Okay, wow! I just finished Tiger and Bunny 2′s first cour and I loved it to absolutely bits! If the second cour ends up being as good as this one, then the second season will be my favorite of the two easily. Season 1 holds a lot of nostaglia, but this new season just feels even better and tighter, since a lot of the groundwork was already done.

I think one of the most impressive things about Tiger and Bunny 2 so far has been how they were able to capture both the feeling that time had passed (both in-series and outside of the series), but yet also the feeling that not that much time has passed at all. The series still *feels* the same. I’m so happy!

I have so many thoughts and things I want to say about the series right now. So I’m going to do a bunch of little mini write ups with some screenshots and stuff, so I can focus on each point and not write massive, rambling essay.

Holy ground & you’re not sorry

thanks so much!! :)

holy ground: a jam and masterpiece, besides all too well probably the best song on red (and that says something), every single lyric fits perfectly, i love how it takes the very specific topic of  ‘finally being able to see a past relationship from a distance and appreciating it for the good it brought to your life after you are over the pain of heartbreak’ that is really complex emotionally, it’s this mix of nostaglia and happiness/freedom, and the song captures that PERFECTLY, wow the lyrics: ‘a first glance feeling on new york time’, ‘i guess we fell apart in the usual way, and the story got dust on every page’ , HOWEVER THE BEST PART OF THIS SONG THAT PERFECTLY CAPTURES THAT MOOD I JUST DESCRIBED AND GIVES ME FEELINGS EVERY TIME??? THE MCFREAKING BRIDGE

THE BRIDGE

‘tonight i’m gonna dance for all that we’ve been through, but i don’t wanna dance if i’m not dancing with you’. how can she express so much in a single line? i bow to the queen of songwriting

you’re not sorry: the best ballad on fearless imo, ages so well, chorus is my fav part, i feel like it’s really the emotion of disappointment in song form, ‘and now you’re asking me to listen cause it’s worked each time before’ !!!

this was so much fun thank you!!

taylor song talk!!

DCOM Rankings #76: Princess Protection Program

Took a little break from DCOMs for a little vacay.

So this was another favorite of mine when I was younger (I don’t want to say little because I was 13-14 at the time) and I was also afraid this would be another movie that was sent to the depths of nostaglia and actually not very good. Thank god I was wrong.

Before I start I remember reading in one of those teen magazines that there was a lot of tension between Demi and Selena either during or after production of this movie. And idk if they even speak to each other anymore, probably not. Demi’s going through some shit, and has been for quite some time. Both still release music which is cool, and Selena is embracing her Spanish-speaking side.

Anyway, this is about the movie. So overall I pretty much loved it. Reminds me a lot of Princess diaries, just the fancy dresses and the mannerisms and the ceremonies and all that jazz. There’s actually not many flaws to this one that I can think of. I think the biggest one for me is that they do wayyyy to hard on the “Princess theme”

Like, I get that the movie is supposed to teach how princesses are supposed to be good leaders and selfless and caring and all that. But my god that’s all everyone in the school talked about! Princesses princesses princesses! I get it ha ha Rosie is actually a Princess ooooo wow what a coincidence! Like, come on, not even homecoming prince or king?? What about the guys?? No realistic school (at least the staff) wouldn’t care THAT much about some homecoming crown. But whatever. It’s just a movie.

Other than that, I don’t see too many other big flaws. There are some nitpicks though. Like, the villain is too mustache- twisty for me. Like his appearance and mannerisms didn’t feel like he was as much of a threat as he could have been. Then there’s the Spanish tabloids getting into the school, like 1) how and why did those get shipped to America? And 2) how did the school get ahold of them?? I want answers!! Lastly, the other antagonist was honestly not very strong, she just wanted the crown, and that was pretty much it to her character.

This movie reminds me of my youthful days where every girl my age, including me, wanted to be a princess. And the makeup and the hair and the outfits and all that, I wanted it. The movie took me back to a time where I remember getting ready for my own school dances or those father daughter dances, oooo and my cousin’s wedding and I was the flower girl, or even the game pretty pretty Princess. Ugh take me back pleaseee.

Anyway, I love DCOMS that focus on the simple high school life with a little twist. That’s why I always give movies like High school musical, minutemen, hatching Pete, homecoming warrior, etc. such high grades. This is no exception. Even if their real-life counter parts may or may not have gotten along, the characters Rosie and Carter have such an amazing dynamic that’s undeniable.

They also fit quite a lot of content into the 90 minute time frame which is quite impressive! I really felt like everything that was in there was needed at least somewhat. Some parts were a teeeeeny bit boring but i guess it was only because I was waiting for the action to happen at the end. I feel like the end action sequence could have happened a little sooner so the final act didn’t seem so rushed, but that’s just me.

The theme is a great one, especially for girls who want to be a princess, or need to be reminded that being a leader doesn’t just mean you get all the perks for becoming one. For example: I have a supervisory position at my job that pays more and has benefits. However, that also means I’m responsible for supervising graduate assistants and interns. And I have a lot more decision-making abilities that impact the entire project I’m working on. So yes, the perks are a lot better but I also have a lot more work on my plate, and that work is a lot more important.

To quote one of my favorite movies, “with great power, comes great responsibility” and it’s one of the truest things that’s ever been said. But this movie is also about not judging a book by its cover (something DCOMS also do a lot) but it’s more about not to label someone just because of what their title is, how just because they have a certain title or even a certain quantity/characteristic, it doesn’t mean their lives are perfect and that everything goes their way. Carter used to be kind of a loner and prides herself in the fact that she’s not popular because at least non-popular people are nice and not stuck up. She learned that relying on others and also reserving judgement can go a long way with making friends. And that being a princess is so much more than just the pretty dress and tiara.

Honestly I had a great time with this and I would love to re-visit it. I feel like I gave so many DCOM’s an A+ but hey it’s my list and I can do what I want with it, so A+ it is!! It’s going to be a teeny bit lower on that particular list but still an A+.

Okay, I forget the next one, but I know it’s going to be a good one (actually one of the last good ones I have personally watched) see you then!! Hopefully it doesn’t take me too long this time.
