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.

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...

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...
