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!

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...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
