Find inspiration. Create things you can come back to when you need to be inspired. What always inspires you?

Reading, as well as, discovering new ideas have always inspired me. I love watching old and new TV shows as well as movies. I even take notes on what is being said.

Movie Trilogies

"Movie trilogies often deteriorate, with every new entry being worse than its predecess or but in rare cases, the second film is the best. There are enough movie sequels that should not have been made, whose existence proves that adding more films to forcefully continue a film idea that apparently has franchise potential doesn't always yield fruitful results. This is why movie trilogies that peaked with the first film are particularly common with properties that weren't originally meant to be trilogies."https://screenrant.com/movie-trilogies-second-film-best/

Robin Williams

Robin Williams had one rule for every movie he made.He insisted that every single production he worked on hire at least 10 homeless people.No press. No speeches. Just quiet dignity.One of the producers once asked him why, and Robin simply replied: “Because they’re people. And they need a job more than most.”He didn’t want applause — he wanted impact. The world laughed because of him. But it’s the things he did off-camera that still bring tears.

Banned Books

Many authors, artists, and philosophers have argued that no book should ever be banned, no matter how many people it may offend. As Salman Rushdie said, “What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.” Isaac Asimov, the science fiction author and former president of the American Humanist Association, put it this way: “Any book worth banning is a book worth reading.”Despite the consensus around free speech among some of our greatest writers and thinkers, a huge number of books in the United States are frequently challenged and often banned by school districts and libraries. Ironically, many of these banned books are considered classics — titles that could quite easily appear on a recommended reading list from a professor or literary critic.

Critics

"Critics these days are often accused – usually by angry commenters who liked something that was reviewed harshly and who feel they must assert, to themselves and the world, that their opinion is right – of thinking too hard about movies. This isn't meant to be art, they say. This is entertainment. That remark is typically followed by a reminder that whatever popcorn flick isn't Citizen Kane, or 12 Angry Men, or The Godfather, as if those titles became household names by appealing only to one's higher sensibilities."https://screenrant.com/cleaner-movie-review-2025/?utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=SR-202502211623&utm_source=SR-NL&user=eWVyZW1pYWgxQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ&lctg=2601e8551f297ca765d0f12d989a6c8210428ba89874e8c86de911899de6f068
