Scribbles About Movies: A Dog's Purpose Review

I know I've been saying that I wanted to see this movie when it was on TV because I didn't quite know about the abuse claims and it looked like a show better to watch on TV than in the theaters... My friends wanted to see the movie and the Humane Society did investigate the movie and all was good. So I saw it in theaters.

It was a really great movie too! It stayed on the best storyline that was the main story the longest... and it spent a good enough time on the other lives and you could see how one of the dog's lives helped with understanding the next and it shaped him to become the dog he was at the end of the movie...

And you got to see a lot of, unfortunately, horrible things that happen both to dogs and to people from an incredibly innocent point of view. I don't want to spoil things but the dogs don't really get to choose their life... and it isn't always fun and there are a lot of bad parts. Dogs don't really have much control over what happens unfortunately. And that's why they need lots of love and to be treated well.

And really all the dogs changed their humans lives for the better. It gave Ethan a friend when he was going through the worst times of his life and he helped him remember and rediscover the best parts of his life. I don't want to give anything away... but Ethan had a rough life and Baileybaileybailey really helped him through a lot.

I do have to say though... this was a very emotionally draining movie. It is a beautiful story and the movie did a beautiful job telling it... but I was crying for most of the movie... it was a very touching movie... but man... I could not stop crying after a while because of all the dogs. I was even almost crying writing this post! Thinking about it makes me want to cry... it's very very sweet. I didn't think I would cry... I sobbed at the commercials for the movie, but I just kind of thought that I would have been a little more over it because I was exposed to it a little bit more... but I was not ready for it! Definitely not ready at all!

I loved the movie... but man... it was a tough one to watch! I would recommend checking it out... I'm probably going to look at the book next time I'm at Target also.

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
