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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

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...
