Scribbles About TV: Black Mirror S4 EP 3 Crocodile

Okay... so this is the episode I had heard about being very dark and scary... and I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the right headspace to watch it... but I just did not like the episode that much!

So the episode starts out with a couple partying, they seem drunk... then the guy driving hits someone and instead of calling the cops- which the girl wanted to do at first... he dumps the body into the river and drives away.

Years later- this woman, Mia, is married to someone else and she's a successful architect and public speaker... she has a family and she's moved on past this situation... or so we think. The man confronts her saying he'd like to go to the cops about it... and she ends up killing him.

This happens at the same time as an accident that is being investigated by an insurance company... and the insurance company actually has a device that can see your memories to see how things happened... and they end up investigating Mia about what happened and they end up finding out that she killed someone... and it is irrelevant to the insurance agent's investigation... she cries, leaves and says she doesn't need anything else from Mia... but then Mia takes matters into her own hands and kidnaps the insurance agent... even going so far as to use the memory device to see if the insurance agent has a family waiting for her... and Mia goes after her family as well.

It is a brutal episode that is hard to watch... but at the same time... it's a little predictable. I didn't quite think she'd go as far as she did end up going...and it was a nice, tight story the way that Arkangel was... but I don't know... it just was not my favorite episode... it might have been my least favorite one so far... and I don't think it's because of the intense violence... I just think this one didn't really go where I was expecting it to go. The world didn't feel all that different in this one the way that it did with Arkangel or with the next episode, Hang The DJ- which I'll review next week... It just didn't totally grab me the way other episodes did... so for that I'm going to give it 3 out of 5 stars... It may have just been my mindset at the time... maybe I just didn't really want to watch anything... but I just didn't love it!

So... that's everything! Sorry this is kind of a mehhhh review and recap!

Byeee!

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...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...
