Cry me a river, I'll keep being happy working from home.

When I lived in FL, I swear I was the only one voting that wasn't retired.

That is great news if they stick to it. Ttheir WebOS TVs are becoming slimier and slimier.

Not the previous commenter, but your comment was spot on and reminds me that I have actually rented apartments with "magnolia" in the name that looked nice from 500' away, but were poorly build and poorly managed shitholes.

I think most Atari 2600 games fell into this trap, not just because they tended to have some of the most awesome covers and lacking tech, but some were just awful ports or phoned in licensed games.

I don't have many specifically coming to mind, but the Raiders of the Lost Ark game had a really cool cover (still does, but also used to), but the game was an impenetrable mess, both visually and from a game play standpoint. It was quite complex though, so maybe there was something interesting beneath the depths that kid me could never figure out.

Yes, we saw the same movie, but I really liked it. The actual Stephen King story is basically unrelated, it was a bizarre couple page short story about a weirdo that mows lawns with psychic powers and then ate the lawn clippings (yes really!).

As for the sequel, just imagine that whatever you would have rated the first movie out of 10, adjust it down by 8 points. Yes, you can go negative :)

There is? How??

Never mind, some thing are not for us to know.

I agree, I mean, it is objectively bad, but it is almost enjoyable with the right mindset.

That is a solid list, but I nominate Lawnmower Man 2 as possibly the worst sequel of all time. The first movie was actually pretty great for it's time, but the sequel is just a nonsensical train wreck. Just take my word for it and don't watch it.

For all its very real shittiness, you will likely find that Amazon ships faster, has lower prices, has a better selection, and much easier returns than other online shops. This almost entirely the result of their massive monopolistic power. I don't begrudge people that are squeezed for time and money from trying to save either, but Amazon needs to be broken up.

It didn't, this is just Epic wanting everything they can get because they're greedy fucks. Not that I have any love of Google at this point, they've successfully burned any good will they had years ago. There are no good guys in this story.
