The Big Short
An absolute rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish; dread, hopelessness, defeat, excitement, hope ironically enough. The Big Short has it all. A fantastic, hilarious, tragic film that's able to simplify complex wall street vocabulary, into an easily digestible and understandable message about greed and corruption. Please, watch this film.

Wizard's Ball Game
This is Wizard's Ball (actually that's a terrible name somebody please give me some ideas for something not as laughable), the game of high speed, flying action as two teams of 6 go head to head in the air attempting to score 21 points and the match isn't over until they do!

The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Giver is a great book set in a dystopian future where everyone is forced to act the same and sees in black and white. The Giver eventually gives a young boy his memories from before everything was the same. The boy revolts and wants freedom to finally be different.

Charlatan
When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?

Divergent Movie
Divergent movie was poorly executed but I have to say intrigued me. While author Veronica Roth did not mean Divergent to be about the politically correct term Neurodivergent referring to a mind with autism like traits, it accurately depicts how society punishes people who do not think the same.

Peacemaker
And we're back to me talking about John Cena. I'm so glad he took the leap to hollywood. John is an incredible actor and absolutely hilarious. Yeah he's had some blunders in the past. Peacemaker is not one of them. Hilarious, violent, and shockingly deep when it wants to be.

Challenging Yourself to Overcome Writer's Block
A critique challenge? Just 50 words? Not sure about this. Seems interesting but hard. Fifty one words! Gotta cut something. That was fun. Another day. Too many positive ones. Should probably balance it with something else. Let me take it to the extreme, and see how many I can write?

National Geographic
What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.

Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.

No Shelter by Rage Against the Machine
Did Rage Against the Machine own a time machine in the 1990s? I’m not saying they did, but it’s sometimes too hard to listen to their 1998 single, No Shelter, and wonder if they hadn’t just arrived back from the 2020s. Prolific lyrics or time travel. Guess we’ll never know.
