  1. Out of curiosity are you watching movies from the list we receive in Stephen’s video production class? I have been watching movies that I can remember from that class but I lost the list :/

  2. By the way upon thinking about it A Bug’s Life isn’t the Magnificent Seven (even though that’s what they say it is). It’s actually The Three Amigos, which is itself a mutation of the Magnificent Seven.
