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!

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
