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!

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...

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...

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...
