Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It's not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it's one of my dad's favorite movies. Never really understood why it's so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)

Ah, I missed it again! And just by a few hours. Is there some kind of mailing list or something to sign up for to find out when this happens? Since I gave up Reddit and YouTube I am way out of the loop on these things. Would have picked up several titles too, since it's been a couple years...

This is a shame, but it's understandable. Just as long as they don't cut back on what they carry online. They have a fantastic online selection which the stores never really matched. Some of their sales made it possible to grab Criterion blu rays for cheaper than the 50% off sales at B&N.

I hadn't taken part in the flash sale for a couple years (and I skipped the last B&N sale), so I went a little big on this one. Ordered:

• The Lady Vanishes (1938)
• Young Mr. Lincoln (1939)
• His Girl Friday (1940)
• Some Like It Hot (1959)
• Fail Safe (1964)

I watched four films this week, all of which I'd seen before (so clearly I quite like them all):

• It Happened One Night (1934)
• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
• Foreign Correspondent (1940)
• 21 Jump Street (2012)

Really tough to choose one, but would probably have to give the nod to Mr Smith. Jimmy Stewart is just too good.

as long as the community is created on a larger instance it should show up when users sort by all within that instance

This is an issue for communities that are on smaller instances, and with the current algorithm it's like a brick wall trying to break through to feeds of users on the big instances. For example, the most active college football community is !cfb@fanaticus.social but the abandoned community on lemmy.world keeps gaining subscribers (even with no content).

As a whole, niche-driven instances (e.g. sport, film, literature, aviation) and geography-focused instances (e.g. midwest, dmv) just aren't gaining much traction.
