Review: "Don't Worry Darling"
Don’t Worry Darling has been on the wrong side of the internet for a long time leading up to its release in theaters for all the drama it has brought to Hollywood and its stars. Movies are supposed to bring drama, but the behind-the-scenes issues behind this film are almost laughable. Between the relationship between star and director Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles is a sore point, as well as the tension between Wilde and Florence Pugh. To go into all the rumors and drama behind the scenes would be more than enough to go into an entirely different article, but still worth mentioning as it will indeed affect how some view the film. At its core, Don’t Worry Darling is a psychological thriller that features some terrific work from its main star in Pugh as well as some incredible cinematography.

Why Junji Ito’s Earthbound is a deep dive into guilt
This story was a different twist on guilt. It’s ironic that Junji Ito is known for grotesque horror and this is one of those rare stories that he does without intense amounts of horror and focuses on the impact.

Walking Inside the World of Vincent van Gogh
"I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream. ” - Vincent Van Gogh When I was a little girl, I used to look at van Gogh’s paintings for hours. My father had an enormous hardcover book that featured an impressive collection of his art throughout his career. I found it fascinating – the vivid colors, the brush strokes, the people – all of it was like nothing I had seen before. There are a few paintings I’ve never forgotten over the years–Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette, Sunflowers, Starry Night Over the Rhône, The Night Café, and his self-portraits.

Westworld and the Limits of White Imagination
Thomas Jefferson described the relationship with the men and women he enslaved as holding "a wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him nor safely let him go." While he allegedly favored "gradual emancipation," he feared that sudden liberation would result in a race war. We will discuss this fear in greater detail later, but keep it in the back of your mind as we examine the sci-fi hit Westworld and how it relates to revolution and imagination.

Selfishness caused by prejudice
It is not possible to say in what way prejudice is first formed in people but we can say it based on evidence. This bias appears to have occurred in humans like birds of a species flocking to a nest. However, prejudice has formed in humans in many ways based on color, language, profession, family relationship and more.

'The Walking Dead' is More About Now and the Beginning of the World Than the End
Photo by Gage Skidmore Zombies ate my neighbors and are everywhere. So much so, that all I could think was "When will we be done with all this?" as The Walking Dead commercials ran incessantly. But I was told that it held great thought provoking science fiction currency so I decided to take a look after several years on the sidelines.

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.
