Chart Chat: 11/30/15

Lets see what songs and movies people talked about at Thanksgiving Dinner and maybe saw this weekend.

Music 

5) Confident by Demi Lovato- This song is awesome. I was trying on bridesmaid dresses and then this song came on and I was like "Yassss" and my sister was like "I still like the other one better" lol. That story should be coming up soon. I feel a little old liking Demi Lovato... but she's awesome. I like her a lot now.

4) Hotline Bling by Drake- Not a fan. I've talked about this on chart chats before... but it just isn't something I'd download or listen to... ever. Lol. Drake has a different sort of vibe. He isn't really a rapper... but he isn't really a singer either. I like when they do the Adele mashups of this though. Adele even thinks its funny... so thats awesome.

3) Love Yourself by Justin Bieber- I haven't heard this song yet and don't really want to click on the sample right now cause I want to write this in a hurry... I don't hate the new Justin Bieber. I have to admit, I didn't love What Do You Mean at first... but I've gotten used to it. And I've heard he's actually a nice guy... so that makes me feel not embarrassed to like him either. I'm still a little embarrassed because a few years ago I hated everything he stood for... but now he seems okay. I think he's trying to calm down and he still seems like a brat to me... but idk. He seems good to his fans and kind of down to earth.

2) Sorry by Justin Bieber- Same deal. Haven't heard this one yet either... but I'm impressed with Justin Bieber's change. Lol. It took a while for me to like What Do You Mean. I put it in a terrible lyric analysis, I've talked about not liking it in Chart Chat's previously... now I'm okay with it.

1) Hello by Adele- This sounds different than other Adele songs... which is good. Adele is very talented... but she gets very overplayed, so its hard for me to actually like her. I worked retail during the peak of her career... we played her a lot. All her songs, some remixes, some Glee covers... it was a lot to handle. Not bad... but yeah. This one is good... but I'm already almost tired of it.

Movies 

5) The Peanut's Movie- I still need to see this movie! It's gotten okay reviews, but I'm a big peanuts fan and I think the animation looks awesome and I really like Paul Feig. I think it looks cute. Its never as good as the original... but its good. I love the message behind all the Peanut's holiday specials and I think its just nice that they're still relevant... and I can still sit down and watch them today and crack up laughing. It didn't come out in my generation, I'm sort of a grown up now... and its just still as entertaining to me as any regular TV show. Who's your favorite character besides Snoopy? Mine is definitely Sally. She's just so sassy. I love her. Lol.

4) Spectre- This is the first time I think I've ever kind of wanted to see all 5 of the top movies. I like James Bond, I need to see some of the older ones cause I saw one of the Sean Connory ones not long ago and it was good. Daniel Craig is hot, and a good actor and a good Bond. I hope he doesn't just entirely quit acting after Bond. I know he won't... but I think he's good and would like to see him in other roles too. Again, hot.

3) Creed- I had no interest in seeing this, but it is getting amazing reviews and even Oscar Buzz! I really hope Sly wins... mostly because I do a surprisingly good Sylvester Stallone impression for a 24 year old girl... and I think his acceptance speech would be amazing. Michael B. Jordan is also in this. He was Wallace on The Wire aka the SADDEST TV death ever! But yeah. This doesn't look bad at all, and apparently it isn't.

2) The Good Dinosaur- So this movie looks really cute. I love Pixar movies, I'm probably going to see it sometime this week. I thought this would be #1 because its such a good time for a fun family movie... but I guess these are all almost family friendly movies... lol nothing rated R. This looked like it was more for kids than for grown ups... but it still looked good and I still have to see it. It's Pixar!

1) The Hunger Games Mockingjay pt. 2- I love The Hunger Games books. I just saw Mockingjay part 1 and I liked that... I'll honestly probably wait till this is out on DVD to see it... just cause I get a little freaked out at popular movies. And Mockingjay was my least favorite book. Catching Fire is probably my favorite. I liked the way it ended and everything... I just like when they're in the games.

So that is everything! Hope you guys like it!

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...

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...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
