godreamI really, really should start packing.
Instead, I'm watching all the kiddie movies that I'll feel too embarrassed to see once I'm a college student. (This summer doesn't count yet, right?) Went to see The Princess Diaries 2 with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rainbwfairie yesterday -- it was really nice to see her and *sigh* reminds me of all the people I swore I'd get together with this summer, before this whole scattering for college thing happened, before I start getting swamped with classes and everything, and just didn't. The movie was adorable and lighthearted and okay, the musical number was maybe a little strange, but whatshisface the prince was cute and there was a happy ending, and really, what more can a girl ask for, right? Okay, plot, there was some plot -- predictable, especially if you've seen the ads -- and it was of course utterly devoid of deeper meaning beyond something suspiciously like "girls should always put love before careers", but one does not go to see movies with titles like "The Princess Diaries 2" if one is looking for deeper meaning. As a cute summer afternoon kind of movie, it was pretty good.
Then I grabbed the 2003 Peter Pan while reshelving at the library this morning, and it was even better. There were a couple of moments requiring industrial-strength suspension of disbelief -- but, well, I'm too cynical for my own good sometimes, plus I was watching it with four goofy siblings, so comments of "the planets are too close together" and "flying in a nightgown isn't such a good idea, is it?" probably were to be expected. But the movie was beautiful -- all the scenery and the costumes and just the whole look and feel were unbelievable, fairy-taley and lovely and if it weren't past midnight I'd be really, really tempted to stick the DVD in my computer and watch it again. Jeremy Sumpter, the kid who plays Peter Pan, was way cuter than any kid younger than my little brother has a right to be. And awwwww, thimbles. :D
