Scribbles about Movies: Movies that I will always watch on TV

First off: Sorry I haven't been here the past couple days. I've had ideas to post and stuff but I just haven't really felt like sitting down and actually writing these things. Don't worry, I have plans and I'll get a lot of good posts out soon. Right now I'm just going to do a little random favorite movies type of thing. I've seen a lot of movies a bunch of times, but there are some that I will put on pretty much anytime they are on tv and I don't get tired of them. Most of these are typical girly movies or cartoons... but those I tend not to get tired of very easily.

1) My Big Fat Greek Wedding- I've most likely seen this movie more than any other movie ever. And it still makes me laugh so hard! Maybe its because I'm greek... but a lot of my non-greek friends love this movie too, so it is totally funny and awesome for a lot of people. Nia Vardalos is also my hero and we're basically bffs now. Lol she's one of the best people to follow on Twitter, and she retweeted a picture of me with a personalized copy of her book Instant Mom... which I started reading pretty much right away and I love it. She is truly an inspiration and a great person and I just love her and all that she stands for. 

Side note: If you want a personalized copy of her book Instant Mom you can get it for $25! Check out her facebook or twitter page for more details, but all the proceeds go to adoption charities and its a good cause. And its not just about the adoption process, she talks about her improv background and meeting Tom Hanks as well. She's just hilarious and you will love it. 

2) The Princess Diaries- This is hardly ever on TV anymore... but it is another one of my favorites that I've seen probably a hundred times. And again, I love the book series on this too, which is wayyy wayyy better. But the movie is still completely hilarious. My friend is a camp councilor and she rewatched it with her class recently and she forgot just how funny it was. Again quite amazing. 

3) Despicable Me 1&2- I've never actually seen DM2 on tv... but it should be included because these are my favorite movies ever. The Minions are just so cute and they will never not be funny to me. Plus Gru and the girls and Dr. Nafario and Lucy... its just all good. Love this! Also a lot of my favorite people are in the first movie. Steve Carell, Kristin Wiig, Jemaine Clement, Jack Macbrayer, Will Arnett, Russel Brand!!!! Julie Andrews????? Does it get better than that cast? No. It never will. 

4) Mean Girls- This movie I've watched sooo soo many times. And I love it. It was written by a small writer named Tina Fey who is completely brilliant and amazing. Amy Poehler is also in this movie and she is also amazing. Everyone in this movie is just brilliant in it and I love this movie! Sooo good and I've seen it many times and pretty much everyone my age quotes it frequently... if not every day of our lives. Its just amazing. 

5) Monsters Inc- Another complete favorite of mine. Best Pixar movie. I just saw a post on facebook of Boo that said "Light up the world with your laughter." And I love that! It's such a good cute movie. Very creative and different. I love Sulley and Mike and Boo. All amazing. 

6) Pitch Perfect- For about a month I couldn't get to sleep if I didn't watch this movie. That's a good thing actually. I can only go to sleep while watching TV if its something really good and familiar. Friends, this, occasionally HIMYM, At Midnight, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It has to be quality entertainment for me to fall asleep watching and this is exactly that. I feel like its very similar to Mean Girls. I love it. And I love Anna Kenderick. 

7) Bridesmaids- I lovvveeee this movie. Its so sooo good! Just non stop funny. I feel like there is something else I notice every time. Its amazing. Love it. John Hamm is hot. So is the cop in the movie. So is Kristin Wiig really. Just all so so great! 

8) Christmas Vacation- I love this movie. Its something I have to watch every Christmas. I love Chevy Chase too. I think he's just so funny, even though I know from Community he isn't easy to work with... he's fucking Chevy Chase. He's awesome. So funny. On Nov. 30th ABC Family is playing Despicable Me and then this... so pumped! 

9) Elf- Another one of the best movies. I feel like this gets funnier the more I watch it. Plus the end is heartwarming and its just a nice movie. Definite fave. This is one I watch not just at christmas also. 

10) Addams Family Values- This has slowly become one of my all time favorites. I wish they played this all year round because... it is just so so good. I like The Addams Family... but this sequel is the best! Arguably the best sequel ever made. I just love it. 

So yeah there is my little list of favorite movies that I can watch over and over again. I also pretty much always watch The Harry Potter movies whenever they're on. So good! 

Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
