I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

That is putting it very mildly.

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”

If you want ceiling tits, you better pull yourself up by your ceiling bootstraps.

Sorry. Can’t pay attention to this thread. Too busy typing 5318008 into my calculator.

Hey, it’s the door of our bathroom!

Maybe you shouldn’t.

Tom said he was my friend, but did he offer to help when I was moving to a new apartment?

“You either fight the Kevin or you become the Kevin.”

Death to Smoochy is such a good movie. It was just terribly marketed.

My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel’s original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.

But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.

I really do not know why Dredd didn’t get a sequel. I thought it did pretty well in theaters.

I love every stupid minute of SolarBabies.

“You are Chikani!” is one of my favorite badly-delivered bad movie lines.

If you have not heard the episode of How Did This Get Made about it, you should definitely give it a listen: https://www.earwolf.com/episode/solarbabies-live/

You are not the first person I have read say it about that movie, so I am definitely going to have to check it out.

That movie is so highly underrated.

The Hamlet trailer is worth watching it for alone.

Breakfast of Champions - I don’t care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.

Mystery Men - Again, I don’t care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.

Titan AE

The female version of Ghostbusters.

Zardoz.

Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.

That’s my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That’s what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it’s sometimes worth converting.

You’re not learning anything if Copilot is doing it for you. That’s the point.

Like pretty much every scene he’s in when he’s in the Spy Kids movies.

People who grew up with those movies must be in for a real shock if they ever end up watching Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
