A Twist In Time : The Discussion Thread

[MonorailRed]

I saw Moana last night... Wow! It was fantastic. Great characters and voice work, beautiful animation and wonderful music. Let me break apart what I liked:

1. The Story: It was simple and easy to follow. But, it had a lot of emotional weight and made me feel invested in the characters.
2. The Characters/Voice Work: LOVED the acting in this film and the characters that they portrayed.
3. Auli'i Cravalho: She was fantastic as Moana, especially being only 14 years old at the time of recording lines/music.
4. The Music: Lin Manuel Miranda and the rest of the team did a fantastic job. I'd say all of the songs except one flowed extremely well.

Now what I didn't like:
1. Shiny: This song was gross in my opinion. Sure, it was a cool "villain song" but it didn't exactly make me feel emotional either against or for the crab because of the passive nature of the song.
2. The realm of monsters scene also felt extremely out of place and a very sudden departure from the Polynesian aesthetic of the movie.

Overall though, I thought the movie was fantastic and I'm still listening to the soundtrack on repeat. It's so catchy.

Completely agree with all of this!

What's the project?

An "intelligent" flash card application that adapts the study sessions and quizzes to your performance.

Sounds very cool! Could you study other people decks or only ur own?

Currently only your own, but before I deploy the app I will add a means to email or share the deck with friends.

There is software that seems similar that already exists.

But it's not made by @Voxel so I don't trust it.

Correct, there is software that does this. I spent 8 months research these tools and finding a way to improve the design.. I should note that all of those software require self evaluation to understand your progress in studying which is a flaw that exists in flash cards since their conception. The goal is to provide Spacial Repetition without using self evaluation.

*Note there is no such thing has New software anymore. Hasn't been in 20 years really, its just been improvements or randomization of software over time.

Epcot 2023: Project Futuro

The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow is one of the most ambitious and unique ideas from Walt Disney - a man who had no shortage of bold and new concepts. While his city of the future never came to be, a theme park, inspired by his pursuit of progress opened in 1982. It was once a breeding ground for inventive attractions, human ambition, and the quest for "edutainment" However, lands based on progress and "futuristic" genres need to be consistently updated and enhanced, or else the futurism will feel old, dated, and out of place. These descriptions fit the Future World of today - but won't describe the Future World of tomorrow.

As part of the ambitious Project Futuro refurbishing and redoing all of Future World at Epcot over the course of the next few years - with a goal of finishing by 2023 - Walt Disney Imagineering proudly presents plans for two pavilions that are in desperate need of a refurbishment...
