Scribbles about movies: Keanu Review

So I saw Keanu yesterday... and its one of the most clever and funny movies I've ever seen. Probably a favorite of mine... I love it. I've never seen a full episode of Key and Peele. I don't know too much about their sketches or anything... but there were some billboards and little things in the background of the movie that I'm pretty sure were jokes from Key and Peele sketches... not 100% sure... but they were funny either way and I'm thinking they have some significance. And really... they work so well together. Its just fun to watch them together because they have great chemistry and they're so fun. And the concept for the movie was brilliant... if you're a writer or a film nerd... you've probably heard the concept of Saving The Cat. You want your hero to "save the cat" in every film to make them more likable. In Gone Girl, Ben Affleck has a cat that he saves... doesn't make him more likable... but he also didn't kill his wife. L...

So I have some reviews coming up...

But I don't feel like writing a review right now! Ugh! I'm cold and tired and just need to take a bath and go to sleep but today was fun. I went to the movies with my mom. We saw Keanu which I'll probably have a review on tomorrow... but it might be one of my favorite movies ever. It was funny and such a clever concept. I used my Nubian 2 palette today! That was exciting. I got it yesterday and I really liked it! I ate a delicious salad and some delicious rice pudding. I did my first periscope! It was fun! I was nervous! I feel like I talked really fast... but it was a lotta fun and it wasn't as scary as I thought. And now I'm watching periscope and I need to take a bath cause I'm cold and sleepy. Byeee! -Shannon

Shannon Goes Viral: Blink 182, 10 hour loop videos

Okay... so I was going to do a mix of the Shrek is Love videos... but I couldn't get passed Shrek is Love 2... and I just can't recommend watching those at all. They make me feel sick and they just kind of suck... so instead... I'm doing a few minutes of some 10 hour loop videos and writing about those. Blink 182: I Miss You: Tom's Verse 10 hour loop  Obviously... I didn't watch this on a 10 hour loop... I listened to it for 8 minutes while I wrote yesterdays blog and then clicked away. I like this song. I think I'm more of a Mark fan than a Tom fan when it comes to Blink... but I like Tom's voice. Its cute and fun. My favorite songs just happen to be Mark songs. This is a good mix of the two of them. And it didn't really feel like I was listening to this for 8 minutes... it just felt like a long song, or just a song that was stuck in my head. I believe this has something to do with Nathan Fielder... but I don't totally know. What's Going...

Underrated Things/People #1

So I thought I'd just shout out a few things that are underrated in different categories... and then we'll see what happens. Lol. Movie: Dark Shadows  This is probably not the #1 most underrated movie... but that's what inspired the post. The Blu Ray was on sale at Target for $5! I love this movie and for $5 I love it even more. I thought Johnny Depp was great as a vampire. I thought Eva Green was really funny and bitchy and just awesome... and I just really liked it a lot! So yeah... for $5 sign me up. Singer: Nick Jonas  Can we all just appreciate that Nick Jonas is grown up and is now kind of hot? And not only that, but he has a hot voice. You could kinda tell when the Jonas Brothers had that song Burnin up... and then when he did the "I still get jealous song..." The guy is hot and awesome and underrated. Actress: Nia Vardalos  Nia Vardalos hasn't been in many movies and she's more of a writer... but she's my favorite! I think I've see...

Beyonce News: 4.26.2016 (Lemonade, Becky with the good hair, Rachel Ray)

So I thought I'd do a whole news post dedicated to Beyonce. I don't know if this will be the only Beyonce news post ever... I think anytime Beyonce does something amazing... I'll write a Beyonce news about her. Disclaimer: I did not see the Lemonade special and I do not own the cd or the special... if its available to purchase. I didn't know about it and I was too late on it and then everyone was talking about it the next day and I thought I lost 10 years of my life... so yeah. Here's kinda what happened. So Queen Bey decided to do a special and a cd called Lemonade. And the special was a one day only thing and the cd you can still download. And it was about a lot of things. I guess she was making Lemonade out of lemons because Jay Z allegedly had an affair with Rachel Roy and Beyonce was allegedly forgiving him for it. Shoot he's got 101 problems now! Anyway there's a line in one of Beyonce's songs about "Becky With The Good Hair." And t...

Chart Chat: 4.25.16

Alrighty so the top 5 movies of the week! Let's go! Also hope you guys are all having a great Perfect Date Today... 5) The Boss- This was #1 last chart chat and now its bumped to #5! Lot came out this week, and this just isn't one you see over and over again. Its one you see if you wanna see... and then if it goes out of theaters, it goes out of theaters. Its a good movie, I've seen it and reviewed it but not one I want to see in theaters. 4) Zootopia- This is still in the top 5! Still going strong! Good job Zootopia! I haven't seen this movie yet, I'll see it when its on tv...I'm excited for it though. I think it looks really funny and I want to see it... but I feel old seeing it in theaters. It looks really good though and I keep saying this in chart chats... but this is clearly worth seeing since its been in just about every chart chat since it came out. Good job Zootopia! 3) Barbershop: The Next Cut- This got terrible reviews... but I want to see it...

Weekly Wrap Up 4.24.16

Favorites  Unbreakable Kimmy Schmiddt- I didn't have time to watch this until Monday and I haven't had enough time to finish it this week... but so far so good! I love Kimmy Schmiddt. Idk if I like it as much as last year... but its still great! I Love it! I think its a great show! DNCE- I just did a review on their EP and I loved it! I hope they come out with more songs soon. I think its fun. I think I have a crush on Nick Jonas... and I just think they have a good sound and they're a lot of fun. Kinda reminds me of Cobra Starship! Iced White Mocha with Rasberry- I think this was my first time having that. It tasted really good and sweet too! I was surprised at how much I really liked it. Snippets from the week  I figured I'd change highlights to snippets cause I keep doing snippet posts. - Monday I watched Season 2 of Kimmy Schmiddt mostly. -Tuesday I went shopping with my mom and I had pizza. - Thursday and Friday I went shopping too. -I had a lot of St...
