Shannon Reviews: Muppets Most Wanted

I absolutely love the muppets and I was soooo excited for this movie. It has my two favorite female actresses, Tina Fey and Miss Piggy and sooo many more funny people in it and the muppets are amazing and it just looked overall like a really great fun movie.

And it was a really great and fun movie. The music was amazing, I'm a big fan of Flight of The Conchords, so of corse I was very excited that Brett McKenzie did the music for this and the other recent muppet movie. I think he did a fantastic job of making it slightly whimsical and funny. I thought that all the non muppet cast members did an amazing job singing as well. Josh Groban and Jemaine Clement were the only two professional singers that I think were in the movie, but the whole cast did a great job. Ricky Gervais was really fantastic in my opinion. I'm not totally sure that they all did their own singing come to think of it... But if they did they did a great job!

And I was a little sad that Jason Segal and Amy Adams weren't in this one. I know Jason loves the muppets a lot and I was so proud of him for writing the last muppet movie. I think he did amazing, but I really love the cast of this movie also. Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell are probably 3 of the funniest people and with the muppets they were totally amazing.

I liked that there was a "bad" Kermit in the movie too. I've been a fan of the muppets my entire life basically (as anyone with good parents should be lol) and Kermit is the nicest frog you will ever meet! Seeing an evil Kermit just sort of added something fun.

And I saw this movie with my mom. We probably enjoyed the movie more than any kid in the audience. You really are never too old for a muppet movie and I will always be a fan of the muppets. They are just as funny for grown ups as they are for kids. I think that the last one may have been a bit funnier, but this is still a fantastic movie.

I think it's great that they actually do use grown- up comedy writers to work on these movies. I think that gives it the sort of feeling that muppets are for everyone. They don't have any non- kid friendly jokes in the movie at all, but with all the songs in this movie and everything, it's not unlike watching an episode of Flight of The Conchords. It's just really funny. And if you work for Disney or The Muppets or something and you're looking to make another movie with a young comedy writer who is perhaps just a girl with a blog named Shannon... Let me know! I'd love to write a muppet movie, as I mentioned I am a lifelong fan and I think I can write something amazing.

Byeee!!!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
