Plan Truster



My son turned 11 and asked for sushi for his birthday dinner. Done. Made the reservation. Then my in-laws called. They were coming into town and wanted to get together. I invited them along. One problem. My sister in law doesn't eat anything with Asian origin. Says it gives her migraines. For years we'd rearranged plans around this without question. I sat down with my son. Me: Hey. Your aunt doesn't really do Asian food. Would you consider somewhere else? Him: (looked at me) Him: It's my birthday. Me: I know. Him: I want sushi. Me: (fair) I called the in-laws. Explained everything. Told them they were welcome to come to ours the next day for the Superbowl instead if the restaurant didn't work. Them: We want to see you both days. Me: Then we'll see you both days. I figured that was their decision to make. We showed up to the restaurant. My son ordered everything he wanted. My sister in law sat down, looked at the menu for a long time, and ordered edamame and white rice. She was fine. No migraine. My son ate sushi until he could not move. Him: (on the way home, completely full) Him: Best birthday. Me: (looked at him) Me: Yeah? Him: Can we do this every year? Me: (thought about the in-laws) Me: (thought about the edamame) Me: (thought about his face at that table) Me: Absolutely.

Amon Göth in Schindler’s List (1993) may be one of the most terrifying villains in film history. What makes him so frightening is not intelligence, power, or theatrical evil — but cruelty without reason. In the haunting “Balcony Hunt” scene, Göth casually shoots prisoners from his balcony as if human life means nothing. One moment calm, the next violently unpredictable, he turns fear into something constant. Amon Göth is terrifying because he doesn’t feel like a movie villain. He feels real.
