Raiders of the Lost Ark

(Donald Duck’s three nephews) was “tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties”. Scrooge was similar to Barks with his secrecy. Carl Barks inspired Steven Spielberg and George Lucas with the rolling-boulder scene in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark which was originally in the 1954 Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge comic “The Seven Cities of Cibola” (The 7th Uncle Scrooge comic). Some of Bark’s stories on space travel also inspired George Lucas. Carl Barks has a street named after him…

council made a statement after watching the film by saying “Food, Inc., is a one-sided, negative, and misleading film about the way food is produced and sold in the United States. It is a documentary about the American food system the way Raiders of the Lost Ark was a documentary about archaeology.” The chicken council has put rules and regulations on how these chickens are treated.

Times have changed. I have seen E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) a few times before in the past and always thought it was more aimed toward kids than adults, nevertheless, rewatching it again with newer eyes I have come to appreciate its cinematic value. The whole aspect of the film is done in such a skillful, clever, and humble way that focuses on family, friendship, and love. Given the fact that this is science fiction and dealing with a mysterious UFO landing, there is some level of anxiety…

Nitro-junkie & Badmotorjam I have a natural appreciation for muscle cars, classic automobiles, motorcycles et al. I also love movies, and my penchant for these appreciations means life stories are analogous to all things with engines and celluloid. What’s even better is there is never a shortage of stories to tell. Last week’s adventure at the pump was eye opening for me anyway. Yet, I have noticed that whenever someone sticks their neck out to write about the topic of masculinity, some people…

The psychological condition of understanding is not binary. Life is understood by all through different lenses, and that lens is known as perspective. One’s frame of reference creates their outlook, and that outlook generates an individual’s reality. Emotions, intellect, and feelings represent the spectrum of an individual’s kaleidoscopic reality, though all are displayed at one point in time, and at another point in time their arrangement may be entirely different, the colors remain the same.…
