Throwback Thursday: Up!

Up is one of my favorite movies of all time... or is just the first few minutes of Up my favorite movie ever? Hard to tell!

I have to say... I don't like the whole movie as much as I like the sad montage at the beginning of the movie. I didn't pay that much attention to it when I just recently watched it because I was also cleaning my room... so I didn't totally take in all the beautiful animation of it... but I was pretty much fully watching it and I feel like there's such a weird shift in the movie that I'm not sure fits that well together... it's just very odd.

It's action-y and adventure-y... but when they get to Paradise Falls... everything gets kind of weird. And it isn't that I don't like it it's just kind of... not really my thing. I like Kevin- she's really pretty. I love Dug and think all the talking dogs are really funny... but it's just really strange compared to the beginning of the movie- which is very cute but ordinary... and I guess that's kind of the point of showing this crazy and fun adventure after the very ordinary opening montage of the movie. I'm not sure I would like this if this was any other storyteller than Pixar... but Pixar just does it right with it's characters and it's animation... that it is still one of my favorite movies ever.

The part that really gets me is after Ellie finds out that she cannot have children and they show her outside.
It's just very, very beautiful and heartbreaking... and the way that they animated this was just very beautiful and it said a lot without actually saying any words.

And that's another thing that sort of always gets me about this movie... Ellie is only in the beginning of the movie... but it seems like she's in the whole movie... I didn't really realize that adult Ellie didn't even have any lines in the movie... it's just a little silent movie at the beginning and they just did such a wonderful job with it.

Pixar does a great job with silent movies really... Wall E and this beginning montage... they're just perfect. Wall E came out before this movie... and this was just kind of a good continuation of that.

I also know this was the 10th Pixar movie too and that was a big deal! And it was just really beautiful. So pretty to see all the balloons and the sky... it's just one that maybe isn't my favorite story overall for a Pixar movie... but I'm always going to appreciate all these little things about it and incredible details!

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
