It was all set to be a wonderful chill Christmas at home, when Costella decided to make it a party fest of all too fun proportions. It was fun, but I was pooped, and I spent the latter half of it recuperating. Though I daresay, with my new laptop and smart phone, one barely need leave home. How I lived without either, I'll never know.
Of all the Disney villains, Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty" is my favorite. While all of them have some sort of motive--Jafar thirsts for power, and wants to be Sultan; Scar is jealous of his brother, and of little Simba; Ursula is resentful at being banished by King Triton; and Cruela de Vil has a penchant for Dalmatian puppy fur--Maleficent is just evil for the sake of being evil. She puts a curse on a baby, Princess Aurora, who then has to be kept from her parents for sixteen years and out of reach from any spinning wheels. Then she locks up Prince Phillip, the only person who can wake Aurora from her endless sleep, and there's a whole scene where she mocks him and the power of "true love". Plus it's inferred at the beginning of the movie by Flora that Malficent's powers are "far to great" for the Good Fairies to simply undo her curse. She's a nasty, hateful bitch with immense power.
It's no wonder she's always the lead villain in any of the Disney video games. You've got to admire that kind of ruthless consistency.
