True story: a couple of years ago, during our annual river trip where dozens of us show up with camping gear, tents, canopies, RVs, basically all the amenities to make "camping" as close to indoor living as possible, we had a massive thunderstorm. Tents blew away, a lot of our stuff was destroyed, our fire went out; it was a disaster. Meanwhile, about 75 yards away, there was an Amish family with the bare minimum for outdoor survival, just the basics and essentials. Their fire never went out, none of their stuff was destroyed, hell, their tents never budged. The next morning as we all crawled out of the debris to salvage what we could, the Amish were quietly cooking breakfast over a nice open fire and playing with their dog. I'm not a religious man, but I never felt more the worldly sinner than witnessing how the hand of God protected his pious believers.

Gotta re-remorb.
Firstly, @Chimpzy, you didn't ask permission to change your profile pic; I almost didn't recognize you.

Secondly, what is the scuttlebutt surrounding Morbius? Like, high-level details; I can't be bothered to dig through the internet to find out for myself. Is it one of those "so bad, it's good" situations? Perhaps "not as bad as critics want us to believe?"

Based on what I've heard, it's definitely a so bad it's good, in that it's fun to mock.

No, Morbius is a "so bad, it's shit" movie that rightly bombed at the box office. But the internet being what it is, people started making fun of it by making ironic memes about how great and successful it actually is, including catchphrases that aren't actually in the movie or promotions like "I'm about to morb" and "It's morbin time", and calling themselves 'morbheads', and going on about how they should put it back in theaters. Then, somehow, Sony took notice of that and for some insane reason seemingly believed there was a real dedicated cult fan/grassroots following, #releasethesnydercut style, so Sony actually put the movie back in theaters. Where it promptly flopped again. Even harder this time.

TLDR: trolls memed shitty movie, Sony no internet savvy

Wow... that's actually kind of incredible. Sad that bullies were validated, but incredible nonetheless.
