Ted

Sometimes, Tumblr fails me...

Mom and I remember the scene in the film differently...that Ted was also wearing ears just like Yoda.

I also wanted a screencap/photo of Ted riding a German Shepherd. Of course, you can probably guess why...

Thor: I need a horse!
Pet Store Clerk: We don't have horses. Just dogs, cats, birds.
Thor: Then give me one of those large enough to ride.

Yes, mom and I went to Ted last Saturday but I think the better question would be, why wouldn't we see Ted?

It's Mark Wahlberg in a comedy AND a cute teddy bear, like Lotso, doing R rated things. No, I think Lotso was an inspiration here. Ted was given as a gift in 1985 and according to Pixar's history, Lotso debuted in 1983. However, Ted is a lot larger than Lotso and can only say "I love you" in his original form.

Ted was awesome. Of course, I will probably be extremely happy with any film that references Jurassic Park repeatedly and makes a whole subplot out of Flash Gordon.

*has Queen theme song in head*

I'm kind of getting tired of Joel McHale being the "go to" asshole. There was some insulting of Brandon Routh who I feel is under-rated and I liked his Superman but the film is HILARIOUS!

Ted even complains at one point that he sounds "nothing like Peter Griffin", lol. Even my mom thought it was funny and I can count on one hand the number of times she's seen Family Guy. There was also a part where I almost cried so beware...there is sad and sweet parts along with the 80s/90s pop culture and vulgarity.

Magic Mike

So, despite Channing Tatum and everything, my mom really wasn't sold on Magic Mike until she found out that it took place in Tampa and was shot here. It was great seeing familiar locations on the big screen. I have a photo of myself as a toddler on the same beach where they filmed the sandbar scene. Plus, it helps to explain why I was so surprised that Tampa was just the 8th smuttiest city in America...then again, they have been trying to clean it up...

I have to admit I forgot how amazing Tatum's dance skills are...and I didn't recognize Kevin Nash even though I used to have a huge crush on Diesel...

Yes, that four door black truck is impressive but can it fit a Loki in the back?

Still, I really enjoyed it. The film was fun.
