A Pirates of the Caribbean Take Nobody Asked For:
Will may have learnt How To Pirate from Jack, from the first film and that crazy rescue mission (I mean, the last scene at the gallows says everything to me — the hat, the dramatic sword throw, the teamwork with the rope — he’s Jack’s protégé whether he likes it or not) And for a while I thought the same thing about Elizabeth, only then I realised: she didn’t learn piracy from Jack. She learnt it from Barbossa.
She’s always been more ruthless than Will, more efficient, more fierce. Most of the first film, she spent with Barbossa, and she knew he was dangerous. She was exasperated with Jack and underwhelmed by him when they were marooned, and came up with her own plan, completely without his help. She schemes and lies and plays it smart, she’s proud and dignified and she knows it.
If Will was Jack’s unwitting protégé, Barbossa was Elizabeth’s unwitting mentor.
seeing as I am always here to champion PotC as The Rise of Elizabeth Swan, Pirate King, I am so here for this
I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”
him: you split up all the song of ice and fire books
me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect
him: [self-destructs]
You’re a monster
As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?
it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when i’m looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a very…tactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.
my partner was like “how will i find [this book] for instance” and i replied “easy, it’s purple” and he looked at me like i was a witch.
OP your brain is neat and I love you for it you funky little color-coded cupcake. But you’re still a monster.

What people need to remember, and I include myself in that, is that intelligence doesn't equate education level.
People might come across very stupid but sometimes that is education and like it doesn't mean their kids are doomed to be stupid, too. Let the children learn.
something has gone deeply wrong when "focusing pragmatically on issues you can influence and working to make life better for yourself and your community" is considered an unserious distraction while "endlessly exposing yourself to media about distressing situations you can't control" is considered political engagement
Lord, grant me the strength to throw away this box that i'll never use, the courage to throw away this box that i'll never use, and the wisdom to throw away this box that i'll never use
It's a good box though
There needs to be an emergency hotline you can call for somebody to come over to your house and put a dent in a "perfectly good box".
I think it's cute how so many art movements are simply called "new art" to differentiate "not like the old stuff". Contemporary dance. New wave fashion. Pop (literally popular) music. Art Nouveau. Modernism. Postmodernism. Even terms starting with neo- (neo-classicism, neo-expressionism) all are just saying NEW ART. And yet all of these things are now distinctive styles of the past. It's kind of beautiful how humanity never stops outgrowing itself. Art is a state of matter that refuses to sit still, old as soon as it is new, original upon its thousandth performance, new forever so long as there is someone who has not yet seen it, and old the second the artist picks up their instrument again.

Okay…
Do you know what set Enchanted apart from every other parody of Disney? Enchanted wasn’t a parody at all. Enchanted was a pastiche. (A pastiche of Disney done by Disney with Disney. I’ll get to that last part in a minute.)
See, a parody mocks something. A pastiche may poke fun at it but its ultimate goal is to always, always, celebrate it.
And the people behind Enchanted went so hard. Every single scene was filled with nothing less than pure respect and devotion to Disney, even as they were making jokes about the overused tropes that previous Disney films used.
So yes, you have wonderfully cheesy jokes like this:
While also having genuine, heartfelt, nonironic, moments like this:
That whole dance sequence was phenomenal. They didn’t have to go that hard but they did because they wanted to immerse you in the feeling of Disney!
I mean, look at this, right here:
It’s obviously a pastiche of this shot from Beauty and the Beast:
A pastiche, not a parody, because they weren’t mocking it. They were saying, “Hey, remember that beautiful scene that blew you away, yeah, it blew us away too, we’re going to make an homage to it because we loved it so much.”
And that’s just one of the hundreds of references and easter eggs in the film.
Like we all know the scene in the park where they burst into sing and Robert’s just standing there like:
Classic!
A hilarious parody but it’s not a parody, it’s a pastiche, because when they’re bursting into song, it’s done to genuinely celebrate old Disney songs and not just mock them. Hey, fun fact, you know these dancers:
They’re the Chimney Sweepers (the actors who played them in Mary Poppins)!
They loved the Chimney Sweepers so they brought back the actors to do a three-second cameo in the film! There are hundreds of references and callbacks like that throughout the movie, all done to not only have a laugh at how cheesy Disney is but to celebrate that cheesiness with Disney, by Disney, with Disney (i/e: the references). It was the perfect homage!
That’s why Kristoff loudly scoffing about marrying a boy you just met falls flat; it’s meant to mock and not celebrate.
That’s why the new trailer with the princesses being reduced to one-dimensional archetypes while Vanellope looks scared for their wellbeing doesn’t work for me.
The jokes are funny, the animation was pretty, but there was no heart behind it.
Hell, even Shrek (and Shrek 2) of all things knew how to be a pastiche instead of an outright parody. That’s how you got genuinely epic moments like this:
Where they realized that yes, these tropes make for comedy gold, but there’s still something about them to be celebrated.
When Shrek celebrates Disney more than Disney’s celebrating Disney, there’s something wrong!
And I really hope that this new meta “haha we’re not like the other Disney films, we’re edgy, we’re mocking the old tropes” trend doesn’t stick around. Because these tropes may be sappy af, they may be overused, and there may be better ones out there, but they still deserve a happily ever after.
