Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph from 2012 (IMDB) has a lot of great references in it, but one of the geekiest has got to be King Candy’s use of the Konami Cheat Code (link). But in searching GetYarn.io, there apparently isn’t enough valid subtitle / dialogue action to get a good gif (not to mention having to click back from the nearest valid dialogue that turned up the correct section of the movie lol). So guess it’s time for another round of “make it yourself”! 😉 Start with a little dash of Googling (Google Search | youtube to gif), throw in a pinch of “this second link looks promising” (Youtube to GIF | free YouTube to GIF Generator on Make A GIF), cook for 15 seconds, and et voilà! Wreck-It-Ralph King Candy Konami Cheat Code on Make a GIF Of course I’m a big fan of having my … Continue reading →
A co-worker was poking around Google Maps and stumbled upon this unusual, yet practical demonstration of chromatic aberration (Wikipedia). Us Weekly | ‘Fixer Upper’ Was Presenting a ‘Security Issue’ for Chip, Joanna Gaines So beautiful! I’ve only seen the show a handful of times, but the hosts always struck me as genuinely good people and this only confirms it in my mind. PC Gamer | For better or worse, Assassin’s Creed: Origins is an RPG now This very much whets my appetite for more. 27 October can’t get here fast enough! Polygon | Disney chief was consulted about decision to kill Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens I don’t know why, but this feels like Iger trying to (unneccesarily) prove that he’s a mover / shaker or something. Polygon | Rick and Morty fans, McDonald’s is bringing back Szechuan sauce This is very amusing to me. I don’t … Continue reading →
The best way we could think of to rank these is similar to those alignment charts you see (where you have lawful good and chaotic evil and so on) where the two main categories (or axes) are Film Quality (mediocre, good, or bad) and Homage Paid To Source Material (too much, just right, not enough). The films for this list are primarily sourced from Wikipedia’s “List of Disney live-action remakes of animated films” article, but we have adjusted the listing for our own purposes. For example: Christopher Robin (2018) (IMDB entry) (Wikipedia entry) has been omitted as it is not a remake or a re-imagining, but a legacy sequel (or legasequel). Oz: The Great and Powerful (2013) (IMDB entry) (Wikipedia entry) was originally listed, but upon critical analysis removed as a legacy prequel rather than a straight remake / re-imagining. Mary Poppins Returns (2018) (IMDB entry) (Wikipedia entry) was omitted as … Continue reading →

Paul chorus / interlude Jon Growing up in Michigan, you didn’t go outside in winter But you could play outside in the summer humidity Sometimes my mom would splurge and get me a gallon of grape drink First choice was always water, but I was only interested in something sweet So I would decline and go back out playing Pleasure center of my brain was looking for that dopamine hit from sugar When I finally got desperate, I would pick up the hose, no matter where it was lying, no matter what it smelled like, put my mouth on it and quench my thirst Liquid is discussed a lot in the Bible 4 But he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, … Continue reading →
Paul Maria Imagine you are an ancient Israelite around 700 BC With what should I approach the Lord and bow down before God on high? Should I come before him with entirely burned offerings, with year-old calves? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with many torrents of oil? Should I give my oldest child for my crime; the fruit of my body for the sin of my spirit? He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:6-8 (CEB) I get faithful love and walking with you, but what does it mean to do justice What does it mean to be a community of justice Here in Micah justice is the Hebrew term mishpat, means to put things right, to intervene in a situation that is wrong, … Continue reading →
Paul Maria A while ago now I lived in Chicago and I volunteered at a family homeless shelter In the South Bay statistics say there are around 7,000 homeless people Family Promise of the South Bay The idea is that each church in the coalition will provide a home on a quarterly basis Paul Just going to start with a non-sequitur. Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another. Proverbs 27:17 (NSRV) Piggy backing off of what Jon was talking about a couple of weeks ago Proverbs has a bunch of really cool metaphors Iron Age was after the Bronze Age Iron was more plentiful Bronze had to be cast Iron had to be hammered A real equality to this verse and this image But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood self-condemned; Galatians 2:11 (NSRV) Paul is coming into … Continue reading →
Paul Jon Am I growing in the gospel? Using truth and love in our communication 11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters. Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor? James 4:11-12 (NSRV) But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, Ephesians 4:15 (NSRV) Not just about vertical relationships (love God) but horizontal relationships (love others) Slander and judgement are interchangeable in James’ language You can speak truth and still be full of slander and judgement How do you know if you have … Continue reading →
