I'm Just One Of Those Ghosts, Traveling Endlessly

This dude always be on a boat…

The way Vader speaks differently from Anakin, not just accent but diction, makes me wonder how the heck he picked that up. Did Palpatine decide, "You must speak properly and menacingly, my disappointingly casual apprentice"?

you know how Katara was the Painted Lady and then the real Painted Lady showed up cause her river was clean like "thank you" and that was pretty cool? Yeah? Ok:

Talking to a customer about classic children’s lit and how many of them firmly believe that fresh air and sunshine will cure any number of unspecified Victorian illnesses. I mentioned The Secret Garden and how much I like that the protagonists are basically just feral gremlin children who are very unpleasant to be around until they somehow manage to socialize each other.

#the difference between Sara and Mary being that Mary was emotionally neglected and Sara was not#Sara has a very loving and involved father who prioritizes her happiness#perhaps to a fault but Sara does grow up very secure and with inner resources that give her resilience and a strong sense of compassion#which help her a LOT in what she has to go through#whereas Mary's parents completely rejected and ignored her and had no investment in raising her into a well-adjusted person#she has never been loved and thus is unable to show love to herself or anyone else#so restoring a garden that's been neglected as she was is a kind of therapy for her#and so is being surrounded by people who do actually engage with her and care about her or at the very least lead her toward growth#so basically The Secret Garden is about two children helping each other heal from emotional neglect#while A Little Princess is about a girl's fight to keep her abusive environment from taking away her self-worth and integrity

"Is this movie actually bad, or does it just have a female protagonist?"
