Reply to Buffy The Vampire Slayer 1992 is freaking weird by zak55
Loved that movie as a kid. I don't remember it being quite as bad as you say. I wonder if you're a bit younger and maybe just not used to seeing movies from the 80's and early-mod 90's. Perhaps a kid growing up in the late 90's - early 2000's may not be accustomed to that schlock we used to watch before tons of CGI.

Reply to comment by MaybeImDead in Martine Vik Magnussen: Billionaire’s son admits role in death to BBC by msemen_DZ
"admits role in death" is not the same as "claims responsibility"
Title seems totally accurate just by your description, and I haven't even read the article.

You just reminded me of this incredibly satisfying dust collection system I saw yesterday. The stone debris being drilled from a giant tunnel through a mountain bust be completely de-dusted in order to keep the tunnel air breathable for all the workers inside.

I really wasn't making any sort of statement about my thoughts or opinions. I was just correcting the top comment on this post because it seemed like they misunderstood what it was saying. But thanks anyways for the dire warning...

I didn't read the article, but the headline is only pointing out that the last CUB IN IRAN'S CAPTIVITY has died. It's not saying the very last Asiatic Cheetah, ever, has died..

I mean, if you read the article, the guy spells it out pretty clearly so there's not a lot of room for confusion.. hard to tell in text, but he seemed like he was being honest. The story being true is funny and crazy to believe lol

>His real age was not discovered after he was wounded.
His real age also was not discovered after he signed up. Or after his first day in the Navy. Or his second.. Oh see, the list of moments where his real age was not discovered is probably a long list..

Maguire and DiCaprio, who've been best friends for over 30 years, first met in 1990 during the casting for Parenthood, a one-season TV spin-off series based on director Ron Howard's movie starring Steve Martin (before it was revived for TV — successfully — in 2010)

Some journalists also seem to think that if you don't like some technology or product that's coming out, you can just "cancel" it by continuously writing bad articles about how it needs to be stopped.
