Toy Story Tuesday: Toy Story 2

Alright! Hope you guys are liking Toy Story Tuesday so far! This is the movie I feel like I watch the least out of all 3 movies... but it's still pretty important to shaping what Pixar is known for and it's just a great movie that I feel like I overlook too often.

Okay so Toy Story 2... I'd say the funniest of the 3 Toy Story movies... this also seemed like the most adventurous of all the Toy Story Movies. I think the funny thing about these movies is that the Toys are on this HUGE adventure and in reality they are usually only a few minutes away from their home. I don't think Sunnyside was that far, Sid was just RIGHT next door to Andy and Al's Toy Barn isn't too far either... but with this one they also go to the airport and the stakes are pretty high because they're going to Japan.

So... the most memorable part of Toy Story 2... the part that will kind of stick with you no matter what is the part where you learn Jessie was abandoned by her kid "Emily"... and they play that sad song that Sarah McLaughlin sings... it's just such a sad scene that I think is the first time Pixar really "went there" with these incredibly emotional scenes. I think Finding Nemo was kind of the first full movie that really went there and had it as a super emotional movie... but this was definitely the first scene that could just ruin you.

So that's kind of funny that it's both the funniest movie and the movie that I think would make me the saddest out of the first 4 Pixar movies. I guess Monster's Inc is a little bit funnier... but this is still really funny and just a great movie in general.

This movie really kind of shows the "childhood innocence" of the whole series... which I'm going to kind of explain here... a lot of times something isn't the same in Andy's room. Woody won't be in the same place where Andy left him- but Andy won't notice. Andy has 2 new toys in his room that he just assumes are from his mom... but they aren't. Even Al has no idea what exactly happened to the toys that were supposed to be sent from Japan. It's all kind of innocent and obviously they aren't thinking "Ohhh the toys come to life and that's obviously why all these things are different." They just think "hey this wasn't here before and now it is... cool!" And that's kind of a beautiful way to show childhood innocence in my opinion.

So that's about everything! Hope you guys like this! Next week will be Toy Story 3... and then I don't know what I'm going to post! Lol. Maybe I'll do a round up saying some more about all 3... maybe I won't!

Bye!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

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...
