Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
This trailer is perfectly executed, highly produced trailer of what could be a PAC-MAC based movie. Part of me loves how perfectly this video is done. Part of me laments for the bankruptcy of my culture that some might actually think that there’s a feature-length story here that needs to be told. It’s a perfect [...]
