"Everything's amazing... nobody's happy."
I made my kids watch this on Friday.
This is medicine which can help people of any ideology. It's best delivered to kids in a comedy routine format with lots of audience cheers for affirmation. The grouchy old dad has a higher chance of being summarily dismissed.
I like how he busts on us Gen-X-ers for complaints about those people with the irritating phone numbers with the high numbers and zeroes. Making the 30-year trip across the country kind of puts the "making sparks" style of dialing into perspective as well.
I remember an old priest, Father Murphy, who was on a pilgrimage to Rome I made in 1998 talking with amazement about our flight. "Isn't technology wonderful to have enabled us to come to this ancient city?" He was talking the way everyone should be thinking (thank you Nicholas Cage.) People need to be more amazed and more content. Or if they aren't content with their devices, go build a better one.

It's stuck in my head...
...so share the wealth. Before you hit play, recognize that Tobuscus is NSFB: Not Safe For Brain. I thought about setting autoplay on, but I decided that would be too mean.
Hat tip goes to my kids, of course.

Speaking of film....
Here's one to put in your queue: The Informant! Highly entertaining and based on a true story. I won't put spoilers here in the post, but feel free to post as many as you like in the comments if you've seen it and you like it.

Teen World Savers 2
This was awesome!
I cracked up at the part where we learn that Glenn's character's name is Disaster. I was wondering what his name was.
The wizard reminded me of the "Sphinx" character played by Wes Studi in Mystery Man.
Great job, Joshua. The soundtrack rocked.

More Adventure is On the Way!
I heard a rumor that Teen World Savers 2 is on it's way. I can't wait! The first episode was a smash hit, so please review.
Here's a teaser trailer for the 2nd episode.
Yeah, saving the world is cool enough, but even cooler if you are a teenager.
