2012 is now upon us and, as we all know, its the end of the world. The Aztec's calender ends this year, and thus does the whole world.
Because of the potential end of all things I have thought long and hard about all the things I have sworn that I would never do/watch/play unless it was the last thing on earth. Considering that it very well may be I have decided to give those things a shot.
Think about all the things that have come and gone that you were so prejudiced against that you would not even try them. For me that would be the Disney movies that were between The Lion King and Tarzan. Those movies I hated with a passion and refused to watch.
Pocahontas: Disney doing real life events? Its one thing to retell a story, but to retell something that historically happened? What? Is Disney going to redo world war two but explain that it was all a mistake and Hitler really was cursed by an old gypsy woman until he could find true love? The very idea of it upsets me.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Most Disney movies are based on incredibly old folk lore or things that really didn't mean much until Disney got their mitts on them. Now they are messing with a literary classic, and one of the most depressing stories I have ever read. How are they going to take a story where every character is a dirtbag and they all die in the end and make it happy? It basically ruins everything the story was about.
Hercules: Now here is something that is open to interpretation Except I just watched all of the Hercules stories staring my personal hero Kevin Sorbo and Disney didn't even bother to get him to play the part. Not only that but they completely threw out any resemblance to the actual myths and made up their own nonsense.
Mulan: For the longest time I actually thought this was based on a true story and hated it with all the passion I hated Pocahontas with. I have recently learned I was incorrect, but I still haven't given it a second chance.
To honor this year I am going to go back and watch these movies with an open mind. To see if maybe I was a little too hasty in drawing judgement.
I now challenge all of you. What kind of media is out there that you completely wrote off for no good reason? I think it is time to give those things a chance.

Actually first off the reason the aztec's calender ended for 2012 is basically and end of a cycle. Like are year end calender, also Mulan was based off actual events that did happened. But all of them are good movies. But even if it is the end of the world I still refuse to watch a movie that has either J-lo, or Julia Roberts in it unless they are killed off in the first part of the movie like Jersey Girl.

A good grunge primer would be the Singles movie soundtrack. With the exception of Paul Westerberg and Smashing Pumpkins, all the artists were key players in the 90's grunge boom.

Mulan is based off the legend of Hua Mulan, which is told in the epic poem "The Ballad of Mulan"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Mulan
So while this "Hua Mulan" *might* have actually existed there is no clear way to tell, and Disney is obviously using the story as their inspiration and not historical fact. While Pocahontas on the other hand is them taking something that is only known as historical fact and spinning it into a crazy fairy tale.
Though Disney also made short movies about Casey Jones, Pecos Bill, and Johnny Appleseed, who were all real legit people, so I guess Pocahontas was not the first one.

*frantic calculation*
*checks wikipedia*
2011 was not only prime, but also the sum of eleven consecutive primes, and even a sexy prime. And I never knew until it was gone ;_;
This is like going to Clark Kent's funeral and finding a cape draped over the coffin.
Keep it real in 2012. Cheers, my merry band o' murderers!
