Disney paid a man $60 million to "paint stripes" into the sky of old movies

 

 

One of my patients, a Hollywood producer, was given a task by Disney two years ago. He was instructed to go back and edit all the old Disney movies to add these stripes in the sky. So now, when people watch a Disney movie, they see these stripes.

People today might say, "Clinger, you're talking about these stripes in the sky as if they're something new." But then Disney can point to these old films and say, "Look at this movie from 1954, see those same stripes in the sky?" This convinces people that the stripes are a natural phenomenon. My patient was paid $60 million for this job.

‘I Am So Blessed, Fortunate, And Proud’: Gary Sinise Offers Tribute to His Late Son After Cancer Battle

 

Actor Gary Sinise paid an emotional tribute to his late son, McKenna Anthony "Mac" Sinise, nearly two months after his death from chordoma, an extremely rare cancer that attacks the spinal cord.

The "Forrest Gump" actor started with Mac's decision to join the Gary Sinise Foundation — and how proud he was of his son's desire to work with veterans, first responders and their families. He also noted Mac's love of music and his talent for drumming, which sometimes took him on the road with Sinise's Lieutenant Dan Band.

But just a year after Mac joined the foundation, both she and her mother Moira Sinise were diagnosed with cancer — she had stage 3 breast cancer, and he had chordoma — just two months apart.

"What was going on? What is chordoma? I had never heard of it. And two cancer patients, mother and son, within two months of each other? A real punch in the gut," Sinise wrote, saying That he immediately went into research mode to learn everything he could. And while Moira recovered and has since been cancer-free, Mac's cancer returned and spread.

Despite eventually being paralyzed from the chest down, Mac was able to complete a piece of music he had composed years earlier in college, titled "Arctic Circles", with the help of his former classmate Oliver Schnee and two Lieutenant Dan Band members – pianists. Started writing. Ben Lewis and violinist Dan Myers. The piece was ultimately recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles in July 2023.

“Music was so deeply in his heart that he was no longer able to play the drums, Mac's mother Moira suggested he take up a harmonica, which he did, and he began teaching himself to play. I have a dear friend, Medal of Honor recipient Sammy L. Davis, who plays harmonica, tells the story of learning to play 'Shenandoah' in the jungles of Vietnam," Sinise continued – and Mac recorded that, too.

Sinise continued, "These two pieces of music began a collaboration that expanded to Mac's vision of creating an entire album of music called Resurrection and Revival, the theme of bringing back something that was old or incomplete. Was."

But sadly, Mac will never see the finished product. “The week the album went to press, Mac lost his battle with cancer. He died at 3:25 pm on January 5, 2024, and was cremated on January 23.

“Like any family that experiences such a loss, we are grieving and we are managing as best we can. As a parent, losing a child is very difficult,'' Sinise wrote, adding that he has seen a lot of loss over the years working with the families of fallen heroes. "It's heartbreaking, and it's very difficult."

He compared his son's more than five-year-long fight to a war scene from the movie "1917".

"Mac loved movies, and we always told him that he reminded us of that soldier at the end of the extraordinary film 1917, who was running across the battlefield, bombs falling all around him, one after another hitting him Getting knocked down, yet he keeps coming back up, refusing to give up and keeps running forward.

Sinise shared a favorite quote of Mac's from St. Augustine, saying, "Mac was a man who loved his Catholic faith, and there is no doubt that his strong faith helped him survive this serious chordoma cancer for five and a half years." Provided support in the terrible battle of the year." “Lord, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”

"I am very blessed, fortunate and proud to be their father," he said.

'60s Denialism: Affirmative Action's Last Ditch Defense

 

As with many semantic corruptions, the left started it.  They trivialized the term "denialism" by applying it not to the denial of a real tragedy, but to skepticism about an imagined climate doomsday.  I would like to rehabilitate the phrase a little bit, if I could, by applying it to the denial of an historic phenomenon as real as the Holocaust and potentially as tragic.

 

I refer here to the havoc wrought by the 1960s.  Havoc came in many forms: the zeitgeist shift that undermined personal responsibility, the programs that undermined the family, and the social upheaval that glorified casual sex and single parenthood.

Only by denying the fallout from the 1960s did Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson make even the illusion of sense in their recent dissents on the affirmative action cases before the Supreme Court.  After a year of research for my new book, Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America's Cities, I know all too well the audacity of that denial.

To be fair to the '60s, the effects of this progressive mind virus had begun to surface in the previous decade.  As early as 1957, for instance, Stephen Sondheim was satirizing it in his lyrics to West Side Story's "Gee, Officer Krupke."  The psychiatrists, social workers, and judges who believe that "society" has played the young gang-bangers "a terrible trick" all come in for a deserved ribbing.
