Eh, I’d rather the remake makes some changes, otherwise what’s the point of just doing the same thing again. Generally speaking the closer the remake is to the original the less value it adds. Sometimes these changes work and sometimes they don’t but I’d rather they take a swing. Like Psycho or Funny Games or Oldboy or anything Disney has done in the last decade are exactly like the original and feel completely pointless. Even when they’re done well like the Ikiru remake Living they just feel a little hollow.

All this being said, I think the most successful ones are where they have a completely new take from the ground up. Compare the new Planet of the Apes remakes to the 2001 Tim Burton one. The new ones go in a whole new direction and feel like they matter whereas the Burton one was a complete failure. Scarface and Oceans 11 also come to mind as successful remakes because the director got to put their on flair on the story.

The only time it really sticks out to me is when your character goes to Bing for their search needs.

PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.

Same. I’m still primarily a Plex user for the player (it’s just easier for sharing libraries with everyone) but I love the arr stuff. Just got readarr setup for audio books and audiobookshelf for the player which is really nice.

Probably my favorite feature of the arr suite is in Radarr and list subscribing. I’ve got mine connected to some good letterboxd lists along with things like tmdb popular to keep my library up to date with recent stuff. Also there’s some podcasts I listen to like The Rewatchables. I just subscribe to the lists of movies on letterboxd and I can easily keep up with the podcast.

I wish those worked for all the mirrors too. At least mine won’t do that anyway

“Mr Rogers miraculously raises from the dead only to go around diddling kids”

Is this a reference to someone?

Probably throttled for free and paid if you want the speed to stream video. Still though, I’d take that. Would be great for just checking messages and emails and stuff.

This is not the stray team, the article picture confuses the story. They should’ve used the Annapurna logo instead but they probably wanted more clicks.

Yes, I think that is a different situation than what were referring to. Long term disability doesn’t fall under odd day here and there.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a job where I had to prove my sickness. I know that doesn’t apply to everyone but as long as you don’t abuse it, taking the odd day here and there doesn’t cause issues

I’m so glad he’s back right now. I never got into the Trevor Noah version of the show, it was just a different show.

No, none of the consoles require a subscription. You add it on if you want the extras and multiplayer.

“like that one time I was on Dragon Ball Z”

Looking back now the whole family schitk was pretty lazy and could be applied to anything but damn was it effective.

Brother in carts 💪

All the people here saying “you’re creating work over overworked employees” has clearly never worked in a grocery. You’re creating breaks. The only exception is people who left them out at close time when you’re all going home. Those people can burn.

My nephew is stoked for this. All the grown ass adults getting bent out of shape about this need to relax.

I was also a cart pusher for 3 or 4 years. It wasn’t my only task most of the time I was actually in the store bagging groceries. I loved cart pickup. It meant I could walk around the store parking lot, grab some fresh air and listen to some music. It was a cool little escape from the monotonous in store work and no one was really keeping an eye on me out there so I could take a little extra time.

I’m not weighing in on whether people should leave their carts out just adding some perspective that gathering them up wasn’t like this huge added labor, quite the opposite. If I wasn’t gathering carts I would’ve just been assigned to something much less enjoyable.

I’ve also just learned over the years that I just don’t go back to stuff all that much. If I finish a game, that’s it I’m done. If I really want to go back in 20 years there’s probably a PC port since there are very few console exclusives or just emulation.

I’m one of those people. I just can’t be arsed to get up off the couch and put a game in. After work and kids I’m beat and just want to pick something and start playing.

I’ve been trying to carefully navigate this. Got her into Totoro when she was really young, like 20 months. Then a little after 2 we started watching Spirited Away. She loves them. I can’t always control what she watches but I’m gonna do my best to imbue some of my tastes into her.
