Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
(For this to truly be hard for me you’d have to include “no movies you watched over and over on TCM”)

Just had an editing client try to quote "ChatGPT says" for the first time. About what Chicago Manual of Style says about spaces in ellipses. I told them I wouldn't argue with a plagiaristic, erroneous chatbot, so to never do that again, and sent them a photo of the actual relevant page of the CMOS.

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

It absolutely is! And not to be too woke on main, but it comes from the fact that a lot of people hate or are embarrassed by their child selves, depending on how they were treated as a child, and are loathe to give that version of themselves any credit for anything positive they know or have become.
this is probably more common than we think
