MF: Legs, Soul, The Lakers

Quote

“I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, ‘I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean.’ ‘The ocean?’ says the older fish. ‘That’s what you’re in right now.’ ‘This?’ says the young fish. ‘This is water. What I want is the ocean.’” - Angela Bassett in Soul

Something to Watch - Soul

If you’re still trying to figure out what the meaning of life is, you’re not alone. If you have figured it out, please reply to this email immediately. But, if you haven’t, fear not. It’s been delightfully trojan horsed into this wonderful Pixar film called Soul. 

Voiced by Horrible Bosses’ finest performer, MotherFucker Jones (Jamie Foxx), he plays Joe, a middle school band teacher whose life hasn’t panned out how he hoped it would. But, after unexpectedly dying (kind of) on the brink of his big break, he’s sent to another realm to mentor someone to find their passion and might just unexpectedly learn what it means to have a soul along the way.

This movie won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature but somehow still feels like it deserves more. Once more, it’s just delightful. Whether you’re 8 or 80, this is for everyone.

Something to Think About

The Los Angeles Lakers have the name because of their first home, Minnesota, which is nicknamed Land of 10,000 Lakes. Unfortunately if Minnesota wins on Wednesday they get the name back and the Lakers will become the Los Angeles Basketball Guys.
