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 they're all connected. I don't pay close attention to my Pixar movies for that... I don't really think Boo is the witch from Brave... but I think its legit.

Anyway back to the movie... its a lot darker than most of the Pixar movies. Not necessarily the saddest... but I would say this, Brave, and maybe The Good Dinosaur are a bit scary for kids. And Wall E too maybe... Idk. This one talks about cheating on your spouse and there's even mention of suicide in it and several deaths... its scary for kids. I don't think its necessarily as scary and if you watch it at home its fine... it might have been a bit more scary in theaters... so that is sort of a moo point as Joey Tribiani would say.

This movie didn't really hold my attention the way most Pixar movies do. I think this is still one I could watch over and over and over again... but I probably wouldn't like it as much that way. I think my favorite Pixar movie to watch over and over again is Ratatouille. It isn't my favorite Pixar movie... but I always get happy when thats on. Finding Nemo too. And of corse my favorite is Monster's Inc. It doesn't make this a bad movie at all... its just somewhere in the middle... which for Pixar is still pretty good.

I love the Family, I think its nice how Pixar shows families. They stick together and make each other stronger and that's cute. Its cool... and also disturbing when ElasticGirl becomes a boat or a parachute... its cool... but weird.

Frozone is great too... and Syndrome is one of the worst villains ever! And by that I mean one of the best. You can see where he would have redeemable qualities... but he's just a bad guy.

And there are some fun easter eggs...

Does this guy look familiar to anyone? 


Yep! Modeled after Pixar's own... Steve Jobs! I'm assuming! And it looks like there's an iPad that Syndrome sends to Bob. And it took me a second to be like "WOW! That's so cool! iPads weren't even invented yet!" But I think they had the inside scoop...

So overall... not my favorite, but it was cool and really fun to watch again. Edna Mode is probably one of the best characters I didn't even get to talk about much... but she's awesome. This movie was very cool and different from the other Pixar movies... but still just as fun. It isn't my favorite, but I like it and I'm excited for the sequel!

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...
