Since I’m doomed to see this film 8,000,000,000 times, I’m relieved that it actually looks vastly more interesting than the first one. Elsa might actually gain agency in her own story this time around.
I hope it is better than the first one. I love the music and the animation, but hate the plot.
What lack of agency? She has full agency from start to end. Elsa chose to banish herself in the first film and chooses to stay banished because she doesn’t want to harm others esp her sister Ana. Her character’s journey is actually very typical for male superhero characters who struggle with their immense supernatural powers, often in isolation, before “finding themselves” and learning to conquer it.
She could have agency, but all of her actions are REACTIVE. Her powers are hidden by her parents. Her choice to leave is driven by others’ fear. She gets dragged back to Arendelle by Hans and the soldiers. She’s never shown actually learning to control her powers beyond minor exploration of them – at the end, we just get a half-assed explanation of her understanding it comes from the heart. All of her immense power is ultimately meaningless when faced with the primary antagonist – it’s Anna who saves her, and it’s Anna’s sacrifice that saves herself.
Her one true moment of agency is choosing to stay hidden, striking out alone, but even that is thwarted by the actions of others. In this film, I want to see her power as something she learns to control and utilize whether than controlled when it serves the narrative.
Omg I love it, the trailer looks amazing
It’s Eric Swalwell. As a congressional representative from California, he’s been outspoken against Trump since the beginning and done great work in committee hearings. I don’t understand why a gaffe in one speech is such a big deal? It seems like the ultra-conservative Washington Examiner is where this story originated. They continue to focus on smearing Democrats.
Came here to say This^^^^
Katie Holmes always looks dowdy, matronly, and just plain messy. She looked pretty good when she hung out with Victoria Beckham, butvsince then, meh. Hard to believe she had a clothing line.
Also Katie knows exactly what Cruise does during his ‘non visible’ time but chooses not to tell. I suspect he’s enjoying himself at the cult compound in Florida.
I firmly believe that we don’t need another Frozen, but of course I’ll cry throughout the entire thing as I see it in theaters three times lol.
Here’s wishing for a Frozen that inspires young girls everywhere, where Elsa battles the orange monster of hate and fear, opens up the borders of Arendelle for all and Anna asserts young girls rights to their bodies and their lifestyle choices regardless of where they live.
🙌🏻
Obviously, Cardi B needs to lay off the tweaking, stat.
How far post partum was she when she had the surgery? I feel like it was faster than I would think a decent surgeon would do, but I don’t remember. Yikes to her feet, anyway. That much edema does not look healthy.
Her daughter will be a year next month. She only had surgery a month or two ago. A decent amount of time between the two. But surgery is always risky, complications can happen to anyone.
Did anyone watch the soccer match between the USA and Thailand just finished? Goals for the goals God, a new world record and obvious winners this World Cup. Brava, ladies, you out-brutalized Ramsey Bolton, that was terrifying.
I used to be a constituent of Eric Swalwell’s. I wrote him a letter about my concerns about gun violence, and he (or at least his intern probably haha) wrote me back. That’s always stuck with me, that someone (either himself or someone from his office) actually took the time to reply to me and sign it and post it. I don’t think he’s really got the experience to be running for president, but he’s also generally an ok guy.
I wrote a letter to George Bush when I was 12, after my cousin died in 9/11. his office sent a very thoughtful letter back “signed” by both George and Laura. while I am very much a Democrat, that really meant a lot to me and it was extremely cool to have a letter from the president on white house stationary, seal and all.
Looks fantastic. Toy Story and some of the other “kids’ films” are too sentimental and corny for me but Frozen gets it just right. Loved the first one.
The Nightingale is set during the attempted genocide of Tasmanian Aboriginal people. The brutality is a theme because that’s what happens when criminals are given uniforms and guns. This lone focus on the rape scenes (which apparently focus on the women’s face rather than body shots) is not really explaining the movie (nor am I, I haven’t seen it). It would seem, though, this is not a typical Hollywood gratuitous rape scene for the sole purpose of making a female character more interesting (hello GOT).
