway liveblogs.

Answer to last Tuesday's song: He is Not Dead Yet, from Spamalot. [livejournal.com profile] becofoz got this one right!



Now with pictures! Be sure to look at both links for each contestant; one is the full look, and the other is a close up of the face.
How would we feel about a Face Off liveblog? I realize that it's partway through the season already, but I kind of miss liveblogging and I really love Face Off and I think you all should love it too.

On that note,
Face Off spoilers! )


Answer to last Tuesday's song: Treasure, by Bruno Mars. This song is my JAM right now, and I can't believe no one guessed it. :(
So a few seasons ago, I liveblogged Project Runway. And it was fun, but I had band on Thursdays, and then we moved, and it kinda fell by the wayside. But now I have time and feel inspired again, so here we go!

I missed the first episode last week, but I just saw the last half hour of it right before this episode, so I'm kinda caught up. I am intrigued by this season because:

1. Teams = drama. At least they're just coming right out and saying it this season, instead of claiming that it's a solo competition and then making them work in pairs or groups every week anyway. I mean, if you're going to milk the fighting and under bus throwing and backstabbing for drama, you might as well be honest about it. This was done to make drama, and there will be drama abounding, and I will REVEL IN IT.
2. Michale Kors is not there. this actually makes me sad, because even though I usually didn't agree with him, he was freaking hilarious. I'm interested to see what judging will be like with him gone.

Spoilers for the second episode under here! )

Ooh, designing for Heidi next week! That's always fun.
