Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Not too long ago, I saw Toy Story 5 with friends! Here are some thoughts.  As always, the Toy Story  team did a great job I was happy for Jessie to take center stage The legion of Buzz Lightyears was just too funny I genuinely appreciated that, in the end, technology is not the evil initially thought, but rather it's how and why kids use it that makes the difference It was moving how Jessie's first kid named her daughter after Jessie, but that said, I can't think of a toy I'd name my kid after (but perhaps that's because my toys have names like "Tiger Kitty") I was able to predict a few moments in the story, but there were some genuine surprises The non-main toys were all excellent comedic relief I feel like Bonnie and Blaze had way more creative play than I did as a kid (not that I didn't have fun, creative times, but I don't think I constructed like a royal ball where there are spies, one of whom turns out to be the bomb they're trying to fi...

Time for the finale (already)!  So, Joey, is it the most original if it's been done already? A'keria, I'm so sorry I'm sorry, I LOVED A'keria's performance A'keria is having such a rough go and I'm so sorry Jasmine, Dawn's point was that judging on A'keria having made the puppets in the Werk Room is odd...not that judging A'keria at all was odd Also, while I think it may not have been the best strategy to make the puppets in the Werk Room, I could easily see that being a better plan than shipping fully made puppets and having them break in transit--like aren't there limitations on how many pieces of luggage the queens can bring? I would say that Joey should've won some challenges I think the producers should've waited a beat more after Joey said, "Line?" to make the cue for the Ru mail Wait, why couldn't the show get Norvina in person? Um...Silky I did love your streak of lip syncs, but I wouldn't say you're ...

It's nearly here! World Cup trivia Foosball Face paint stations (if need be, assign guests randomly to the two final teams) Bingo cards for things that COULD happen during the match Soccer ball disposable plates etc. Every guest proposes a new rule for the World Cup and guests vote on which is they would add (they will, in good faith, not vote for their own suggestion) Every guest proposes a new kind of break for the World Cup players to take and guests vote on which is their favorite (they will, in good faith, not vote for their own suggestion) Every guest proposes a mascot for the two final teams and guests vote on the best fits for each team (they will, in good faith, not vote for their own suggestions) Serve popular drinks from both of the final two countries Decorate with little flags of the final two countries Teach guests fun phrases and/or slang from the final two countries Play music from the final two countries before the match and/or during hydration breaks Instead of a ...

Time for campfire therapy. Oof Russ...you didn't even try? Shekinah went to wilderness survival boarding school??? Shekinah, the fact that you didn't get hurt makes me suspicious of this story But, to her credit, she is the one who found the supplies Rebecca, yes, animals poop outside Rebecca, you work 12-16 hours a day??? Patrick, you could've said that in a less rude way Sarper, yes you could use your fingers instead of a stick, but when is the last time you all washed your hands? And Thais isn't sure if she could be pregnant I love that Shekinah, Sarper, Jenny, and Sumit are the first to find the camp site Shekinah...were you in a cult? I mean I get that it's unsettling for 2 couples to be so late, but they do have a camera crew with them who definitely have phones so I'm sure they're fine Aha! So Kara, Guillermo, Russ, and Paola have made it Wait, Jenny, I thought you were living with Sumit's money to save money... Sumit took out loans to cover his p...

Not too long ago, I saw  Stop! That! Train!  with a friend! Here are some thoughts. The funniest singular scene had to be when the president is getting an increasingly large stack of briefs and other things as she walks around the Oval Office and is being updated on the increasingly silly list of who has signed on to help But, of course, a highlight for me was also Latrice Royale popping up as Barbara in job after job I also have to give a shoutout to Rachel Bloom whom I love from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend The musical numbers were well recorded and edited, cleverly and hilariously written, and performed with the right mix of skill and silliness But, I do wish Jaida Essence Hall had been cast considering one of the original numbers was called "Look Over There!" which is 100% making use of the success of the catchphrase she started in her original season's political debate episode I think even more Ru girls could've been squeezed in since there were lots of passengers on the...

Well I forgot to take notes on this episode's preview, so we'll all just be surprised! Marissa, your tone is annoying me Marissa, why are you this exasperated all of the time? Marissa and her mom look so close in age Allison calling her dad Shea hits me in a weird way I'm concerned how unconcerned all of these young women are about Shea hitting on them Shea, I get that it may be a bit awkward that Anabelle is going to sleep early, but you don't think it's embarrassing for Anabelle with you flirting so blatantly with women your daughter's age? Also, yeah, Shea, Anabelle is tired! Allison, Anabelle isn't bossing your dad around. She said that she was going to bed...that's kind of it Allison, SEEK THERAPY! You are TOO gleeful at the idea of Anabelle leaving I think Mallorie and Rasit really get each other Brandon, you suck (and possibly only own one outfit) I do love that this team is called the Trash Pandas HA! Rasit learned baseball from Twilight Honestly...
