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!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
