Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That's funny. Just a few days ago I was talking about seeing Princess Mononoke at the Expo in Germany and I wondered whether Expo is still a thing. I hadn't heard anything about an Expo in decades. And now I see that they still do that and it's even in Japan this year. Feels like the circle closes. I find that mildly interesting.

The Expo 2000 in Hannover? They showed Princess Mononoke there?

Yes. On a huge screen outside. I think it could rotate, for some reason.

Weird way to watch that movie....

Why? They had a projector that worked on that giant screen and it was dark outside. It was completely fine.

It's probably just the whole Expo 2000 setting that's weird to me
