Maybe it's because I was a teen in the 90s but it sure seemed to be the thing to emulate then. I'm not the only here by far to grow up around then though so more voices would be helpful.

I guess in some ways Go kind of carries on the spirit of teen movies even if its characters are a few years older. It's that same general arc of naive young people being precipitated by their own youth and inexperience into situations whose consequences could be way more severe than they're used to.
That movie is great
I think it's one of the few comedies I've seen that's funny and dark right through to the very end. Most comedies tend to let up and go for a mawkish laugh-free conclusion to the main ark. Not so, Go.
Wait: where's Manny?
the perennial problem in comedy is that stories generally demand plots (which require tension and stakes) but at the same time comedy requires a degree of surprise and subversion of expectations to work. So you end up with a lot of comedies where the plot kind of muscles out the laughs for the last half hour or so. This gets compounded by filmmakers who mistake SHOUTING AND MAYHEM for humor. The end of the Blues Brothers is a classic example. Everyone quotes the great lines from the beginning, hardly anyone mentions the 200 police cars destroyed in various ways at the end.
I want to disagree.
Put you make solid points.
But I still want to disagree
Maybe it's rose colored glasses, or maybe I just don't think that shift hurt the blues brothers as a movie.
discovered I had actually already paid for Mountain Lion, so have that on a clean install now. seems to be working well, though the computer still lags/crashes sometimes. currently playing with Mobile Mouse instead of suing my not very nice mac mouse.
I'm also fond of those six girl's names more common norwegian forms while only two of the boys names even have a norwegian form that's used. (Sofie, Emma, Isabell, Olivia, Eva, Emilie, no silent letters, all i's are the ee sound, and Jakob and Noa, pronounced Jakop and Nooah)
which is probably why I like those more

Apple makes amazing hardware.
Mice is not one of the good things they make. In fact, their mice are terrible as a rule. Trackpads are great though.
Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? How many OS installs have you done on this hard drive?

I like Liam as a name; it's pretty and Irish, what more do you want?
I also really like Sophia--it's pretty, it's traditional, and it means 'wisdom' which is something I would want my daughters to have. The only downside is its insane popularity. Your daughter will not be the only Sophia in her class.
Beyond that: I like gender-neutral names, like Sasha and Chris (particularly when given to the less-traditionally associated gender, like Sasha for boys and Chris for girls). You get one guess about my politics and how that relates.

if I get a son and we agree to name him Arne after my father
then when she's tripping balls from the epidural and endorphins I'll name him Arnelius after my great-great grandfather. Who went by Arne, but he was named Arnelius and that's awesome.

If you have a Mac that is slow or crashing after a clean install, something is wrong with the (in descending order of likelihood): HDD/SSD, RAM, Cooling Fans, GPU, CPU. The first is easy enough to check if you have a spare USB hard drive. You can install the OS directly on that and see if performance improves.

I used to be iffy about unusual names that looked like three other names had crashed into each other and some awful hybrid beast had wandered away from the wreckage. Sharoniqua, Devonisha and the amazing Jermajesty. They sounded silly, attention-seeking and kinda dumb. But I can see the point now, I think. It's your kid. They're amazing and you think they're the best thing in the world, so you try and reach for a name that's different or something you think could be beautiful because plain old John and Jane ain't cutting it for your amazing bundle of joy.
I mean, it's still attention seeking and silly, but there's probably a lot of love in those names as well.
The ones where the name crosses the line into essentially making your kid's name a punchline remain terrible.

My Mom was in the delivery unit, delirious after a long, long delivery, and hearing the woman in the next unit having her child's name taken down. Her name was pronounced ambiguously by the mom as "C(o/u)ntrilla." The nurse asked: "so how do you spell that: is that C-U-N, or C-O-N?"
My mom, from apart the partition, just yelled: "C-O-N! YOU SPELL CONTRILLA WITH AN O!"

These aren't the names of people walking the streets right now. These are the names of infants people our age are naming.
So yes, there is going to be a generation of Emmas and Aidens and Aryas and whatnot.
edit: and in rebellion, THEY are going to name their kids shit like Hope, Chastity, and Constance.

Good names. Ava is one I'm neutral about. But the rest are names I like.

eeeeh. Also I don't think I'll ever not be at least slightly bothered by the last name as first name thing you guys do.
I'm actually very glad we have laws against this kind of stuff

Aiden is one of those horrible names that white suburban trophy wives give their sons
also stuff like Hunter, Jordan, Mason, etc
we are on the same wavelength here
