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 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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
