(Okay, this is sort of tongue-in-cheek. I have to say that because people get Very Serious and Knee-Jerky on Tumblr, but also not really because I am Very Serious and Knee-Jerky about Anne of Green Gables. 😀)
First, to everyone who has messaged me
about Netflix securing the rights to another round of AoGG
awesomeness, you get me. You really get me.
Anne Shirley was and forever will be my Kindred Spirit. From
Katie-in-the-glass, to her cheerful, chin-up disposition as three
sets of twins (how Providence could see to it to grant three
sets…) suffer from colic and
typical toddlerhood, to her flibberty-jibbet, motor-mouth, running
off with her imagination at any clear opportunity ways, to her
desperation to be loved just as she is. I adored Emily, Diana, Ilsa,
Ruby, so many of L.M. Montgomery’s female characters but Anne?
Anne
was me. Anne was you, too, I bet, for a lot of us. Anne was the first female character
where everything made sense. I got why she did what she did (read:
the trouble she got into) and why she cared so passionately about
things, why she loved Diana, and in the end, why she loved Gilbert
Blythe. (Oh, we’ll get to Gilbert.)
1. Bodhi Rook deserved an “I Want” song about how terrible life in the Empire is and how he wants to pursue his dreams
2. Why would you give Krennic such a dramatic cape and personality if he wasn’t going to storm through the Death Star booming loudly about the unimaginable power and potential of the battle station
3. Why would you waste the opportunity to have Darth Vader dramatically and sinisterly reprise Krennic’s own song about unimaginable power as he looms above him
4. Angry duet between Cassian and Jyn as she finds out what his mission was and he rejects that side of him and points out how he’s a good guy and remembers that he has a heart
5. K-2SO sideshow number
6. Galen Erso singing “Stardust” to Jyn, with a gentle first run, a sad dying number, and then a reprise as she finds the plans–the whole song was the code to find the plans
7. Chirrut and Baze love ballad
8. Princess Leia can sing at the end. It would be revolutionary.
9. “So You’ve Seen Saw”, a bombastic and inescapable number that Saw sings as he interrogates Bodhi and introduces himself
10. This started out as a joke but now I actually genuinely want this you can’t tell me it wouldn’t work Disney get on this please
The second best pun I’ve ever encountered in the wild was when I was walking down the street in a “hip” part of Seattle and saw a couple of Budweiser cans thrown into a bush. And I said to a random stranger walking nearby “damn, the local beer harvest is really poor this year”. And the random stranger responded “give it time, they’re only buds”.
