Oh man. Great memories here. I wrote some BBS software using this. I never got to actually run my BBS, though, since I was a kid and my dad didn’t want to pay for a second line.
I still have .BAS files floating around I wrote in QuickBASIC. I have no idea why.
Some where actually useful - like a program that read files (mainly meant for things like executables) and extracted plain text from it. Handy for finding text in files you couldn’t readily open in anything else.
Another renamed files with various switches like title case, or padding numbers with zeros. Was handy for renaming MP3 files for example. Actually they were probably S3M modules back then heh…
It's very weird... I wonder how they don't get sued for including other companies' logos. I only discovered this when trying to use FontForge to frankenstein fonts together and saw that Wii logo.
I didn’t realize this was being directed by the guy that directed Trollhunter until a few days ago, makes me a little more excited about this movie. The trailers look corny as hell but Trollhunter knew how to balance the corniness with the seriousness perfectly.
I recently saw the new TMNT movie and I have to say I really liked it a lot. I didn’t grow up with the TMNT, so it’s hard for me to say how accurate it is to the originals, but I thought the animation was phenomenal and the story itself was very solid too.
I’ve seen a lot of people praising the animation, so I’m not going to include too much detail on why I liked it (to avoid retreading too much ground), but I really liked how grounded and relatable everyone’s motivations were. Wanting to fit in and be a part of a community is such a quintessential human experience; and lashing out from fear of rejection is extremely relatable as well.
The humor seems aimed pretty solidly at millennials (based on the references made throughout the movie), and I was surprised how adult this kids’ movie was.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this movie; and after Barbenheimer last week, it’s been a good week for movies for me
I think it should be OK. The movie was rated PG, though it feels like it rides the line with PG-13 a little. I saw the movie almost a week ago so I don’t remember exactly what made me think that at the time, but I was a little surprised by some of the musical cues (though my understanding is some of them are in the trailers). When I said it was adult, I just meant that it didn’t talk down to the audience in a way that would annoy adults
I personally didn’t find any of it particularly objectionable, but I might not be the right person to ask. This website seems to think 11+, but this is the first time I’ve looked at the site so I’m not sure how accurate their rating system is.
Thanks. I usually go to that site but they’ve been trying to force subscriptions so it’s faded my usage. I think I’ll hold off watching with the kids for now.
I did not see this movie, and have no intention of seeing it, but I wanted to thank you for making the discussion post. Discussion posts have been somewhat lacking on Lemmy so I really appreciate the effort :)
Don’t know if I should congratulate you or console you! 😜 But from your review here it didn’t seem a total loss. And thanks for the format thumbs-up! 🫶
