Cars 1 = Beginning of childhood. All flashy, fast, exciting, and being loved by others. Also learning valuable lessons about life. Making valuable friends. Maturing and realizing that there are more things in life than just your job. Cars 2 = Primetime during your teenage years. You’re reaching your peak. The best you are. You achieve a lot and explore a whole lot of possibilities. Everything seems to be going well. Even though you hit bumpy roads, you still keep going. You’re unstoppable. Cars 3 = The beginning of the end during your adulthood. You’re fully experienced. You already accomplished a lot throughout your life. Everyday just feels like nothing is challenging for you. It seems to be going well, until something clicks. One moment and your life changes forever. You start falling apart, you start falling behind. You try everything you can to keep up with changes. But no matter what, you can’t fit in. All your memories are over. It’s just become nostalgia just to cope. Then one day, you push it so hard you lose control of yourself and crash. Now you’re here, stuck, confused, frustrated, and angry. You’ve finally accepted that you’ve grown from what you used to be. Now you have to find ways to survive.

I just saw another post in the millennials sub that asked parents if we had any regrets. This made my heart skip a bit. I’m 36 and I have three kids. My oldest son is 18, middle son is 13 and I have a 3 yo daughter. I have a lot of regrets in life but when it comes to my children there are absolutely none. I’m a single mom for the third time and it’s really hard honestly. Mostly because I have so many responsibilities, I have a house to maintain, a small rental property and two rambunctious dogs. I need to make sure all six of us are fed, clothed (not the dogs lol), healthy, happy, and progressing positively. I’m working, trying to stay home as much as I can for my youngest and making sure I spend time with them and take them on fun or educational outings. My oldest was very headstrong and honestly kind of difficult as a child but I think it was mainly bc I was young and didn’t know wtf I was doing as a parent and wanted things my way or the highway which I deeply regret. Once I stopped trying to control the situation he became much more honest and open with me and he is now a carpenter and literally makes more money than I do at the same age I was when I had him. He works three days a week as a carpenter and the other two days he watches my daughter while I go to work. The bond they have is the sweetest thing I have known in my life. He is so protective of her, treats her well and always makes sure she is safe and happy. He helps me around the house and always with his sister and I’m just so proud of the man he has become. My middle son has never given me any trouble at all. He is such a sweet natured, compassionate and intuitive kid. He is so creative and isn’t the type to be on his phone (he has one for communication of course). He is so funny and so kind. He actually got “in trouble” at school for cleaning up his friends messes when he was only trying to help out his friend as well as the teacher. He keeps his room spotless without me having to ever ask him. My daughter is amazingly smart for her age. She learns so much from her big brothers and she’s beautiful, sweet to animals and other children, just very loving and she blows me away with how much she knows and is learning. I used to own a home daycare so I’m well versed on children’s milestones at all stages of development and she really is blowing through them at lightening speed. I love how she loves “boy things” like Mario and Lightening McQueen and Sonic, and also typical girl stuff. They all make me laugh, literally cry with joy and just make me feel like I actually mean something. We are such a close knit little unit and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. I’ve had many failures in my life, and trial and errors. I’ve accomplished a lot too at my age. Of all the things I’ve done I have to say I am the most proud of the humans I’ve raised and they make it all worth it 💜

sup people of the croc family.
a few months ago i bought the lightning mcqueen crocs in eu size 48 (biggest there is) they didnt fit but my regular crocs size 48 do fit
are all "special" crocs like this or is it just the mcqueen crocs?

I missed the McQueen bundle in RL because I’m broke so with the whole Disney mega collab on the horizon I really hope to see him in the shop when that happens.
Nothing like ka-choking first place as the funny red race car, am I right?

Is you are clumsy like me don’t get them!!! I bought them originally cause I thought they looked better than normal crocs and I’ve broken my ankle 2 because of them!! If you’re accident prone I’m warning you!!! Your hospital bills will be 10x more expensive then the crocs themselves 😭😭.
I still love crocs btw I wear my light up lighting McQueen ones all the kid! It’s just the wedged truly don’t work well with my clumsiness

The second installment of my "Yes, No, Maybe So" slate of predictions, where I lay out my wide pool of contenders and weigh each of their pros and cons. My first entry for the Best Picture field was received well enough, so I figured I'd keep going. I hope these are fun to parse through and prove useful when you make your own predictions.
I'm sure I'm leaving out some viable contenders, but these are the 20 names that stood out to me the most while surveying the field:

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE

ANORA (Neon) Mikey Madison (No previous nominations; 25-years-old) Role: Anora, a Brooklyn sex worker who seizes her shot at marrying into royalty. Yes: She's carved out a nice reputation as a fearless actor. Baker is on a steady roll of mounting acclaim, and this project could really uncork her as a force of nature. No: Mikey goes for it in every role, but she's not everybody's cup of tea. Her style might be too eccentric for the median voter. Simon Rex can attest that knocking a Sean Baker leading role out of park is more useful for indie cred than Academy gold. Maybe So: If the movie nabs a big honor at Cannes -- Best Actress, perhaps? -- she'll definitely be in the conversation.
BLITZ (Apple Original Films) Saoirse Ronan (Four previous nominations; 30-years-old) Role: Unspecified, but presumably a young woman trying to survive the London Blitz. Yes: She's broken records by racking up nominations before even turning 30; a win feels more life a matter of "when" than "if." And what could be a more prime opportunity than starring in a Steve McQueen film that looks like a frontrunner on paper? No: The parameters of her role are still unclear. She might be more of a supporting player than everyone is presuming, and it's possible she doesn't even have the standout part among the cast. Maybe So: It doesn't look like The Outrun is going far in any awards conversation, but it was a very recent reminder of how much she can elevate a movie that otherwise wouldn't drum up hullabaloo. And if Blitz is strong enough, she could ride the wave on the strength of her reputation even if the role isn't a standout.
CHALLENGERS (Amazon MGM Studios) Zendaya (No previous nominations; 27-years-old) Role: Tashi Donaldson, a prodigy tennis player who becomes embroiled in a throuple with two other hot shots. Yes: She's having a helluva 2024, dominating springtime with Dune: Part Two and Challengers. She gets to be complicated, driven and highly physical in a star vehicle that worships the ground she walks on. Glowing reviews and an adult film that makes great use of her star power. No: Early release, and credit to her is heavily balanced with Faist and O'Connor (much to the movie's artistic benefit). Can she weather months of competition and short memories? Maybe So: When you've reached the level of superstardom that Zendaya has, sometimes the Academy wants to welcome you to the club at the first opportunity. When your vehicle is this good, admiration and affection can grow instead of recede over the year.
EMMANUELLE (Neon) Noémie Merlant (No previous nominations; 35-years-old) Role: Emmanuelle, a young woman following her muse through a series of erotic adventures. Yes: Merlant is a star in France and is recognizable to Hollywood thanks to her performance in Portrait of a Lady on Fire. She's pairing up with the promising Audrey Diwan. She could have a similar trajectory as Sandra Hüller last year as a respected European actor getting their crossover moment. No: A "series of erotic adventures" isn't as dramatically potent as "did this mercurial author murder her husband?", you know what I mean? The movie might be a tough sell to Hollywood, even if it's critically respected. Maybe So: The film isn't playing at Cannes, but if it makes a splash during the fall festivals then she could be in play with an increasingly international Academy.
THE FIRE INSIDE (Amazon MGM Studios) Ryan Destiny (No previous nominations; 29-years-old) Role: Claressa 'T-Rex' Shields, a boxer from Flint, Michigan who trained to become the first woman in her country's history to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport. Yes: Best known as one of the stars of the Fox series Star, Destiny could be one of the big breakouts of the year. A physically demanding portrayal of a real-life sports star in an inspirational true story could slingshot her into stardom, capped off with an Oscar nomination. No: She's not particularly well-known. Directorial debuts by cinematographers have a cursed history. The rumored release date is in August -- it might be a pure commercial play. Maybe So: Even if the movie isn't in the awards conversation, it could go a long way in elevating her for future consideration.
HARD TRUTHS (Bleecker Street Media) Marianne Jean-Baptiste (One previous nominations; 57-years-old) Role: Unspecified, but presumably the focus of the movie's exploration of the contemporary world. Yes: Reuniting with Leigh since their fruitful collaboration on Secrets & Lies, which nabbed her an Oscar nomination. It'd be great if they make magic again and are rewarded for it. No: Bleecker Street is a minor league campaigner. It's been nearly 30 years since she was nominated and her profile has quieted considerably. Mike Leigh hasn't directed anyone to an Oscar nomination since Vera Drake two decades ago. Maybe So: The BAFTA constituency could make a huge difference if they throw their weight behind her and the film.
HEDDA (No Distributor) Tessa Thompson (No previous nominations; 40-years-old) Role: Hedda Gabler, newly married and bored with both her marriage and life, seeks to influence a human fate for the first time. Yes: One of the more exciting actors of her generation, she's spent the past decade doing a mix of commercial projects and small indies. Passing was a promising step towards the awards conversation, but she hasn't been playing in that arena up until now. How about a Henrik Ibsen adaptation, reuniting with her Little Woods director Nia DaCosta? That could do the trick. No: Will the movie even come out this year? Even if it plays in the fall festivals, it might get pocketed for 2025. Play adaptations are often stagey; could this be written off as a neat creative exercise rather than the real deal? Maybe So: The material is indisputably dramatic and weighty. DaCosta could be approaching this with fire in her belly after the reportedly frustrating experience on The Marvels. If the movie is arresting, she may have crafted a great awards vehicle for her star.
HERE (Sony Pictures) Robin Wright (No previous nominations; 58-years-old) Role: Unspecified, but presumably the matriarch in a family story "capturing the human experience in its purest form." Yes: Wright is one of the most prominent actors of her generation without an Oscar nod to her name. She became an Emmy mainstay with House of Cards. Maybe reuniting with her Forrest Gump director and co-star could finally get her into the Academy club? No: Zemeckis' output has skewed more towards "disaster" than "hit" for a while now. The pretentious log line doesn't bode well for this being a well-considered return to form. Maybe So: If this actually is a return to form for Zemeckis and a great spotlight for Wright, the narrative of her being the odd one out on Gump's success can only help her case.
HIS THREE DAUGHTERS (Netflix) Natasha Lyonne (No previous nominations; 45-years-old) Role: Rachel, a dutiful daughter who reunites with her fractious sisters when their father becomes terminally ill. Yes: Lyonne's graduated to the status of national treasure over the past decade and she's gotten career-best notices for this critical hit from last year's fall festivals. Netflix is a great backer for nabbing an acting nomination. The film's overall strong acclaim only helps her. No: She shares the limelight with Carrie Coon and Elizabeth Olsen. Will they even campaign her lead, or try their luck with the supporting category instead? Industry insiders saw this performance months ago; will the appeal endure when new and shinier contenders materialize? Maybe So: The Netflix effect cannot be underestimated. Even if the film doesn't become a package contender, her performance will be seen by many and that can make all the difference.
JANET PLANET (A24) Julianne Nicholson (No previous nominations; 52-years-old) Role: Janet, a spirited mother who we see through the adoring eyes of her codependent daughter. Yes: Rapturous reviews from last year's fall festivals with career-best notices for Nicholson. A24 is a savvy distributor and Nicholson's Emmy win for her turn in Mare of Easttown has upped her profile. No: Summer release date. It's a small film, and Nicholson is one of those hard-working actors who can be easily taken for granted amid a field of showy turns. Maybe So: If critics rally around Nicholson and keep her in the conversation through awards season, this could be the indie-performance-that-could.
JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX (Warner Bros.) Lady Gaga (One previous nominations; 38-years-old) Role: Harley Quinn, an institutionalized rebel who takes a shine to Arthur 'Joker' Fleck, embarking on a bad romance together. Yes: Her casting perked up the ears of people who didn't even like the first installment. Gaga starring in anything is an event, and this sequel is a musical -- playing exactly to her strengths. Going toe to toe with Phoenix in his Oscar-winning role will leverage her star power in spades. If she steals the movie from him, watch out. No: Gaga was accepted by the Academy with a grounded performance in A Star is Born -- less so with high camp like House of Gucci. She was pointedly ignored for the latter even though her precursor run pointed towards her being a frontrunner. Does the Academy plan on being rude to her going forward, rejecting her theatrical turns and really making her work for it? Maybe So: The movie's going to be a huge hit, and you just know she'll be recording an original song. If she's a viable nominee, she feels like a threat for the win.
KINDS OF KINDNESS (Searchlight Pictures) Emma Stone (Two previous wins and two nominations; 35-years-old) Role: Multiple roles across three different stories, but the most prominent appears to be a woman searching for the messiah of a new religious movement. Yes: Stone has graduated into a rarefied league that few stars ever get to touch. She's fresh off a second Oscar and reuniting with Lanthimos, striking while the iron is hot. No: Anthology films don't lend themselves to roles that voters can glom onto. Even if she brings the house down, this might be viewed more as an exercise than an achievement, Maybe So: Stone is arguably growing into the Meryl Streep of her generation. We may have entered a new era where the Academy makes room for her no matter how unconventional the project.
THE LAST SHOWGIRL (No distributor) Pamela Anderson (No previous nominations; 56-years-old) Role: A fifty-something showgirl who must reassess her life after her Vegas gig closes up shop. Yes: Anderson has always had higher artistic aspirations than her career has afforded her. Gia Coppola has exhibited talent before, and this metatextual indie vehicle could be an ideal showcase for the 90s sex symbol's chops. No: Anderson has never been taken seriously as an actor before, and she comes with a lot of baggage. Even in an optimistic scenario, the movie might be received as a solid showcase but nothing revelatory. Maybe So: If the film makes a splash at the festivals, Anderson's narrative could be irresistible on the campaign trail. It would certainly make for one of the more triumphant stories of the season.
MARIA (No Distributor) Angelina Jolie (One previous win and one nomination; 48-years-old) Role: Maria Callas, a legendary opera singer facing the end of her life as her chronic condition worsens. Yes: Jolie is one of those movie stars where you feel she'd have a lot more nominations under her belt if she just tackled awards-friendly projects more often. She's playing a famous icon and working with Pablo Larraín, who's been on a hot streak with getting leading ladies nominated in biopic roles. No: Larraín's frosty star biopics have been received more and more coldly with each new installment. Kristen Stewart's nod for Spencer was a squeaker. Streaks are made to be broken, and this one's been on an increasingly strained thread. Maybe So: Jolie hasn't put herself out there in this arena for a while now; the sheer novelty of her starring in something this ambitious again will draw a lot of attention.
MOTHER MARY (A24) Anne Hathaway (One previous win and one nomination; 41-years-old) Role: Not entirely clear, but either the fashion designer or pop star in the film's central relationship. Yes: Hathaway's been generating some admiring press for sizzling up the (small) screen with her return to romantic comedy in The Idea of You. She's pairing up with David Lowery, who's quietly been one of the best American filmmakers out there. Could this glitzy vehicle be her return to the awards conversation? No: Is she even the lead role, or will the film tilt more towards Michaela Coel? Lowery's got an admirable body of work, but he hasn't broken through with the Oscars yet. Maybe So: Hathaway inexplicably became a punching bag for the internet after her 2013 win for Les Miz, but she's reemerged with no fucks to give towards the haters. She may be entering a resilient new era of being taken seriously again.
NIGHTBITCH (Searchlight Pictures) Amy Adams (Six previous nominations; 49-years-old) Role: A dissatisfied stay-at-home mom who begins to worry she might be turning into a canine beast. Yes: Adams is right alongside Bradley Cooper as the most recognized actor of her generation without ever taking home an Oscar trophy. She is glaringly overdue, and who better than the massively talented Marielle Heller to give her the star vehicle to finally propel her to long-awaited victory? No: The premise is aggressively strange. Adams is beloved, but her profile's been severely degraded after a series of disastrous choices. Is a whacko body horror movie going to pull her out of her career rut? Maybe So: This project was initially slated to go directly to Hulu, but Searchlight Pictures has since had an about-face and announced it will have a theatrical run. That indicates confidence, and you couldn't ask for a better distributor in the awards race.
PARTHENOPE (A24) Celeste Dalla Porta (No previous nominations; 26-years-old) Role: Parthenope, a woman born of the sea who looks for love in 1950s Naples. Yes: You could do a lot worse than making your theatrical debut starring in a Paolo Sorrentino picture. Dalla Porta is brand new, acting in some Italian TV before being cast in the titular role of the auteur's new feature. If the film is a Cannes sensation and Oscar breakout for Sorrentino, you'd imagine that the Parthenope of Parthenope would partake in the spoils. No: She's completely unknown, and Sorrentino has yet to hit with the Academy outside of the International Feature category. Will this be an actual acting showcase, or will she be relegated to being just the sensual muse of this odyssey? Maybe So: If Parthenope hits with the increasingly international Academy, she could be swept up along with the ride. Every year has a couple unknowns who are catapulted to the Oscar spotlight.
THE ROOM NEXT DOOR (Sony Pictures Classics) Tilda Swinton (One previous win; 63-years-old) Role: Martha, a long-suffering daughter who hits an unbridgeable impasse with her mother after a misunderstanding. Yes: The great Tilda Swinton teaming up with the legendary Pedro Almodóvar for his feature-length English debut. It has the potential to be dramatically rich and a spotlight of her talents. No: Will the movie even be out this year? Swinton is a legend, but she hasn't been recognized by the Academy since her win for Michael Clayton despite a string of great performances. Was it just a passing fancy that can't be replicated? Maybe So: The pedigree alone will be catnip for a savvy campaigner like Sony Pictures Classics.
THE SUMMER BOOK (No Distributor) Glenn Close (Eight previous nominations; 77-years-old) Role: A grandmother vacationing with her granddaughter on a Finland isle, where they bond over life and death. Yes: Close probably has the strongest "overdue" narrative out of any living actor, and this is a ripe role from a well-received book. The existentialism of her role only compounds how little time the Academy has left to finally recognize her. No: Will the film be out this year? Director Charlie McDowell's track record hasn't been strong enough to give a high degree of confidence for this adaptation. Maybe So: Admit it: Close made a lot of new fans by being a great sport and twerking to "Da Butt" at the 2021 Oscars. She will always be someone to root for.
THELMA (Magnolia Pictures) June Squibb (One previous nominations; 94-years-old) Role: A nonagenarian who seeks vengeance when she's robbed by a phone scammer. Yes: Squibb is probably the most beloved actor in their 90s working today, and this Sundance hit is a great showcase for her charms. No: The movie is a broad comedy and a summer release. Magnolia Pictures is a minor league campaigner. This is plainly a commercial play. Maybe So: There's something beautiful about Squibb starring in a gonzo action movie at her age. She'd be the oldest nominee ever by a considerable margin if she were recognized -- that's a juicy narrative.

Anyone else watch the first episode?
They're doing a week of live episodes and it feels like either Mulaney's audition to host a talkshow, or him wanting to get the talkshow itch out of his system.
Some big "here's money, do whatever tf you want with it" vibes and it's kind of anchoring this year's Netflix Is A Joke festival.
Richard Kind is his Ed McMahon/Andy RichteSteve Higgins. It's got an extended skit parodying HGTV, uncomfortable interviews, a robot, a wildlife segment, a Lightning McQueen joke, and a lot of LA-specific humor that went over my head because I've only visited once. (And feels like Mulaney's response to moving to LA post-rehab after being a New Yorker for years.)
Fun!

Tbh i'm still processing that information bcs it feels like a fever dream (istg seungmin just literally drop it in a live like they are attending a music show🥲). Still waiting for the confirmation tho, bcs i dont think we are supposed to know yet😭 but there has been a rumor that straykids would be on the US for almost a month. And if it is true, it's crazy bcs as far as i know these types of events are only giving invitations but i hope they put each member on their respective fashion brand bcs i would like to see hyunjin wore versace and jeongin with alexander mcqueen.

I am not quite sure if I’m just bored or lonely, or maybe both, but I would like to spend time with someone, to give updates to, tell them how my day went. Don’t worry it’s not all about me, you could also do the same with me and I wouldn’t mind if you flood me with notifications, hell I would love that.

About me: 

• 23 (turning 24 this year)
  
  • 5’7 and on the thinner side, pero healthy naman daw
  • Runs on caffeine, cannot live without it
  • Working Full time, like I said, I will always have time for you :>
  • From the yellow school (if that matters)
  • Will/might reply as fast as Lightning McQueen (ka chow)
  • From the South (Paranaque)
  About you: - Around my age hopefully - Could be taller or smoller than me hehe - Normal BMI to chubby, (just a preference, para if ever mag date tayo di nila isipin na hindi mo ako pinapakain) - Could be still in college or working. Maiintindihan ko rin if busy ka with work or acads or both. - From the South as well (pass na sa LDR please)
  

I guess that would be it? If you have made it this far and would love to send me a dm, just say hi, and give me a song recommendation or maybe your favorite coffee?

Hello, we are having a boy and have been deliberating over our boy's name for hours, days, and now a week. Initially, we plan to call him Christian, after the oldest brother of my lover. My lover has a slight affinity for designer brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen etc, and actors like Leonardo DiCaprio or Wentworth Miller etc. She wants it, but it's also acceptable if it's not possible.
Is Christian Scarson a fitting name? But his name will be a bit longer because his surnames will be hyphenated so is a middle name necessary? Thank you in advance!

Many believe that the universe is infinite and there are worlds without number, like it’s one infinitely complex mind that is inter-connected. Especially in your hippie-universe-chakra third eye spaces. So that must mean lightning McQueen must have the potential of existing.
Your dropped into that universe spontaneously one day, your still in your location but only that universes version of it. You see sentient animated cars driving around. If your exposed to the public, then FBI might do research on your or something. Realistically what would you do?

Buckle up, Cars fans! Get ready to rev your engines for a concept that'll have you saying "Ka-Chow!" Imagine the next chapter in the Cars universe featuring Lightning McQueen with a high-tech teammate: a Waymo-powered car!
https://imgur.com/gallery/M4qppPe
This futuristic addition could provide some hilarious moments. Think of Lightning McQueen and his crew encountering this newcomer, whispers spreading like wildfire about a "robot car" with artificial intelligence. Lightning McQueen, ever the competitor, might scoff at first, but maybe this Waymo car could become an unexpected ally!
Here's where things get interesting: Could the Waymo car, with its advanced technology, become Lightning McQueen's ultimate wingman? Imagine them strategizing together, the Waymo car analyzing data and suggesting race optimizations while confusing rivals with its self-driving abilities. Of course, there'd be bumps along the road (pun intended) as the other cars adjust to this new, non-traditional racer.
What do you think, Reddit? Would a Waymo-powered car make a good addition to Cars 4? How do you see their dynamic playing out? Let's hear your thoughts and creative ideas for this potential Pixar sequel!

So many things went wrong last night.
1.) Defensively we sucked and allowed way too many open shots either at the rim or from the 3pt line. Miraculously we found ourselves up with ~30 seconds left
2.) Mitch fouling on the 3 when up 2 possessions.
3.) Josh Hart missing free throws in the clutch
4.) Miles Mcbride not being able to hear Thibs demanding that he foul Maxey before getting off a three is marginally an issue. ( Lightning McQueen could have easily thrown the ball up and gotten a four point play again + the garden was loud af) this brings me to my last point.
5.) Thibs not calling time out to get a good shot off with 8 seconds left, or during the possessions before this. ( despite everything that happened to this point, this is the one thing that required no athletic ability, endurance, or talent and needed to happen )
6.) OT was pretty much a loss as soon as maxey tied the game
You can mention Brunson’s “hero ball” but honestly the inability of anyone else to make a shot in create in those moments will be this teams downfall. Playing 7 guys when we have 1 superstar while the other team plays 8 and has 2 stars will be a tough situation to win.
TLDR: HOW do we come back from an L like that!?
