This commercial seriously changed my life. I never would’ve discovered Kingdom Hearts without it.
And yay! Someone finally found and uploaded/the Chain of Memories one, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71teqgu095Q I miss Disney’s Secret Lab commercials, tbh.
Also… it’s funny. At the time this was made, the idea of this kid “breaking into the lab” and stealing secret information about KH and the creators being mad was of course all a skit. But Kingdom Hearts ended up getting so popular, that that’s pretty much the reality now. No matter what Nomura does, he can’t protect us from leakers or people who get their hands on the game early, like the freaking real life mafia with KHIII. It’s mad.
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris, meaning "Our Lady of Paris" originally titled "Notre-Dame de Paris. 1482") by Victor Hugo.
Echoes of Gothic Romance mixed with scathing social/religious criticism.
A profoundly moving book.
Time Bandits by Terry Gilliam.
This just might be one of the very best "children's story" films ever produced. Outstanding imagination and poignant humanism.
It's a Roald Dahl–esque landmark to all fantasy films.
The Eternals (Volume 1) #10.
"Mother!"
Phantom of the Paradise by Brian De Palma.
A perfect reimagining of Leroux's 1910 novel.
This is a deranged, romantic, and quirky comedy horror with a perfect soundtrack.
"My dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C.S. Lewis." ― C.S. Lewis (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)
In other news: King Tut's knife was likely forged from alien metals, scientist say.
An anime/manga I highly recommend...
Battle Angel Alita (titled Gunnm in Japanese).
The Shrinking Man (retitled "The Incredible Shrinking Man" in some later editions) by Richard Matheson.
An existential, soul affirming sci-fi adventure of the highest caliber.
A classic.
Fun Fact:
Appearances can be deceiving. So whatever you do, do NOT mess with a kelpie. You're not gonna want to pay the price to escape.
A long time ago in Scotland, there was a string of disappearances. Nine children went missing, and no one knew who to blame. One day, a little boy was playing by the water where the children were said to have vanished when he saw a black horse emerge from the water dripping with every step it took towards him and sporting a mane made of kelp. The boy was fascinated and wanted to take the horse out for a ride, but when he stroked its nose, he realized his mistake. His finger was stuck to the beast, meaning this horse was actually a kelpie, a creature known for drowning and devouring anyone who dares to ride it. The kelpie started to pull the boy back towards the lake, but he refused to become its snack. Left with no other choice, he took out his pocketknife and chopped off his finger, allowing him to escape a watery grave.
