So this isn't really a scribble about movies or anything like that... but there are some holiday movies that I've been watching, some new holiday specials and even a podcast or 2 that I've really been liking so I thought I'd include that here too... just cause!
First off: Night At The Museum. I liked this movie when I first saw it, but I didn't think it was anything worth watching a bunch of times or anything like that... but its been on FX a few times this week and I've really really been enjoying it! I think the cast is absolutely brilliant. I love that its fun to watch, but you do sort of learn something and I really enjoy the character arc of Ben Stiller's character Larry. I just think its such an interesting little series. I liked both of the movies, which doesn't happen that often. I'm really excited to see the third one now and... yeah. I want to go to the Natural History Museum now. I've been to the Smithsonian... which is odd cause I live closer to the Natural History museum but yeah.
I've also been watching some Christmas movies and there are 2 movies I've actually never seen before... that I still haven't watched really, but from what I've seen I definitely want to see the full movies. Home Alone I don't think I've seen since I was a little kid... and I feel like I don't love these movies because I think everyone is so mean to Kevin. And then his parents completely forget him! How can they do such a thing! I think its so mean and I feel a bit uncomfortable watching it, but its still good and funny at the same time... so I'll probably watch the whole thing soon. Maculley Culkin is so stinkin adorable in this too. He was already crazy when I was a kid, so I never really knew him as this adorable lovable kid from Home Alone... but I guess he isn't crazy anymore. He dated Mila Kunis for a really long time, that can't be that crazy.
And I saw the first 5 minutes or so of Bill Murray's Scrooged... it was the funniest movie ever pretty much. I fell asleep because it was midnight and I was on Benadryl and had taken a final earlier in the day... but I absolutely love it! Will definitely need to see this whole thing.
Also there's the Bojack Horseman Christmas episode... I'm a huge fan of Bojack Horseman. Anything involving Will Arnett and Aaron Paul aka The Best Supporting Actors of all time... I'm on board for. Even if its just their voices lol. This was cute because we got to watch a Christmas Special of the show Horsin Around. It was very meta and cheesy and cute. It wasn't as sad as most Bojack episodes, it was just pretty cute and funny overall!
And then the podcasts I've been liking. I've been loving Comedy Bang Bang. They had a really funny holiday episode with a bunch of really funny people on it. One of the funniest was Lauren Lapkus who was Santa's Naughty Elf Ho Ho. I thought that was just really funny. And Lauren Lapkus also has her own podcast... which I don't think has a holiday episode but it might. Basically every week the guest is the host and Lauren Lapkus does different voices and characters that are the guests. Its called With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus and its funny. And Improv For Humans is a great podcast too. It's hosted by Matt Besser and it has different funny guests that improvise with him and they do really great stuff. Its interesting to hear without seeing also. I started listening to it as a way to kind of help with my Improv final... and I think it helped a little. The last two aren't holiday related... but I thought they were worth mentioning.
And since I'm talking about holiday stuff, the only holiday songs I really like are songs from cartoons. I like the Elf soundtrack, older songs and She and Him but there aren't many songs I like more than The Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer soundtrack and the Grinch songs... and things like that. I like the Elf the Musical soundtrack. Stuff like that. Dave Matthews has a HORRIBLE Christmas song in case anyone was wondering. I also don't like Frosted Windowpanes, Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag, and Frankie Valley and the Four Seas... especially their Christmas songs. Yeah. All kinda bad.
Ohhhh and a holiday movie I forgot! My favorite Christmas Carol... of course The Muppets Christmas Carol. I watched it last night... and Muppet's aside... this movie is amazing! How great is Michael Caine as Scrooge???? He's so mean! To Muppets! He is quite the serious actor and I think he did a great job as Scrooge. I think the acting of the Muppets was on point too. All so funny. Everyone did a great job. The music in it is absolutely amazing! I just really love this movie.
And if you want a Christmas Drink: Celestial Seasoning's Sugar Cookie. Its so good, you don't need a lot of sugar in it. Very flavorful and a little spicy. I really like it!
And Philosophy's Spiced Gingerbread Body Wash... so soo good!
Byee!
