Scribbles About Movies: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 Trailer Review

Alrighty! So I know I said I'd have the AHS re-watch today... But this is more important. A sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time, much overdue and I'm so excited I'm actually writing this from the back seat of a car! Lol.

So I couldn't hear the whole trailer all that well as I watched it in the back seat of a car and I don't think I saw the very end... But even without sound... This is the way to do a sequel. The whole cast is back, everyone is still alive and they look just as funny and great as in the original. I think if anyone had passed away or wasn't able to do the sequel for other commitments, they probably wouldn't have done it and I don't think they should have in that case honestly.

They also show that everyone is older. The daughter from the first movie is all grown up and Ian and Toula are trying to keep their marriage fresh and get a minute without the whole family... And that doesn't work out. It's funny there are some great laughs. I think it'll be fun to see the couple that we loved as parents now and see the daughter all grown up. It will be especially interesting now that Nia Vardalos is a parent herself. She still wrote the movie so Im sure that had influenced her a lot. Her writing is always so funny and great.

There were just a lot of laughs and this movie didn't need a sequel but I can tell it's going to be just as amazing as the original... And this is how you do a sequel. They aren't in it for the money or anything like that. I think it was still independently made with a small budget, although I'm sure they could have gone with a bigger budget. It's just a fun movie and I think the sequel will be just as fun!

And it will be out right before my sisters little greek wedding, so that should be good too!

Ohhh and Toula's parents are the ones getting married. Which I think is just so funny. Nice little twist!

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...
