Scribbles About TV: A Series Of Unfortunate Events Review

I really liked this show! I liked it so much that I actually went back and watched it again! And it was still really good!

I liked the series... I didn't mind the movie that was made... but it was a little disappointing because it was just a lot to put into one movie... 3 books in 1 movie is kinda rushed feeling... but it makes sense as a Series... literally it is A Series of Unfortunate Events, it just works as a SERIES! Not so much a movie.

I loved the first episode because I'm a big fan of the Addams Family movies and Barry Sonnefield directed those and he directed the first 2 episodes... I think he directed more than that too. I just think he's really good with dark humor and this whole series is ALL about dark humor... and I love that. I thought that The Bad Beginning and The Reptile Room were really funny episodes. The Wide Window Part 2 was a little funnier... The Miserable Mill I was a little disappointed in Sir to be honest... I mentioned that in another post... I was most excited to see him because the book described him in a really cool way and he was one of my favorite characters because he was a mean guy but he wasn't the main bad guy... it was just kind of cool. And I thought they would make his appearance more similar to what it looked like in the book... and it just wasn't the same. I don't really remember Charles or anything... but I liked that book a lot and the episode just wasn't everything I was hoping for.

Neil Patrick Harris... totally perfect in this!!!! I think he's so funny and he's a really good actor playing a really bad actor. And he's the perfect amount of wicked and funny... and I like that he's kind of stupid and drunk too... you almost feel bad for him... but he's so evil and cruel that you just can't. He's just such a bad guy... but still so funny! I just thought NPH did a great job.

I liked the Lemony Snicket as a character too. I think that's something that the movie did very right and I liked that he was even more of a character in this with a backstory and connections to the Baudelaire's. I just thought that was a really clever... I didn't read all the books, I just read what the series was up to... but I didn't get that connection from the books. So that was pretty cool.

I like the "To Beatrice" at the beginning... that was always something I looked for in the books and it was exciting to see a little bit of a backstory on that... and it was just really cool. I liked how they did that.

I also liked the Mother and Father story... it was an unexpected side story that was really exciting to watch and added a lot to the show. I really liked it.

So yeah. Definitely check this out. My favorite line was "Yessica Haircut" Lol. I just thought it was funny and well done. I enjoyed it a lot at my age... I think younger and older kids would love it. It's just the most exciting thing I've seen recently. Totally loving it!

Byeee!

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

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
