Woman Crush Wednesday- Elizabeth Banks

Okay... so I really want to make this post today since I'm trying to post daily... but it is 11:26 pm now so this may technically be on Thursday... I'm going to try real hard here!

Out of thinking of my first woman crush it has to be Elizabeth Banks. I just always thought that she was so pretty and she's really funny in movie and seems like the type of ballsy chick to play really goofy silly roles, but she's still a good enough actress to play in serious roles too. I think she's better suited for comedies than dramas, but she is certainly a good enough actress for either and I'm gonna say it: She could possibly win an oscar some day... or she'd be really good on television too. I'm not sure.

I first noticed her in the movie Role Models I think. I just thought she did a really good job of being funny but she was also the "girlfriend that wants her boyfriend to grow up" role. Her character mentioned that she had a pretty face in the movie and could do better than Paul Rudd, but she stayed with Paul Rudd... and I think everyone in the audience was like "yeah she could" but also like "Elizabeth Banks is such a sweetheart I doubt she'd do that in real life." Which I think is true. I think she is one of the most beautiful women but she doesn't flaunt her beauty. She's a good and successful actress and I think she'd rather have people think of her as that than for her beauty or anything.

I also think she's super awesome because she produces a lot of great movies with her husband,  which is pretty cool. She was a producer on Pitch Perfect... she also acted in Pitch Perfect and I think she was really funny and great. The role was written for Kristin Wiig, but I think Elizabeth Banks put a different spin on the role than Kristin Wiig would have, which made the character hilarious and completely Elizabeth's own.

Another great character she played was Avery Jessup on 30 Rock. She was a great counterpart to Jack Dounaghey and I thought she was one of the show's best guest stars. She just played off the whole cast really well and I really thought her and Jack were a perfect match and I really liked that storyline. I also liked the fact that when Kim Jung Un died, fans actually connected enough with that character to make Avery Jessup a TT on twitter I think, idk there was a lot of buzz when that happened. And I follow her on twitter and think that she was really shocked by the reaction and kind of thought that was awesome too. And if I were her I would think that's pretty awesome too,

Basically Elizabeth Banks is extremely beautiful, talented and smart and I want to be like her when I grow up. I've always felt she's very underrated as a "funny girl" and I've always thought she was one of the greats up there with Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Kristin Wiig... yep I'm going that far. She's legit lol.

Byeeeeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
