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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
