I've been watching Shrek again, of course, and several things stuck out. In the first movie, they find the Magic Mirror. As soon as they pull off the blanket, the face appears. Why? Did he materialize to see who it was, or could he not control it? Also, where would they stumble across a Magic Mirror anyway? We all know Donkey gets conked on the head by Tinkerbell's jar, so maybe it was the same Magic Mirror she messed up her wish on.
Furthermore, in Shrek 2, first off how do Sergeant Pompous and the Fancypants even know where to find Princess Fiona? She hasn't gone to Far Far Away yet, so the other princesses introduced to us in Shrek The Third can't give directions. Yet they somehow know the princess lives in a swamp. Maybe they talked to the Magic Mirror, too. He can pull up an image of her in her tower, without (I assume) ever traveling there, so it's the only logical conclusion.
And here's some quotes. When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me. Desperate, they sought the help of a fairy godmother, who had them lock the young princess away. Fairy Godmother said only true love's kiss could break Fiona's curse.
I'm picturing Rumpelstiltskin running rampant long before the events of Shrek Forever After, perpetually hiring witches to ruin Fiona's life; not knowing that he essentially causes Shrek and Fiona to meet. With this assumption, Fairy Godmother is innocent of Fiona's curse; but, what if she created Rumpelstiltskin? What if she was the witch, but learned magic so she wouldn't be green like the creatures she was trying to kill? It seems plausible she would want to create a magician to carry on her evil legacy; Prince Charming seems to know nothing about magic. How else would Rumpel-stiltskin get his hands on magical contracts?
And what about that alternate universe? Is each individual in it just there because Shrek signed a contract? Or did they all sign con-tracts? On the one hand, Rumpelstiltskin refers to Shrek as the guy that made all this possible. But on the other hand, the alternate characters are signing their own contracts, implying they are not there just because of Shrek.
I could go on and on and on...But unfortunately I got zero sleep last night. Life has gone to hell in a hand basket. Day and night, it's just laughable. Only without any of the joy.

What's been going on to make your life hellish? :(
ReplyDeleteI should really get out of the OCD habit of checking in here every few hours after I post a comment until you reply, considering how long it often takes . . . :p
DeleteI just thought you were aware of the situation...
DeleteI wouldn't have asked if I knew ... I pick up bits on Facebook and here, but I'm never sure if I'm up-to-date, especially when people ask me questions and then don't reply for a week (Mom on FB) or post things like you did in your last paragraph and then don't come back for two weeks :p
DeleteIt doesn't really bother me if people don't want to talk about things, but I'd prefer they not drop hints if that's the case ... but I'd say Mom's worse for that; she asks questions and I reply and she takes days or weeks to get back to me and doesn't pick up where we left off, she starts a new topic ... mostly I figure she's mad at me for something. Whatever, I guess; I'll keep assuming that if something big happens that people think I should know about they'll tell me, hopefully they don't think I can read minds :p
Yeah, she's bad at that. Even in person. Says my name, asks me what I'm talking about before I can open my mouth, then gets all pissed off because I'm confused.
DeleteSorry, again. I just thought I'd caught you up, or Lorne had...
... So, is there something I'm supposed to know?
DeleteI think you're pretty much all caught up. She's been home since September, recovering from the effects from alcohol, but not from alcohol itself.
DeleteOh, she's still drinking? I thought you guys were fed up with that ...
DeleteOf course. We were fed up with it at Blueberry. But talking about it only makes it worse; and for financial reasons we're stuck living together. And you don't realize it until you're dealing with an alcoholic in your family, but there are a LOT of references to wine in That '70s Show and Big Bang Theory. And every time Kitty or Penny produce or mention wine, Mom orders more. And when she drinks, she screams throughout the night. That is why life is hellish.
DeleteMaybe TBBT should consider putting a "This program contains substances" warning in the beginning ... not that it would stop her, I guess, but at least it wouldn't cause cravings in people who do want to stop.
DeleteI had no idea she screams all night; don't the neighbours complain? :(
No. But there has been mention that all three might move out one day. Anyway, at around three thirty this morning I came out of my room, saw Mom awake, and we got to talking...She knows now that when she drinks, she becomes a little rude. She apologized and said she would try to turn things around.
DeleteWell, I guess that's a good start ... but I seriously doubt she's going to get any better if she keeps drinking, especially if her liver is so destroyed.
DeleteShe took about a week off. Drinking again, but acting better.

ReplyDeleteLooks like this weekend I'll be watching back to back shrek. It's due time anyway, I haven't seen it for a while.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching it twice in one day in my childhood. Plus once a week. Of course it's all memorized now.
