BORN IN RUSSIABeing born here or there, into a rich or poor family, is so incredibly random that sometimes we forget just how much life resembles a roll of the dice—one we don't even get to throw ourselves. Think about it: coming into this world is literally the universe’s biggest lottery, and it's absurd how something we have absolutely zero control over defines us from day one.
Some people land straight into mansions with swimming pools, surrounded by privileges they never even asked for. Others are born between bare walls and leaking roofs, facing limited chances from the moment they open their eyes. And here's the kicker: no one earned the conditions they're born into. There’s no merit, no initial effort—just pure chance.
Whether we're born lucky or unlucky massively shapes our paths: education, health, opportunities, even our dreams and aspirations. Sure, there are those who preach that "where there’s a will, there’s a way," but reality is much harsher. Our randomly assigned starting point can either turbocharge our lives or slam on the brakes right from the start.

OFF-CAMERA MOMENTSThere’s something oddly beautiful about seeing movie heroes and villains getting along like old friends. Like they paused the explosions for a sec just to snap a photo, share a drink, or take a selfie with zero hard feelings.
Bruce Willis and the bad guy from Die Hard, hugging and toasting like the Nakatomi Plaza was just your average office party. Arnold filming a selfie video with Predator, like “you tried to rip my head off, but man, what a blast we had.” And Sarah Connor, full “I survived the apocalypse” vibe, casually posing with the T-800 as they share an ice cream like two besties at a county fair.
It’s like the script takes a break, the action freezes, and for a moment, it’s just two people having a laugh.

BUT HEY — AT LEAST WE’VE GOT THISWe don’t have flying cars. We don’t have hoverboards like in Back to the Future. No colonies on Mars, no robots making us coffee in the morning, no self-drying clothes, no food in pill form, no cure for the common cold, no suits that make us invisible, no Star Wars-style holograms, no teleportation, no virtual vacations like in Total Recall, no time machines, no personal jets to get us to work, no chips that teach us kung fu in 10 seconds or implants that translate languages instantly…
But hey — we do have this.
