Owen Wilson Frantically Forgets All His Biggest Movie Taglines on ‘Hot Ones': ‘Ever Had Someone Get Zero?'
'Stick' star Owen Wilson had his focus (and tear ducts) tested by the Wings of Death in his 'Hot Ones' interview on Thursday. Wilson was teary-eyed and grappling with the immediate effects of the show's most infamous hot sauce, Da Bomb Beyond Insanity, when he was asked by 'Hot Ones' host Sean Evans to guess movies from his filmography based on their taglines. Beforehand, he was warned that his 'Wedding Crashers' co-star, Vince Vaughn, managed to guess seven of his eight movies correctly when he faced the same challenge. Things got off to a rocky start for Wilson, though, who failed right off the bat to guess 'Hall Pass' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums' from their taglines. 'It's pretty hot. I'm having a hard time focusing my brain,' Wilson admitted. 'Vince did seven out of eight, but have you ever had someone get zero? Maybe I go a different way. Someone's already carved out that territory.' You can watch Wilson's full 'Hot Ones' interview yourself in the video below: Wilson, unfortunately, did not manage to match Vaughn's 'Hot Ones' score, and reacted with shock more than a few times throughout the quiz, including when he found out that the tagline for 2006's 'Cars' was 'Adrenaline-fueled. Heart-warming. Triumphant.' He was similarly stumped when he was asked which of his films had the tagline, 'When you can't breathe, you can't scream.' 'Well, that sounds like 'Aliens,' but I wasn't in 'Aliens,' Wilson responded at first, before asking, 'Are you sure I was in this movie?' Evans quickly replied, 'Were you in 'Anaconda'?,' to which a surprised Wilson confirmed, 'Yes! Woah. And you're right. I couldn't scream when I got eaten by the snake.' In the end, Wilson correctly guessed three out of the seven taglines that were thrown at him. While he could not nail 'Hall Pass,' 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' 'Cars' and 'Anaconda,' he did get the taglines right for 'Shanghai Noon,' 'Marley & Me' and 'Zoolander.' He may not, in other words, have topped Vaughn, but he did not do nearly as bad as he expected, either. 'It was tough, you know, making myself kind of [focus]. I was distracted by this last one,' Wilson said, while looking at the bottle of Da Bomb. 'My hands were sort of shaking.' He is, of course, far from the only 'Hot Ones' guest over the years who has been left reeling by that particular hot sauce.

Disney unveils spectacular plans... including a brand new US theme park
Disney fans will be overjoyed to learn that Walt Disney World may be introducing a whole new kingdom. A fifth sprawling theme park is reportedly in the works, according to a new Comprehensive Plan 2045 from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. The plans detail a reserved development capacity for a 'major theme park' and two 'minor theme parks' to be built over the next few decades. The new park at the Orlando resort could be expansive - mirroring the scale of other popular parks such as Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. The documents allotted 400 to 500 acres for the new park which would be Disney's first all-new gate in over 25 years. It is thought that the two smaller parks will be water parks, spanning an estimated 147 acres each. Disney fans have been eager for a new attraction since the last grand opening was Animal Kingdom way back in 1998. Walt Disney World has not officially confirmed a fifth Florida theme park - but has reached out for comment. In a map of the proposal, shared in the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District report, land has been earmarked for various uses. Among them was commercial, conservation, entertainment and hotels. The plan also revealed that the park has requested permission to build underground communication lines and facilities - known to be used by cast members to move around the parks. This latest venture comes after Disney World fans threatened to boycott the theme park after it unveiled the first major details on its upcoming Cars land. The Happiest Place on Earth announced last year that it would be getting rid of Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom's Frontierland to make way for a new Lightning McQueen-themed area. It has since revealed when it will officially be shut down - and the news has left hoards of Disney fans across the globe outraged. Tom Sawyer Island, as well as the Liberty Square Riverboat ride, will have its final day of operation on July 6, 2025. That means guests only have a little more than a month left to enjoy the serene island inspired by the stories of Mark Twain. Immediately, Disney park-goers took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their heartbreak over the announcement, and some even admitted that they no longer wanted to visit the park. 'Canceling my trip in October and sadly, will never visit that park again,' one user announced. 'This is an abomination and a real disservice to all those who booked summer trips hoping to enjoy all this one more time,' added another. 'Talk about timing. Thankful we enjoyed it recently.' 'Never going back,' someone else wrote. 'I have a lot of happy memories there, and I'll keep them.' 'Huge mistake. Huge,' a fourth tweet read, while a fifth said, 'Largest downgrade.'

The lost art of writing things down
I was once enrolled in a programming module back at university. We had been given a task, to code something, so we all sat banging out whatever code we could on our keyboards. Our professor looked around at our screens and did something that seemed bizarre at the time – he asked everyone to stop typing. "You're all being incredibly inefficient," he said, "Some of the best programmers I know never start at the keyboard. They clarify their thoughts on paper first, and when they finally get to coding, it's infinitely easier." Initially, I thought this was just academic nonsense. But reluctantly following his advice, I experienced an "ah ha" moment. Mapping out my ideas, the flow, and the outcomes on paper first helped everything flow more logically. While my coding skills were poor, there was a lot less frustration, and I knew what I was trying to achieve at each step. Years later, I find myself considering that maybe that lesson was one of the most valuable I've ever received. The scattergun approach of digital dependency That early lesson in slowing down to think before acting feels increasingly relevant today, where the rush to digital solutions often replaces the clarity that comes from deliberate, offline thought. In today's cybersecurity landscape, AI promises unprecedented automation and efficiency. Tools claim they'll automatically detect threats, write secure code or even respond to incidents. Need to draft a security policy? Ask ChatGPT. Looking for threat intelligence? Mindlessly scroll through Twitter (sorry, "X") hoping for inspiration. Trying to architect a secure system? Google for templates. This creates a scattergun approach to security thinking – firing off in multiple directions without precision, hoping something hits the mark. While there's certainly value in these tools, there's also danger in over-reliance. It feels productive because we're consuming and producing content rapidly, and maybe even solving real issues – but are we actually thinking deeply? Slowing down to go faster Just like in the movie "Cars," Doc Hudson explains to Lightning McQueen that when a car loses grip and starts to slide, you need to "turn right to go left." This means turning the steering wheel in the direction opposite the slide to regain control and steer the car into the desired direction. It seems counterintuitive. Lightning McQueen scoffs and sarcastically asks if Doc lives in opposite land. But like many things, just because something feels counterintuitive, it doesn't mean it's wrong. Sometimes you need to slow down to go faster. A few months back, I made what turned out to be one of my best investments – not in cryptocurrency, but in a fountain pen. Nothing extravagant, mind you, a relatively cheap one, but something that forces me to slow down. For this reason, British Author Neil Gaiman writes the first draft of every book by hand. He says that with a computer you "write that down and look at it and then fiddle with it." But with a pen you "slow up a bit, but you're thinking the sentence through to the end, and then you start writing." There's something about the deliberate nature of using a fountain pen. You can't rush or you'll smudge the ink. You become conscious of each word, each thought. Whether I'm working through a complex threat model or thinking through the methodology of a research paper, this forced slowdown has become invaluable. The whiteboard on my wall serves a similar purpose for bigger ideas and collaborative thinking. Those moments of standing back, marker in hand, connecting concepts with arrows and diagrams not only makes me feel like I'm a genius, but it's actually where I have the best insights. In an age where AI tools can generate ideas, write paragraphs and draft entire policies in seconds, the temptation is to let the machine think for us. But true insight rarely comes from speed alone. Sometimes, the best use of AI is knowing when not to use it—when to step away from the keyboard, pick up a pen or stand at a whiteboard. It's in those slower, analog moments where depth and clarity truly emerge. Writing as a thinking tool In cybersecurity, we're often focused on outputs, whether that be the fixed vulnerability or the secure deployment. But I've found that writing is less about the destination and more about the journey. When investigating an incident or analysing a new attack technique, writing forces connections my brain wouldn't otherwise make. The physical act of writing, whether on paper or board, engages different cognitive processes than typing. It surfaces assumptions, highlights logical gaps and often reveals entirely new avenues of investigation. Going back to my university days, it reminds me of my final year dissertation. Have I ever gone back to read it? Absolutely not. Has anyone cited it or used it for anything meaningful? Nope. But was it valuable? Unquestionably. The dissertation wasn't about the final bound document; it was about building the discipline of sustained, deep thinking. It was about learning to organise complex ideas, defend positions with evidence and structure arguments coherently. Today, with AI tools ready to summarise, generate and even argue for us, it's easy to bypass that thinking process. But outsourcing the writing often means outsourcing the thinking. AI can support analysis, but the insight—the real clarity—still comes from doing the hard work ourselves. Writing is where thought becomes visible, and in a world of instant answers, that slow, deliberate visibility is more important than ever. The AI automation paradox in security AI promises to revolutionise cybersecurity. With each passing day, new tools emerge claiming to automate everything from threat detection to incident response. And while these advancements are impressive and necessary, they simultaneously make the human element more crucial than ever. Perhaps what cybersecurity needs isn't just more automation, but a balanced approach that preserves deep thinking. In my career, the most significant attacks weren't prevented solely by automated tools; they were prevented (or successfully investigated) by security professionals who had developed rigorous thinking processes and an attention to detail that can only come from slowing down and thinking deliberately. When AI and automation promise to solve all our problems, we must remember that technology should augment, not replace, human insight. Writing things down, mapping out problems and thinking through scenarios methodically aren't outdated practices – they're timeless skills that become even more valuable in an automated world. It's not about resisting progress or technology, I embrace those enthusiastically, but about recognising that some cognitive processes can't, and shouldn't, be shortcut.
