That's because 5^7 = 78125. I know it's insane but I found it interesting to share how many outcomes there'd be if all 7 played together
At the time it came out it was believed Toy Story 3 grossed $1.063 billion and it was believed it was the 5th highest-grossing movie in the world at the time (behind Avatar 1, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 2) and the 2nd highest-grossing Disney movie (behind Pirates of the Caribbean 2). However in 2016 the gross of Toy Story 3 was corrected to $1.066,9 billion, which means it actually was the 4th highest-grossing movie in the world (behind Avatar 1, Titanic and The Lord of the Rings 3) and the highest-grossing Disney movie ever (surpassing Pirates of the Caribbean 2) until The Avengers 1 in 2012. This also means Pirates of the Caribbean 2 held the record for 4 years instead of 6 like it was initially believed
The R-rating didn't actually exist when the movie came out. It was re-rated to R in 1984 or something. This means it technically was the highest-grossing R-rated movie in the world retroactively until it was surpassed by Midnight Cowboy in 1969 (which was originally X-rated but later it was re-rated to R too)
I thought it would be fun to list all possible combinations

I sometimes daydream about sad scenarios and it makes me sad. For example I sometimes imagine scenarios where I imagine myself playing a character who has a crush on 2 much older female friends played by Emma Watson and Jennifer Lawrence despite the fact they're over 10 years older than him (they're both 13 years older than me in real life although Jennifer Lawrence was 51 days away from turning 13 when I was born). I always imagine the characters taking it well while still reminding him he can't be in a relationship with them and how normal it is
I think it probably makes me sad because my mother died 10 months ago and these kind of daydreams remind me of beautiful talks I had with my mother
Also because of my mother's death I often kill off my self-insert's mother in my daydreams too
These would be mine
Remove dress codes from places that normally have dress codes in real life or scenes where very few characters follow a dress code but nobody cares
Characters who hate politics or removal of politics
Scenes where characters eat burgers and/or eat pizza
Dead mothers (inspired both by my mother's death and Steven Spielberg's trademark of absent fathers)
Normalizing things that are usually considered wrong in real life (for example characters refusing to vote in elections and everybody's ok with it)
Evilize characters who follow social norms I find stupid (for example scenes where a client gets offended because an employee attends them without a suit but the client is framed like the one being unreasonable)
Homages to some of my favorite directors like Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron and Alfred Hitchcock
Mostly female casts because I'm mostly into female actresses than male actors including always casting the same actors like Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence and/or Alexandra Daddario
I hate being told how to dress. Once my late mother annoyed me by saying I should've worn a buttoned shirt for a restaurant on her birthday. It greatly annoyed me and my father sided with her. Also my parents forced me to wear jeans at home during birthday parties at home but ironically enough they still allowed me to keep my sweatshirt. Also my father forced me to wear black at my mother's funeral. It really sucked. My father had literally told me I could go how I wanted
I strongly advise you parents to stop telling your children how to dress. In fact I strongly advise you to stop forcing dress codes on events you host. People are gonna be mad
EDIT: If people accuse you of being disrespectful because of your clothes they're the real jerks not you. It's all a lie invented by a person who believes it's ok to dictate clothes
Dress codes serve for nothing. They don't dictate whether you can do your job or not. If clients get offended because you aren't wearing a suit it's their problem not yours. People shouldn't even be paying attention to your clothes. Period. If I was the boss of an industry I'd allow my employees to dress how they want
I only agree with the dress codes for protection and the ones for places where employees need to be moving around so customers can easily identify them but otherwise they suck
When I was a kid my parents always forced me to go to places I didn't want to go to like houses of their friends, birthday parties I didn't want to go to, etc. They always complained when I tried to get them to leave completely ignoring the fact I didn't want to go. I do admit I now willingly agree to go to places more often but I still hated being forced to go against my will. I'm not saying parents should allow their children to do literally everything they want but force their children to go to places they don't want to go to is just dumb for me. If I ever have children I'll never take them to places they don't want to go to. I'll also always let them dress how they want in places where my parents forced me to change my clothes
