First world problems

[Retro]

One of the things that irk me are when a movie is misdescribed, like the one below. The keywords are comedy, horror, music. I've also seen satire in the Sky TV guide description. However, it's neither comedy nor satire, but a rather poor horror film and it's pretty annoying to find that a movie doesn't live up to its description. Even if the movie is good, which it usually isn't, I still won't be happy that I was mislead by the description. The most frequent misdescriptions are comedies that are anything but.

It's funny that. I run into this particular issue very often, though because the examples are usually subpar (and not worth mentioning) the issue ends up brushed under the rug most of the time. I usually use Metacritic and at least there users tend to fix these issues, though most services in general are sub par and mislabel almost everything, and modern content in general get given its own genre - sort of a band aid on a bullet wound IMHO

I can totally sympathize with your experience of misrepresented films, same here. This happens more than it used too.

First world problem was losing internet today. Our area had an outage for over eight hours. We just got service back. Catch up tomorrow!

Sorry to hear that. Losing internet is like losing your oxygen supply, isn't it? I had this for something like 9 days a couple of years ago.

Can you not fall back to mobile? Appreciate it may be more costly but guess depends on your plan. Mobile seems lot cheaper in UK

Thank you! It wasn't until very late before the outage was repaired. I can't even imagine having 9 days without service.

Thank you for that suggestion, my cell worked for awhile and then it lost internet too. By then, I was charging my hotspot so I could get online for a little while and I also synced up my hotspot so my cell would work. It had been a long time since we lost internet, actually several years now. It was kind of unexpected because there wasn't really a reason for an outage. We had some rain, light thunder, but not any real severe storm that came through.
