Hubs and I didn't love the movie, but we totally adore the series.

I recently saw a shirt for sale online that says, "I'm sorry for everything I said when I was evangelical," and that really just about sums it up.
Oh, man. What a day that was. I was in first grade, still too young to understand that there were people in that thing and that those people died.
When we watched it blow up like fireworks, I don't think we realized that wasn't what it was supposed to do. Our poor teacher had to process it pretty quickly so she could explain it to us.
The way that someone responds to you is a reflection of them, not of you. If someone in your life is wildly inconsistent, all you can do is make sure that you are maintaining consistency yourself.
I've worked with a number of people who acted like we were besties one day and then gave me the cold shoulder for weeks. I spent too many years wondering what was wrong with me before I finally figured out that their mood swings had nothing to do with me.
I remember when Fox was a brand-new network that only broadcast during specific times of the day in my area.
I wonder what would happen if the world found out that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (or any other celebrity/athlete/role model) was using Chat GPT to respond to fan mail. My gut feeling is that people would find it disingenuous at best -- and there would probably be significant outrage.
Where's the AI that does my dishes and cleans my house so I have more time to write, create, and connect with others? That's the technology I want -- not one that does the meaningful part and leaves the menial stuff up to me.
The convicted felon?
In some countries, cellular companies still charge for sending text messages to people who have a different provider. WhatsApp is an easy way to connect with all of the people you know without paying extra fees.
And there's a whole customer interface that lets you order directly from small businesses, which is super convenient if you live in a country that still has a lot of "mom and pop" stores instead of giant superstore chains.
We also would have accepted Rusty Shackleford.
Agreed on both counts.
Let's not forget Echo, November and Whiskey from Dollhouse.
I don't see any recommendations for The Lost Boys yet. It's super '80s in the "both Coreys" way. It's dated, but still a lot of fun.
Prince of Darkness is a guilty pleasure for me. I love religious horror, so it's my favorite John Carpenter movie. There are some fairly violent bits, but it's not overly gory like a slasher flick. If you're okay with The Thing, this one should be fine.
The Endless is also religious horror, but it's more psychological. There's not much violence, but it's very tense.
Little Monsters (the 2019 one) is a heartwarming comedy about a teacher who has to protect her class from a zombie apocalypse during a field trip. It's got a moderate amount of zombie-movie gore, but it's treated in a humorous way. If you're okay with Shaun of the Dead, it should be fine.
