Throwback Thursday- Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping

Ughhhh I keep teasing the Throwback Thursdays for AHS... and they're coming... but I was going to finish watching the first season this morning... and I had a nightmare about American Horror Story... it kind of combined Tate with Kai... and it was good because Evan Peters was in it... but it was scary still... so it wasn't exactly the first thing I wanted to watch.

But anyway in an attempt to watch movies more often... I saw this on demand and I was like "You know, I've never seen this movie." So I watched it and I really really liked it. It was so funny... I wish I had watched it sooner... it was great.

So it's kind of based off The Lonely Island sketches and it's also pretty much a parody of Justin Bieber's movie and his career lows... Andy Samberg plays Connor4Real who was in a band with 2 of his best friends that he grew up with... I think they called that band "The Style Boyz" or something and they had some hits but then they broke up and Connor started a solo band with one of the members who did the mixing and djing of the group and the lyricist got angry at Connor and just lived on a farm.

ConnorForReal had a few hits on his first album... but no one has told him when he's had a bad song or did something bad since then... and he wasn't really making the best career moves... so yeah. He releases his new album on appliances and it messes everyone's appliances in their house and starts playing these terrible songs... so it's just kind of a big fail and it's really funny. People aren't liking his songs on tour... he gets an opening act that ends up overshadowing him and he gets jealous... and it all just ends up blowing up in his face... and the tour gets cancelled... he gets dumped... and everything bad happens... and he has to get himself back on track.

I think my favorite part of the movie was the fake TMZ-type news show that they had... they keep showing these TMZ people and it feels very much like TMZ but also super exaggerated and then at the end they're just all kind of sad and drinking all this caffeine and gossiping about celebrites and it was funny. Will Arnett was really great in that, Chelsea Peretti was also in there.

Joan Cusack was in this movie as Connor's mom... and that was sooo funny. I love Joan Cusack especially when she isn't just playing a normal mom... Connor's mom was a big partier and liked to tour with him... and she was just really funny. It was sooo soo funny to see her more like her character in The Addam's Family. I liked that a lot.

They also comment on the Justin Bieber Anne Frank House visit... which was probably my favorite moment in the movie. It's just such a ridiculous thing that that visit actually happened... and it was a funny parody. If they didn't parody that part... it wouldn't have been a real parody lol.

So yeah... they took every shot that they could in this movie... and if you're a fan of parodies, if you're a fan of music and if you're a fan of the "behind the music" types of things... you will probably love this movie... I loved it- It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. It was stupid but just really good and really funny. If you like this I would recommend "What We Do In The Shadows." That is one of the funniest movies of all time and it is also a fake documentary about Vampires. It's pretty great!

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...
