'How to Train Your Dragon' Has Tempered My Disdain for Live-Action Remakes

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-14 07:20:00

I go into live-action remakes with an air of spite and the lowest expectations, and I typically walk out feeling like those emotions are justified. Cue the unimaginative plot, vapid characters and uninspired cinematography, and that is the bulk of these money-making ploys. But the How to Train Your Dragon remake from DreamWorks, in theaters now, admittedly left me awestruck.

Your TV's USB port is criminally underrated: 5 features you're not using enough

Object personification in autism: This paper will be sad if you don't read (2018)

news.ycombinator.com White Rc Remington A 2025-09-14 10:34:48

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestion that object personification may be a feature of autism seems almost paradoxical. Why would a person experience sympathy for objects, when they struggle to understand and verbalise the emotions of ot
