Favorite Movie Friday: Monster's Inc

Okay... so I was going to watch Monster's Inc very carefully last night and give it a re-review... that didn't really end up happening. I just kind of casually watched it... so yeah.

I just realized... I was really looking forward to watching the Bloopers and the Company Play at the end of the movie... I'm not sure if they didn't include that or if I turned it off early... but I LOVE that part! I really liked when Pixar used to have bloopers- I know that they've kind of gotten more serious tones to their movies since Monster's Inc and it wouldn't really make sense to have bloopers after Finding Nemo or Up or anything. I would like to see some during The Incredibles or Cars though! I think that would have made sense!

And I saw this movie 3 times in theaters- 2 times in regular theaters and one when my sister was at Fordham and they showed a movie for Sibling's Weekend. The first 2 times I saw it they didn't have the bloopers but they had it when I saw it at Fordham and it was so funny. And my sister was telling me how funny the bloopers and the Company Play were before I saw the movie and I was really excited for it. So that was just a fun little extra thing that they did.

One thing I kind of appreciated a little bit more this time watching it... some of Mike's dry humor. He just has a lot of funny one liners that I always hear... but they aren't really LOL funny they're just a little bit of a dry humor... and I thought it was particularly funny this time around. I liked when Randall asks "What happens when that bell rings?"Mike answers "I get a time out?" And it's just really funny. And little conversations between him and Randall... really good and funny and I guess a little bit of an element is added to it knowing that Randall was Mike's college roommate. I just liked their dynamic together.

Another favorite part of mine has always been where Mike and Sully go through the different doors. I just kind of liked that. I remember seeing it for the first time in theaters and I thought it was pretty cool and it gave you a view of some places you maybe wouldn't see otherwise... plus it kind of made it more educational and worldly. I just like that they added that in there.

And I always like the animation in this movie. It's really cool to see the different textures of the different monsters skin or scales. Everything looks very real in the movie and it's all just done very well. I like it a lot! I never get tired of seeing this animation.

So is this still my favorite movie? Kind of. This has the biggest place in my heart because it is my first favorite movie and I think this is the one that really stands the test of time and will continue to be my favorite no matter what.

Hope you guys like this!
Bye!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
