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 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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
