Scribbles About Movies: Cars 3 Teaser Reaction+ Thoughts

So I wasn't really planning on doing this... but EVERYONE is talking about the new teaser for Cars 3... and I needed to do this after watching the teaser.

Slight warning: This teaser involves a Car Wreck where the car spins around and looks pretty bad. If you have children... maybe wait until the official trailer comes out, I was a sensitive kid, this would have made me cry. Also if you are an adult that has been in a car accident... this could be kind of triggering. People get PTSD after being in bad car wrecks... this could easily trigger something in a lot of adults too... it is a little hard to watch. Cars are scary. I'm guessing they are showing this before Moana and maybe Rouge One... Just be careful if you are going to see any movies in the near future. If you see animated cars, it might be a good time to look away or leave the theater for about a minute.

So yes... this starts out normal. All the cars are racing, it looks like its rainy out, Lightening McQueen takes the lead and then he flips and starts spinning. You can hear labored breathing from him, so I think he's okay and he's still breathing. But then text reads "From This Moment Everything Changes." And then it says "Summer 2017" and that the film is not yet rated.

Okay... so if you thought the Sausage Party trailer was bad before a Pixar Movie... this might be worse... but there are some things to realize.

1) I'm sure Lightening McQueen is fine! As I said there is labored breathing... so you can hear that he is still breathing and that I think means he is okay.

2) Pixar often does not use the moments from the teasers in the movies themselves. I'm sure this definitely sets the tone of the movie... but it might not actually be in the movie itself. The movie might take place after McQueen gets in a wreck.

3) This is dark for a Cars movie and pretty Dark for a teaser... but it seems about the same level of darkness that most Pixar movies do have, so I can't imagine it being too different from the Pixar movies we know and love. It will probably have a similar message as the other movies. I kind of think Cars was missing that quality and while I think that is a good thing for kids... it also makes sense to include something in here.

I personally think it might be a Cars movie for Adults. As someone who loves Pixar... I've only ever seen the end of Cars 2 and I've seen the first one only a few times. I love John Lassater and I think he really is an artist and that Cars Land in Disneyland California Adventure totally proves it! I think this will make me appreciate cars a little better... I don't think it will be too much darker from the average cars movies... but the teaser is certainly pretty dark! I can't wait to see the official trailer!

Byeee!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
