I never found Jim Carrey to be funny. Or interesting as an actor.

He's just mildly annoying.

I couldn't even finish Fairy Tale. King's kids have gotten to be pure tropes these days. I think King tries to give characters and especially kids, some very specific tics and slang to make them "unique" in a place and time. And then he just over-does it to the point of caricature. Almost like he's making them "overly unique."

His "good" kids are so overly earnest and respectful that they just become very phony.

I'v had this problem with King since the 1980s. I vastly prefer his short stories versus his novels since the mid '80s. There's less of this caricature building.

Why do real estate agents need to have their faces prominently shown on signage and business cards?

My lawyer doesn't do this. Nor does my doctor, or my dentist. I've worked with professional photo retouchers who do not slap their faces on their websites.

WTF, real estate agents?

52 year old American here. Never heard this slang, despite watching tons of British TV/movies and visiting England twice in my life.

Learn something new every day. Today is my birthday, and I mark my 52nd year by learning that bog is slang for toilet in England.

My 7 Plus is still going very strong. The battery isn't quite as great as it once was, but everything about it works just fine still. I easily get more than an entire day of charge unless I run any GPS app (turn-by-turn driving instructions, which I seldom do). Granted I am not a power-user when it comes to phones, but I'm probably average in my usage and it's easily the most long lived mobile device I've ever had. Maybe I just got lucky.

I can see some upsides. But the one friend who was demonstrating it for me had similar issues like you had. He said he had everything set up really well for a while, then it stopped working perfectly. He re-adjusted it over and over. Then eventually instead of fixing it, he just started turning lights on manually like before. I think he started having troubles when they added more stuff to it, and it just plain didn't work with his new TV.

I just don't ee the appeal of these things at all. I've been to friends' houses where they have shown off the capabilities... and it's not very impressive at all. Sure "Play salsa music" will get it to play salsa music, but... who cares?

These things are largely solutions looking for a problem.

Friends wasn't heavily criticized for having a core cast of white people. It's that they lived in NYC and almost everyone who ever appeared on the show was white—with a few exceptions.

NYC is not all that white.

Well put. No matter what they did in season 3—repeatedly—everything went back to where they started.

I loved season 1 & 2. Honestly, my guess is I won't like what they do with season 4. Maybe they'll pull the ending together for the final season. I haven't read where the comic books end, so I have no idea where or if they are going with that same ending. Who knows. After season 3, I'm only mildly looking forward to season 4.

Shame.

I'm still curious if The Boys will make two more good seasons. Season three was a mixed bag for me. I really want the next two final seasons to be great, but the show and concept just feels to be running out of steam. I hope I'm wrong about that and we get two more fantastic seasons.

This spin-off? Meh. I might watch if it gets great reviews. But really, not everything needs a dozen seasons, reboots, spin-offs, etc.

I read it, fully knowing it would be dumb.

It was even dumber than I thought it would be.

Or put on Zappa's "Bongo Fury" and get Beefheart and Zappa together. Those two were friends from high school.

She's a weirdo narcissist and/or sociopath.

She belongs in jail, but so do many other people involved this this issue.
