Shannon Goes Viral: Inside out- Outside Edition

So a video a film student made of the movie Inside out surfaced because it was an edited version that didn't show the parts with the emotions, it only showed the parts with Riley and her family... so that is kind of cool.

I was expecting to really love this edition and to cry a lot from it because the parts with Riley and her parents were really what moved me while watching the movie and thats what I connected with, thats what made me cry. I didn't cry at the part with Bing Bong because that was a little obvious to me... but the part where Riley finally told her parents how she was feeling really made me cry. And then they hugged her and that's what really I thought was the heartwarming part of the movie that made me cry harder than any other movie...

Oddly enough, while watching this version, I didn't cry. I wasn't that emotionally connected to it either... and frankly... I was a little bit bored. I feel like the parts where we see her emotions and we know why she's acting makes those scenes stand out a little better and just overall makes them sooo much better in general. I feel like it makes the movie to be honest. Not that it was bad without that at all... but it was so much more fun to watch to see what was going on in her head and it made me understand it a little better.

What I loved about Inside Out was that this way of seeing the emotions as actual people controlling your brain made a lot of sense. It just really worked for me, I believed that that was how it happened. Everything that was going on with Riley was familiar to me because I feel like I've been through it before. Everything that was going on in her head was familiar to me, but I haven't actually seen the people controlling me so I don't really know what they're like... lol. Cause clearly there are people controlling you.

And I just got that thats what happens to everyone at points in their lives, it wasn't just for Riley... but Riley's parents had it and they've learned from it. Everyone's emotions go crazy at some points and sometimes they get more control.

So... yeah. I'm not saying the film student did a bad job... but it kind of took away from what made this movie what it is and I didn't connect to the scenes that I connected to in the movie the same way because of the very literal lack of emotion!

Hope you guys liked this! Check out the video if it hasn't been taken down and if you've seen inside out... and Have a great day!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
