Filmmaking Lessons from “The Ocean’s Trilogy” — ‘Ocean’s Eleven’
Ocean’s Eleven was released in 2001. The world was kind of in a weird place. It felt like everything was on fire. I was nine years old and I was at the Regal Theater in New Rochelle. I was watching one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. George Clooney and Brad Pitt, the epitome of gentlemen thieves, were on the screen looking like absolute rock stars; movie royalty. At the end of the film, the villain, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), a ruthless mogul and casino owner, has just called the SWAT team to stop thieves from robbing his vault. The thieves escape and the SWAT team leaves. Terry Benedict stands in the middle of the vault and tries to piece together what just happened. His second in command asks him on the walkie-talkie, “What happened to all that money?” We cut to the SWAT team walking through the casino floor, bags in hand. One of them flips up their helmet to wipe the sweat off his brow. It’s Brad Pitt.

Enabling Thoughts on Dune
Maybe this could be the real sand worm of Paul Herbert's Dune. That and other random tangential thoughts could form the bulk of a networked corpus of knowledge, understanding, and analysis of classics. When I consider that, I wonder, why even care? I feel as small and insignificant as these sand worms.

My Review on Three Robots
"Love, Death, and Robots: Three Robots & Three Robots: Exit Strategies." Spoilers ahead! The other day I came across a funny animation called three robots that were part of a show called “Love, Death, and Robots.“ Many shorts range from horror, sci-fi, romance, and comedy. You can find this show on Netflix, the story was based on the short story written originally by John Scalzi, but was adapted by writer Philip Gelatt. The one I love so much and want to talk about is called Three Robots. A YouTuber channel named story recapped caught my attention when he explained the comedy/Science Fiction short film. I’ll include the link since I got some help from watching this video.

"A hag or a witch grins ghoulishly over a bowl of food, an evil-looking figure whispers in the ear of an old man, a drowning dog lost in an unidentifiable mass, and the most disturbing out of them is the demonic figure with wide eyes and swallowing the body of his own child."

Everything Is Falling Apart & I Can't Stop Watching Video Game Fails
Things are pretty bad right now. Fascism has been shockingly on the rise for years. Homophobic and transphobic laws are making the rounds in the US and the UK. Roe v. Wade was overturned in the US. And on top of all this, wealth inequality has metastasized, and the climate has deteriorated due to human activity.
