Dome Pondering Movie Review: Zootopia (2016)

What is it about?

A rookie bunny cop and perceived con-artist fox end up working together to uncover conspiracy and preserve the right of an existence where all animals live together.

Who is in it?

Ginnifer Goodwinn - Judy Hopps

Jason Bateman - Nick Wilde

Favorite Scene:

After getting a lead on a license plate, both Judy and Nick go to run the plates only to run into sloths who work in administration. The encounter is rather hilarious, and yes, slooooooooow.

Favorite Quote:

"Life's a little bit messy. We all make mistakes. No matter what type of animal you are, change starts with you."

Review:

For some reason, I am a sucker for these films. Where things that aren't people, become people, and offer significant life lessons for those of us who are people. Zootopia provides that, plus more.

The film has a nice plot that is fun for kids, and lends it self to adults on how we handle stereotypes, living among others who are different, and dealing with barriers that keep us from being who we truly are, or want to be.

Zootopia is a nice film that is worth the 90 minute run time. If you have some time, it'll provide some entertainment, and of course, help spark a light bulb or two.

Grade: 3/5

WWE Survivor Series 2023 Review: "Whaddya Wanna Talk About?"

Well, following that premium live event, in the words of Cody Rhodes... "whaddya wanna talk about?" The obvious is there, right? CM Punk, somehow, makes a bid for another moment-of-the-year candidate for wrestling fans with another "return" - his second over the last four years. This one, back to the WWE, in what felt like the most improbable of opportunities. But as we've learned, WWE truly is where you "never say never". You can go in so many directions on this one. But without going too far down a road that hasn't developed or we have some headlights on, it's quite clear that WWE is absolutely crushing the wrestling business right now, and adding anything - or anyone - to that continued record success is the mission. They. Are. Not. Settled. Second, the unveil I thought was great. Just absolute pro wrestling at its peak. As soon as the guitar riff to "Cult of Personality" hit and the familiar graphics hit the screens, my immedia

Quick Ponder: Gratitude

My sense of gratitude explodes within my heart when I cease expressing it through the tangible, but rather through, time and moments. Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 11/26/23

3 Up 1. Hostages Released - It might not be an overwhelming consensus - as this topic is so polarizing that I doubt we come to such agreements. Regardless, having innocent individuals released is a plus in the situation. I wish we still didn't have innocent people dying, but that's a whole other topic. 1a. Cease Fire - Who knows how long this will last. But the fact there is an agreement in place while hostages are being released is a plus. Take it. 2. Thanksgiving - The older I get, the more this day has a deeper focus and a sense of gratitude. Please take a moment today to focus on that among all of the chaos of food, family, friends, and everything else. 3. CM Punk Return - How cool was that? CM Punk returns to the WWE at the Survivor Series. Never say never in that company. 3 Down 1. NBA Ethics Optics - From Miles Bridges to Josh Giddey, its been really difficult lately to trust the NBA's moral compass. I'm not throwing them under the bus as they've done the
