The Golden Girls and Sex and the City share the same character archtypes
Today I went to church and bible study after a very traumatic month of being relocated due to hurricane devastation. I respect the pastor of that church and he has continued to check in on me so I wanted to show him (and Jesus) that I am not an ingrate, nor have I totally forsaken my faith. I am a complicated woman and one thing I'm proud of myself for is the ability to ascertain when I must take my time about who and where I should spend my time. If I feel like it's only going to make me feel worse when I'm already drowning, I take a break.

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 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.
