This is the way. I have an LG and bought one for my parents. Do the initial sign up/registration, then turn off Internet access. I actually thought mine was broken when I got it, but it was just my pihole blocking it. Temporary whitelist for setup, smooth sailing since.

The original Romero zombie movie series deserves its own discussion IMO. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite.

I'm a huge Bruce Campbell fan. The 28 pair is a good call, too. I'd take 28 days over 28 Weeks Later.

Favorite horror movie? (sh.itjust.works)
 

It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

Chinese pop music? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Not at all, I'm old. Really just curious if there was a current pop scene there or not.

It's a classic answer, E.T. on the Atari 2600.

What's the worst pick up line you've ever heard? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I remember a thread on the network that shall not be named wit this question that brought me much joy. I'll start with a couple I remember:

Did you fall from heaven? Because your face is really messed up.

You've got wrench eyes, when I look at you my nuts tighten.

I apologize if this is not appropriate, or the right community, still getting used to lemmy!
