Wondering if you should watch Beetlejuice today?

Yes.

Ive never seen either, is it a new phenomenon?

So its the median of the three quarters so far this year?

The Mitchells vs. the Machines was good, but it wasn’t produced for streaming.

I would be much more interested in Spider Ham than the inevitable live action reboot.

The overloaded breakfast table is a trope so tired they were parodying it 30 years ago.

Title:

'Inside Out 2’ Clocks Near 31M Global Views

Body:

Disney’s Inside Out 2, drew 30.5 million views worldwide

All hype aside its OK to describe 30.5 as “around 30”, “over 30”, or even simply “30”. Trying to round up like that only makes sense if it is rounding to a landmark number.

wikiless.org is using a TLS cert that expired in February.

I don’t know the project very well but if they’ve been giving cert errors for half a year it might be time to link directly to Wikipedia.

Please keep discussion about plot elements out of titles

This film has been in development since 2014.

No idea where they pull their data but they put Inside Out 2 at the top of this list too:

EDIT: Ah, I see. It earned $1 billion overseas, making it the first animated film to do so.

The headline is so misleading and clearly wrong (Pixar alone have 4 earlier $1 billion films) that it must be intentional rage bait.

I wouldn’t be so bold as to walk into to conversation about genre fiction and start categorizing them as “literature” or “pulp”.

My parents took me to a late 80s re-screening of Picnic at Hanging Rock when I was 6 or 7yo.

I think at the time the classification board described it as “G” indicating that “the content is mild in impact” but by then it was no longer a new film and parents probably should have known better.

Sure its not as rough as Fortress (1985) but it was still covering themes of children in realistic peril. Its not a film with a happy ending and the fact that its based on a true story left child me shaken.

Its viewed as such.

The control of fire by early humans was a critical technology enabling the evolution of humans.

Aren’t those just standard door knobs?

Exactly, those two are pretty standard.options.

As far as door latches go the cross bar and draw bolts probably predate it by thousands of years but I don’t use those regularly.

As physical tech:

• we have lever door handles at work and wheel and axle door knobs at home.

As digital tech:

• Comma Separated Values as a notation predates computers. Then CSV has been used as a computer file format at least since one of the Fortran variants added support in 1972.

• The implementation has changed as filesystems evolve but the basic directory/file model of data storage and the associated tools ls/dir, cd, rm/del have been around a while. ls has been known by that name since Multics in 1969, but can trace its lineage back to listfon CTSS in 1961.

Anything that predates copy/paste is doing alright.

This reads like a scam where they collect and sell the personal information. 1/30 of the population is a pretty large population to draw from.

The “inside” part was the same story, the “out” part was the progression of Riley growing up. Riley’s circumstances forced some emotional growth and the internal narrative depicting that growth had the same story as the original film. The internal struggle apes the original beat for beat.

It sounds like you resonated with the external struggle, that part was great, but I felt the internal narrative didn’t carry its weight this time.
