The Hobbit (trilogy)

I love the LotR trilogy, just so well done. I knew De Toro started the Hobbit and I was hyped! Then he departed and it was a bit concerning, but Jackson was coming to the rescue so it couldn’t be that bad, right?

It did not need to be a trilogy. Adding more characters who are women was a good idea, but doing it for a romance subplot was stupid. Legolas didn’t need to be included at all, there were enough characters already and another dude didn’t help out.

Then there was the inconsistent tone, the stupid barrel ride crap and goblin caves super mario scene and the whole thing missed the point of the book which was about a bunch of bumbling dwarves, most of which were past their prime, hiring a hobbit to be a spy to raid a dragon horde. Instead we got superhero dwarves doing outrageous stunts and a ton of side characters padding out a trilogy.

Ugh.

You probably downvoted one slop post. Or criticized AI one time.

Just look at the community moderation and laugh.

Kindergarten to 6th grade (12 yoa) in the majority of the US. 7th and 8th are middle school.

The original “pillow talk”-scene had Marla saying “I want to have your abortion”. When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn’t be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, “I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school”. When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.

Also, the actress didn’t know grade school in the US is 6-12 years old as she is from outside the US. She didn’t find out until afterwards and was very unhappy about saying it.

To start with your first sentence is stupid and it goes downhill from there. Pride moth exists as a response to being silenced and prosecuted for centuries. Straight people don’t need an event to show they deserve to exist because they already run the show and having an event to celebrate as a counter to pride month is just rubbing in historical oppression. Crashing each other’s events is nowhere near the same thing due to context.

A hetero celebration event during pride month is like having a confederate celebration on Juneteenth.

That is why you are being downvoted, and nobody else explained because odds are you won’t understand and just dig your heels in deeper.

Thank you for muting it!

The pointing an laughing at one or a few people is always assholish. A good prank involves everyone laughing together, and if it is targetted at anyone in particular they have to be comfortable with being the target.

Jokes that are aimed at a widespread audience get a pass because there will always be someone who doesn’t like something or feels foolish when they feel tricked no matter how lighthearted the joke is. So a game company announcing something ridiculous for their game needs some leeway when someone takes it personally when they fall for an announcement that Fortnite is removing dances or there would be no room for humor.

Widespread ones can still be mean spirited of course, but tricking people isn’t what makes it so.

It is common in the US, frequently they will be listed as 2 & 1/2 baths if they have two with tubs and one without.

Haven’t paid enough attention to know how they list multiple 1/2 baths but pretty sure they don’t add up like regular fractions…

I always found the term 1/2 bath weird.

This is misleading. The top picture is bright and sunny and the lower one is gray and dreary. Notice the tree in the background on the left without any leaves?

That is because the top picture was taken in the summer and the lower one in the winter when it is cold and the animals have been moved indoors to keep them warm. They will be back in the spring.
