Just wanted to say thank you for taking part in the creation of The Burbs. It came out when I was 5 and it's probably in my top 5 as far as number of times I've seen a movie. I can literally throw it on whenever and get that warm, fuzzy, home feeling. I know it line for line and it still cracks me up.

What's your personal favorite scene from The Burbs? Either how it turned out in the final product or even just how much you enjoyed filming the scene.

And RIP to Rick Ducommun who just passed away. Love his character in the movie and the many other movies of my childhood he was a part of.

Did it hurt when you died?

Wondering the same thing. The standard arenas are good and I'm glad you have different iterations so they look a little different, and the replay value is essentially endless, but custom arenas could add a whole new dimension to the game. Obviously, they'd have to be accessed separately so people who don't want to deal with them don't have to.

Or even a game mode with a smaller goal. I see a lot of luck goals in Rocket League. Playing with a smaller goal would require more skill.

My research, case studies, and experience have shown that we've left the old Industrialist way of thinking, we no longer see people as machines to be maximized.

Can you define who "we" are? Because I'm pretty sure the people responsible for keeping us in our current state of maxed out stress and obsessive work culture absolutely still subscribe to this way of thinking because it benefits them.

How do you believe we're going to transition to a culture that fundamentally changes how we value work culture and shifts to a lesser hours per week lifestyle? Because the way I see it there will always be massive pushback from people with more resources and influence than the average worker has. The only options I see are violent revolution or virtually every worker coming together in solidarity to demand it. And from what I've seen in my life, the odds of that solidarity happening are REAL low. Largely because people are too poor and busy struggling through their own lives to make that kind of movement happen.

Not that I don't want it. I think it's insane that we work as much as we do throughout our relatively short lives. Spending way more time with co-workers than the people we love. Kids not being raised right because their parents just aren't around them enough. It's absurd. I just don't see it changing, especially in our lifetimes.

Anyone else grow up thinking they'd get to travel on a commercial flight to the moon before they died?

Born too soon.
