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!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
