For me, fan score is a separate axis (how much fun is the film).

It’s made by US Robotics, so it must be a positronic brain.

I think there’s a fine line between collaboration and committee (members of a band can collaborate to make good music). But capitalism definitely works against art.

Fifth Element was at the top of my movies that I would stop and watch when scrolling cable channels alongside Top Secret, Clue, and Shawshank.

You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Planet of the Apes
• The Secret of NIMH
• many John Wayne movies including True Grit

Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

“Everything excellent is as difficult as it is rare.”

Baruch Spinoza, Ethics (1677)

They might be referring to the Warner Brothers disc rot issue announced earlier this year (affecting some mid 2000s dvds). Ideally, things are made well and last a long time when stored properly.

The thousand injuries of Fascists I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

Most app devs fuck it up (especially the lazy bastards that just throw everything in /opt and call it a day). I like being the dev who won’t let my code ship until everything fits nicely into FHS 3.0.

There’s dozens of us.

There’s no place like home

I substituted the flour with applesauce and this tastes terrible. 1/5 stars.

Fred Rogers (of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood). For my generation, he helped to shape our views on kindness and compassion for humankind. He fought for public access funding in the United States. He helped break color barriers on television. He helped us enjoy jazz.

I have not encountered another media personality who was so genuinely invested in making sure that kids had the tools they needed to deal with the emotional parts of existence. I’m tearing up again thinking about how much he did for us.

Off the top of my head, vi came out in the late 70s (though it might have been a little while later before you could start editing directly through vi)

I’m hoping this is partly a Porno for Pyros reference.

I did not. It was strongly tied in my childhood brain to the BRATT diet (recovering from nausea and vomiting).

If this offends your sensibilities then I can’t wait until you look at what someone did to C:

To be fair, GPS apps have some limitations that can cause this at times. I’d love it if an early voice alert could tell me if an exit is on the left or right side of the highway or how the exit split is organized way in advance of it happening.

Original looks like it might be this from 2017: https://www.tumblr.com/teathattast/168004157815

Went to a mediocre high school in the US, and I had an English/writing course where the only materials were the Aeneid, Illiad, Odyssey, and Mythology by Edith Hamilton.

So when Gandalf said “fly, you fools” to the fellowship, he was ordering them to sprout wings and fly away?
