Holy Jeebus.<\/p>\n
Alright, just checked out a few clips from Disney’s Hercules<\/em>, from 1997.<\/p>\n You know how I talked on this blog a few times about the influence that Greek mythology had on me as a kid? When I was young, before I had access to Hollywood, the Greek myths were my fantasy world of choice.<\/p>\n Ohhkay, then. Just watching the first two minutes of Hercules <\/em> brought back a literal wealth of memories. Geez, unreal. What? Okay, another coincidence? No, I think not. Wayyyy too direct, here. Way too pointed and shockingly… obvious<\/em>.<\/p>\n Okay, then. <\/p>\n When this flick was released I was in high school and still in my “too cool for kid’s stuff” phase so I missed it, of course. So, yeah, checking it out now is kind of blowing my mind. It’s like reliving my old daydreams. Un-fucking-real.<\/p>\n Wow. Utterly wow. <\/p>\n Well… wow. Incredible. <\/p>\n Wow.<\/p>\n And yes, Hercules was my favorite character from the myths. I must have read and reread his stories dozens of times in reading classes. I also came up with my own adventures, of course. I invented my own mythologies using the gods, demigods, and other assorted characters from the myths. And it seems that with Hercules<\/em>, that’s what you’re seeing.<\/p>\n But, I’m sure you already knew that. Hell, whoever is reading these things probably knows more about what I read and fantasized about back then than I do.<\/p>\n Wow.<\/p>\n Unreal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Holy Jeebus.
