40cakesMan, only the first week and I've already decided 2 DVDs gotta go.
Aladdin
I find this curious thing keeps happening with Disney films. The ones I adored as a kid I now can't get into, and the ones that bored me to death as a kid I unconditionally love. Aladdin falls into the former category. It's worth keeping around and Robin Williams is always entertaining, but I just can't get into it. Oh well, it has some entertaining special features.

American Wedding
Oh my God, was this awful. Okay, one movie of a series of awful and embarrassing things happening to high school guys, whatever. A sequel full of a series of awful and embarrassing things happening to college guys, fine. A third movie, in which we are supposed to believe they're all adults, and yet are completely unsuspecting to a series of awful and embarrassing and CONTRIVED things happening to them? Let it be over. Please. Please, no one tell me if they're making a fourth. Goes in the "For Sale/Tradein" pile.

Aquarian Age
This show doesn't know what it wants to be about, that's the problem. There are these guys in a band, and they want to make it big. There's a big idol singer who antagonizes them. "Oh, okay, so it's like Gravitation, without teh ghey." Well, there are also all these girls, and they think the lead singer in the band is really cute. And they fight over him. "Okay, so like a harem show with music." Well, really fight. Like, they transform into these inter-dimensional women or some shit and battle it out. "Fine. Tenchi Muyo with music." Right, but with less personality since there are only 13 episodes and so many characters, we can't really get a feel for any of them. Oh, and there's a card game they try to sell with it.
"So we have a show with a band of guys and a rival pop star that features lots of girls, some in revealing attire, who wage interdimensional war with each other, some with agendas, some being used by pawns as others, and though it's fairly character-driven, we don't care about any of the characters."
Pretty much. I'll try this one on ebay first, since it's autographed by four voice actors and the dub director.

Angel, Season 1
Man, this show was fun. I think I like the episodic format better than the overarching storylines with a Big Bad. I also liked Kate and Angel together, and I find I still do. They're fun. Can I have a One Fun Pairing? OFP? Faith is neat, Wesley's wacky, Doyle smushed my heart into pieces, Cordelia's well, Cordelia. And Lindsey. And Lilah! Oh, Wolfram & Hart, how I've missed you. And all the crossovers with Buffy. Spike! Spike is still bad and not love's bitch! FUN! Looking forward to seasons 2 & 3 from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
