Note

what if someone confused the servants with the royals, cuz they dress better than adam and belle?

OMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMGOMOGMGOMGG

some Visiting Noble™ comes along by the palace for tea and crumpets. He’s a little confused because he forgot?? this existed?? for like ten years???? but he’s going to do his best and Pretend He Knows What’s Going On

the front door is opened by a rag-tag little guttersnipe with flyaway brown hair and machine-grease stains on her apron. ��can i help you?”

he pushes right past her and proceeds along to the visiting salon. the little village wench wipes her hands across her rose-embroidered bodice, shrugs her shoulders, and clomps off in little brown boots to go do some more inventing.

the visiting salon is almost empty except for one man dressed in a tatty blue dressing gown. He’s flipping through a book and doesn’t notice the Very Important Visiting Noble™

the Very Important Visiting Noble™ barely notices him, either, because something large and gold and smiling just exploded out of an alcove to shake his hands and hug him and welcome him!! W E L COME him!!! to the palace

ah! thinks the Visiting Noble of Very Importantness™. found the master!

‘WELCOME MONSIEUR! HOW ARE YOU THIS FINE DAY?! PLEASE SIT DOWN ! OH DO LET ME FETCH YOU A CUP OF SOME HOT WINE !!’

‘oh, i’ll go get it, don’t trouble yourself,’ says the small tatty blue man in the corner

the Noble of Important Varying Visitness™ waves off this tiny servant who must be the maître d’ and returns his attention to the fine gold-bedecked specimen standing before him. “Pardonez-moi de ne pas vous avoir visité plus tôt. J'ai été différé, ce qui signifie que j'ai été empêché de rencontrer votre chère femme.”

The royal prince beams with the sunshine of twenty royal courts. “You are too kind monsieur! It is rare for people to ask after ma chérie—truly strange, as she is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom!”

I did hear she was something of a beauty, thinks the Very Visiting Imported Noble™. And oh Christ! She is!

The Princess, who has feathers in her hair and dancing brown eyes, curtsies and welcomes him very sweetly. She inquires after his health.

Truly of aristocratic blood, thinks the Visiting Import of Noble Variety™ with approval. I’d heard she was from the countryside, but she has all the manners of a Parisian countess.

“Et avez-vous de la famille, Votre Altesse?” She pretends light confusion in answer to his question, but he rights the problem himself: “Ah! Je présume qu'il doit être ton père. Charmante!”

The man who has just entered has a soft, white halo of a wig, and the fine long hands of the noble blood, and a coat bedecked with fine white embroidery. Next to him, deep in discussion, there’s a scrappy older man with paint on his coat: the court jester, or something; possibly even the trash man, with the state of his clothing.

The Princess still seems a tad distressed, but he knows this is merely what the womanly fashions dictate at the moment. The Nobility of Varied Importance™ runs to shake the hands of this fine gentleman, and push off the odd paint man. “Quel plaisir de vous rencontrer et votre charmante fille. La vraie royauté ne peut pas cacher sa forme, non?”

“Ah! Monsieur! You mistake the Maestro for—” begins the golden prince, but everyone is momentarily diverted by the shabby blue-clad man bringing in the tea things.

“Anybody else want anything else?” asks this weird servant, so casually that Le Compte de Visite Très-Magnanime™ is thoroughly offended. But the Prince—showing true nobility—waves off this grave matter as if it comes from a friend, not a peasant.

“I could get you some chocolate hob-nobs,” suggests the servant. The Noblesse Oblige™ is shocked, absolutely shocked. He turns a vivid shade of red.

“Oh, I love chocolate hob-nobs!” says the golden Prince, lighting candelabras with his fingertips and setting them around the tea table.

“And while I’m at it, I’ll get you a couple other absolutely fabulous royals,” says the servant. “I’m sure Duke Chapeau is available. And if the jam-seller’s about—I mean, the Queen of Jamaica—should I get her as well?”

The Visiting Importance of No Verisimilitude™ sucks his teeth as this depraved specimen of the lower class shunts off to the hall, where he can be seen giggling with the gadabout scullery maid from earlier. Her hair has come quite undone, and her skirt is hitched up to show her bloomers. Disgraceful.

“Aren’t we ever going to tell him?” hisses Belle.

“Why not? Lumiere gets to entertain him for an hour, and we get the whole afternoon to scrub about in that blackberry bush I told you about.” Adam grins down at her. “Motion to get blackberry stains all over our faces?”

“Carried and seconded, Your Royal Majesty.” She curtsies, and trips, and grabs his hands.

The royalty scamper out the back door, and Lumiere toasts his guest with fire and wine.

Voyage sexiste inter-générationnel à travers des cartes de voeux

Coucou tout le monde ! Me revoici pour un n-ième article traitant de marketing genré. J'avoue que je ne pensais plus vous en reparler, parce que j'avais l'impression d'avoir fait le tour du sujet. En effet bien que l'ampleur du marketing genré soit très vaste que ce soit en terme de quantité, de diversité des produits et de stupidité, c'est quand même plus ou moins toujours la même chose. Toutefois, en allant chercher des cartes de vœux pour le mariage d'amis à moi (petit aparté à ce sujet : les fabricants de cartes n'ont apparemment toujours pas appris l'existence de la loi sur le mariage pour tous, pas moyen de trouver des cartes avec deux hommes ou deux femmes. Je me doute que la demande n'est pas la même que pour les mariages hétéro mais un ou deux modèles, ça serait sympa), bref je reprends où j'en étais, j'étais au rayon des cartes de vœux du Gibert Joseph de Marseille et je suis tombée sur des cartes d'anniversaire genrées et contrairement à mes prévisions initiales je vais donc vous en faire une petite analyse aujourd'hui parce qu'à mes yeux ça représente parfaitement la façon dont la société élargit l'univers des garçons en les tournant vers l'extérieur et restreint celui des filles en les tournant vers l'intérieur et en particulier leur apparence.

Je précise que Gibert a placé les cartes deux par deux telles que je vous les ai prises en photo , les unes dans la colonne hommes et les autres dans la colonne femmes, je suis pas sûre que ce soit la même édition pour chaque exemple, mais en tout cas quelqu'un a trouvé ce choix pourtant si stéréotypé pertinent.

Naissance

Mise à part l'habituelle et toujours aussi irrationnelle dichotomie rose-bleu entre petites filles et petits garçons, les cartes sont les mêmes. Il semblerait que l'âge de nouveau-né soit le seul où le sexisme n'existe pas, où les petits garçons ont le même bonheur que les filles à être entourés de petites fleurs et de papillons avec un esprit pas encore formaté. Puis le conditionnement patriarcal se ramène, les petits garçons gagnent des « couilles » et ne s'intéressent plus à un truc aussi futile qu'une fleur.

Bon, OK, j'extrapole un peu la carte, j'avoue mais reconnaissez qu'il y a du vrai dans ce que je dis… On ne naît pas sexiste, on le devient.

Enfance

Dans ce nouveau duo, on voit que pendant que les filles se baladent gracieusement parmi les papillons dans un univers tout rose, vêtues de rose, les garçons eux ont découvert l'existence des autres couleurs et ont exploré l'univers de Games of Thrones, Westworld, Pirates des Caraïbes et Gravity.

A noter que je suis pas sure que ça soit la même édition, j'avais pas pensé à vérifier sur le coup, en tout cas j'ai cherché la version féminine de la carte « garçon » et je ne l’ai pas trouvée.

Adolescence

1ere constatation : Les papillons chez les filles n'ont toujours pas disparu….

2ème constation : On peut voir que chez les garçons…Oh, et puis je suis vraiment obligée de faire une analyse détaillée, là ? Sérieusement quoi…

L'âge adulte

VIREZ MOI CES SATANES PAPILLONS, BORDEL DE MERDE !!!!!

Bon à part ça, je vais vous dire à quoi j'ai pensé quand j'ai vu ces deux cartes côte-à-côte.

J'ai d'abord pensé à ma maman qui posséde un permis pour piloter des navires comme celui que vous voyez sur la carte postale pour homme.

J'ai ensuite pensé au 99,8% des femmes de cette planète qui sans posséder un permis trois-mâts seraient sans doute beaucoup plus inspirées par la carte qui donne envie de s'évader sur les mers du globe que par les mièvreries roses habituelles.

Et puis, je me suis faite la réflexion que si la carte « garçon » adulte a bien évolué depuis la carte nouveau-né, sur la carte femme il y a exactement les mêmes éléments et dans la même couleur que sur son équivalent infantile, la poussette en moins…Voilà, voilà…

Ce parcours à travers les âges est à présent terminé. On a donc constaté que les garçons ont découvert l'espace, le far-west, Westeros, les Caraïbes grâce à leur dernière super-console de jeu dernière génération, ont exploré le monde en voguant sur un voilier magnifique, ont regardé la télé, écouté de la musique, bref ont fait plein de trucs trop cool. Pendant ce temps les femmes se sont baladées dans un champ de fleurs et de papillons, toutes habillées en rose et maquillées.

C'est assez fou. Je sais pas si les personnes qui conceptualisent ces cartes se creusent la tête tout les jours sans succès pour savoir quels pourraient être les centres d'intérêt d'une femme, et comme ils y arrivent pas retombent tout le temps sur les mêmes inepties. Ou s'ils (et je dis ils et pas iels parce que si c'est des femmes qui ont pondu ça franchement voilà quoi..) ont la flemme de chercher à faire une carte sympa et originale pour ces nunuches et se contentent de dispatcher les trois éléments féminins indispensables à leurs yeux, à savoir FLEUR-ROSE-PAPILLON DE LUMIERE de manière aléatoire sur un rectangle A5.

Bon c'est pas grave, j'en dirais pas plus je m'en fous de ces cartes de vœux en vrai. Bon je m'en fous pas, je me fous de ces cartes en particulier c'est qu'une goutte dans l'océan du marketing genré je vais pas m'insurger contre ça plus que contre tout les autres trucs genrés sur lesquels j'ai la flemme d'écrire des articles. Mais ces cartes sont métaphoriques d'une certaine dichotomie qui s'exprime de plein de façons différentes mais qui dans le fond est la même.

Les femmes sont préoccupées par leur apparence (intérieur)/les hommes par le monde qui les entoure (extérieur)

Les femmes s'occupent de la maison (intérieur)/ Les hommes travaillent (extérieur)

Les femmes sont timident, angoissées, ont la parole coupée, se laissent parler de manière infantilisante (intérieur)/ Les hommes sont le centre de l'attention, font plein de blagues, se laissent pas faire, coupent la parole (extérieur)

Etc etc…

Tout ça c'est des comportements conditionnés par les cartes de vœux, les jeux, les pubs….. dès le plus jeune âge et qui à force d'être induits finissent par être vrais et contre lesquels nous les féministes nous nous efforçons de lutter.

Pour finir sur une note plus positive, j'ai écrit cet article avec la télé en fond le mardi 22 août. France 2 diffusait la demi-finale de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby féminine (GROS big up à toutes les assos féministes qui se battent pour la visibilité des femmes dans le sport). TF1 diffusait Camping Paradis avec entre autres l'histoire d'un garçon qui essayait de faire tant bien que mal comprendre à son père que son truc c'était la couture et pas le foot… Donc oui, les choses évoluent dans le bon sens, mais des fois je trouve ça désespéremment long….

@aprinceinthetower plotted for a Victorian romance !

Belle Devereux had never had the luxury of living a simple life. She was well loved, when she was small; her mother had doted on her, before she died of consumption, and her father had adored her until his grief consumed him a mere three years later. Alone in the world and heartbroken at the mere age of six, and with no other family to speak of, she’d been sent to a girl’s school in a small town, for the wretched and unfortunate orphans of France, and she lived out her life there for the following fifteen years.

The school wasn’t a wonderful place, but it wasn’t dreadful, either; for one thing, Belle grew up with her nose constantly buried in books. Her teachers admired her for her quick wit and kind nature, and her classmates hated her for it in equal measure. They hated that she was bright, and intelligent, but most of all they hated that she was beautiful. Most of the girls abandoned to the school were thin, blemished, and of a generally imperfect nature, but Belle, from the time she was dropped on their doorstep at six years old, had always possessed an almost ethereal glow. She had warm eyes and rosy cheeks, a kind mouth and a delicate dusting of freckles. Her hair curled naturally - to the envy of every straight-haired girl that saw her - and she had a singing voice so pretty that it brought a tear to the superintendent's eye. Because Belle was so beautiful, and blessed with limitless other gifts, the other girls at the school sought to bring her down - because they were as ugly on the inside as Belle was enchanting on the outside. From her very first week at Villeneuve School for Ladies of the Less Fortunate, they’d taken to calling her cruel names; she was coined “odd”, “funny girl”, and “a most peculiar mademoiselle”, among others. Belle, innocent as she was, could never figure out why her classmates hated her so; she’d never been anything but kind to all of them.

But, possessing a wholly good soul and incredibly thick skin, the years of bullying and berating didn’t get to Belle. She only grew more beautiful as she aged, to the dismay of all who lived with her, and her intelligence expanded beyond the bounds of all of their minds put together. She poured through books with a vivacious thirst of knowledge and, by the time she was seventeen, she’d stepped up from the role of student to that of teacher, joining the staff of Villeneuve School and teaching its girl’s science, mathematics, Shakespeare, poetry, drawing, music, French and English. Not all of the teachers approved of her science and mathematics lessons; those were a boy’s faculty. They felt that her time would be better suited teaching sewing and needlepoint, but she left that to them. They could teach what they liked, and she only asked that she be awarded the same freedom.

Four years passed with Belle filling the post of head teacher and, while she wasn’t unhappy, she was not extremely happy, either. She’d known nothing of the world outside of Villeneuve School and its small, bordering towns; she yearned to see more of the world that she taught of in her geography lessons; to live the life of a romantic heroine, and do some good in the world outside of the school’s walls. Always a free spirit, she longed to break out of her confining routine and experience her life before it passed her by - and, while she loved her students, she knew that they couldn’t keep her content forever. She watched the girls come and go, but she always remained the same ever fixed mark. It was time to try something new.

So, aware that she was unqualified to do anything else, Belle put an ad in the local newspaper, seeking out work as a governess; if she received any responses, she would be getting a significant pay raise to her current post and a much needed change in scenery. To her immense pleasure, she received a letter just over a week later:

Assuming that Delaroy could only be the name of the estate she was to be employed at, and Tolbert its location, Belle had eagerly sought out the necessary proof of education and letters of recommendation from her superintendent and colleagues, and she was sent for by carriage to leave for her new post no more than a few weeks later.

Arriving at Delaroy Hall, her meager luggage in tow, on December 3rd, Belle was greeted at the door by a servant girl in maid’s clothes, with fine dark hair, kind eyes and a thick French accent.

“Tres bien! You must be la gouvernante de la petite miss! Come in, come in, out of the cold. I will fetch Madame Potts.”

After shouting for a chap called “Lumiere” to come and fetch her trunk and coat, the maid scuttled off down the hall toward the first floor sitting room and, moments later, another woman followed her back out, smiling brightly.

“Miss Devereux! Oh, we’re so happy that you’re here; the little miss will be thrilled. She hasn’t stopped talking about you since we told her she was going to have a governess to teach how how to be a fine and proper lady. Come in, out of the entryway! Plumette is fetching us some tea. You must be cold and tired after such a long journey.”

“It wasn’t terribly long,” Belle countered reassuringly with a grateful smile, handing off her belongings to the footman the maid had called down, surprised by how warmly she was being received by who she could only assume was the lady of the household. Madame Potts was what the maid had called her, wasn’t it?

“I’m just happy to finally be here. I’m eager to get started.”

Taking a seat by the fire when instructed, Belle appreciatively accepted a cup of hot tea when the maid - Plumette, was that her name? - brought it in. Turning her gaze back to Mrs. Potts, she asked, “Will I be meeting Miss Potts tonight?”

“Miss Potts-? Oh! Good gracious, no,” the woman laughed, shaking her head. “Miss Rose isn’t mine, although I love her like my own. I’ve only a son - Chip - and he’s off at school. No, no; Miss Rose is the master’s ward. Took her in when her mother died, he did; gave us all quite a shock.”

Laughing at the memory - a sound Belle found quite warm and comforting - Mrs. Potts took a seat by the fire, across from Belle. But this new piece of information gave her pause.

“The master - is this not your house?”

“Mine? No, not really. This all belongs to Master Adam; he inherited it after his father passed. I’m just his old housekeeper.”

Smiling as she sipped her tea, Mrs. Potts shook her head, and Belle blinked with surprise. In their correspondence, there had been no mention of a “Master Adam”; she had just assumed that Mrs. Potts was a wealthy widow, seeking to give her daughter a proper education. Not that this changed anything; it was just... something new to wrap her head around.

“And no,” Mrs. Potts added, “You won’t be meeting Miss Rose tonight. She’s been in bed for a while now, and I expect you’ll want a good night’s sleep, as well, before you’re introduced. She’s quite lively, that one. That’s why we were all so surprised when the master took her in; he’d always fancied parties more than children, much less excitable children. Or so we thought...”

My Favorite Beauty and the Beast Things

Review: Beauty and the Beast (2017)

· Note: will update this once it comes out on DVD and I can add gifs.

· To start off, I genuinely think this is the best Disney remake yet, it keeps the heart and best moments of the original while improving the story, developing the characters even more and making it its own with a few new moments.

· It's always difficult adapting an originally animated feature into live-action, technicalities and such that are sometimes impossible since you can do literally anything in animation and it's rarely questioned. In addition, this is a fairy-tale, logic and reality isn't 100% there. So some random character tendencies are glossed over a bit. They really improved the overall story with filling in a few plot-holes, little details that wouldn't have made sense in a live-action version. They brought a good measurement of realism while still keeping the beloved enchantment of the original. Adam was given a little more a back story, as well as Belle, and brought alittle bit more weight of the impending curse by taking away everyone's humanity if all had failed.

· The opening was very orchestrated and well-narrated in explaining some of the plot holes away, but I still prefer the stain glass, it was so beautiful with David's gentle voice narrating. Although, it was nice actually seeing it play out. <3

· Audra McDonald is queen. Right next to Julie Andrews.

· The enchantress just barging in cause it's odd that a prince would answer his own door. A+ to Stephen Chbosky & Evan Spiliotopoulos.

· I loved how even in the beginning of the film, we don't see Adam's real face until the end with Belle, with all that rococo make up and such. Just beautiful details.

· The script was very well written, with its foreshadowing and subtleties especially.

· I didn't know about anyone besides a few cast members (Emma, Josh and Luke) so it was ever a surprise when I saw Stanley and Audra at the beginning and Ewan and Ian at the end. :)

· "....athletically inclined."

· I understand the criticism with Emma's voice being "auto tuned." I personally wouldn't say auto tuned, maybe a little too unnaturally polished but I would give her some slack. She's not a professional singer, it's just softer in comparison to Paige O'Hara's Broadway experience. I do think it was better than having another singer on top of her acting, although debatable as that is, I think that would've been less well-received than what she gave us.

"Busy?" "...No."

· "It is love we must hold onto / Never easy, but we try."

· I like the addition that Belle is an inventor, it really adds a good sweetness and endearment to her and Maurice's relationship and it doesn't overshadow her character as a whole. She still mostly loves books.

· The placement of belle and her father's house was a little odd though, just in the middle of the square like that, I'm sure Gaston wasn't the only one to step on her cabbages, accidentally of course.

· "...his little wife. UGH!"

· I loved the small addition of Maurice getting Belle a rose, that's a nice nod to the original version of the tale by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and it does come back around more logically when Belle takes Maurice's place in the dungeon.

· Even the wolves felt more like their own characters, I really love the theory that they are the castle guards.

· Oh my gosh, the castle was so ridiculously rococo, I couldn't stand it! <3

· "Forget you? Everything I am is because of you."

· Emma's Belle was very well-done. In her acting, she brought a bold confidence to Belle. She's a lot more assertive in her actions and of course, headstrong, in addition to Belle's kindness and bravery that we all know and love.

· I was very surprised how Belle replacing her father in the dungeon scene was written, it was very different but I won't say better and I'll explain why. I liked how different they were, again partially separating itself from the original but still paying tribute to it. LA: Belle is more physical in her sacrifice, pushing Maurice out of the cell whereas A: Belle was more decisive and made a deal and gave her word that she wouldn't leave. That took a lot of courage and I'm not preferring one over the other because that's impossible, just acknowledging how different the two are even while they're the same character. I guess, I relate more to A: Belle's decision making where LA: Belle's quick-witted actions I look up to. Because of how that scene was orchestrated, it also bleeds into the differences of LA: Belle beating Lumiere with a stool and devising a plan to escape as soon as she got to her room and A: Belle making a deal and being given a tour by the beast on the way to her room as sad as she is. I feel like the original made more sense in that regard, but that's just me.

· Love how Belle asks him to come into the light and he doesn't so she brings the light to him.

· "Forever can spare a minute."

· I loved that the feather duster was also an enchanted flying bird, that was a beautiful and elegantly magical surprise.

· The effects of the magic mirror were a little too small which made it look weird to me.

· I felt that Be Our Guest was a little too focused on Lumiere and explosive with him flipping and dabbing everywhere (yeah, I caught that), just not as colorful as the original, but I do understand with how much detail they put into the set and costume design that an exact replica might've been too expensive to animate, which fits since it's not meant to be a carbon copy of the original anyway. · As much as I would've loved to see Human Again in the live action version, Days in the Sun was incredible. Plus that would be a lot of enchanted objects to render.

· "Days in the sun / Where my life had barely begun / Will I have leave you?"

"How in the midst of all this sorrow / Can so much hope and love endure."

· "I can feel a change in me. I'm stronger now, but still not free."

· All the little subtleties really made this remake shine.

· I was a little disappointed that the "Gaston trio" all looked the same and didn't have their different colored dresses but never mind... ;) and the girls do have their own individual patterns in you look close enough.

· I was surprised that Gaston actually went with Maurice to see about the beast, he did start off as an okay guy...but then he ties him up...

· "You need to help me. You need to stand."

· "...Okay, I'm older."

· The addition of the enchanted book was interesting, but aside from helping with belle's back-story more, felt a little unnecessary or just one too many magical items given by the enchantress. (She really wanted to torture the beast, didn't she?) But I do like that it was a nod to the Enchanted Christmas sequel where Belle gives Beast a book. :3 I still love the song Stories so much and the animation!!!

· "These were the borders of my life / In this crumbling, dusty attic / Where an artist loved his wife / Easy to remember, harder to move on / Knowing the Paris of my childhood is gone."

· "Let's go home." ...and then he just melts. :3

· I never thought the addition of the back-story for Belle's mother and how Beast acts (his mother as well) would affect the tale so beautifully. It never crossed my mind how much of a deeper connection that would establish for the two of them until that scene with the book came on screen. Just beautiful writing, I can't say anymore without crying. (Trust me, I've cried enough over the perfection of this movie already.)

· One of my favorite scenes: The Beast and Belle eating dinner and reading their books together at the table like they're already married. Just...happy sigh. :3

· Chip is adorable, I liked that they gave him an older voice.

· Josh Gad was brilliant as always.

· Luke Evan's Gaston was well executed and just not in looks. (Points to Lucy Bevan for casting!) I liked that they gave him alittle more depth as well, with being in the war and a little more cruel than in the original, again bringing more realism and makes him more grounded as a true villain..or just a monster as Belle said.

· They even made Lefou a more prominent character than just the villain's sidekick I love it so much! He had such a redemption arc and realized HE can do better than Gaston. ;-)

· "There's a beast running wild, there's no question / But I fear the wrong monster's released." I like this too much. Chills.

· "We don't like what we don't understand / In fact, it scares us / And this monster is mysterious at least." Wow.

· Belle and Adam's relationship was well fleshed out more. They have such adorable banter! It was brilliance. I loved how they related to each other through books. It creates a better basis for their relationship. Even though I also love how belle taught beast how to read, they're just two different types of relationships. Good relationships, but different.

· He just gives Belle an entire library because he doesn't like her taste in books! Like oh my gosh, Adam... you beast.....wait.

· As much as I loved the library scene in the LA version, I can't get over how sweet the original is, just look at how happy the beast is because she's happy! :3

· The emphasis on the Beast's very expense education and him being widely read does well in this version making him relate easier to belle and makes more sense in general I guess but I would argue for the sake of the original, which does have the 10 years stamp on it, that the Beast even said himself in Human Again that it's been so long since he's last read anything. If the last time he did read was when he was still human at 10-11 with how much of a despair and depression he fell into after being cursed, I would say it's understandable and it helps him and Belle form a connection with her patiently teaching him. How to read and fall in love.

· "I never thanked you for saving my life." I love this line cause of how much it can have a double meaning.

· "I saw her in the ballroom and said we should have a dance tonight, I'd never imagined she'd say yes!" HAHA! AWWW!!! :333333

· I see nothing wrong with the dress, it was beautiful. It flowed very nicely and I loved in the scene, the animation of the golden flecks being added to the hem. That ear cuff was dope too.

· As much as I love you Emma Thompson, I'm sorry but you don't hold a candle to Angela Lansbury. But you still did very nicely. :)

· "Can anyone be happy if they aren't free?"

· One thing that bothered me a bit was how it seemed they made Belle feel so bad whenever she tried to leave the castle, even towards the end with her father. Like, really? That never felt like an issue in the original.

· All of Evermore. Thank you Alan Menken, and Dan Stevens.

· "Waiting here, fore evermore..." and the long zoom out with the last shot being Belle riding away still in her dress and then sudden black and the ORCESTRA! :D So perfect.

· “I set her free. I’m sorry I couldn’t do the same for all of you.”

· WHY DID MISS POTTS TAKE AWAY THE BEAST LINE AT THE END!!! IT WAS SO POWERFUL, EVEN IF WE ALREADY KNOW HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY "BECAUSE I LOVE HER", UGHHHH!!

· I prefer Gaston using a knife instead of a gun when fighting Beast, the stab was more imitate. Also, three gun shots, geez!

· The ending was a little off to me. I kept waiting for Belle is say I love you and then the last petal fell and everyone froze but the enchantress just waltz in and is like "I'll just fix everything now." Like, what?! I thought they were going to pull an evil frozon-hans card and just leave it there but whatever. I don't know...maybe I'm ruminate over it a little more but that's just how I feel about it at the moment.

· [From: destielydia.tumblr.com: You know what I LOVE about the transformation scene? Adam waits for Belle to come to him. He just stays where he stands, he stays still because he doesn’t want to scare her. She is the one who takes the first step because he still gives her a chance to go away. That’s how much he respects and loves her. But you can see everything in his eyes - how much he wants to finally touch her gently with his real human hands, finally, and not to be worried about hurting Belle. His eyes have some true excitement in them and love and I’m crying I love Adam and Belle."]

I love this as well, it’s a wonderful parallel to the dance scene when Belle offers her hands to him and lets him come to her.

· I think Emma did wonderfully originating her role as Belle. Paige O'Hara and Susan Egan gave their blessings so if you didn't like her, go enjoy the original animated feature.

· Ewan, you stole my heart at Moulin Rouge! So you were golden..or is he brass?

· "How would you feel about growing a beard?"

· Oh my, that growl...I can just imagine how many dirty fanfiction is written based on that moment.

· The addition of the new songs were wonderful. :)

· The costume and set design was just magnificent and so beautifully detailed, I have no other words.

· Also I'd like to point out how wonderful it is there are two interracial couples in this movie with at least three more movies featuring them coming out this year. Yay.

· Why is no one talking about Belle's wedding dress at the end though?! It's so beautifully and simply white with all the freakin' roses on it!!?!!?!!?!

· As for a note on the gay moment at the end, I am so happy that all I saw previewed for this before seeing it in theaters was the teaser trailer cause they blew it way out of proportion. I mean, it's pretty obvious that LeFou is gay right from the beginning, the Stanley moment was cute and funny and then the literal 3-second moment that brought them together was cute. That's all I have to say.

· Personally, some of the minor continuity errors that people analyzed from the original, I didn't give a whole lot of attention to because it's simply a fairy tale. (how belle lifted the beast onto her house after being attacked, why the villagers didn't know they have a cursed prince, the Eiffel Tower, etc.) That's almost like saying, "oh, why is Tarzan riding a high wheeler in the jungle? That's so impractical!" It's just a form of imagery for the scene but I digress and in spite of that, the corrections really improved the characters and helped form a complete story.

· I love how they brought Celine Dion back to sing an end credits song, it's so nice. :)

· Even the end credits are stunning!

I just really hope they reconsider not keeping the songs in the Mulan remake. Even if, as Chris Weitz said [http://www.hypable.com/disney-cutting-songs/], it is easier to do animated musical Disney movies, the new Beauty and the Beast proved that you can do it and do it well. Which is more than I can say for the Cinderella remake they did in 2015. The casting was spot on but if you take away what made the original the classic that it is, it won't be received kindly.

Tokyo Disneyland Development New Details Unveiled for Tokyo Disneyland Expansion Opening on April 15, 2020

URAYASU, CHIBA — Oriental Land Co., Ltd. has announced new details for the expansions coming to Fantasyland, Toontown and Tomorrowland on April 15, 2020, as part of the largest expansion since Tokyo Disneyland® Park opened. The details include descriptions of attractions, theater entertainment, merchandise and menus that will allow guests to feel like they have entered a Disney film as they meet their favorite Disney Characters and listen to well-known music. This new experience will immerse guests in the world of Disney like never before.

The additions to Fantasyland will bring Disney’s Beauty and the Beast film to life through the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast attraction, shops and food facilities. Also in the new area will be Fantasyland Forest Theatre, an indoor theater featuring performances of the new show “Mickey’s Magical Music World.”

Tomorrowland will see the opening of The Happy Ride with Baymax attraction and a shop specializing in popcorn. Toontown will see the addition of a new Disney Character greeting facility called Minnie’s Style Studio.

Fantasyland

New area themed to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast This area stretches from the village where Belle lives to the forest where the Beast’s castle is secluded. At the entrance to the village is the home of Belle’s father: Maurice’s Cottage (Disney FASTPASS® machines are located here). Inspired by the film, a fountain dedicated to Gaston can be found at the center of the village. La Taverne de Gaston restaurant and Village Shoppes, including one themed to the bookstore that Belle frequents, line the street. With music from the film playing, guests will feel as though they have stepped right into Belle’s world. Leaving the village behind, guests enter the forest where Beauty and the Beast Castle looms. Inside the castle, guests can experience Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast attraction.

Exterior of Beauty and the Beast Castle

ATTRACTION Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast Rising to a height of nearly 30 meters, Beauty and the Beast Castle houses the major attraction, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast. Guests board magical cups that “dance” in rhythm to the animated film’s well-known music as they take guests through scenes depicting the story of Belle and the Beast.

Guests step into the Beast’s castle located deep in the forest to experience the “enchanted tale.” In the first scene, the beautiful Belle encounters a prince who has been transformed into a beast by a powerful enchantress.

Aboard enchanted cups that move and turn as if they are alive, guests travel through various scenes to experience the world of the film. There’s the banquet where they “dance” together with the dishes and cutlery to Lumiere’s singing; the snow-covered garden where they glide over the ice as Belle and the Beast find themselves growing closer. The castle is filled with magical moments and surprises, so guests will discover something new each time they visit.

Will Belle and the Beast find love and thus break the spell before the last petal of the enchanted rose falls? Guests can look forward to the magical romance of Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast.

La Belle Librairie is designed like the bookshop that Belle visits in the film.

The theater is decorated with beautiful tapestries and murals which celebrate the forest and the woodland creatures from Disney animation. Presented here will be the musical “Mickey’s Magical Music World.”

One day, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy find a giant music box deep in the forest. They turn the music box’s large golden key and doors suddenly open. Accompanied by the songs associated with them, various Disney Characters appear including Snow White, Pinocchio, Woody and his friends from the Disney and Pixar Toy Story film series, and more.

Mickey and his Pals are delighted with the surprising development and are excited to hear the next song. But when the last door opens, no one appears and no music is heard. Worried, Mickey and his Pals set off on a journey to find the missing song.

Along the way they encounter characters from many Disney films. Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast welcomes them with a colorful banquet. King Louie and others from The Jungle Book together with Timon from The Lion King put on a powerful jungle-style performance. In a lovely world of starry skies and mirrors, the Disney Princesses dance a graceful waltz. And then Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Captain Hook from Peter Pan appear in a thrilling scene.

Terrain : La première armée de volontaires noirs tous est confrontée à la haine, le racisme et la peur de l’Union et les confédérés. Shola Lynch, maintenant mieux connue gratuite Angela et tous les prisonniers politiques, réalisé ce double candidat Independent Spirit Award, qui a été critiqué pour avoir été un documentaire sur comment Chisholm a été la première femme noire à présenter une offre pour la maison blanche en dépit de Chisholm, déclarant à plusieurs reprises ce n'est pas comment elle veut être vu ou connu. Voir les plus drôles vidéos YouTube, photos et images en ligne ou chat avec les lecteurs de Smosh dans nos forums en ligne. Le film est plein de la seule partie de l’histoire, beaucoup semblent ignorer - Hitler ultime défaite. Le sujet de Master and Commander : The Far Side d’exactitude historique au monde est une question de certains débats simplement en raison de la nature de l’intrigue du film.

Je pense qu’autant en emporte le vent restera dans l’histoire comme le plus grand film historique de tous les temps. Être enfermé dans la chaleur étouffante avec un tas de jeunes hommes, formés pour la guerre, mais plutôt à ne rien faire au lieu de se demander ce que leurs filles de retour à la maison sont la pratique et la lutte contre l’isolement et l’ennui au lieu de l’ennemi, le film dresse un portrait unique des soldats en guerre avec eux-mêmes.

Predicting where college basketball's top 5 uncommitted recruits will play

The spring recruiting period is heating up. This is our best guess for where the top unsigned recruits will end up.

Waiting until the spring to make your college choice is a privilege earned by elite basketball recruits. By virtue of being the most coveted players in their class, five-star prospects can wait out college basketball’s hectic offseason and survey the surviving landscape before tying themselves to a letter of intent.

The major moving parts in this sport are the head coaching carrousel and NBA draft. We’ve already seen multiple players flip their commitment after a coaching change, mostly notably with No. 1 overall recruit Michael Porter Jr.’s move from Washington to Missouri.

Early deflections to the draft might have an even bigger impact, especially at the blue bloods. A big man considering Kentucky wants to see if Bam Adebayo is returning to school first. A guard considering Arizona wants to know if Rawle Alkins and Kobi Simmons will still be around.

There are a handful elite recruits still on the board for next season. This is our best guess at where they will end up.

Trevon Duval, PG, IMG Academy

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Who is he? A 6’3, 190-pound point guard from New Castle, DE

Where's he ranked? No. 4 by ESPN, No. 5 by 247 Sports' national composite

Who is he considering? Duke, Arizona, Baylor, Seton Hall, Kansas

Duval is a strong, explosive lead guard who has drawn comparisons to prime Derrick Rose. How many point guards at any level can finish like this?

youtube

Duval’s physicality is what makes him special. He’s a train going to the basket and his combination of length (6’9 wingspan) and quickness should help him smother opposing college guards.

This is a player who has treated his high school career like a professional career since it began. Duval started at St. Benedict’s in New Jersey, transferred to API in Dallas and then moved to IMG Academy in Florida as a senior. He’s been playing the best competition in the country from an early age and projects as a high-level starter from day one at whatever school he chooses.

Duval doesn’t like to open up about the recruiting process, which makes a prediction very much a shot in the dark. Duke badly wants him after watching last year’s team struggle without a natural point guard on the roster. Arizona could use him to replace Kobi Simmons or as a bigger, faster alternative to Parker Jackson-Cartright. Kansas had great success with a two point guard look last season. Bill Self would love to make Duval his replacement for Wooden Award winner Frank Mason III.

A player as talented as Duval could also draw some interest from a professional team overseas, as Brandon Jennings, Emmanuel Mudiay and Terrance Ferguson once did. It’s all on the table for Duval at this point. Whatever team he chooses will be thrilled to have him.

Prediction: Arizona.

Sean Miller already reeled in one superstar recruit in center DeAndre Ayton. If he gets Duval too, the Wildcats might be the No. 1 team in the country in the preseason polls.

Kobi Simmons has already said he’ll sign with an agent and stay in the draft. Allonzo Trier and Rawle Alkins are still undecided on returning to school. Either way, Arizona will have minutes and shots to fill in the backcourt next year. Duval can take them over the top.

Duke is also a major possibility here. The Blue Devils already have Frank Jackson entrenched in the backcourt. Grayson Allen’s decision to turn pro or return to school could play a big factor in what Duval decides to do.

Mohamed Bamba, C, Westtown School

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Who is he? A 7-foot, 215-pound big man from Harlem, New York

Where's he ranked? No. 5 by ESPN, No. 3 by 247 Sports' national composite

Who is he considering? Duke, Kentucky, Texas, Michigan

Mo Bamba looks like nothing you’ve ever seen on a basketball court before. With a 7’9 wingspan and 9’6 standing reach, Bamba’s length is virtually unprecedented in the history of the sport.

Bamba has the potential to be a terror as a rim protector on defense and rim roller on offense. Imagine Nerlens Noel with Stretch Armstrong limbs. Think of a quicker Rudy Gobert who isn’t afraid to take a three-pointer. The mind races when you think of what Bamba could one day become if he adds strength and continues to develop his skill level.

It might be tempting to think of Bamba as some sort of mystery man because of his physical dimensions, but scouts have been tracking his development closely for years. He’s a regular at USA Basketball and went against the best centers in his class frequently on Nike’s EYBL tour. He’s also a warm and engaging personality who would be a great ambassador for whichever school he chooses.

So: which of Bamba’s four finalists is the best fit? It’s still hard to say.

Duke only likes to play one big man at a time and already has a top-recruit in the front court in Wendell Carter Jr. as well as sophomore Marques Bolden. Kentucky has a crowded front court too, with Nick Richards, Sasha Killeya-Jones, and Isaac Humphries already competing for minutes at center. Texas had a five-star freshman center last year in Jarrett Allen and still didn’t make the NCAA tournament. Michigan has Mo Wagner and D.J. Wilson fresh off a Sweet 16 run if they decide to return to school after testing the NBA draft waters.

This one is still too close to call because there are some variables involved.

Prediction: Kentucky

Yes, John Calipari will have a logjam upfront, but Bamba would likely be a starter regardless. Cal might even let him take threes given the shooting issues his roster projects to have.

Michigan is the dark horse here. If Wagner comes back to school and Wilson stays in the draft, John Beilein’s spread attack would be ideal for Bamba’s gifts.

Kevin Knox, F, Tampa Catholic

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Who is he? A 6’9, 205-pound combo forward from Tampa, Florida

Where's he ranked? No. 7 by ESPN, No. 8 by 247 Sports' national composite

Who is he considering? Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida State, Missouri

The hardest type of player to find in college basketball is a big, athletic wing who can score from all three levels. Knox is becoming exactly that.

A former quarterback who got too tall to play football, Knox is still growing into life as a basketball star. His skill level seems to be getting better every month, whether he’s flashing a jump shot and getting more comfortable as a ball handler. He’s already a top-flight athlete and that will help him make an impact at the college level from day one.

Knox’s physical tools are everything teams want out of a combo forward. He’ll be too fast for opposing fours and too big for wings. He’d fill a major role for all of his remaining finalists.

Duke needs him to replace Jayson Tatum, North Carolina needs him to replace Justin Jackson, Florida State needs him to replace Jonathan Isaac. Kentucky has been looking for a big wing like this for years. At Mizzou, he’d team with Porter for the ultimate matchup nightmare on the wing.

Prediction: Duke

Coach K decided years ago he isn’t putting two traditional big men on the court at the same time. If Duke’s small ball attack is going to work for another year, it needs Knox to play the role of the athletic four like Jabari Parker, Brandon Ingram and Tatum before him.

North Carolina has to be intriguing, too. Assuming Joel Berry II and Tony Bradley return to school, Knox could be an instant starter on a team with dreams of winning back-to-back national championships.

Brandon McCoy, C, Cathedral Catholic High School

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

Who is he? A 7-foot, 245-pound center from San Diego

Where's he ranked? No. 6 by ESPN, No. 11 by 247 Sports' national composite

Who is he considering? Arizona, Oregon, San Diego State, Michigan State, UNLV

McCoy is the type of center everyone loves to play with. He challenges shots, rebounds, scores inside but doesn’t demand touches. He might not be as explosive or skilled as the other top big men in this class, but he’ll be a major asset for whichever school he chooses simply by being huge and mobile.

McCoy played on Cal Supreme alongside DeAndre Ayton, which allowed Ayton to focus on his jump shot and perimeter defense. Ayton is headed to Arizona and that’s one of McCoy’s finalists, too. But with Dusan Ristic also returning for his senior year, will there be enough minutes available for another five-star freshman in the front court?

Michigan State has a similar problem. Nick Ward returns as a sophomore post scorer after an excellent freshman season, and he’ll be joined in the front court by 6’11 five-star freshman Jaren Jackson Jr. Jackson’s shooting ability makes him and Ward a nice fit together. Is there room for Jackson, too?

San Diego State is the hometown team, but it’s hard to imagine McCoy lands there after Steve Fisher’s retirement. UNLV would love to have him, but that would require a leap of faith on McCoy’s part. There’s one logical school left.

Prediction: Oregon

The Ducks really are a good fit for McCoy. He can either be the second big man in the rotation if Jordan Bell returns to school or takeover center duties if he decides to turn pro.

Oregon likes to play small and fast with one traditional big man on the floor at a time, and McCoy’s willingness to do some dirty work would make him an ideal candidate for that spot. He’s also the first player on this list who isn’t projected as a one-and-done. Dana Altman would love to have him at center for a few seasons.

Brian Bowen, SG, La Lumiere

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Who is he? A 6’7, 190-pound wing from Michigan

Where's he ranked? No. 12 by ESPN, No. 15 by 247 Sports' national composite

Who is he considering? Arizona, Michigan State

Indiana-based La Lumiere has become a powerhouse on the national prep school circuit. After losing in the Dick’s Sporting Goods National Championship game a year ago, La Lumiere made it back and won the title this season. Brian Bowen was their top scorer on the wing.

Playing alongside Michigan State commit Jaren Jackson Jr., Michigan commit Jordan Poole and class of 2019 point guard Tyger Campbell, Bowen showed he knows how to fit into a team dynamic and still be productive. He’s a shooter and scorer on the perimeter at 6’7 and both Arizona and Michigan State would love to have him.

Prediction: Arizona

Whether Trier and/or Alkins return or not, Arizona is going need some scoring punch on the wing. As long as Bowen can embrace the Wildcats’ pack-line defense, he’ll endear himself to Sean Miller quickly.

Bonus Predictions

M.J. Walker, SG, Jonesboro (GA)

Prediction: Florida State

Jeremiah Tilmon, C, East Saint Louis (IL)

Prediction: Missouri

M&D’s youth production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ charms

Corresponding with Disney’s release of its new live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast,” M&D Playhouse’s Theatre Arts Studio is presenting “Beauty and the Beast Jr.,” a charming abridged version of the Broadway musical based on Disney’s 1991 animated film.

“Beauty and the Beast Jr.,” which opens tonight at 1857 White Mountain Highway in North Conway, N.H., with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and 3 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays for the next three weeks, is the Theatre Arts Studio’s first youth production.

Mary Bastoni, who has been directing youth theater for years, is the production’s director, music director and costume designer. Her experience working with youngsters is evident as her cast is performing at a high level.

Some of the roles, including Belle and Beast, are double cast with actors alternating performances. Obviously, I can only comment on the cast I saw, which featured Amy Sauerwein as Belle and Ethan Reinbach as Beast. Robin Croce is the other Belle and Luke Reinbach, who played Cogsworth in the performance I saw, is the second Beast.

Belle is a well-read French girl who doesn’t fit in her small provincial town. Ladies’ man Gaston (Sam Cantone) wants Belle’s hand in marriage as her beauty is the only that matches his own. Belle has no interest because she sees him for the thick-skulled boor he is. Cantone has an appropriately booming singing voice and arrogant swagger.

Belle’s father Maurice (Craig Holden, the only adult in the cast) seeks refuge in the Beast’s castle after getting lost in the woods. The Beast, enraged by the trespass, takes him hostage. When Belle finds her sickly father, she agrees to take his place so that he can see a doctor.

The Beast is a cursed prince who will remain in his beastly condition unless he can learn to love and be loved in return before the last petal of an enchanted rose falls. The curse extends to his servants who have taken the form of the inanimate objects that most closely represent their duties.

As was true of the animated version, the supporting characters provide the stage version with much of its humor and color. Sporting an amusingly exaggerated French accent, Quinn Hagerty as the candelabrum Lumiere is a comedic highlight of the show. He nails his big number “Be Our Guest.”

Luke Reinbach as the clock Cogsworth effectively portrays the character’s uptight stuffiness and constant worrying. Alanna Nataluk as Babette, Svea Olson as Madame de la Bouche and Nola Bradeen as Chip also all have their moments.

Jordan Meier is fittingly kind and motherly as the teapot Mrs. Potts. Meier does a fine job singing “Beauty and the Beast,” arguably the musical’s most famous song. Sauerwein and Ethan Reinbach also successfully recreate the dance scene set to that song.

Cosette Brochu quite literally throws herself into the role of Gaston’s clumsy lackey LeFou. She is a scene stealer who willing takes several pratfalls. Brochu is both fun and funny in the song “Gaston.”

Sauerwein is charming and sweet as Belle and has a strong voice which is well represented on such songs as “Belle” and “Something There.” She develops a nice chemistry with Ethan Reinbach, who does a good job of being monstrous but also sympathetic.

This abridged version rushes through much of the arc of how Beast softens and forms a genuine connection with Belle, but it is to Sauerwein and Ethan Reinbach’s credit that we believe there is something there between them.

The technical aspects of the production give the musical the polish of a more adult production, with an impressive castle set designed by Deb Jasien; colorful costumes by Bastoni; a moody lighting design by Lori-Jean Rowe; and playful choreography by Courtney Viall.

If you haven’t gotten your fill of “Beauty and the Beast” after seeing Disney’s new film version, this appealing, well-mounted production should do the trick.
