So, one of the richest people in Australia wants to construct Titanic II. Well, “wants” is the wrong world, he “is” constructing Titanic II. He’s commissioned a state-owned Chinese company to construct the ship. But wait, there’s more, he’s going to build it with the exact dimensions of the original ship, you know, the one that’s at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Doesn’t this seem a bit odd?
Doesn’t it seem like he’s really tempting fate here?

Recently, I watched the movie Real Steel. Honestly, I wasn’t sure why I had chosen it, but if it was a Rocky with robots, that’d probably be something I could get behind or at least enjoy watching. But what I got was a social commentary of boxing and the future by writer Dan Gilroy.

Preston Tucker, I hardly knew ye. No really, I had no idea who you were. Then, I saw you’re car at America On Wheels. I heard there was a movie about you and that I watched, because you went up against the big guys. You challenged the conventional thinking, you’ve been called “ahead of your time” and “a generation too late.”
That’s pretty iconic and yet the legacy isn’t well known.
