tristan and dinglehoppers

Today I watched Legends of the Fall, which I haven't watched in years. It was my favorite movie for the longest time, and watching it again made me remember why. It's a beautiful, beautiful movie...and I'm not just talking about Brad Pitt and his gorgeous hair. The way the story was told is beautiful...all that tragedy...the score is beautiful, the scenery...everything.

Later on, I watched The Little Mermaid. It was released in 1989, the year I turned 3. I have a vague memory of watching with my dad with all the lights off, and Ursula scared me. Then my mum came home, and she had with her a chocolate ball. I love how it still makes me laugh. Like when Scuttle the seagull tried to explain the function of a fork (which he called a 'dinglehopper') to Ariel, he said "Just a little twirl here, and a yank there, and voilà! You've got an aesthetically-pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over!" :)

Good times.
