{March 11, 2013}   Wreck it Ralph, Ted, Netflix

I believe that tonight, I have a lot to say, so here goes..

First, the other day when I was talking about all those extra charges (remember grrr) well, I forgot…at the obstacle races, they charge people to come in and watch, a $20 spectator fee! Really?
And Redbox..the beauty of Redbox is that it was $1 for a movie rental, have to have it back within 24 hours or there is a charge, ok, but now, $1.20? Plus tax? What is that?!? How much will it be next?

Everyone (well, a bunch of people) were on Facebook talking about SNL, Saturday Night Live, this past Saturday. So I decided to check it out, and I have to tell you, it’s the first time in years I have watched SNL and I laughed almost from start to finish! Justin Timberlake was hosting, it was his 5th time and if you remember the skit they did for the 5time hosts, this was like that. Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Alec Baldwin, Candice Bergen, Paul Simon. All but two of the skits were worth watching and Justin Timberlake was the musical act. It’s on Hulu, so you could check it out and I would recommend it, I haven’t said that about SNL in a long time, I hope that tells you anything about my opinion!

Oh, did I tell you, I made another batch of that great eggless egg salad, this time I added mini orange peppers and fresh peas, y u m! I will say that I really do like it better with the sweet relish, it adds something.

Ok, moving on…Wreck it Ralph. I really enjoyed this movie, Disney knows how to deliver a message. It takes place in the world of an arcade, after the arcade closes and we are in the games. They characters will actually leave the game, go to a train depot and hang out. Ralph is a “bad guy” in a 1980s style game, looked like a cross between Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong. He just wants to be a good guy, ends up in a futuristic attack game and then a candy land on crack racing game. Ralph makes friends and becomes a hero. There is action, adventure, love, laughs and a good moral. I almost shed a tear, those of you who know me aren’t surprised. As the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes, so did mine.

And then my IQ dropped at least that much! I watched Ted. I have been avoiding this movie and I probably could have gone my entire life without seeing it. Ok, it wasn’t the worst movie in the world, but I think I would have been ok if I’d skipped it. Aside from the movie, the actors they got to be in this movie was staggering! Patrick Stewart narrating? Sir Patrick Stewart?! (Swoon!) Patrick Warburton and Ryan Reynolds (unexpected), Tom Skerritt? (LOVE). Norah Jones? Sam Jones?!? If someone had told me Flash Gordon was going to be in the movie, I would have watched it sooner! (Maybe). And Mark Wahlberg singing badly? Yeah right! I know there was a message..I’ll let you know when I figure it out!

I’m sure you’re tired, I am too! G’night!
