I remember two giant desert tortoises going at it at the Phoenix Zoo once. They were LOUD.

Never understood the hate for the second one, it had everything a young Turtle-loving me would have wished for.
Agreed. I actually kind of hated the 90 movie as a kid because my only reference at the time was the cartoon and it was just too different. As an adult I appreciate more what they were trying to do but still think it's slightly overrated. Really prefer Out of the Shadows.

I have the opposite. I absolutely cannot stand to watch The Fifth Element and everyone loves it.
I agree! It took me about three tries to even finish the damn thing, lol.

Ghostbusters 2016. It's fun and clever I love those characters. I would love to see them return in future films but at this point it's never gonna happen.

Crystal Skull. My favorite Indy film, and I truly don't get why people don't think it blends in seamlessly alongside the rest of the series. Yeah, that monkey scene is a little cheesy but one weird minute shouldn't ruin the entire thing.

Batman & Robin. Its a fun, colorful movie that knew exactly what it was doing, unlike Forever which seems completely unaware of its own ham. Tommy Lee Jones is way more cringe than Arnie could ever hope to be. Plus Clooney is a great Bruce Wayne and his relationship with Alfred really sparkles here. My favorite Batman movie after Returns, honestly.

Very much so! I still watch it at home on bluray about once a year.

No, and that's coming from a huge introvert. My husband really is my safe space and has proven time and time again everything will be ok when the chips are down.

Yes but I have a weird aversion to water and it's not an activity I enjoy. I didn't even learn how until I was in my teens.

No. I dislike fruit a great deal, and in fact have never eaten an apple. (My mom tells me I'd be famous if I ever made a YouTube video called "41 year old man eats apple for the first time," lol.) I do love veggies, though.

It's not like creatively fulfilling or anything, but they have been very good to me over the years. I've had cancer multiple times and still suffer from chronic pain and they are always supportive and understanding of using sick and vacation time, which I have plenty of. So, yes it's a great job in terms of culture and flexibility. Plus it's a good job for someone like me who's a bit of an introvert.

Yes. Not to overshare about my chronic pain problems, but multiple cancers and repeated surgeries to the same area has left me with severe nerve damage and I feel worse now than when I actually was sick, so odds are I am going to have at least one painkiller every day.

No, it is not.

You and everyone you know use the singular they on a daily basis.

You're just getting conveniently confused when queerness is added to the equation.
Well first, I am gay myself, and though I am secure in my own "he"-ness I am also very much on your side here. But you also have to understand it's a learning process and stop being so defensive or telling other people what's "convenient, " as you put it. As I stated in my first comment, it is disrespectful and minimizing to blatantly ignore someone's pronoun...when you know it. But are you seriously telling me that there's no way you can see how, if someone plows ahead with references to an unknown "they," it might take them two seconds to realize who is actually referred to? Come on now. That's as equally and willfully thick headed as those you're calling out.

Actually it is, because most people are likely inclined to think of it as a plural.

I'd allow some wiggle room with this. If someone's preference has been established then yes, choosing not to use it is incredibly disrespectful. However, referring to "they" with no context or previous knowledge of those preferences can be confusing at first.

Gotta go with The Last of Us. Not that I didn't like it, but I kept waiting for this emotional gut punch moment I heard so much about to come and it never did, then the game was done. Again, it was good, I just have a hard time believing everyone was SO emotionally invested in what's really a pretty run of the mill zombie game.

I'm in my 40s and have honestly never sat down and watched it. I was more of a MadTV guy back in the day. But that said, even if you didn't watch it I feel like you still were aware of a lot of the cultural references like Wayne's World and Mr. Bill and all that. It doesn't seem like there's been anything popular like that in recent years.
