Chart Chat: 5.30.16

Hello and Happy Memorial Day everyone! Remember to take some time to remember what is important on this day... and not just the sales, cookouts, and movies.

5) Neighbors 2- I kind of want to see this movie. I didn't see the first Neighbors... but I wouldn't mind seeing it or this new one. These don't look like the funniest movies ever... but it looks funny and I like it. I like the looks of it at least lol. I'm good with Zach Effron. I can handle some Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen... all funny people... seems like a funny enough movie!

4) Captain America: Civil War- I've talked about this before... I want to get more into the Marvel things... but its going to take some time. Lol. I also don't really like Iron Man... but I like the Avengers... so idk! We'll see.

3) The Angry Birds Movie- This movie looks bad. I feel bad saying it because I know animated movies are hard work and a lot of good people are voices in this movie and I'm sure its a great kids movie... but it looks like one I would hope that my kids wouldn't want to see because it looks annoying... so yeah. Lol. I don't like dissing anyone... but yeah.

2) Alice Through The Looking Glass- I want to see this... I feel like I'd like it better if I just half-watch it on TV... lol. And clearly the movie doesn't need my support, its doing fine on its own... so thats probably what I'll do! I'm sure its okay. I just don't really want to see it right now. Lol.

Ohhh wow... maybe it does need my support as it only made $28 million and it cost $170 million to make... That's also a pretty weak opening for a sequel on memorial day! I had no idea until the news said "Box office flop! Find out what movie had trouble finding an audience and what movie was number 1 this weekend." Probably doesn't help much that Johnny Depp is involved in some scandals... and that I'm out of college and the first movie came out when I was a senior in high school... kinda lost an audience taking too long I think. And Tim Burton didn't direct this one, James Bobin from The Muppets (I believe) directed it... weird.

1) X Men: Apocalypse- I haven't seen any of the X Men Movies... and I wanted to a few years ago... but at a certain point... there is some overkill. Okay I guess I've seen one X Men movie... Deadpool! And that one I really liked. So including Deadpool there are 9 X Men Movies so far... that's a lot. And I don't think they're going anywhere between them and Deadpool. There's already a Deadpool 2 scheduled for 2017... so yeah. Apparently at the end of Apocalypse there is a clue to Deadpool 2... so that's kinda cool. That makes me want to see it now! Ugh! Lol.

Byeee! Hope you find this helpful if you're deciding to see one of these movies. Maybe you want to see something different, I kind of want to see Money Monster or the Nice Guys... but yeah. Or even Love and Friendship, that might be good.

This made 65 Million since I'm mentioning how much everything made. The Budget was 178 million... so it'll make that in its run... but Alice was under what it was expected to make... so yeah.

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
