i bought shrek on dvd yesterday. i think that shrek is the best animated movie so far (yes, even better than spirited away) if not one of the best movies. whereas a lot of other movies appeal to one type of person or another, shrek has something for everyone. it’s funny, it’s romantic, and it’s clever. there are action scenes, and scenes where you actually feel for the characters even tho they are cartoons. but i think most important of all, it draws from childhood fairy tales that everyone knows; not sex nor violenence for once.

i think it’s annoying how some people put javascript blocks onto their page so you can’t right click and stuff like that. it’s dumb, because they probably want to protect their images or other content, but if you really wanted to steal it, it really isn’t that difficult. the frustrating thing is that by blocking right clicks, some people (namely me) can’t surf properly. for example if i wanted to open a link in a new window (i know, i can just shift+click) or check the properties on the page/link, i wouldn’t be able too. it’s kind of the same thing with people who obfuscate the status bar with junk but it’s better to be blind than to not be able to do anything. i know one solution to this is to put sites you don’t want javascript enabled into your restricted zone and ones that you want javascript on for in other. but that’s really too much of a hassle, so i was trying to find a better solution. i was thinking how it would be really useful if there was something like the googlebar for toggling javascript on/off. i know there’s stuff like that for mozilla/opera but no one’s written an equivalent for internet explorer (and i’m sure it can be done).
