Nothing in the world balls harder than kids playing basketball at the public courts behind the ROMAN COLESSEUM.
Imagine dunking on somebody and yelling "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?"

A public outdoor basketball court. Orange court on a beautiful clear sky day. 6 kids are playing half court ball. The Roman Colesseum is behind them through some trees.

I respect that theory.
My theory is that they make a Tron movie every generation to train a new VFX artists on what they'll be focusing on for the next decade(s)
Tron - Extended computer generation
Tron Legacy - Facial de-aged characters
Tron Ares - TBD?

It's an educational write off for Disney.

Cocoon is a terrific 3D puzzle game and its free for PS+ members this month. I highly recommend checking it out! 👍

Cover art for the video game Cocoon. It's a little bug pushing a giant marble. The giant marble has a world within it.

The need to scratch an itch has to be a top 10 flaw in human instinct.
If you have a bug bite, rash, or allergic reaction scratching does not help. It makes everything worse, but is the only thing we want to do and feels perfect for 1 second.

I like to imagine Remy from Ratatouille has the intelligence disease from Planet of the Apes and what we're seeing is the beginning of a Planet of the Rats type scenario where rats get smarter and people get dumber he as the infection spreads.

I am currently writing a wedding speech and it's so hard to hit the right balance of all the elements without falling into the problem zones that I made this Venn diagram to describe.

Three circles; Jokes, Stories, and Compliments. That intersect to 3 sections of "Dude Bro who shouldn't give a speech" "What is this a roast" and "A King But rambling drunk" with "The Speech I want" in the middle
