Magnificent Maleficent!

I've enjoyed most of the live-action remakes of Disney cartoons, I thoroughly enjoyed Maleficent. Mostly due to the magnificent makeup of Rick Baker, the beauty of Angelina Jolie, the sweetness of Elle Fanning, and the excellent rendition of the dragon.

Here are several pics of Mal.

The squabbling faeries.

C'mon, this is the only dragon pic provided in the pamphlet. Sheesh.

Wonder where the director Robert Stromberg got some of his ideas? Look no further...

Here is a snippet of the 3 faeries, (in Japanese).



I dug through the archives of my past posts and came up with this picture.

I acquired this eye-mask as a gift when I purchased an advanced ticket of the movie.

Here are some of the goods I didn't purchase.

I scored this towel from a flea market a few years back.

Today's Kemono Friend just happens to be セイリュウ (Seiryu), a Goddess with a dragon's tail.

Here is Seiryu in action in the mobile game.



This is the original dragon upon which she is based, the Azure Dragon.

(Scammed from Yokai.com) Seiryū is a large blue-green dragon with a long tongue. His home is in the eastern sky. He spans seven of the twenty-eight Chinese constellations, taking up one quarter of the entire sky. The constellations which make up the horn and neck of the dragon are located in Virgo. The constellation which makes up the chest of the dragon is located in Libra. The constellations which make up his heart, belly, and tail are located in Scorpius. The final constellation makes up his dung, and is located in Sagittarius.

Today's treat is courtesy of a Sweets shop in Kitakami.

Alas, this puppet show is not operative and is only for display. It is very cool!

I'll drop you a link to the host of the Halloween Blogathon, John Rozum, who is worth visiting daily just to see what movies he's watching this month.
