Salutations.

It is now 8:40 AM EST for me.

Before I continue with the advice, I want to continue with the advice I was giving to the men who chose to buy jeans, the ones that were just wearing sweatpants before. Um, this part of the advice addresses what to do while you are changing your inseam(the length of the jeans). In my opinion, since I’m not a professional concerning clothes, once you determine your jeans inseam, then even if your weight changes, your inseam should remain the same. You’re just doing this once.

I’m assuming that all of you have jobs, so you’ve decided to wear a pair of jeans once a day. If you buy 9 pairs of jeans, you can use 7 of those jeans for the work week, and I’m assuming that you do your laundry once a week. The other 2 pairs of jeans will allow you to send 2 pairs of jeans to your chosen tailer to change your inseam. I’m assuming that your tailor can do it within 1 week. So, every week, you can go to your tailor and give him/her 2 pairs of jeans. To save some time, when you go to your tailor to pick up those 2 pairs of jeans, also be prepared to give that tailor 2 pairs of jeans that you want altered. That way, you don’t have to make 2 trips to your tailer in one day, just one trip.

In my opinion, the reason it’s taking you so long to find your inseam is because you’ve been wearing sweatpants for so long. You’ve gotten used to it’s convenience. And since I’m assuming you’re using the more relaxed choice as to what belt hole to use for your jeans, that selection caused the bottom of your jeans to have more slack. As you are walking, there’s a lot of jeans that collect by your shoes, causing you to decide to take more inseam out. Like I said earlier, once you finally discovered what your true jean inseam is, you don’t have to go through all of that anymore, even if your weight changes later.

Earlier today, I have decided to give you a story idea instead of a strategy idea. This is going to be a little tricky to explain, but the reason is for a movie you are not required to watch for this advice, and yet the reason I’m giving you this advice is because of that movie. If you choose to watch it, you can just take the inappropriate scenes out of it, and as for what you actually watch, none of it is used for this idea, and yet you may watch it anyway, since I’m making the advice because of it. In my opinion, even though I’ve never played the game before, both movies being recommended is like the game ‘Cluedo’, explained in Wikipedia, and they’re both like the tv series ‘Elementary(2012-2019)’, starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes. Both movies being recommended are, according to www.imdb.com, crime drama comedy movies. And so, if you take the inapproprieities out of both movies, you can use it’s entertaining presentation as something that encourages you to think, as you are encouraged to solve the mystery, refurbished with inaproprieities removed for the advice.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out MysteryYou don’t have to watch the 2nd movie, ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’, which Netflix will begin streaming on December 23, 2022, this coming Friday, but the idea is based on the 1st movie, ‘Knives Out’, which is not available streaming from Netflix as of now, but you can rent and/or purchase it streaming from Amazon.com. According to Amazon.com, I only recently purchased and watched the streaming version of ‘Knives Out’ on December 4, 2022, less than 2 weeks ago. The reason I watched it was because it’s sequel, ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’, was going to stream in Netflix December 23, and I wanted to see what the big deal was about if I was going to watch the ‘Glass Onion’ movie. As I watched the movie ‘Knives Out’, I eventually liked it, because the main character, Benoit Blanc(Daniel Craig), eventually proved to me to be entertaining enough to watch, but I had to continue to watch the movie before I developed that appreciation. (In my opinion, he acted too much like Insp. Jacques Clouseau(the ‘Pink Panther’ movies) in the beginning before he started to make sense).

So, to be clear, the ‘story idea’ will just be based on the ‘Knives Out’ movie, and the 2nd movie is used as an incentive to watch the 1st movie. Here’s a short quote from wikipedia.org about it:

‘ Following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022, Glass Onion began a one-week limited theatrical release on November 23, 2022, receiving the widest theatrical release ever for a Netflix film. Netflix will begin streaming it on December 23. Glass Onion received critical acclaim, with praise for its screenplay, direction, performances and score, and was named one of the best films of 2022 by the National Board of Review. ‘

It is now 9:51 AM EST for me. I am going to look for that music video and trailer now. As soon as I prepare them, later today I’ll start typing again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 11:26 AM EST for me.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time and, refurbished for advice, choose to be used for this advice is called ‘Summertime’ by FLO. I found it from my ‘signed-in’ youtube homepage. On the left side, category ‘Subscriptions’, I selected category ‘Music’, scroll down to ‘New & Trending Songs’, press the (>) button until you see option ‘R&B Wave’, and the 1st option is also the option used called ‘Losing You’ by FLO. Select publisher ‘FLO’, select ‘VIDEOS’, and the music video ‘Summertime’ is in that selection.

What I want to address 1st is the review I found by searching in www.google.com for phrase ‘flo summertime music video reviews’. The link that I chose is ‘https://www.indiependent.co.uk/music-video-review-summertime-flo/. Here is a quote:

‘ Directed by Saorla Houston, the visuals follow the trio’s members — Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer — as they embark on a trip from their home in London to Greece.

At its core, ‘Summertime’ beautifully ties in all the key elements of an unforgettable summer: letting your hair down, enjoying the sunshine, and making the most out of every single day together with your closest friends. “Wanna dance to the beat ’til I pass out, hey / I’m tryna kick it with my ladies,” Renée excitingly reveals just before the first chorus.

Just like the title of the track suggests, the feel-good music video is full of glee and excitement. Some of the shots see Houston’s directorial vision embrace the home video-slash-vlog approach, allowing the girls to self-document their adventures abroad.

Such a creative direction takes the viewer on a trip down memory lane; with a sense of reminiscing one’s very own summer ventures… ‘

So, in my opinion, it’s like 3 women on vacation, and they made a music video about it.

In my opinion, music videos in general are made to be watched by the general public, but that does not necessarily mean that they are appropriate to be watched for all ages, especially kids, and I am trying to select music videos that people can generalistically watch, especially kids if they choose to. With this one, I just have to refurbish it a little. You don’t have to watch any music video or trailer if you don’t want to, but if you choose to, then I want to present it to you in a form that is watchable.

So, here’s a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Summertime’ that I’m addressing:

Wanna party (Yeah)
Wanna wile out (Yeah)
Wanna dance to the beat till I pass out
Ay, ain’t tryna have nobody’s babies
Baby (I’m not)

So, if you read the review, they’re just having a good time, so to clarify:

Ay, ain’t tryna have nobody’s babies

The lyrics are explaining that they’re just trying to have a good time, that they’re not doing certain things.

I’m addressing 2 scenes from the music video ‘Summertime’. 38 seconds into the music video, one of the singers said something, but it was censored with the word ‘FLO’ covering her mouth. I didn’t hear what she said, and the word ‘FLO’ was covering her mouth. 53 seconds into the music video, one of the singers while in the hotel room wearing a bath robe was moving her right hand and arm. I don’t know what that is, but it may cause you to think that it may be something inappropriate.

And that’s it. After reading that, I recommend that you just watch the music video according to what the review said it was, and if you just think that you saw something inappropriate and you’re not sure, try not to let it bother you from enjoying the music video. 3 women enjoying their vacation. That’s how I recommend that you watch it.

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ’65’. Here’s a quote from wikipedia.org:

‘ 65 is an upcoming American science fiction thriller film starring Adam Driver and written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.

“After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills quickly discovers he’s stranded on Earth… 65 million years ago. Now, with only one chance at rescue, Mills and the only other survivor, Koa, must make their way across an unknown terrain riddled with dangerous prehistoric creatures (including dinosaurs) in an epic fight to survive.”

Originally, I selected the trailer mostly because of celebrity Adam Driver’s performance. It looks like he is adding more variety to his public performance portfolio. But when I read that quote from wikipedia:

‘ Now, with only one chance at rescue… ‘

I want to know how it’s even possible that they can be rescued.

From my ‘signed-in’ youtube homepage, I used one of the publishers presented, ‘FilmSpot Trailer’, selected that, selected ‘VIDEOS’, and then selected ‘BEST UPCOMING MOVIES 2023 (Trailers)’, as of now, was published 2 days ago with 156 thousand views. The trailer for ’65’ was the 1st trailer presented in that collection of trailers.

You can also watch trailer ’65’ by searching in www.youtube.com for phrase ’65 trailer’. The selection that I recommend is ’65 – Official Trailer (HD)’ from publisher ‘Sony Pictures Entertainment’. It was published 3 days ago and has 11 million views. In my opinion, if the selection has a high view count, then it should also have a lot of comments available. Even though I only look at a few of them, ‘the more comments, the more quality’, in my opinion.

It is now 12:40 PM EST for me.

The idea that I created from the movie ‘Knives Out’ will use a scene near the end of the movie ‘Bad Boys For Life(2020)’ starring Jacob Scipio as Armando Aretas, and Will Smith as Detective Lieutenant Michael Eugene ‘Mike’ Lowrey. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 57 minutes, and 34 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Detective Mike Lowrey: ‘How you doing?’

Armando Aretas: ‘I’m paying my debt. (sigh) It’s a big one.’

Detective Lowrey: ‘Opportunity may have presented itself for you to pay down some of that debt. You interested?’

Armando Aretas: ‘Yeah, man.’

Keep in mind that this is just imagined. If you compare the character Ransom Drysdale(Chris Evans) to Armando Aretas, what crimes they have committed, in my opinion, Ransom Drysdale almost looks like an angel! And yet, Armando Aretas’ father, Detective Lowrey, made a deal with the government to allow his son to do something that will take some time off of his prison sentence. I made up a name for that. I call it a ‘work release’ program. So, as I imagine it, I don’t know if it’s true, it’s possible that a person with jail time can participate in a ‘work release program’ that will allow that person to work outside of prison in order to remove some or maybe all of their jail time.

I changed a few of the characters from the movie ‘Knives Out(2019)’, but not their names, so there’s going to be a few character paradoxes(any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature) in the story, and here’s the story:

Benoit Blanc(Daniel Craig) visits Ransom Drysdale(Chris Evans) in jail, and offers him a ‘work release program’ option. This Benoit Blanc is not the same Benoit Blanc from the movie ‘Knives Out’, but a CEO offering Ransom Drysdale the opportunity to rebuild his life after what he did without spending any more time in jail.

So, here’s the situation involving Benoit Blanc: I imagined a boy seeing something unusual, and he says ‘Where’s Batman?’ for contemplation continuity. My point is that, for kids, teenagers, and adults, for certain people people in general have never encountered before, the only example that comes close to describing them is the comic book/movie superhero known as Batman. Like the story ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, when the child said that the emperor is naked(story found in wikipedia.org), kids can just say it. But can adults experience something like that? Even though I just imagined it, for this story, I believe it can happen. People in general are not CEOs, so I just imagined a CEO that looks like character Benoit Blanc(Daniel Craig) is such a man. If a normal non managerial employee adult has an idea of what Benoit Blanc does, the only person that he/she knows that even remotely compares to what he does is Batman. No, he doesn’t run around fighting crime wearing a Batman costume, and no he doesn’t act like the character Stingray from the tv series ‘Stingray’, but for imagination purposes, he still fits the bill, so to speak.

So, Ransom Drysdale agreed to work for Benoit Blanc, and right in the beginning, in a manner of speaking, it’s like Benoit Blanc is Batman, and Ransom Drysdale is Robin.

Overlapping:

As I was making this idea, the 1st idea that I invented was called ‘Overlapping’. I invented a way of explaining it where Benoit Blanc would narrate the explanation, but he never actually made such a narration. As he was explaining it, he described a few of his employees that he usually interacts with as all being ‘Napoleon’ employees. When Ransom Drysdale started working for him, right in the beginning, Ransom wanted to be a ‘Napoleon’. Now, even though such jobs were already taken in his company, a situation that I call ‘Overlapping’, since it is his company, he gave all of those employees he interact a lot with ‘Napoleon’ authority. (The name ‘Napoleon’ is from Napoleon Bonaparte[a] (born Napoleone Buonaparte; 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821), later known by his regnal name Napoleon I,[b] was a French military commander and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. You can find more information in www.wikipedia.org). So, essentially, everyone in his team are Napoleons, they have Napoleon authority, even though such jobs are already taken in his company.

And that is how Ransom Drysdale met his girlfriend Marta Cabrera(Ana de Armas). Of course, not the same Marta Cabrera from the ‘Knives Out’ movie, but she looks just like her. They will eventually get married, but right now, Ransom is still in his Napoleon phase. Since Marta Cabrera also works for Benoit Blanc, and she knows that Benoit gave Ransom, her boyfriend, Napoleon authority, she learned to also use the concept of ‘Overlapping’. So, in a certain moment, when Ransom is assigning tasks to Marta, it looks like Ransom is giving unfair liability to Marta, but in reality they are using the ‘Overlapping’ idea, which involves using assignments and project identities that others in the company are already using and already have obligated to. But if you are not aware of that, and you are just overhearing them, then from your perspective without the whole story it may look like Ransom is treating her unfairly.

So, a few years go by since Benoit liberated Ransom from jail. Ransom resolved all of the issues with his family, gave them lots of money, resolved the issue with the original Marta, he even owns his own mansion. And finally, Ransom is starting to talk to Benoit like the way he used to talk to his grandfather Harlan Thrombey(Christopher Plummer), and he asked Benoit a question as to what he thinks about him, a question that may have an answer that Ransom may not be ready for. Benoit refuses to answer that question, stating that he already has all the things that he wants. Why does he need to know that answer?

Not need reciprocation to do certain things:

It is now 2:00 PM EST for me.

I’m now getting to the part of the story where Benoit Blanc is sitting in front of a table looking at one of Batman’s capes that he purchased from an auction. It seems that, in one of Batman’s exploits, he removed his cape for some reason. As Benoit is looking at it, his eyes widens, and he sees that Batman, whoever he is, interacts with many project participations without needing reciprocation from others. Notice that the people that he interacts with the most, all of them, including Ransom, need that Napoleon authority, but according to Benoit’s imagination, even though Batman is running around fighting crime wearing a Batman suit, he is also participating in many projects without needing reciprocation from others, and Benoit believes he is learning from knowing that.(Knowing what? He just imagined that!)

It is now 2:08 PM EST for me. I am going to close this list now. Next Saturday, I’ll probably just type in a few ideas that I will invent within the following days leading up to it, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
