Had actually planned on seeing that, but terrible word-of-mouth references saved me the trouble.

Never say never though, Sony are going to make an Emoji movie.

I do recommend the Minions movie. It was hilarious and had lots of great cultural references. I want to see Inside Out next, because Pixar never disappoints.

My favorite reference in the Minion movie was when they came to America and there was a President Nixon billboard that said "Finally - A name you can trust!"

At that moment I thought they were going to serve Nixon. :lol:

My favourite was where they were on the moon, and I was actually thinking "ugh that's not realistic" and it turned out it was just the filming of the fake moon landing. :lol:

I feel like the only person on the planet who has never seen the Minions in action. (Despicable Me, right?)

lol at you people who watch movies without obsessively researching them and reading half a dozen reviews first

Since I'm visiting Berlin I figured I'd go to the infamous Berghain. Only for an hour or so, I thought. Then at one point I recall walking through the smoker's deck and watching the sun go up and dove right back into the darkness. I might have fallen in love with the music after all.

I've seen more drugs and men my dad's age in leather harnasses in eight hours than I have in all my life. They had an icecream bar on the top floor. Berlin is so weird.

You should get a portable recharger. They are the best and really cheap.

I Guess so but damn I smell some moneymaking here. Crappy batteries so we need to buy some addons when old phones could go days without problem. Reminds me about that one light bulb in America that still works after 114 years... and new ones go down in less than a year. Yeah, conspiracy is true about planned obsolescence

There's a fair difference between a Nokia and a smartphone. :p

Yeah, you could drop it in the water and it would be like meh or drop it down from pocket or hands many times to ground and still would be meh where as smartphone can't take really either of those without being broken. And my Nokia even had a web browser :lol: It was amazing phone but unfortunately bus riding over it was too much. RIP

To be fair, those old Nokia phones were quite sturdy. Mine survived nearly everything I threw at it. At the end of its life, it got the crazy notion it was a baseball and wanted to meet a bat. Probably not the most E-waste friendly of ends, but eh...

This is why it is a good idea to look over the specs of the phone and make sure it has an adequately sized battery. You can get after-market batteries for most phones (if they have replaceable batteries).
