Favorite Movie Friday: Role Models

So here is a weird pick for my favorite movie... I feel like this one makes sense though. This was actually the first R rated comedy that I saw by myself without sneaking in and without sneaking my friends in... plus it was maybe the funniest R rated comedy I had seen at the time. I don't exactly know why I found it so funny to be honest- but I do still like it today and it's still good.

This movie- however- would not be made in 2018. There are tons of jokes that are like incredibly inappropriate and a little bit cringe worthy. A large plot point is Sean William Scott teaching a 10 year old kid to be his wing man... and how to pick up chicks and look at boobs... and that is weird. The kid is really funny because he's very sarcastic and he curses a whole lot and he's a cute kid os it's especially funny... but like I said... cringy.

I feel like I didn't explain the plot of this movie a lot either... cause it's a bit of a weird one. Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott work for this energy drink company called Minotaur and they go to different schools and tell kids not to do drugs but to drink Minotaur instead... and there's a lot of funny moments with that. The Minotaur isn't exactly good for you and they aren't exactly anti-drug. Paul Rudd gets angry and has a fight with his girlfriend and then he drives the truck into a statue- so they need to do a "big brothers big sisters" type of program to get out of going to jail. Paul Rudd's character is placed with a nerdy kid that does role playing games and Sean William Scott's character is with the kid that curses that I mentioned before.

The best thing about the plot of the movie is that there are kind of a lot of fun subplots- which result in an epic role playing battle where the 2 "Bigs" aka Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott dress up as Kiss with their two "littles" aka the kids and they were watching... so that was pretty cool... and it just seems like it has all of these parts that are so very different from the beginning of the movie... and I just liked that! I think that made it a little more exciting and kind of fun!

So that is everything! I think this is a great movie despite not being great by today's standards and not really standing the test of time... I still think it's just as funny... and that's a weird pick for a movie favorite... but not bad! I'm happy I liked this so much because it's still one that I'll watch and enjoy again.

That is everything for this Favorite Movie Friday! My next movie will be Forgetting Sarah Marshall... which I'm excited about!

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...

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...

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...
