Glad to see that kindness is finally going viral.
I'm Gen X, raised feral like the rest. Movies like The Lost Boys, The Goonies and Explorers feel like biographies. We were vicious to one another before the arrival of political correctness in the early 90s, which received backlash like today's woke. But kindness is always on the right side of history.
I agree though about feeling like some kind of crass <expletive> around young people today. I have a hard time staying domesticated as I watch society crumble under the guise of gentrification. I just want to act out so badly sometimes, deface something, watch it all burn like the good old days, SLC Punk style. But the real punk is to be ruthlessly human to one another.
There's a certain thrill in sacrificing one's ego to help someone achieve their dreams that just can't be replaced. The biggest baddasses are teachers, nurses, your mom, and everyone knows it.
Not to sound snarky, but try to find an older movie like "Lost Boys (1987)" on one of the many streaming services. This is not an infinite library but they pre-select what we can and more importantly can't watch.
> And I defy you to find a mainstream film with a moment as horny and gay as the Sexy Saxophone Solo from The Lost Boys.
It was that, but strangely Tim Cappello is not gay.
FWIW, I don't care much about screen chemistry. But friend of mine and her husband are both huge film buffs. The last one which really got her worked up watching was Watchmen in 2009. The author seems to have a point.
On the other hand, my wife likes a good love story on screen where sex is not the focus, but emotions. She's a big fan of K-Dramas, and feels like the stories would be impaired by introducing sex (which inevitably would be part of it in American drama).
The scope of this complaint seems to mainly be blockbuster films, I suppose.
Works with Google too, even capitalizing the movie correctly.
"Set an appointment to play Lost Boys tomorrow." "What time?"
That solve was impressive even for our team. He said the answer out loud before most of the team had even finished loading the next page.
Most of LosT puzzle pages take at minimum an hour to solve. They are designed to pull you in multiple directions when you first receive them.
e.g. https://lostboy.net/ExecutionTwoMiniatureSteelChameleonMuteStatic/
Look at the image names in the source. They're all actors in the movie Lost Boys. It also has nothing to do with the page and was there to mislead you. That alone takes at least one member of your team down a 20-30 minute rabbit hole.
