PSA: Stock Android phones, since... maybe Android 12.x or so(?), have a Lockdown mode in the power button shortcut menu that disables bio unlocks and forces pin or password.

Tldr: it seems to work to make the prints stronger since, upon stress testing, they failed in a 3d way (cracks) instead of breaking along layer lines.

I've been making an effort to use "happy to help" at work, instead of "no problem" because I was also informed it's a generational thing.

For me, I could watch Muppet Treasure Island over and over. The perfect movie.

For a movie I need to play for others: A Goofy Movie.

I'm open to trying this after reading your explanation. The Lego Movie was also surprisingly amazing.

Yes, no one should be watching this without the shenanigans. You need to be in a certain silly, horny mood with some added alcohol if you're still too cool for school, and a group of others who feel the same and have memorized the callbacks.

I love finding those excellent movies that have somehow floated just below the surface of the consciousness of my sphere of community.

Aren't those tomato meter scores the aggregate of critic reviews? On cult classics, low-brow, or franchises with baggage, the user reviews are way more likely to match the vibe of a movie.

Funnily enough, it's almost the complete opposite for independent movies made for "film people". Or plots that require critical thinking or deep attention (the latter is my own Achilles' heel)--where the user score is garbage, but the critic score (and thus, the tomato meter) is more likely to match your own (if you're into movies like that).

Hell, I'm always down to watch Incredibles just for the soundtrack and Edna Mode.

This reminds me of one definition of art: that it creates an emotion or reaction in the viewer.

Not that this movie in particular is art lol. Feels like a fetish film, if anything.

Those movies are so great. Probably stick with the G and PG options if there's a young kid in the mix (thinking of Princess Mononoke, which is PG-13, IIRC). The PG ones often have just the right amount of "safe-scary" elements that it absolutely grabs their attention. Great movies for grown-up/kid conversation-starters to boot, just due to the deep, rich, human themes they explore.
