Troy (D) Ramos Frankenstein (2025) — Creation, Loneliness, and a Surprising ConnectionGuillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025) surprised me with how emotional, lonely, and human it felt.This version leans into the philosophical side of Mary Shelley’s story — creation, consequence, and the deep sadness of a creature who never asked to exist.Oscar Isaac delivers a powerful performance, and early on I noticed a small but interesting parallel to another role he’s played before. It’s not the focus of the film or this review, but it adds an extra layer to the idea of a creator who doesn’t fully understand what he’s unleashed.In this video I t...

Troy (D) Ramos Eric Stoltz’s Dark Take on Back to the Future (And Why It Makes Sense)Was Eric Stoltz right about Back to the Future?Most fans know he was the original Marty McFly — fired six weeks into shooting and replaced with Michael J. Fox. But fewer people know the reason why: Stoltz saw the film as a tragedy.In this episode, I dig into the legend of that first table read, Crispin Glover’s criticism of the film’s message, early drafts of the script, the darker tone in Stoltz’s footage, and why both interpretations might actually be true.Back to the Future is still one of the great movies ever made — fun, iconic, ne...

Think Wise Henry David Thoreau | The Art of Being Awake“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately…”Henry David Thoreau’s reflections remind us that freedom begins in stillness.In a world built on noise and distraction, his words ask us to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the quiet rhythm of life.In this short reflection, we revisit his timeless call to simplicity, awareness, and courage—to wake fully to the moment we already live in.🎧 Listen in calm surroundings, breathe, and remember: the present is enough.#Thoreau #Philosophy #Mindfulness #Minimalism #Stillness #ThinkWise #Motivation #Calm #Meditation #Simplicity #Awareness #HenryDavidThoreau #Nature #Wisdom #Reflection #SlowLiving #Gratitude #Philosophical...

Troy (D) Ramos Memento (2000) — Truth or Purpose?Christopher Nolan’s Memento isn’t just a mystery told backwards — it’s a film about how far we’ll go to keep our lives meaningful, even if it means lying to ourselves.Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) can’t form new memories after his wife’s murder. He writes clues, tattoos his body, and hunts her killer — but when the truth finally appears, he rejects it.Memento asks a haunting question: would we rather know the truth, or keep a purpose that gives us a reason to live?This video looks at how Nolan’s structure pulls us into Leonard’s mind, ho...

Think Wise Nietzsche | The Art of Becoming Who You AreFriedrich Nietzsche challenged us to do more than express ourselves — he asked us to create ourselves.In this short reflection, I explore what Nietzsche meant by “becoming who you are,” how chaos can lead to creativity, and why life itself must be treated as art.Quotes include:“One must give style to one’s character.”“What does not kill me makes me stronger.”“One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”Watch calmly. Reflect deeply. Your life is the canvas.

Think Wise Seneca | How to Live Slow in a World That RushesSeneca reminds us that life isn’t short — we just forget to live it. This meditation reflects on the Stoic idea of slowing down, reclaiming time, and finding meaning in ordinary moments.Quotes include:“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it.” “Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.” “He who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.”Take a moment. Watch the trees move.  Time is already enough.#seneca #Stoicism #Philosophy #ThinkWise #SlowLiving #Mindfulness...

Think Wise Jiddu Krishnamurti | Freedom from the KnownKrishnamurti believed that true freedom comes when we stop clinging to our memories, beliefs, and labels.

Troy (D) Ramos Falling Down (1993) — When Losing Control Feels JustifiedWhy does Falling Down still hit so hard, more than 30 years later? In this video, I rewatch Joel Schumacher’s Falling Down (1993) — starring Michael Douglas, Robert Duvall, and Barbara Hershey — and explore the deeper connection between Defense and Prendergast. Both men feel abandoned by the world, but one chooses violence while the other finds meaning.This isn’t just a breakdown of the movie — it’s a reflection on alienation, modern frustration, and what happens when we lose control of our place in society. Falling Down captures a kind of American anger that hasn’t gone away — and might be more relevant...

Think Wise Albert Camus | The Courage to Live Without MeaningAlbert Camus reminds us that life doesn’t have to make sense for it to be beautiful. In this reflection, we explore Camus’ idea of the absurd — the clash between our search for meaning and the silence of the world. Through acceptance, rebellion, and presence, we discover a quiet courage: to live fully even without answers.#Camus #Existentialism #Philosophy #ThinkWise #AlbertCamus #Absurdism #MeaningOfLife #Wisdom #Mindfulness #Motivation #Awareness #Purpose

Troy (D) Ramos what i learned from watching “chungking express” for the first timemy first wong kar-wai film — chungking express (1994) — completely caught me off guard. shot fast, edited fast, but somehow timeless. it’s about heartbreak, loneliness, and love from two sides of the same city. one man can’t let go of a dream, the other finds someone who’s not ready to love him back.i talk about what makes this film so hypnotic: how wong kar-wai finds beauty in the in-between moments — a look, a song, a flickering light. and how chungking express captures hong kong in motion, searching for identity while its characters search for love.🎥 films mentioned: chungking expre...

Think Wise the habit mistake keeping you stuck (james clear’s rule)What separates people who achieve their goals from those who stay stuck in the same patterns?

His insights reveal why focusing on systems rather than goals creates lasting transformation.This collection explores his most powerful thoughts on building habits, designing better environments, and understanding that every action is a vote for the type of person you want to become.

Think Wise the hidden pattern that keeps you trapped – and how to break itWhat if the sounds we dismiss as noise are actually more honest than the music we choose to hear? What if the daily patterns we think trap us are actually where transformation begins?This collection explores how modern thinkers view the cycles that define our lives - from finding meaning in repetition to questioning the systems we automatically follow. These voices challenge us to see our routines differently and recognize that transformation often comes not from escaping our patterns, but from paying deeper attention to what's already here.Sometimes the most profound change happens when we stop trying to...

Troy (D) Ramos Is 1917's 'One Shot' Technique Brilliant or Misleading?Sam Mendes' 1917 is visually stunning and emotionally powerful, but is the "one take" presentation honest filmmaking or clever trickery? After rewatching the film and diving into the making-of documentaries, I explore both sides of this debate.The film wasn't actually shot in one continuous take like Russian Ark or Victoria, but it was carefully crafted to feel that way. Quentin Tarantino has criticized this approach, arguing that if you're going for the one-take vibe, you should actually do it in one take. But is that fair criticism, or is this just masterful use of cinematic technique?What do you...

Troy (D) Ramos How Movie Theaters Steal Your TimeI created my own double feature this week - Relay at AMC, then 40-Year-Old Virgin at Phoenix Theaters. What should have been 3 hours of movies became 4+ hours because I sat through over an hour of ads and previews combined. Thirty minutes before each film started.This isn't just about wasted time - it's about being asked to pay in time after you've already paid. You arrive when the showtime says, but the movie doesn't actually start for half an hour. In what other business can you advertise a start time and then just... not start?Both theaters were nearly...

Troy (D) Ramos Why Chinatown Hit Different After Learning These DetailsI've seen Chinatown maybe four or five times, but this viewing hit completely different. Learning about the backstory - the real LA water wars, the screenplay collaboration between Robert Towne and Polanski, why they changed that ending, and what "Chinatown" actually means - changed how I experienced this 1974 noir masterpiece.This isn't just about corruption and water rights. It's about the tragedy of good intentions, and why sometimes doing "the right thing" makes everything worse. Jack Nicholson's Jake Gittes never learned that lesson from his time working Chinatown - and it destroys everything he touches.I dive into the...
