Winx Club

So. My favorite show re-premiered in the U.S. today.

Winx Club.

I watched it frequently as a kid and was completely addicted.
I was really excited at first to hear the familiar old theme, to see the awesome transformations and to re-learn about the Magix kingdom.
I was really surprised, because the show was changed a lot.

First off, the editors cut out a bunch of scenes, making the show seem way to fast and rushed.

Secondly, (and this annoyed me.) they made it so that "Winx" means nothing.

Bloom: "How about the Winx?"
Flora (or Musa, can't remember.) "That's great, but what does Winx mean?"
Bloom: "Nothing! It's just us. The Winx!"

Uh, Winx means everything. Magic, life, fairies, etc. I was dissapointed with them taking the meaning away, but it's not huge.

Third, the theme. I really loved the first theme, which talked about each power separately and showed the fairies transformations.

"Magical flowers, digital powers, rhythms and tunes, the sun and the moon."

Althought that theme was a little cheesey, and this new one was more mature. It reminded me a lot of the Italian version.

The dialogue was changed a lot too, but in a better way. The show seems like it's aimed more at older kids now, unlike before when it seemed to be more for little kids.

There are other things that were changed, but I can't really remember those. I'll re-watch the show tonight and add them.

My Life

I'm such an akward turtle. -.-I rarely talk to boys, and when I do, it doesn't work out. At all. So I've decided... I hate love. And couples. I mean really, we DO NOT give a care if you're in love!! Make out at home or something! Don't waltz into a resturant cuddling and making others feel like crud. Because I know I feel like that. I get that feeling every darn day. I can gurantee you right now that I'm not going to prom. I'm going to sit at home with a pint of ice cream, my cat and a pile blankets. I'm going to watch Titanic and cry. Grrr.

Inception Reveiew

I usually don't review movies. But I watched a movie today that I just need to talk about. Inception. Inception was... different. I thought it'd be really underrated or something, because what most people think of as good I say is crap, and vice versa. Well, Inception was the one outcast.

The movie wasn't as mental as I thought it would be. It was SO much more. I found myself pausing frequently just to mull over what I had heard. At least a dozen times. The movie made more sense as it went on, but still. It's something you really have to think about.
The ending freaked me out. I was dying to see what happened, but apparently we never will. -.- I can deal with that though. The movie in itself was satisfying enough to let me let go of that.

My favorite character...

hmm. Tied between Arthur and Ariadne. Am I the only one who noticed that joke? Ariadne? A Greek princess who led Thesus through a maze? Such a clever idea. Kudos to whoever thought of that. Arthur was just wonderful. So funny and charming. And incredibly smart. I hardly understood what he was doing until he was nearly done. I feel like such an Inception person myself because my dreams are much like that structure. Multiple layers, so many that it's difficult to remember them all.

(Most accurate picture EVER above. ^)

Although my dreams are so odd that anyone would realize they're dreams when they're in them. Odd wouldn't even be accurate to describe them. Erratic maybe. Or idiosyncratic.

Overall, the movie was pretty fantastic. I'd definitely watch it again. I might be able to understand it more the second time through. Or the tenth.
