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!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

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...
