Just signed this now, but haven’t received the validation email. For those who have signed it, how long did you have to wait?

Nice! You might also consider promoting it on [email protected]. Perhaps you could even work with the mods to pin links to each others communities in the sidebars.

Yeah, if no one from your instance is subscribed to a community, it won’t show up unless you search for it, which kicks off federation.

Could it have been [email protected]?

LemmitOnline is a one-way reddit bridge, so not particularly useful for soliciting recommendations.

Yes, I believe pikachu is modeled after a pika.

I just checked, and there is one, but it is on ml and it has a single post from two years ago: [email protected]

Love Parks and Rec. Do we have a Lemmy community yet?

That’s great to hear! Thank you for the work that you do.

Damn, that sounds unfortunate. Hope the Brits get things get sorted out. It would be a shame to lose feddit.uk. Sending love from sh.itjust.works.

Now this is the type of time commitment I’m willing to spend on following current events!

Definitely hand-waviness on the part of Disney for that one!

Well, the queen does go AWOL mere hours after her coronation, and the next-in-line almost marries away the kingdom, so… they weren’t entirely well-adjusted :)

Overall, I think I preferred the 2005 version to the 1971 version. The sets and music are better, and it is more faithful to the book. In terms of Willy Wonka, I wasn’t satisfied with either portrayal of the character. Gene Wilder played him too vindictive and angry, while Johnny Depp was too cold and reserved.

It’s a difficult story to translate from book to screen. A lot of the elements which are whimsical in the book can easily come off as creepy on screen. I have not seen the 2023 film with Chalamet.

Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and Blade Runner 2049 would be my picks.

Do you frequently go to the movies with your ex-wives?

Not a rewatch, but I recently watched Frozen (2013). I’d heard the songs already (who hasn’t?), but knew nothing of the plot. Boy, the themes of depression, anxiety, and PTSD were a lot more intense than I was expecting from a family-friendly Disney animated film.

After the accident, the trolls tell Elsa that “fear will be her enemy”… and then they scare her to the point that she withdraws from society and even her own family for over a decade out of fear of hurting them. The trolls also wipe Anna’s memory, so she has no idea why Elsa is suddenly ignoring her. It’s actually quite miraculous that the sisters turned out as well-adjusted as they did.
