Live Blog of Up

For reasons I don't quite know, I'm yet to see the movie Up. Now that I'm watching, I figured it would be a perfect opportunity to live blog. I'll keep you updated on my reactions as I watch the movie unfold. Off I go!

1 minute in:
Momentary confusion that I was watching the wrong movie. Glad that got cleared up real fast.

3 minutes:
Are houses in real life actually boarded up like that? I feel like movies are so dramatic about that, to the point where the house practically screams "ABANDONED!!!"

7 minutes:
HA. They buy the house. How cute. Kinda embarrassed I didn't see that coming

11 minutes:
This is a sad, sad movie. Poor Carl. He reminds me of my Grandpa, and that makes me sadder. Now he's going to become Grumpy Carl and that's just not right. Why must there have to be any sad and lonely old men in the world?! :(

13:
Got enough door locks there buddy? Cool, just checking.

18:
Oh no!! Carl, get it together! No one knows the significance of that mail box to his heart. But now he has to go to Shady Oaks1 :( Unless, of course, he somehow manages to "escape"....

22:
Go Carl!!! Up, UP!!! Except, no offense Pixar, but why aren't people freaking out lol. Like that random family walking on the street who was kinda like "Oh, jeez, a flying house. Nice."

25:
LET HIM IN!

26:
K, thank god. That was quite concerning.

30:
Lol that the kid could shadily hold the entire house from falling off the cliff. Russell FTW!
In other news, hey! It's that place from the painting!!! Cliffs and waterfalls and greens! HAHA Russell, if you're strong enough to hold the house up why can you literally only climb an inch on the hose?

38:
Kevin!!! Lol (again). Carl's talking to Ellie is so cute. Makes my heart melt. Ellie would let them keep Kevin... she's fun!


41:
Not sure how I feel about this talking dog. Really unsure right now. WAIT THERE ARE MORE? This is concerning. And omg Alpha dog's voice sounds like it does when you swallow helium....are you thinking what I'm thinking?!?! #balloons

48:
Carl, be a father figure to Russell! Let him be the son you never had. Bonding!

50:
"Kevin's a girl?!" Ha. Ha.

56:
Yay! Interesting turn of events that Carl gets to meet his idol Charles Muntz. Still not a fan of these talking dogs. Seeing Carl looking at the artifacts/skeletons is like a little boy on Christmas <3

1 hour:
Am I missing something...why don't Carl and Russell just give Kevin to Charles?

1 hour 3 minutes:
DON'T DIE KEVIN.

1:06:
Charles you are EVIL. I am beyond disenchanted. This movie will be a huge disappointment if Carl cannot save both his house and Kevin...but I have a feeling it will work out ;)

1:12:
Aw. Cue sad music.
Sidenote- Carl has really wide fingers.

1:14:
Carl: a man with a mission. Aka it's time to empty your house of everything you own. Huzzah!

1:17:
Will he save Russell?!?!!?

1:18:
Yes, DUH.

1:22:
Okay, this movie is cute, but perhaps a little bizarre for me. The dogs are TOO MUCH. Also, how did Russell suddenly get buff enough to climb up the hose?

1:25:
Classic almost near-death experience. Goodbye, house.

1:27:
"The Ellie Badge" :'( and :')

Solid movie. Good? Yes. Superb? Not necessarily. Interesting to see how the discussion will unfold!
