I maintain that the greatest Disney movies are the live action films from the ’40s-’60s (and very early ’70s just because I want to include Bedknobs and Broomsticks.) Now that I’m (mostly) not a kid anymore, I realize how hopelessly in love with James Mason I was when I was small (and still am, for that matter)—and also that this movie is probably largely responsible for my adoration of broody, angsty, Byronic Hero-type men.
But this is just a frivolous song of glory that has no real relation to the plot. AND I LOVE IT ANYWAY. I also realize how hilarious it is that I knew all the words to this song when I was a kid and had no idea what I was singing about.
Oh my god. It’s the scene.
Watch him shake it.
DANCE WITH ME EVERYONE
I want to go sailing now so I can sing this all the time.
Give me some older movies to watch!
I am currently watching “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” (1954 version) and I am loving it. I want to watch more old movies. Perhaps in a similar vein.
Films with Kirk Douglas automatically win.
Suggestions?
tattoos, coffee, and a little bit of Kirk Douglas
I have three planned.
- Western dragon tattoo, to be commissioned, for my back/shoulder blade.
- Blood diamond tattoo (see diamond poster below somewhere), perhaps on the underside of my right wrist.
- Monoceros constellation tattoo, not sure where.
Umm…umm…I could always do some sort of poem tattoo. I’d probably pick a line from “Annabel Lee” in honor of my sister, who was named after that poem.
Or maybe I’d get “galaslaeg” tattooed on me. In elvish script.
Or maybe I’d GET ALL THE TATTOOS!
I still think getting an elephant tattoo on my butt is a superb idea. It gets wrinkly as you get older! Who says tattoos look bad when you get old? Mine gets more life-like!
So many cool looking tattoos, I want them all.
*salivates*
I didn’t care much for the instant Starbucks coffee until I added brown sugar. Ooooo I can feel the energy already. If I keep drinking it in this manner, I will either turn my teeth black, or lose my teeth entirely, or perhaps both in that order.
Also, I am supremely enjoying watching Kirk Douglas shake it whilst singing sailor songs while I watch “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea”. I am in love with this movie now.
He captured my heart when I first saw “Spartacus”. Damn that fine man.
