The Little Mermaid: My Personal Review 🧜🏾‍♀️

I grew up with Disney. I grew up with Disney Princesses, adventure, romance, music, and true love conquering all in the end. Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, and more to come right after as the years go by, as I grow up and become attached the creativity and wonder in films and TV shows that made Disney the way it is now.

I’ve seen the live action films. Not all of them, however. Just Aurora, Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle and now Ariel.

When I was a little girl I love Disney films, and my favorite was Beauty and the Beast. With its music, the animation, the storyline and its message on loving someone from the inside than out, it was my favorite – and I was so excited when a live action was to be form. Even better for my Harry Potter fan self when finding out the iconic Emma Watson, best known as Ms. Hermione Granger, was going to be my bookworm princess. And it fits her perfectly!

I loved it. I loved the live action films Disney made so far…

But none of them…

None of them made me cry – twice – than The Little Mermaid.

I loved The Little Mermaid. I love Jodi Benson for voicing the iconic red-headed princess of Atlantica. When I heard of the live action – when I found out who was portraying the princess, Ms. Halle Bailey, I was ready. Flashback to my childhood; I loved Brandy when playing Cinderella. The first Black Disney princess on the screen, and the film tops at number one for the creativity, the colors, the music, the diversity, the acting and just — everything was exactly how I dreamed of a world. No limits, no requirements, no rules. Just creativity at its finest.

The Little Mermaid just topped over them as number 1.

Like I mentioned before, I cried – twice! I won’t spoil anything, just say that it was everything you can do to bring the story back on a live screen and even bring out more creativity – more representation – more art than ever before in animation. I’m a creative artist; this was a dream to have more than once!

There were two sides of me out when watching this film. One side was the creative side. I was taken in on the cultures that were brought out, not clashing but combining with normality and equality among each other. The colors that brought the unique qualities of each person, from major to minor characters. The acting of characters portraying the characters I knew and new characters that extended the story to new heights. The music – Oh my gosh, the music! It was both a throwback and a new era of songs that I knew I was going to love the moment I heard the lyrics, the instrumental, and the vibes in full connection to the plot line. The plot was just exact, but with the new additions to have reality out more – making you believe mermaids do exist! It was just perfect.

And then, there was the other side. The one that was a child, watching a girl with the same skin tone as me playing one of my favorite princesses. Hearing her voice, seeing her adventure, watching her personality, admiring everything about her was just… I can feel myself wanting to cry. This wasn’t just about representation for me. I’m Black, and it was nice to see but when I watched the film, I didn’t focus on her skin, just how I did when I was younger. I never focused on skin, or cultural backgrounds, or how different we look. I only saw people. I saw a girl who got the chance to play a mermaid. I saw a girl who did all she did to make this mermaid iconic again. I saw a girl who I love and admire, thanking her from the inside on making my childhood shine again.

I am literally tearing up when I saw this was the best thing I ever saw from Disney. Inside Out made me cry a tear. Endgame made me sob like a baby. But the Little Mermaid… this is my childhood! Back on the screen! And it was so much better than anything I have imagine!

This is just me pouring my feelings out. I’m not expecting anyone to read this, or any celebrity to somehow know about it. I just… For anyone who wants to see the film but isn’t sure based on how negative others must feel, considering some films didn’t fulfill their expectations—

Watch it.

I saw today as a late Mother Day’s gift with my mom.

She loved it. I loved it.

Mark my word as a writer and a fantasy lover. This is worth watching.

Thank you to the following: Director Rob Marshall; screenplay writer David Magee; actors Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Trembley, Noma Dumezweni, Art Malik, Javier Bardem and Melissa McCarthy – my dearest and hilarious Ursula 🐙

Thank you for bringing these characters to life, bringing this story to life. As well to the other cast members I didn’t mention but are just as responsible and important for making this gift happen…

And a special thank you to my Ariels: Jodi Benson, the Ariel of my past; and Halle Bailey, the Ariel of my present. Thank you to these wonderful woman for making Ariel. I know if someday I would meet either one or both, I know I will just break down — my inner child in my heart wanting to thank these girls and how much it truly means to me.

And to one writer to another: Mr. Hans Christian Andersen. If it weren’t for you, none of this would have happened. Thank you for your gift in storytelling 🙏🏾❤️

Truly an unforgettable masterpiece 😭🧜🏾‍♀️🐙👏🏾

#the little mermaid #the little mermaid 2023 #the little mermaid 1989 #princess ariel #a childhood story brought back beautifully #Jodi benson #halle bailey #part of your world #I cried for both my adult self and my child self #just so beautiful 🥹#hans christian andersen

Warner Bros fired one of their PR for saying“next question, please” , when Tom Felton was asked by a Sky journalist about Rowling's absence in the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone celebrations.

After being asked why the line of questioning was cut short, the PR team said to Sky journalist: “JK Rowling is not connected to Warner or Tom Felton, the team felt it was not relevant to the piece,” and they wished to “separate the art from the artist.”

However, although omitting her name from some promotional materials for Fantastic Beasts, Warner has publicly defended the author and stated they are “proud” to work with “one of the world’s most accomplished storytellers.”

Warner denied that Felton had been stopped from talking about Rowling on their behalf, saying that the statement had been “wholly wrong” and adding that “Warner Bros. Studio Tour London regrets it happened as part of a media event that day.”

Source: X and X

Why this happened?

Tom Felton has a huge fan base in Potterhead community, because he is one of the few actors who are still a lot involved in the HP Fandom. Unlike Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who menaged to carry on with their careers aven after their teen years, Tom Felton isn't well-known for his present-day work.

Daniel Radcliffe passed through the child actor downfall: the pressures of Hollywood are just too much for children too handle and this led Daniel Radcliffe to cope with alcohol abuse to escape from his fame and future, but fortunately he menaged to get his life back on track. Emma Watson is the most successful child actor emerging from HP movies: accomplished actor, humanitarian, graduate of Brown University, was appointed UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and dedicates her efforts towards the empowerment of young women and in promoting gender equality.

Tom Felton's career is more close to Rupert Grint's one: both of them continued acting since the Harry Potter franchise, meaning that their careers are much more impressive than a lot of people might have expected, but are full of minor roles only.

So, it's natural that Tom Felton (unlike Rupert Grint) continue to be closely connected with HP community, which is a way to remember the greatest success of his life and keep his name on media, using his past role as Draco Malfoy.

However, Tom Felton, unlike the Golden Three (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint), became a very controversial figure for the LGBTQ+ HP fans!

Here an easy summery about WHY Tom Felton is not “wholesome” as he seems to be:

Source: twitter

Okay so first of all he liked one of jk Rowling’s transphobic tweets, and he had liked under 100 tweets and he had had Twitter for many years at that point so he must’ve read what it said, and then he started getting called out for being transphobic so he unliked it, but never gave an explaination or an apology.

He also never spoke out about jkrs transphobia, which he certainly knows about. And while most of the actors spoke out he stayed quite and has simply ignored the whole situation and didn’t stand up for trans people.

And quite recently he called jkr a genius which definitely isn’t true considering she’s a disgusting transphobic human being. And before you say “but he meant her writing” her writing is extremely problematic considering it includes racism, anti-semetism, fat phobia.

And more stereotypes. She also plagiarized almost of hp. And then he also promotes dracotok where they mostly sexualize him when he was in hp and a MINOR.

And yeah I and many more ppl find his actions problematic. And I think that him not speaking out about this when he has such a big fan base proofs that he doesn’t really care about the trans community.

And please if you’re a cis fan of him don’t speak over trans peoples voices when they try to explain how he’s hurt the trans community cuz I have seen many of his fans doing that. And just because some trans ppl forgive him doesn’t mean the whole community has when he hasn't given an apology.

Okay I’m just gonna add to this thread Tom has also now blocked multiple trans creators on tiktok for calling him out and asking him to apologize and address the situation.

#vavuskapakage #tom felton #harry potter books #harry potter franchise #harry potter movies #jk rowling #transphobia #trans people #trans rights #lgbtq+#lgbtq community #lgbtq+ community #twitter #rupert grint #emma watson #draco malfoy #daniel radcliffe

Benedict Cumberbatch Show 'Letters Live' is a 'Shot in the Arm'

"...Initially, Cumberbatch tells Variety, he felt “wary” about reading the dispatch, which Turing had written during one of the lowest points of his life, when he awaiting trial for homosexuality. Feeling protective of the computer science prodigy, “I didn’t really want to display him outside of the context that I’d been performing or inhabiting,” Cumberbatch explains. There was also the awkwardness of working out how to read the letter aloud. “Do I have to do him, be him? Or is it my own voice?” (Eventually the “Doctor Strange” actor decided to “lean in” to the characters of the letter-writers, especially if they speak in a particular dialect or voice).

By the end of his reading, Cumberbatch was a convert. “It was such a thrill,” he says. “It was such a beautiful, profound way to honour [Turing] in a different form.” So moving was the experience, Cumberbatch also came on board as a co-producer alongside Byng for what has since become an annual event called “Letters Live.”

Ten years on, “Letters Live” is a bona fide extravaganza sponsored by Mont Blanc which this year is taking place at London’s Royal Albert Hall (home to dazzling events including the world premiere of “No Time to Die” in 2021) on Thursday evening local time. Letter readers include Emma Watson, Olivia Coleman, Stephen Fry and of course Cumberbatch himself.

“It is a bit like doing a skydive,” Cumberbatch explains. “Once you hit the ground you want to go back up again; once you’ve read a letter, you want to go and read it again. We have a lot of actors who say it’s their favourite part of their diary. They always ring us to check on our availability rather than the other way around.” It doesn’t hurt that there is also a philanthropic component to “Letters Live,” which fundraises for literary organization The Reading Agency.

Audiences won’t know in advance which letters they’re going to hear (they’re curated by a brain trust that includes Byng, Cumberbatch and “Letters of Note” author Shaun Usher) and often even which celebrities are taking part. (When Variety catches up with Byng and Cumberbatch during rehearsals they reveal Woody Harrelson has just been added as a last-minute surprise guest.)

“It allows us an incredible blank canvas when we’re putting a show together because you’ve got such a deep well in terms of the history of literary correspondence,” says Byng. This year’s missives include a typically eclectic selection, ranging from a 2,000-year-old letter from Roman philosopher Pliny to a message sent just a few weeks ago to British politician Suella Braverman from comedian Joe Lycett.

Do the “Letters Live” producers worry that with traditional letter-writing fast becoming a dying art, there’ll be far less correspondence to choose from in years to come? “Very much so,” Cumberbatch says. “It is a slow art. And it can distil a moment in a way that allows for more space and reflection rather than reaction. We live in a very heated, polarized time and a letter — not least because it is more than 140 characters — allows for nuance and greyness and discussion and a far broader bracket of empathy or understanding for whatever it might be about...."

I'm truly about to throw an outsized, fucking FIT! WTF is Benedict Cumberbatch doing, appearing in another Letters Live event? Bying, Usher, ALL of them, are a bunch of mediocre, un-talented, international criminals. And is this Variety article even true, since traditionally, Letters Live does not announce its readers, until closer to the event.

In addition, the last time, Cumberbatch fans had to deal with seeing him forced to hawk the very shady charity, Choose Love. You know, the one whose name was inspired by Aleister Crowley and has allegations against the organization for abuse of former employees.

Who's weak shit does he have to push, this time?

Do his fans have to put up with Cumberbatch being mocked by the choice of poems that Usher and Bying pick for him?

Is he going to be forced to say 'I love you' to his Ex-partner, Hunter, again?

In addition, the popularity of this farce has gone downhill.

#WTF!!#Letters Live is a criminal enterprise #Barely disguised money laundering that doesn't even pay that well for the suckers who produce it!#AND FUCK WOODY HARRELSON!!#Stupid Marxist Motherfucker #I see now why Prince William did not pick the Royal Albert Hall for the last BAFTA #There us something bery shady about that place #benedict cumberbatch

Long gone are the days when I didn’t research my favorite celebrities. One such favorite was Emma Watson, who was announced as the new muse and ambassador for Prada on August 18th, after asking on their Instagram stories ‘’who is she?’’ as if we didn’t see her the last 20 years, she is not a newbie.

My first thought was ‘’wait, Prada was rated by Goodonyouapp as Not Good Enough, so the perfume must be shady as well’’ and I was right. Prada’s fragrances are not cruelty-free, not even the latest release called Paradoxe, as in they could be tested on animals such as bunnies whether directly by the brand or indirectly by suppliers or third-party, they even sell in mainland China, where such tests are still required by law.

Emma Watson and Prada wanted to come across as sustainable in the new behind the scenes video. Yet, only the 100ml bottle of the perfume is refillable. Ethically all available 30 and 50ml bottles should also be refillable in Prada stores. They failed to explain what exactly is sustainable about Emma’s self-image campaign advert, which barely featured the perfume(Paradoxe) she was expected to sell/promote.

Three photos of Emma leaked already, which is surprising to me, even the behind the scenes video was not posted by official accounts which showed lack of professionalism handling the campaign. Emma Watson did fire her Prosper PR team after she received backlash over black squares posted on her Instagram account. She must have thought she has the last word when she posted black squares recently, on the same Instagram account.

All so called luxury brands want to be perceived as sophisticated, expensive, yet testing on animals is an unnecessary practice, they could have easily said a firm ‘’NO’’ to selling their products where such practices are still required, but one can guess business and profits are above the ‘’do not harm’’ principle. If they wanted to be sustainable they would have taken action in that direction. This is another example of greenwashing enabled by celebrity hype. Is it really luxury if animals are slaughtered for a perfume?

Emma herself is not an (eco)activist as she flew during the pandemic for leisure, feminist(slut-shamed women at 17 and was named in the Panama Papers with an off-shore company among many other unethical things) or anything close to sustainable(she is mostly papped shopping for fast fashion for which there’s plenty of photographic evidence, never for a book, music or art supplies).

I wonder what happened to ”we have so much power to change the world just by being careful in what we buy”(February 2019 on Goodonyou) and ”I have committed to only purchasing and wearing brands that are rated ‘It’s A Start’ or above, as I want to be able to support brands moving in the right direction.”(Vogue UK 2020) as most of her sartorial choices were rated Not Good Enough by the same company she endorsed(search a brand here).

Lack of a PR team means that news of her relationship with Brandon Green(son of Arcadia Group owner P. Green) overshadowed the news of her Prada collaboration, this relationship alone shows where her priorities are. A paradox – so the name of the fragrance fits Emma like a glove. She even has a diva reputation for being rude, dismissive to fans as young as 6 years old, to journalists since she was 11, to everyone from film crews, film extras, restaurant and festival staff to her own drivers to whom she had a tendency to yell at, a snob in public(from people who met her in Oxford, Headington School, Oxford Uni, Brown Uni, HP premieres, out and about etc.).

She clearly chose prestige and money over values. The Female Lead was right to advise young people to choose a role model carefully because Emma is clearly the opposite of one. Her image was built by her former PR teams and perpetuated by the media(which we know is an illusion). I’m not falling for greenwashing enabled by celebrity hype anymore. Thanks to the internet for enabling me to get better informed!

---

Okay, serious question: Does this person read Sam or my blog? Or do they just do their own research, because everything this person says has been mentioned on this blog.

They're being pretty harsh, but they're not exactly wrong. They're right in saying that the ad focused more on her than on the perfume. And then there's the fact that the perfume isn't cruelty free! The bottle being refillable doesn't really seem that great after learning this.

And is it true that the 30ml and 50ml bottles can't be refilled? I just thought that people could just buy the 100ml bottle and fill them gradually.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Next to The Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a step down for the series. That’s not to say it’s bad. The characters are deeper and the plot shows another level of maturity. The special effects are terrific and the performances are the best so far. It even does a solid job translating J.K. Rowling’s mammoth tome to the screen, though there's so much story to tell it can feel a bit rushed - even at 157 minutes.

During his fourth year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enlisted against his will into the Triwizard Tournament, a competition in which the best students of three prominent schools test their wits and skills in dangerous challenges. In way over his head against three older students, Harry turns to his best friends, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) for help. Meanwhile, school headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) and Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher Alastor ‘Mad Eye’ Moody (Brendan Gleeson) wonder who put Harry’s name into the Goblet of Fire… and why.

Fans of the book will notice several changes between it and this film. Actions done by certain characters are given to others, scenes are omitted for the benefit of the running time and the plot is condensed & simplified. At the beginning of the picture, it can feel as if we are blitzing from one important plot point to another. On the upside, these decisions make the most of the medium of film. Much more screen time is given to Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom, the mediocre, often bumbling Griffindor student who gets the opportunity to show himself as a real person and not simply a comedic aside. Another character who stands out is Ron Weasley who, for much of the film, is a bit of an insufferable git… which makes perfect sense considering the age of the characters. They’re turning 14 and if romances were being hinted at in the third picture, they’re front-and-center here. There’s jealousy, crushes, disappointments and many misunderstandings of the heart that make Hogwarts feel like a real place and not just somewhere for a plot to happen.

The action scenes are another of the film's strengths. Harry's first Triwizard challenge is a full-on adrenaline-pumping showstopper that makes you realize – if the Klu Klux Klan-like followers of evil Wizard Voldemort didn’t already – how real the danger is. While there may be magic and whimsy in every classroom, it's clear the walls of Hogwarts are not immune to serious issues. We’ve seen fantastical creatures that would have anyone running for the hills since the first pic and each villain has ranged from the sinister to the murderous but this is different. Many of the adults on the side of the heroes, from the delightfully batty Professor Moody to the oddly neurotic Ministry of Magic official Barty Crouch (Roger Lloyd-Pack), have a darker side that shows the series is growing with its audience.

When Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ends, you’ll be eager for what’s next. The plot promises so much more to come and adds much complexity to everything we’ve seen before. The big scenes are the kind that sticks in your memory and they’re made even more robust by everything surrounding them: the characters, the world, the writing, the performances and the art direction. The length may feel daunting but trust me, you won't feel it. (On Blu-ray, July 21, 2018)

The day Leonard Cohen died even the sky wept for him. I woke to texts from my friends at the time trying to protect my broken heart from grieving but as much as we want to protect our loved one's hearts from grieving it's a form of magic not accessible to us mere mortals. I died a thousand times missing Leonard and I know some people will call me silly for grieving for someone I didn't know but what you must understand, I spent so many lonely nights comforted by his words and his words alone, so how could I not know him?

I went to see the Elvis film with my sister, and as I walked into the cinema, I KNEW he died at 42, I know he suffered drug and alcohol abuse, I KNEW this but still the knowledge didn't protect me from breaking down in the cinema when they showed his last performance singing "Unchained Melody" and when he sang "I'll be coming home, wait for me" I disvoled into a grief of such intensity I was sure I was simply going to die. There's a moment in the film where his ex wife is telling him I can get you help, I can bring you to Rehab and there's a deep sadness in him and he just says no. That's all he says is no. Two letters. But those two tiny letters held this pain that he was beyond help.

I'm poor and a nobody. Somedays I fantasise about being famous and rich but most days I'm grateful for being a nobody. I think it's a terrible infliction to be famous. Your worst days, the times your on your knees are splashed across the front pages of newspapers and people talk about you as if your absent of feelings. The world watched Amy Whinehouse, Elvis, Whitney Houston, Leonard Cohen and many many more being really sick and suffering. There pain was splashed across newspapers and people on radio and TV debated there sickness and addictions as if it was entertainment.

I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter; it was my childhood and I'm grieving because JK Rowling has come out with such hate for trans people who I adore, I'm heartbroken that my childhood hero has turned to hate against the very people she gave hope to. Daniel Radcliffe suffered an alcohol problem, he said he turned 18 and was handed millions of pounds and was surrounded by people who never said no to him and he began drinking a lot. I don't judge him for a second as I often to turned to seeking answers at an end of a bottle but it upset that pictures of him drunk and in an awful state where splashed across the papers, imagine being on your knees in pain and photos of your agony being so public, it's horrible and cruel. Emma Watson said in a interview the day the she turned 18 she went for dinner with her family and when she can out of the restaurant, the photographers were lying on the ground trying to get photos of her underwear up her dressed because she was now 18. To be victimised at such a young and venerable age was deeply distressing to me particularly Emma who is a fierce warrior for equality for women. These are just two examples of how vicious the media can be with no regard for human emotions and feelings.

I'm from Waterford, Ireland and I joined Waterford Youth Arts when I was 15 years old because I was interested in theatre. I hated it. There was far too much hugging and screaming from the other members and I found the games stupid and embrassing. I was all set to leave the world behind me after a month or two when I made my way to Garter Lane Theatre to see a production of To Leap From Paradise by the late, great Jim Daly. I was captivated and fell in love with the words and life's on stage I recognised as my own. I found out about Red Kettle Theatre Company and fell in love with the idea that a group of people from my home, from Waterford, got together and created magic. I loved that they put on plays with a beginning, a middle and an end with sets and costumes. I was far more interested in this than playing silly games. In my investigation of this group of people I discovered Ben Hennessy, a wonderful artist and set designer, my now favourite ever Playwright Jim Nolan and an extraordinary actress Jenni Ledwell. They were so talented, nationally known and famous artists, and they were from my hometown. I adored them and they became my hero's, by absolute stroke of luck they became my friends I'm so grateful to be able to say. I remember seeing Jenni Ledwell in Eden in The Theatre Royal and I fell head over heels in love with her. She was amazing and stole my heart. I waited for her afterwards with the intention of asking for her autograph, but when she came out from backstage in whirl of energy and light with a radiant smile I was too shy to go up to her, this was THE Jenni Ledwell like. I told her years later when we became friends and she laughed and said "Yea fecking eejit Teeny!" We lost Jenni recently and I've never been as affected by death as I was by hers, the grieve of losing someone famous, someone I adored and someone who is my friend is unbearable on the worst days, heartwrenching on the somewhat better days.

I find it very distressing to watch these famous people suffering because in my mind I simply can't separate the fact that they have feelings and are in pain with that there famous.

When I told my pyschratist I was grieving them, a look of utter confusion came across his face and he said "I'm sorry Martina we don't have a tablet for that" he simply didn't know what to do with such an intense grief on a daily bases.

I'm a mess, I cry when I'm sad, I cry when I'm happy, I'm always crying. I can't separate loving someone and being in pain for their pain, I'm constantly and forever more overcome with emotions on a daily bases, either overcome with love and drowned in grief. I'm mental and I don't know if it's because I'm mental or if it's just the way I am but everything is very intense. It's a price I pay for being able to love and if that's the cost I don't mind paying it.

I'm obsessed with famous people, the talented who rise to the top, sometimes I feel like I have no right to know these initmate details of their lives but I only want to know to understand their lives and hearts.

I was going through a really hard time, was hidden in lies and secrets. Jim Nolan, my favourite Playwright knew me briefly at the time, he could see I was in pain and reached out to meet me for a coffee. I couldn't tell him what was troubling me. The coffee was brief because I didn't have the words to explain my pain but at the end Jim peered at me with concerned eyes and said "Martina someone told me on my dark days, no matter how bad things seem, it WILL pass, try and remember that" I didn't believe him at the time, I couldn't ever imagine that pain leaving but I'm grateful to say Jim WAS right. It passed. It was such a gift to know my hero, someone famous, had dark days too and survived. It gave me hope that not only could I survive but I might be able to be talented too despite my faults.

Right now, I'm exhausted with emotion, nothing bad happened! In fact quiet the opposite I had a great week but I'm just drained for feeling so happy and love for my friends and family. I do become so overwhelmed with love for the people in my life I have to cry to release the emotions. Its funny and I'm used to it and I know I need to rest for a time now. I wonder if their is a heaven, and I highly doubt I'd be allowed in for my sins but if I am I wonder will I get to meet these famous people and thank them for the profound impact they've had in my life. Because really amongst the love is a deep gratitude to them. What can I say, I love the bones off them!
