Another Jumanji Post/ Basically Bethany Appreciation Post

    I love the Bethany character sooo much! I love the new trend where just because a girl is popular doesn't mean she's awful (also see Spiderman). She is so self-aware and genuinely there for her friends, including Martha who she doesn't know/doesn't know well before detention and treats her rudely.

Quick Junmanji Post

Jumanji is actually a really fun movie. The actors are all super talented and hilarious.

Quick necessary background: that was a private school.
Evidence:
-Bethany didn't get sent to detention for major dress code issue. Idk why directors/wardrobe artists think girls can show their stomachs at school but that's not a thing. Even the cheerleaders don't,

Poppy is a Poppin' Rolemodel

Dear Makers of decent children's movies from a parent who watches the same movie over and over again: thank you!!
    Trolls is a lot of fun. It has catchy songs that aren't overly repetitive and don't make you want to scream into a pillow for an hour. There's a sarcastic character who speaks to my soul on many levels and lives out my dream of stopping an unasked spontaneous singer from singing. (Branch has his obvious flaw that should be mentioned, he treats Poppy badly. He's condescending and mean so as my daughter gets older we'll have a talk about how if a boy likes you he doesn't treat you like that.)The best part about Trolls is Poppy.
