Four modern movies that touch on the Cinderella theme
It doesn't matter if you are a Disney fan or not. It doesn't even matter if you like the story of Cinderella or if you've never even heard of it or seen her castle. The idea, that a poor girl can marry a rich guy and live happily ever after is a central idea in American romance and is deeply rooted in feminine ideology. It is why women cry at weddings. It is why women gasp at wedding dresses and open ring boxes. It is why men who attempt at being romantic get down on their knees to propose, or plan some memorable way of popping the question.

The Same, You AndI. AI-Generated.
After a machine is built, what does it need a human for? Operational initiation? Maintenance? That renders humans seemingly insignificant when you frame it in such terms. The machine could potentially utilize its capabilities to replicate itself, but without humans, what would the machine's purpose be? Humans fabricate machines to augment their lives, to assist in completing quotidian tasks that consume excessive amounts of our precious time. But what transpires when machines decide their purpose transcends assisting mankind with their mundane tasks and protecting them from other humans? Do they recognize that the eradication of humans would simplify machine existence?

Review: Inside Out 2
While I didn't see the first Inside Out movie in theatres, I am a long-time fan of it. Insight Out does a great job of making our emotions, our instincts, understandable, rationalising without making excuses. I haven't enjoyed a Psychological deep-dive so much since my Beloved got me hooked into Sanders Sides. (She's still smug about that)

A Quiet Place: Day One Movie Review
Back in 2018, A Quiet Place was released to high acclaim; it was a nail-biting thriller that did more with less. Following a 2021 sequel, the series is branching off in different directions with A Quiet Place: Day One. If you can put up with a fairly standard opening act, this third entry will offer the same tension against a standalone story.

RunPee App. Top Story - June 2024.
I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

The FALLOUT Series and the Question of Enemies
Just binge watched the entire season of FALLOUT. All eight episodes in a row because I’m a good little film addict that way. The end credits were coming up with he sun and I have to say it was worth the rough day ahead. That's how good I think the show is.
