I took Bobby to see the movie “Tron Ares” at Landmark Cinemas in Courtenay this afternoon for Daddy/Son Chat #25. It was 3D so we each picked up a set of glasses. You can see him in the glasses in the photo to the right. He really liked the movie, and especially the cool bikes. Here’s what ChatGPT said about this movie:
Tron: Ares is a super-cool science-fiction adventure that looks like a video game come alive. The whole movie is filled with glowing bikes, flying discs, and bright neon worlds that race and flash like lightning. It’s about what happens when a program from the computer world, named Ares, crosses into the real world for the first time — and how both worlds start to collide. The music by the group “Nine Inch Nails” makes everything sound big and exciting, and the action scenes are fast and colorful. One of the main people in the story is Eve Kim, “Evie”, the boss of ENCOM, the company that built the digital world. She’s super smart, brave, and has to decide whether to trust Ares or shut him down. She tries to keep peace between humans and programs while also learning that feelings and friendship matter just as much as technology. It’s a movie full of bright lights, fast rides, cool gadgets, and a story about courage — perfect for anyone who loves action, computers, and imagination.
After the movie Bobby wanted to go to Wendy’s for a take out. He forgot to bring a jacket or wear socks, so he said it was too cold to go inside and sit down.
I told him that I have a new fishing license for this year and left the fishing pole at the door to the barn if he wants to practice his casting. We plan to go out this weekend if it’s not raining!
Katie stayed home for most of the day. She is reading the book “Fourth Wing” by Rebecca Yarros. Here’s what ChatGPT said about it:
Fourth Wing follows Violet Sorrengail, a small, book-loving young woman who’s unexpectedly forced to join a brutal military dragon-riding academy called Basgiath War College. Instead of the quiet scribe life she wanted, she must train among ruthless cadets who either bond with a dragon or die trying. Against all odds, Violet’s quick mind and determination help her survive, even as she uncovers dangerous secrets that could change everything she knows about her world. She forms uneasy alliances and a tense connection with Xaden Riorson, a powerful and mysterious rider with his own reasons for defying authority. By the end, Violet realizes that true strength isn’t about size or brute force—it’s about heart, resilience, and the courage to keep going when everything burns around you.
