Transformers One and Jaybucks

Sweetie wanted to watch "Transformers One" and we discovered you can watch it through Google TV. I used to watch Transformers on TV when I was a child, so I'm familiar with the characters. I also get to watch whenever Sweetie views videos and I usually ask him a gazillion questions. 

We decided to have a movie night to watch Transformers One. Sweetie and Miggy prepared Jaybucks 3-cheese pizza and we just ordered pasta and chicken. Perfect meal while watching a movie!

I didn't know what to expect. Sweetie just said it was the story on how Optimus Prime and Megatron started. I was surprised to find out that Optimus Prime and Megatron were besties and we're once upon a time smaller. I loved the storyline and how it seemed to have references to pop culture. I also loved how it was animated. TBH, it's much better than the movies that had humans in it. This one is more nostalgic and ties nicely to how I was introduced to the Transformers when I was a child.

That's all I would say for now since I don't want to give any more spoilers. Watching it is worth the time and renting the movie. Now we'll watch BTS and easter egg vids!

Happy weekend!

Throwback Thursday: Pixar Exhibit in Tokyo

I got to visit the Pixar Exhibit at the Mori Arts Center the last time I visited Tokyo. It was just a stone's throw away from where I was staying, so I thought it was something I could do after work. I was interested to see the exhibit since Miggy was about to finish his animation course. I thought it would give me a better understanding about the process of producing an animated film. 

I was given a good view of how Pixar creates its films. The first part of the exhibit walks you through the process of creating a film. I would usually ask Miggy how they created things and seeing how Pixar does it made me understand better why it takes so long to create a project. 

It was fun to see how Pixar created some of the popular characters from their movies. They had sculptures and sketches on display. Then as you move forward through the exhibit they would show how the character develops into what you see on screen. How I wish I had Miggy with me when I went through the exhibit. 

At the end of the exhibit I bumped into my colleague. He also went around and I bumped into him at the museum shop, haha. He was picking up a few things for his family. The shop was already closing so we both rushed to finish our shopping. After going around the visit I called up the boys to update them about what I saw at the exhibit.
