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!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
