  • The old movie was way better than the book

    I’m going to disagree with you there. The addition of the scene where Charlie Bucket and Grandpa Joe surreptitiously consume the Fizzy Lifting drink against Willy Wonka’s instructions completely undermines their characters as the “polite, non-entitled ticketholders”. This forced the screenwriters to add the Slugworth scene at the end of the film to provide a reason why Charlie should be given the factory.

    The new movies are complete trash

    While the 2005 movie also has its flaws, they at least didn’t change critical aspects of the plot, and also preserved the Oompa Loompa songs as they were in the book.









  • I’ve had issues with this as well.

    Yep, it is client side. It might not work for all uses. It only normally hides at most 200 posts in my average use case.

    I don’t mind it being slow, but it might be nice to have an indicator that the app is still doing something in the background, and hasn’t frozen or crashed.

    How does the app determine when enough posts have been hidden? Does it just hide the last 500 read posts, or does it keep hiding posts until it finds 50 unread posts?

    Would it be possible to display any of this information to the user while the process is running?
