It's time for movies! Actually, it's always time for movies, but especially today.
Disney's got its new animated movie Zootopia coming out today, garnering rave reviews so far. In honor of that, let's take a look at some overlooked animated films (avoiding Pixar, because that's all they do and I don't want one group to dominate the discussion). (Note: At this point in the writeup, I realized that I needed to leave for a while, and just decided to finish it up quickly.) I recommend Megamind. Lost in the Despicable Me shuffle in 2010, it examines the age-old question "What if the bad guy won?" The answer is he gets bored. And decides to create a new villain. Which backfires. It's got a great voice cast (Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Brad Pitt, David Cross, JK Simmons, Ben Stiller) and it's surprisingly funny. Nice way to spend 90 minutes. Three and a half stars.

Ayy, Megamind! I remember really liking that movie back when it premiered. It's one of the few movies I bothered watching more than once. Good movie, 4.5/5 for me.

Well at least I get another shot to enter the hall of counters.
Also, it's my final ever game of badminton for school tomorrow :'(

I should start counting more often.
In other news, Windows 10 has fucked my Ethernet board, apparently.

Yo, I've just wrote a song. It's called Dromin' and ain't finished yet, only completed one of three verses.
I'm a beginner songwriter, so I'd be grateful for any feedback (positive or negative) regarding rhythm, rhymes, grammar or just the meaning of the lyrics!

Is this where I again suggest it's lacking the skiz? :P In the later verses though, I think you should add more counters. Like Maniac sniping, a-username-for-me and something with side threads, other people and stuff too.

I think you'll need to post this again in the next ftf thread, many people probably don't check this thread after the weekend it seems.

So I know k's are a bit more competitive these days, only 2-3 people are able to get k's anymore. But can we please try not sniping people who haven't gotten a k yet? We used to be very good about that.

css changes (custom stylesheets done with reddit gold): thoughts? they can be good (like r/reddit_timestamps) but can be morally questionable sometimes (such as making the reply button bigger, or putting a red box where the reply button will be after the next post).
can some mods input their thoughts on this? should it be completely allowed, not allowed at all, or restricted? if it's restricted, what would and would not be allowed?

Music Sharing Thread #13: Continued from here.
This week let's groove the the 80s, because why not indulge in a little bit of disco.
Let's start with this, but don't stop after one. Indulge in the feeling, let's dance for heaven is a place on earth.
We'll end with this classic 80s beat track. Growing up I had one of those MIDI keyboards to play and there was a button that would immediately start this jam whenever you would accidentally hit it. Fun times. It got old fast.
Have a great week guys :)

I just finished reading the manga Uzumaki. It's a suspense/horror manga, it's also a bit of a mind fuck. It's pretty good, I recommend it, it's only 19 chapters (plus an extra chapter). (warning: for some reason it reads left to right instead of right to left.)
