Changes

What have they done to Google Translate? I hate it! How am I supposed to use it now? I have some friends who can't speak a lick of English, and Google Translate was what we used to communicate. Now there's this useless drawing tool. Uh, what am I supposed to with that, draw my friend a picture? Facebook's timeline thing is dumb, too. I keep clicking "Delete Post." It deletes it, but then it comes back! I refresh the page and there it is, like that cell phone in Bruce Almighty, when he chucks it out the window, watches it get run over, and then Bruce turns and sees it on his chair. It's not going away, I'm doing everything, I'm even Googling the instructions on how to use these sites; which until they reformatted them was something I never even had to consider. gURL.com doesn't let me log out until I've tried seven times, YouTube's deleted my entire Inbox page, and yet here I am swearing up and down that yes, I did waste three months of my childhood taking computer courses. I hate this B.S.

QUALM

Questionably Unsubtle And Large Mistakes ("QUALM")
--

SHREK
1.] In the first movie, Shrek hangs his pants on a tree branch to bathe. However, he does not hang his shirt or vest.
2.] In the second movie, how do "Sargeant Pompous and the Fancy Pants Club Band" know where Shrek and Fiona live? They were expecting to see a prince and a princess, and yet they go directly to the swamp.
SHREK 2
The first blooper I've found is near the end, and everyone's dancing...again. Pinocchio has been transformed from a puppet, to a real boy, back to a puppet. But when he jumps into the audience and they carry him, he's a real boy again, and then two seconds later he's a puppet!

FINDING NEMO
1.] Just before Dory smacks into Marlin, she screams LOOK OUT! And then, two seconds later, she says, "I didn't see you!"
2.] How come Dory is always able to remember her name?
3.] Twice, Nemo stops the filter, and both times, Gill and the others pull seaweed to save him. It's the same piece.
4.] Darla is poking the fish tank, and Peach says, "Find a happy place!" The tank is placed in another room altogether. A woman says, "Your uncle will see you now", and all of a sudden the tank is back in the dentist's office!


SIMS LIFE STORIES
1.] Your Sim does not have a life insurance policy unless she dies of old age. Accidental deaths do not include life insurance policies.
2.] The mail carriers walk by your house only once a day. Unlike any other Sim, they do not walk past your lot again to go home. They are all teenagers, but their Skills & Career panel says they are not students. It also says they are unemployed. When did mail delivery stop being a job, and WHO are my Sims giving tips to?
3.] When your Sim gets a job as a newspaper deliverer, why do they still get a mailman? They should come out of that carpool holding a newspaper in their own hands!
4.] My Sims have a lot of friends, and to keep them I need to invite them over sometimes. Keeping that in mind, when my Sim calls an employed friend, there's a fifty percent chance she won't be home when I call. So, how come when I activate a household, in which a Sim was invited out, it doesn't say "Visiting Someone" beside their name?
5.] In the introduction, Riley is seen wearing a white wedding dress, which is not in the game at all. She also has a Teenager's voice, but is an Adult.

Two And A Half Pieces Of

Here's how Two And A Half Men should have ended:
S6E11 hints that Charlie's will gives Berta his big, beautiful beach house. Why didn't they go with that? One of Berta's quotes is also, "If life were fair, I'd have my own talk show and you'd be scrubbing my toilets." That would have been a much better direction for the show. Berta would own the house, do her talk shows inside, kind of like how Charlie now does his therapy sessions in his house ("Anger Management"). Alan would be the supporting character, who cleans her house, but he would still be afraid of Berta. She would be the millionaire, not Walden. Ashton Butcher - I mean Kutcher - ruined the show; it was great until Charlie was killed off and he came in. Herb would  occasionally come in and maybe Berta could have a fling with him.  Sixteen or seventeen years pass and he makes another reappearance,  only to find that she has a daughter. And because Berta's a redhead and Herb is so tall; their daughter would HAVE to be portrayed by Laura Prepon. Hands down. Jake would come back from the army and become smitten with Berta's daughter. Chelsea and Mia would return, be informed of Charlie's death (because, oddly enough they haven't been yet), and after hearing the family's speculations that "Rose did it", they would take her to court. But, who knows? Maybe Charlie pops back into the scene. The body was, after all, burned beyond recognition...
Maybe he would walk right into the court room and interrupt the trial. Rose could say "Damn" and it would break for commercial. Or whatever. Anything's better than this; which, for some reason, they think is good enough to continue. Are they even still getting viewers? Because they ruined it. They could have done so much more; they have amazing potential, as we see in each episode of The Big Bang Theory...But it's too late now. Charlie's dead, he has a daughter who is way too much like Charlie for the show to gain back some pride; and Conchata Ferrell is, well, seventy. Much as I adore Berta, this show has gone down the crapper since dear Charlie died. Berta could have been the backbone to straighten it all out; she's the only respectable character left. However if they brought in Mia or Chelsea again, it might be 2% better. But that's still asking a lot for this show these days.

Lorre, Prady; TBBT is wonderful. Two And A Half Men is not. Focus on TBBT. And for the love of God, keep everyone alive, please. Especially Shamy. What a perfect pairing. And Bernadette! She's so cute, and has layers to her which surprise me with each new episode. Bernadette, Sheldon and Amy are three of the best television characters!
