inFound out last week that 1 in 5 first dates in the US happens at a chain restaurant, and I cant stop thinking about my Olive Garden disaster in 2019
Oh man, Olive Garden first dates are a rite of passage I swear. Took a guy to the one in Modesto and he ordered the tour of Italy then complained the whole time that his chicken was dry, like dude you picked this place too. The breadsticks were the only thing that showed up that night, if you know what I mean. Chain spots feel safe but they also attract the most random people.

inGuy at my local anime meetup in Portland told me to skip the OP every time, and it bugged me for weeks
That guy was actually right though, and I say that as someone who loves a good opening. Think about it from a story point of view. Most OPs are just the show's greatest hits set to a song, and they spoil stuff that hasn't happened yet. The third OP of Brotherhood literally shows characters before they even show up, so you already know they matter. That's a real spoiler, not a vibe. And you can always go back and watch them after you finish. It hits way harder when you know who everyone is and what they went through.

inA film professor in Austin told me remakes are never as good, then I watched the 1982 version of The Thing
Your professor probably just watched the Psycho remake and swore off all of them forever. The Thing works because Carpenter didn't just copy the 1951 flick, he went back to the short story and made the alien a shape-shifting nightmare instead of a guy in a rubber suit. The 2011 prequel is the funny part, it tried so hard to be Carpenter's movie that it forgot to be its own thing.
