The Musician's Bear

I am a Music Education major at Ithaca College. My hope is for people to expand their appreciation of styles, genres and periods of music. So I will be posting songs of various genres each day. I hope you all enjoy.

so every year after the juniors finish reading The Great Gatsby my high school english teacher throws a Gatsby party at his huge house and everyone shows up in period clothing and Charlestons to 20s music and my english teacher just wears a suit and stands off to the side staring wistfully out the window the entire night

you guys think I’m joking??

Fun fact: Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins decided secretly that they’d play Hook and Smee as a gay couple. When Spielberg, the director, found out, he was furious.

I just think it’s hilarious.

One of my favorite films of all time.

in-lovino-veritas: 2econdp2iioniic: shavemeinthemorning: operamatic: ukeaco: I would just like to point out that the beginning and end of Spirited Away creep me out in the most delicious way possible. I’ve always been a fan of fairy tales, and not just the Grimm and Anderson stuff, almost all my life. Like the honestly faerie court stories. Themes you see in those reflect strongly in this movie, and comparing them side by side just makes it that much more stark. Often times you hear that if you get sucked into the fairy realm, you shouldn’t eat their food. It gives them power over you. More often than not, heroes finally escape the fairy realm after what they perceive to be a very short time (a night or a week)… …only to find that seasons or years have passed. ‘Hey, it’s all dusty in here. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?’ CRAPPING SHIT I WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS This always freaked me out a little as a kid. Like the OP, I couldn’t help but wonder how long REALLY passed. I always pretended it was something like a week but… Judging by that moss, I can’t say for sure. A week? Try much MUCH /MUCH/ longer. The plants are a good indicator but a better one is the statue. We’re seeing it from the same angle in each shot. Look in the first one before she enters, it’s not NEW but you can tell what it is. Now look at the second frame. It’s so eroded it’s just a dull, flat stone. That thing is solid stone, that must have taken up to, if not more than, a DECADE to wear down that much. Not to mention that there are new trees next to the car. Just remember how long it actually takes for trees to grow real quick. Evidence is suggesting they were in there for maybe around 20-30 years. And when they arrived it was cobblestones they parked on, but when they leave it’s all grown over with grass holy SHIT

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”

This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.
