Scribbles About Movies: Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 2 (spoilers)

I think one of the movies I was most excited to see in my journey to see as many Marvel Movies as I can was Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 2. I had seen the first one in theaters and I really wanted to see this one but just didn't have the time... so I was just looking for a fun... slightly lighter Marvel Movie... and I kind of got that but the end upset me.

So I feel like Yondu really shines in this movie and they were really building him up to be one of the Guardians of The Galaxy... and then Spoilers... They kill him. Which made me really sad because Yondu was so funny and I felt like he helped connect the characters. He raised Peter, so obviously he had some connection there... plus throughout the movie he had a kinship with Rocket... and that was kind of nice to see too. Plus he definitely had the coolest weapon of any movie... it was basically a laser arrow that did, in fact, make him look like a very cool Mary Poppins.

I thought this movie was even a little funnier than the first movie... for like half the movie I thought it was pretty much nonstop laughs... Drax is just so literal and bad with interactions of any kind. Rocket Racoon and Yondu were just really great. Of corse Groot was really adorable.

Fun fact: Rumor has it a class was assigned to do a Resume as any Marvel Character... someone chose Groot of corse. 

I don't know if I felt as strongly about this soundtrack as I did about Volume 1's soundtrack... I did really like it. I love the song The Chain by Fleetwood Mac that they played during a dramatic scene... I like that Rocket and everyone else kind of needs the music now too... I thought that was a nice little detail.

The action scenes were all good too... and the characters are pretty deep and there are lots of connections and backstories... This movie was also a major part of setting up Infinity War- you could tell from their mentions of Thanos and Gamora and her sister's anger towards him... it was a good way to set it up from what I understand without having seen Infinity War... So I guess I'm not really sure but I think it's pretty good.

I feel like that is really everything that I want to say about this movie... I didn't think the plot itself was all that strong- but all the little details about the movie made it so great and I thought it all worked pretty well... so I liked the movie a lot as a whole... and I think if you're not super into comic book movies... Guardians of The Galaxy is pretty great. I would say it's on par with Star Wars, but a lot funnier.

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
