Chart Chat 8.15.16

Here's the Top 10 movies this week! I didn't want to do this every single week... but I'm kind of liking it... so let me know if you want me to keep this up or stop for something else. Most likely if the charts are too similar and nothing really interesting happens, I'll skip a week... but there was something I thought was kind of interesting this week. So yeah!

10) Light's Out- This is its 4th week on the charts and it's made 61.1 million dollars... not to bad! A lot of times horror movies are pretty low budget and do quite well in the box office... so while I thought this wasn't that good the last few weeks... it probably isn't really that bad. And horror movies never advertise a lot... so that's kind of cool. Yes the budget on this movie was $4,900,000 and it made $21,600,000 opening weekend... so that's not bad at all! Horror movie business seems like the business to be in! Lol.

9) 9 Lives- This movie looks terrible... but in a good way. Kevin Spacey is the cat. Totally watching this on TV. Maybe a good drinking game for adults just watching this because it looks bad would be any time they make a cat pun... but yeah. Its made 13.6 Million dollars so far... not great.

8) Florence Foster Jenkins- This movie looks amazing... but also sad. I'm said its so low at the box office this week! Only made 6.6 Million Dollars so far! The Budget was 29 Million... so that isn't great... It'll probably make a lot more money, I don't know if it was released everywhere yet... but yeah.

7) Star Trek Beyond- I've talked about this a lot in previous chart chats... so I'll spare you too many details on this one. It's the 4 weekend on the weekend chart and it hasn't quite made back all the money it cost yet... but it probably hasn't been overseas yet, and action movies always do well there... I'm surprised. Am I getting the movie industry wrong here? Lol.

6) The Secret Life of Pets-This is the 6th week in the top 10 chart for this movie... not bad. I've talked about this a lot too.

5) Bad Moms- I didn't even know this movie came out until I saw it on Chart Chat! It looks really funny... idk if I want to see it that much though.

4) Jason Bourne- I'm surprised this hasn't been doing that well. I know people seem to really like the Bourne movies and were excited Matt Damon was back... but I guess that its not as exciting as some of the more original movies out there... which are at the top 2... Or at least the first in a series like Suicide Squad. But yeah. Maybe people are tired of it. It seems like a specific crowd that likes the Bourne movie.

3) Pete's Dragon- Out of all the disney Live Action movies, this is the one I think I'm most excited for. I really like the original and I think Elliot the dragon in the cartoon is so cute... and I feel like he should still be a cartoon... but anyway... this is probably good and I'm a little surprised it isn't a BFG level hit.

2) Sausage Party- Shocked this is #2 to be honest... I didn't think this would be that big a hit at all! It looks funny but I don't think I want to see it in theaters. I don't know why, I'm not a big fan of the raunchy animated movies... but I'd probably watch this at home just cause it looks so funny and disturbing.

1) Suicide Squad- Again! I've heard good reviews and bad reviews on this... and I think its an "I'll watch it at home" type of movie. I don't really know if I want to see it in theaters because I don't like watching superhero movies in theaters all the time... people are crazy. I don't like seeing movies opening night anymore... and this is no exception really. So not that it'd be a bad movie... but its something I want to see at home. I'll even watch Batman v Superman at home. I've heard mostly bad things about that, but some good... enough good to maybe make me a little interested.And if I watch Suicide Squad... might as well watch Batman v Superman too.

Byeee!

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...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

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...
