  1. The Scuttlebutt (The Little Mermaid 2023) I find it interesting that the Live Action Little Mermaid added new songs but none of them are the new songs that were added to the Broadway adaptation of The Little Mermaid which was also done by Alan Menken. Instead they brought in my enemy Lin-Manuel Miranda to assist Menken with new lyrics for new songs. I have to say that I think the Broadway songs work more because while adding new parts (such as a Flotsam and Jetsam song) they still stay very close to the vibe that Howard Ashman had with the original music. Again with the example of the Flotsam and Jetsam song "Sweet Child" it flows right in to "Poor Unfortunate Souls" seamlessly. Likely because Glenn Slater had worked with Alan Menken several times before taking the big role of stepping in for Howard Ashman who doesn really great work in the original Little Mermaid. But with a song like "The Scuttlebutt" it just feels like it sticks out like a sore thumb. Like they needed Lin-Manuel Miranda put in his elementary level rap song because that's who LMM is and he can't be stopped. No matter if the song or movie calls for it or not. The Little Mermaid has such a great collection of songs, the Broadway adaptation was able to add some great new additions seamlessly, and even some of the new additions in this new movie are fine. And with that all in mind it makes the very awkward, very weird, and very poor "The Scuttlebutt" stand out like a sore thumb. Save: The Age of Not Believing

  4. Debi Mazar Who is Debi Mazar you might ask? Good question because despite seeing her face and being like "Oh I know her" I cannot name off the top of my head a single movie or tv show she's actually been in. So let's see why I know her face. She has a very striking one so it's possible I just saw it somewhere and was like "Bank that in my brain: Debi Mazar." Let's see. Some facts from Wikipedia as I read it to figure it out. Debi Mazar started her career as a B-Girl! OMG SHOULD I TAKE BACK MY CUT? I'm already halfway through this write-up so I won't. Then it goes on to some music video stuff, some stuff in movies, her wedding was officiated by ELLEN BURSTYN. I might be regretting my choices here. Okay looking through I must know here from a few episodes of Younger and just regular cultural osmosis since she's appeared in a lot of things I've watched. Also GTA III. Anyway, Debi was on Season 9 of DWTS. She was paired with Maks Chmerkovskiy. They were eliminated 4th in what seems like no big loss. Saving: Corbin Jeopardy: Martin

  9. you know what? sure. I'll bring back "Someday My Prince Will Come" even if it gets eliminated again it at least gets bumped up nearly 100 spots.
  10. Star of Something New (High School Musical) As you know I am obsessed with HSM, but there's too much of an earnestness in the duets between Troy and Gabriella that don't match the camp of the rest of the songs. They tend to all kind of be the same song. And some of the most boring songs in the HSM franchise. I mean Troy being a basketball player who loves to sing and theater and also making out with hot girls isn't that unique when all the basketball players can sing and also do things like BAKE. But I LOVE Zac Efron. And I love how baby he looks in this movie! So young! This is a cute song and a cute performance. But I think it's fair here to save some older songs. (That probably won't make it that far anyway, but you know I don't want them to go away quite yet!). Saving: The Sword in the Stone (The Sword in the Stone)
  11. We Belong Together I have watched Toy Story 3 three times, all within the year it came out. I have not watched it more than that because every time I see it I have a full emotional breakdown. Literally the first time I saw it I sobbed for like 15 minutes after and my mom (cool lady I swear) thought it was hilarious to make me cry in the Kohl's after while shopping for my dad's Father Day present. I then saw it in theaters again with friends and thought since I had my full sobbing breakdown the first time it wouldn't happen again but I should have known better because I cried A LOT again. And then the third time I watched it as a double feature with up with a different set of friends because apparently I am a masochist for emotions! Anyway, I say all that to show how much I enjoy Toy Story 3 and the emotional impact it left on me. Because I have no idea what this song is. It's certainly no "You've Got a Friend in Me" or "When She Loved Me" that's for sure! Saving: Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum (Fun and Fancy Free)
  12. the other HSM song being cut is: Start of Something New (High School Musical)

  16. the same conversation my mom blew my mind by saying "oh you know Mary Poppins and Maria are the same person. Also the actress can't sing anymore" because as a child I was very thrown off when people had different colored hair between movies. LOLOLOL. So really just a bombshell of an entire conversation between me and my mom. LOL.
