I wish it were a good kids movie. You know they exist right?

...was fired at...

Gotta love a passive voice so passive that it doesn't even clarify that she was shot and killed and not merely "fired at".

I didn't mind Reddit gold as a method of paying for upkeep on an ostensibly free site. If well-off Redditors wanted to chip in to help with maintenance resulting in fewer or less intrusive ads then that's grand.

The point when they started losing me was when the Reddit front page modernised into the Instagram feed looking abomination it is today and when they shifted from Reddit gold to the silver diamond thing they have now. No I don't want to make an avatar. No I don't want to follow users or have them follow me.

It started as the last example of old social media like forums and got metric'd into this half-formed freak of a site that seems to actively resent the users that build and maintain their entire platform.

You don't think House of the Dead was a cinematic masterpiece? Tsk tsk! Poor taste I say!

I'm not disagreeing with you because I know terms like classic are entirely relative but holy shit referring to fortnight as a classic nearly triggered a mid-life crisis. Holy hell. Ow.

Hear hear. Soul was a great movie because it was fun for kids but spoke to adults. Pixar does that a lot. A good kids movie is just a good movie that's appropriate for children. Sure you can feed kids entertainment slop and it might even make bank but if you're trying to make a film and not just a vehicle for the line to go up then slop is not it.

Tsk tsk tsk. Sounds like your parents owe you a 3br house.

I think they redid the oceans a couple years back. I don't remember how deep they are but they were more interesting than before with underwater base building and stuff.
