    I will die on this hill, because I can’t understand why, rather than move an hour twice a year, we couldn’t put it halfway (half an hour) in between and call it a day.

    I think the search term you want is “air mouse.” I have a couple but the quality isn’t something that would lead me to recommend either.

    Reading comments like yours and OBLIVIATER's really confound me. I really want to like Outer Wilds. I've tried starting it multiple times. I just can't get into it, I find it so tedious and boring. Different strokes I guess.

    This came across my radar the other day and talks about metamodernism in terms of the film industry. It was my introduction to the term metamodernism and it made sense to me

    Having mulled this question over previously, my go to answer is The Princess Bride. In my head cannon I have notions of who would play each role, but I'll leave that exercise up to your imagination.

    Disagree wholeheartedly. The show was forced to evolve as characters started to leave, but the writing for the final two seasons is stronger despite that. Season 5 is consistently hilarious and the additions of Paget Brewster and Keith David in Season 6 led to some of the funniest moments of the show.

    I am cautiously optimistic about the movie as I don't think Dan Harmon would do it unless there was a story to tell (as he's said in the past).

    The Before trilogy, The Darjeeling Limited, Samsara are some that immediately come to mind, I'm sure there's plenty of others I can't think of this moment.

    The administration claims that the 72 initiatives are being undertaken to promote competition and raise wages. But it will be up to the various agencies, as well as Congress, to provide funding and action to make these things happen.

    You're not alone, I can't believe Snowpiercer gets the praise that it does. Besides some good production design, bleh.
