I am intrigued by the topic of dreams right now, and while I know of many movies (Inception & Dream Scenario) about the topic, I can’t think of any books which explore dreams. I much prefer fiction please.

I am intrigued by the topic of dreams right now, but other than Inception, Dream Scenario and Waking Life, I can’t seem to discover any more movies which explore the topic of dreams. Got any recommendations?

In theory, I love movies about arena/stadium battles, such as Gladiator. But in practice, I realised how few arena battle movies I can actually think of. At this point, I’m open to pretty much anything: whether it’s gladiators fighting in an arena, or robots

I gotta be honest: I often wonder why people who pull of miracle creative feats can’t simply replicate it again and again. Let’s take Michael Jackson for example: who made Thriller, which I believe to be the GOAT album. Why couldn’t he and Quincy Jones simply - through sheer talent - make the same goodness again? Why couldn’t he make 5 other albums as good as Thriller? Why doesn’t creative energy work like that? The same goes for any other creative: seeing as The Wachowski’s were talented enough to make something as good as The Matrix, why couldn’t they simply use that same talent to make 5 more movies as good as The Matrix?

I’m always fascinated by the cycles of abuse and the fact that a lot of the biggest monsters in adulthood are also people who themselves were victimised during their childhood, only to go on and continue the cycle. Are there any movies that explore this theme?

I love fighting games the likes of Injustice and Mortal Kombat. Yet I truly don’t think I’ve seen a movie that truly captures the feel of either of those games. I’ve seen a few movies like Boss Level which feel like shooter games, but no fighting games. Can someone please recommend a movie which feels like a fighting game? Does such a thing even exist?

I hate Trump, but it’s always baffled me why many of his critics call him TACO, which stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out”, and mocks the fact that he often promises and claims to do big stuff, only to back out of them. Yet, I’ve never understood this criticism, because most of the stuff he chickens out of doing are terrible, harmful ideas, so it seems odd to me to criticise him for not doing a terrible, harmful thing. For example, my liberal friend made fun of Trump for not going through with the Gulf of Mexico idea, by calling Trump ‘TACO.’ To me, this is (metaphorically) as asinine as telling a psycho ‘haha, you said you would burn my house down and then decided not to. What a loser!’ In what way is this an effective criticism? With someone as thin skinned and aware of criticism as Trump, wouldn’t this just read as a temptation to do more of the terrible things he promises, to avoid this criticism?
