Disney films. Though I disagree with most of their moral teachings, I just love them... Also I generally dislike music like Elton John's but almost start crying in the first music scene of the Lion King (Circle of life... aww...)

Could I possibly second everything you said? Also, I don't like how commercialised they are but they're just so amusing and nostalgic... and it can be seen that they have been done well (or at least most of them have).

It has to be the old ones though (apart from Pirates of course) because the music was sooo much better. I must know just about every song from Jungle Book word for word.

I'm not having any of this modern Disneyfied Winnie The Pooh though. How Very Dare They!

Indeed... Disney Winnie the Pooh is just wrong.

My favorite Disney films were always Robin Hood and The Sword in the Stone... I suppose there's a theme there somewhere...

Yes, it has to be the Soviet one!


Like Marx once said, downhill skiing is the opiate of the people.

It must be the worst form of physical activity ever imagined. I mean, it is ridiculously refreshing, calming, fun, addictive, expensive and nature-wasting, not to forget that it's quite rarely possible.

Thirded (or sixthed, however you take it).

I assign identifying with a book character who is so much like me in every way, only to see a few pages later that another character realises something about this character. No problem with that, only it's a thing that applies to me as well, and I wouldn't maybe have wanted to realise it.

If no one else has done it yet, werewolf definitely needs to be assigned to Orthanc.

Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
I assign to Orthanc....

potty humor, grosser than gross jokes, the dhiarria (cha-cha-cha) song etc.-It still cracks me up!! I'm 35 next month and a mom so I should be mature about these things.

another secret (well, not now) love is the smell of coffee and freshly lit cigarette. This is significant because both are against the doctrines of my religion and while I practice it, I can't help but to smell.

I love "supposed to hate music" like John Denver, Barry Manilow, Kenny Rogers

I assign to Orthanc those great discussion threads that I'd love to participate in, but they're active during those weeks when I don't have the leisure for them. cough*MicrophonesinMiddle-earth*cough*CbC*othergoodstuffonBooks*cough*Entish BowRPG*
