Final: Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension

         When discussing what film to pick for our final, my group talked about a number of different contenders. Soylent Green, Sorry to Bother You, Blade Runner 2049... but all those movies, though deep and high budget, were really depressing. Sure, there are glimmers of hope and the everyman hero manages to expose the truth to some success, but none are really fun .          We started talking about sci-fi movies and shows we watched as kids, How to Build a Better Boy, Zapped, Phil of the Future, and others were discussed. But none of them held as much nostalgia for us as the TV movie Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension .  Fun machines, secret agent animals, robots, songs, familiar characters, and cartoon logic all made this the perfect pick as far as we were concerned.

The Fifth Element: Fashion Show

      I absolutely loved this assignment. Even though my hands are covered in paper cuts  and hot glue burns, I had a great time making my outfit.  This wasn't what I thought I'd be doing in the honors program, but I'm not complaining at all.

My shirt and shorts were thrifted, and my corset was a part of my Halloween costume. The skirt was a labor of love. It's made of cardboard from album covers and mail as well as the September issue of Vogue. It fell apart at the last minute, but I've watched enough

Time Travel video

        Our time travel video was inspired by how everyone's priorities are the here and now rather than helping preserve or improve the world for the future. Alivia is more concerned about who she has a kid with than that her great-great-great-great granddaughter and the rest of humanity are living underground after nuclear armageddon and the flood. Our movie is too big of a file to upload on Blogger, so here is the link to it:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/sfjbn515kfsvcr8/Time%20Travel.mp4?dl=0 Here is our script:   Two women are sitting at a table, typing on laptops. They are approached by a third woman.      Time traveler: Hello, (name)?      Great grandma: Yeah, that’s me?     Time traveler: Oh my god it’s you!  You’re my great-great-grandmother! I’m from 2 122 and I have a very important message for you.      Great grandma: There’s no way. Even if you really were from the future, I don’ t want kids!     Great grandma’s friend: Accidents happen.      Time traveler: Yeah, even
