Zeus 08/07/18 11:35:49 PM #391:	Can't remember what got me onto knowyourmeme today but it led to a monster wikiwalk, jumping between meme pages, going over to youtube to look at a fail video, and then an image of a car on a tiny island (basically like an irl version of King Kai's planet) sucked me into Pinterest for hours. The internet is a fucking dangerous place. At any rate, I'm somewhat struck by the immensely impractical (but awesome-looking) fantasy locations people come up, such as a city on a rocky cliff outcrop (that shit ain't going to hold) and another one build directly between waterfalls. The Wave Master posted... My mom told me that if it's too good to be true, it usually is. Movie Pass is too good to be true, and look what's happened. If you don't know or care, Movie Pass is or was an unlimited movie theater pass for like 9.99 a month. You got a nice red credit card, with a number and a pin like a credit card, and you just scanned or swiped your card, and bam, you watch a movie. These geniuses thought no one would see more than one movie a day or a week. They were wrong and the company lost tons of money. Then the cards magically stopped working, or better yet, the movie theaters themselves did not honor the Movie Pass because they would lose money on the percentage of ticket sales. So much backlash. It's been a cluster muck the whole time. Now Movie Pass is limited to 3 movies a month for the 9.99, and people are ticked off. Not sure how you can be mad when it seemed too good to be true to begin with. http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/08/01/moviepass-ceo-issues-apology-promises-changes?read It wasn't so much a case as "too good to be true" but "too good to stay like that."
