Chart Chat 8.21.17

Onto the Chart Chat! I wanted to write this last night... but it was pretty late when I got home... so I just couldn't do it!

10) Wind River- Something tells me this movie is going to be complained about for being insensitive... maybe not though. It's about a murder investigation on a Native American reservation. It stars Jeremy Renner... who stars in every movie that's ever been released in August as far as I know... idk. I'm not the biggest fan of Jeremy Renner... I just idk. It does sound like the movie Witness with Harrison Ford... which is also a terrible movie if you ask me... lol. I know it got good reviews... but it was just kind of weird. Anyway yeah... number 10 on the charts- probably not a wide released movie... hopefully they were sensitive to other cultures in this. I'll check out reviews before watching it on TV.

9) The Dark Tower- This isn't off the charts yet, huh? This is one I'll maybe watch in a "Shannon watches things that annoyed her on Chart Chat" type of deal.

8) Girls Trip- This seems to be "The good time" movie of the summer. Everyone I see on facebook posts right after about how much they loved it. Amazing cast... anyone else super excited that Jada Pinkett Smith is in a lot of things now? I really liked her on Gotham... idk if she's still on that or not- but she was really good! I stopped watching it... I think I watched an episode last year though and she was on it... so I dunno... but she's good. And Queen Latifah is always good!

7) Spider Man: Homecoming- I've mentioned Spider Man is slowly becoming my favorite superhero... I think they're doing another animated show also and I think Zendaya is on that animated show also... if I'm not mistaken? Not sure- I watched Duck Tales on Disney XD and I saw a commercial for it.

6) The Emoji Movie- I feel like this is another movie parents don't really want to see or bring their kids to. I was a little surprised it was so low... but then I was like "ehhh, idk if I would want to take my kids to see that. Lol." It doesn't really look like a movie adults would like either... it isn't like Wreck it Ralph or something... idk. I want to see it still... but maybe it's not the best. Lol.

5) The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature- This movie again... idk if I'd really want to take my kids to see it... and it definitely doesn't look like anything that adults would like... the previews for this looked better than the first... but what a weird movie.

4) Dunkirk- I still want to see this because my grandfather would have loved it... I'm happy it's still doing well... I probably won't get to see it... but it's good.

3) Logan Lucky- I thought they were re-releasing Logan... but no lol. Idk what this is... but apparently it's the second best movie that opened this weekend... or at least the 2nd most popular. No idea what this is about... I'll find out next week cause I don't feel like looking it up right now. Lol.

2) Annabelle: Creation- Surprised this isn't number 1 again this week... but I didn't know what the #1 movie is about anyway... so I'm not very up to date on these movies I guess. I'm scared of this... but I want to see it. It looks good.

1) The Hitman's Bodyguard- Idk what this is about either... I think I remember seeing commercials for it... I will look it up next week because I just don't feel like it right now... lol. I'm sure it's good... it sounds exciting. It's something I'd see.


PSA- Eclipse starts in 44 minutes on the East Coast at the time I'm posting this! Be careful- avoid outside if you can- do not look directly at it if you do not have the right type of glasses to go with it. Have fun and be safe. I wanted to vlog it... but it can damage your phone too... so I'll vlog my reaction and stuff.

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...
