Chasing Reality
Chapter 1 I always go back to that moment where it all started. It all started with the first time I saw her. Her curly dirty blond hair waving in the wind as her hands fought to keep the rebellious strands tucked behind her ears. Her perfectly curved body that made me gasp with admiration as she shifted her attitude into her left hip. And I will never forget about her mesmerizing emerald green eyes that glared at me with such disgust, annoyance, and just flat out hatred. But when I stared closely into her eyes and peaked behind the walls that her pupils used to shield her thoughts, I saw her true feelings.

Liam Neeson Defends 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'
It seems as if the common consensus on whether Star Wars films are good or bad shifts like the wind. In 1980, when The Empire Strikes Back was released, fan reception of the film was actually fairly poor, with fans asserting that it was not "by any means as nice as Star Wars [A New Hope]" and criticizing many of the story and plot choices that were made. Now, however, Empire is one of the most beloved Star Wars films of all, and is now frequently hailed as one of the best, if not the best, in the series.

But thats gonna be a whole other story. Also, SCPs are organized in a list, Safe, Elucid, Keter. Safe means they are safe around humans and require little to no security and resources to contain them. Elucid means they require more resources and can pose a threat, or exhibit hostile behavior.

The CLOUD was created to explore how our sense of taste and smell interact with each other to determine how we perceive flavour. The team observed that traditionally we only consume foods in two phases; solids and liquids. We pushed to engineer a way to break this constraint, and theorized what if we could enjoy our favourite dishes through another medium.

This year has been difficult for Hollywood productions. Due to COVID-19, productions that had been filming or had been gearing up for filming were shut down back in mid March. All theaters were closed, forcing studios to postpone their highly anticipated blockbusters to later dates, including Marvel’s Black Widow and DC’s Wonder Woman 1984. Even Universal’s blockbuster sequel, Jurassic World: Dominion, and the live-action film based on the popular video game Uncharted, starring Spider-Man himself Tom Holland, were also halted.

Why Does Obi-Wan Kenobi Smile Right Before He Dies?
Last week, there was a Screen Rant article making the rounds that posed the question of why Obi-Wan Kenobi smiles right before he dies in the duel against Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. On the surface, it seems like an easy question to answer. Obi-Wan sees Luke, who has been built up as the hero for the future all throughout that film. Kenobi says to Vader, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” We see how this plays out. Vader kills Kenobi, Kenobi becomes a voice from beyond who can guide Luke, and Luke becomes victorious. Pretty simple and straightforward.
