Does anyone else have these moments where a song or a movie or a book or something hit you in a weird way?

It doesn't have to be a good movie/book/whatever.  Like a weird movie that makes you question reality for a few hours.

Maybe Life is strange counts. I had been binging it for a few days with pretty much nothing else going on. Was just a cool game.

Well I was talking with people in real life and didn't get the response I expected, so I instinctively moved my arm to rewind time. Was pretty funny that my brain thought for just a moment that it could actually rewind time.

Also interesting that I moved my arm in a similar way to the character in the game. I had only pressed buttons in the game yet my brain moved my arm as a reflex.

Hanks really growing a beard.  

(he shaved it off in the video, but still!  Being able to grow a beard is a feeling I can relate to...)

My ~30 year old car only has a cassette player and radio. I think it's time to trash/donate it

There's a meme about Neil deGrasse Tyson on videos where he goes off on explanations on things.
>video about Tyson explaining the history of highways

All the comments are about "Neil was asked how the traffic was"

>video about Tyson explaining that ice water doesn't overflow when it melts

All the comments are about "Neil was asked if he wanted a glass of water"

I was holding on to a bunch of digital codes that came with the blu-ray discs, not planning on using them, but figured the option was worth something.

Decided to use them, and recycle the paper; was thinking it was silly to hold onto them.  

Movies Anywhere is kind of nice. It feeds back into iTunes so all of the movies I redeemed were available on both. Also already had the 30 movies from that $8 DC bundle.

I've never bothered with those. I assume they're all expired.

Are they improved quality or just identical to the disc?

All of my movies seem to be 1080p.
Even Elemental, which was with a 4K disc unfortunately.

Was trying to activate a few more codes from some 4k sets I had. But some were expired out of the box.


Most of them don't seem to expire. Some of the Disney codes were several years old, and they worked fine.
WB is apparently very aggressive about expiring codes. Most of the newer WB movies I got a few months ago, were expired out of the box.

[kitler53]

i've never not had a code that wasn't expired out of the box.   made me hate those codes as being valueless.

I'm sure I've shared this before, but it's worth sharing again.

I'm not even a fan of many comedians, but I'm a huge fan of Taylor Tomlinson.

Even when the joke doesn't land, I love how she acts.

[kitler53]

I love stand up.  Taylor is awesome.
