Throwback Thursday: Star Wars Return of The Jedi

This one is a little bit different because the other 2 Star Wars Throwback Thursdays I hadn't seen any of them since December... this one I actually kind of forgot some details a bit... and it was on TV so I watched a bit of the beginning...

I have to say... this one I feel like doesn't totally work on it's own. From the little bit I watched of it I was like "This is weird." So I think the original Star Wars Movies are now stronger as a trilogy than watching them too far apart. I would say maybe the first 2 you can watch kind of stand alone... but this one works better if you watch it along with the other 2. The beginning is just VERY Sci- Fi-ish... so you really have to be in the mood for Star Wars when you see it. It's a little bit cheesy and technology wise... it didn't quite age well in the context of the other 2 in my opinion... and while I thought this had the best beginning when I watched it as a trilogy... from that little bit that I saw I was like "What? I understand why people don't like Star Wars now... this is weird." And I think maybe Empire Strikes Back would be the best beginning for a casual viewer.

That being said... I still think this is my favorite movie of the bunch. I like that Leia saves Han, I like that Leia becomes queen of the Ewoks... I like that we find out Leia and Luke are brother and sister. Jabba the Hut and Bobba Fett are in this movie and that's pretty cool. There was just a lot of good stuff that happened in this movie and it's exciting.

And the ending... it ends really well for a trilogy. Everything is wrapped up nicely... the good guys win- the bad guys loose... it would have been good if they had just ended it there... I'm happy that they continued with TFA... but idk. After thinking about it now you can't go back now and have this be the ending again... Like as much as I liked Harry Potter and the Cursed Child... that is now the ending of Harry Potter... and that isn't as good of an end as The Deathly Hallows... so it might end up being the same with Star Wars after it's all said and done... idk.

So...yeah! Hopefully this was somewhat helpful? I didn't talk much about the actual movie but weirdly enough... I remember this one the least at the moment... so maybe next Star Wars Day I'll have a better Throwback Thursday of this. Lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
