Scribbles About TV: Scream Queens Review

So one of the shows I was most excited about this fall season was Scream Queens. Its a really great horror movie satire that pokes fun at some shows like it and... its just an interesting show. Its created by Ryan Murphy from American Horror Story and Glee and it is sort of like a combo of the two. Its a lot bitchier than Glee, and its definitely a funny comedy... American Horror story is kind of a serious comedy depending on the season... There are definitely a lot of funny elements to most American Horror Story seasons, and for the most part they end pretty happily... so there is that too.

Alright so onto Scream Queens... it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be! Its really exciting and super funny and a very dark parody. I thought it was really just as brilliant as Scream... it was just awesome. There is a scene where the killer goes after someone... trying not to spoil to much... and he texts her asking if she wants to dance with the devil and then she texts him back and they keep going back and forth even though he's clearly trying to kill her and she should just call 911. And she tweets that she's going to die... its just really funny. It was like a modern even more ridiculous take on the beginning scene of Scream. It was really awesome. Really brilliant.

It was also a 2 hour premier with quite a high body count. Including two flashback scenes there are like... 6 and a half deaths I think. The half death isn't really a death at all... but its a good twist to the show. The deaths were all pretty scary and clever. Some were just stabbed to death, some were "accident" deaths and some were just people in the wrong place at the wrong time type of thing... It seemed to all be framing Emma Roberts character for it... unless she is actually the killer... or one of the killers. I think there may be more than one... and it would be obvious if it were her... but it kind of makes sense.

And its easy to look at and try to figure out the killer or killers because... everyone has a motive, everyone is suspicious and its just really intriguing. It's equally funny and scary which just kind of makes it more funny. Its really well done and I think its a Must Watch that is turning out to be one of my favorite shows.

So yeah. I've only seen like an episode or 2 of Pretty Little Liars... but this really reminds me of that show only its way better. It's not really a guilty pleasure because its self aware of what it is. I am excited to see more of it. I wonder what they'll do in further seasons. I don't see this going on for that many seasons... but at the same time I could see it having a time line similar to Breaking Bad where several seasons may be one year of college or something like that. I could see it being an anthology like AHS... but I think that would get boring pretty fast.

I was really impressed with this show. I an totally see it being amazing and I'm already super excited for tonight's episode!

Byeeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
