Tonight Scottie and I had a date night! We went to see Oz the Great and Powerful! I saw previews for it the last time we were at the theater (for Scottie's birthday in January, when we saw Les Mis) and I'd wanted to see it. :3 We used to go to the movies a lot, but we haven't gone very often the last couple of years (a mix of cost issues and me being too antsy to get me into a theatre).

But tonight we decided to go! The cheap theatre was playing Oz so that worked out well. :3

I thought the movie was quite cute and funny! I'm going to avoid being spoilery, but I wanted to talk about a character that was introduced in the movie.

The little china doll girl. I hadn't seen her in the (one?) preview I'd seen, so when I saw her I was squeeing like mad. SHE HAS BALL JOINTS! SHE'S LIKE THE SIZE OF A BJD. SHE IS SOOOO CUTE OMGGGGGGGGGG. I liked the movie quite a bit but by far she was my favorite part of the movie. xD

I was a bit surprised by the wicked sisters. I figured Evanora would be the wicked witch, I mean, she was shown as an evil witch in sparkling green. I didn't think Theodora, who didn't seem evil at first- just tempermental, and was dressed in red would end up actually being the wicked witch instead. The colors were a red herring! lol

My one complaint is that in some of the opening scenes in Oz, when we were looking at scenery, the movie didn't translate into 2D well. We weren't watching the 3D version, so I wasn't expecting the scenes to be all weird and blurry like you were watching a 3D movie without the glasses. I don't know what happened there because it wasn't an issue for the rest of the movie though. o_O

I took a picture of my Soah yesterday and didn't post it yet. Here's my lovely Soah holding Frankie. Not the fanciest picture but I thought it turned out nice enough. n_n

Those dolls absolutely creep me out. I've been terrified of them since I was little and my grandmother and sisters always insisted on getting them for me for my birthday or Christmas. I understood how collectable and valuable they were, but people just didn't understand that I was PETRIFIED of them. They always ended up stashed in my closet with a barricade against the door. Hee hee...

But that is a lovely picture of a very haunting looking and beautiful bjd.

I'm looking forward to seeing Oz the Great and Powerful. But I'll have to wait until it comes out.

That's too bad that your family insisted on getting you dolls when you obviously didn't like them though. xP My family got me porcelain dolls when I was growing up, but I asked for them! hehe I kept most of them at my room at my gramma's house. On night my brother needed to stay in my room there and he was so creeped out by my cabinet of dolls that he went and slept in the landing instead. lol

I'm glad that you like the picture even though you find dolls creepy! I think Soah is so pretty so I like to share her with the world. :3

Oz was a pretty fun movie!
