"Germany launches a preemtive strike against Poland"

I believe the impact was mostly to do with the visuals. And, honestly, that is very fair. While it is inctedibly dull and cringe story-wise, the visuals are phenominal, especially since the movie is now already 15 years old.

I feel the same way about Jurassic Park in that sense, though it is much less cringe than Avatar (but still pretty basic story-wise).

Not to mention the fact that they had to climb some very steep stairs and Gollum went first. Poor hobbits...

It certainly has downsides in that regard, I will not deny that. However, if you want something that Just Works™, it is a very good option in my (admittedly limited) experience.

To add, if OP is looking to use the laptop for gaming, I can recommend Bazzite. Built upon fedora with some quality of life things and very stable as it's immutable. Very hard to fuck up.

They're probably both bottoming for Putin

Also, for those interested in more mature movies: Juror #2. I had good expectations and was not disappointed. At least, not by the movie. There were only a handful of people in an already small cinema room, only a week after release. Meanwhile, Gladiator II is drawing a lot of public.

While I love shitting on CEOs and business people as much as the next left-oriented person, this trend in the movie industry is very much, at least partially, at fault due to many of the consumers.

About as accidental as falling off the stairs in Russia

If only

I am so fucking sorry you are in this shit and I wish you and your children good luck going forward. Sadly it seems like you will need it.

This would especially be great if one could upload their photos but if you decide to include a few of your own please add a photo of trump.

Bonus if you make an easter egg where when you throw one tomato at trump it doesn't apply a tomato effect and instead changes to the picture of him being shot.

There was a time where I would have been happy to pay for it too, back when the ads were less intrusive. However, the number of ads increased drastically when they started pushing premium, and it's only gotten worse - not to mention the fact that, even though they make more money, the content creators (employees) are paid less per view. I don't mind paying for a product or service. I do mind paying to make an engineered inconvenience from a mega corporation that has a de facto monopoly go away.
