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!!!

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

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
