Throwback Thursday: Tangled!

So this isn't much of a throwback... but I haven't seen it in a while... so Throwback Thursday!

This is one of my favorite movies... definitely from Disney possibly in my Top 30 movies I'd say... maybe a little higher than that.

I'm not sure why... but I feel like I'm not unlike Rapunzel. I used to always have long tangly hair, and now I cut it short... but also personality wise... idk why, I just connect with her more than any of the other princesses. She's smart and sassy, but still doesn't totally believe in herself, but she befriends and loves everyone she meets.... I feel like I'm like that. Maybe that's being to positive... but not really because of the whole "doesn't believe in herself thing." I dunno. Not trying to toot my own horn... but I'm Rapunzel. Lol.

And this is a really underrated movie too. I don't think it was even nominated for Best Animated Feature and it was brilliant. I love the music in it too. The scene on the river is absolutely gorgeous...and honestly, I like it wayyy more than Frozen. Frozen I'll be getting too soon... I've already watched it a second time and I'm going to watch it again tonight because its on ABC... but yeah. I'll have that maybe in the next few weeks about Frozen... cause I actually like it now.

Also every time I watch this, I keep hoping Mother Gothel will be less wicked... and each time, she's even more wicked than the last time. It's just that she only loves Rapunzel's Hair. When she says "I love you most" she's talking to Rapunzel's hair... Rapunzel really really loves her and she's just using Rapunzel for her hair... and won't even really let her talk. I think she's charmed by Rapunzel and I think she has some love for her... but overall she really is just using her for the hair. And that makes me sad.

She has an ambiguous demise too... not sure if she's dead or what really happened to her... which makes me wonder if there will maybe be a sequel? Probably not, they did Tangled Ever After and now they're doing an animated show... so probably not... but yeah.

And Mandy Moore. Not sure why, I love Mandy Moore though. She's an excellent singer, I love her acting... I've weirdly seen most things she's been in and loved them all. Zachary Levi is also in this ad Flynn Rider... So good! Also Brad Garret, Jeffrey Tambor and Paul F Tompkins have cameos in this movie... which is really cool! If you're into comedy... you probably recognize at least one of those names! Very talented voice actors too!

I didn't even get to Flynn Rider. I like how Flynn is sort of Aladdin, but he's a little bit less lovestruck with Rapunzel... its more of a gradual love. You can tell he thinks she's pretty at first, but he really gets to know and love her... whereas Aladdin just kind of lovestruck with Jasmine right away and he did fall further for her... it was still good. Aladdin is my favorite Disney Prince... but Flynn Rider is quite similar and a close second. Really love him in this movie.

And it's such a beautiful movie! The floating lanterns, Rapunzel's hair, the use of chiaroscuro... which is the shading of light and dark which this movie does A LOT of and its really beautiful and means something and it just adds a level of brilliance to this movie. It is sooo soo pretty and just well made.

So yeah... still love this movie. Always going to be a favorite... it's just a lot of fun!

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
