WTF? An ACTUAL in-the-theatres, big-budget LEGO movie is coming. o.o

Oh hell yeah there is!

I saw the trailer a while ago and I'm incredibly excited.

I built literally millions of LEGO things in my time, so it holds a special place in my heart.

Also Chris Pratt is amazing.

I think he's been in literally billions of roles and he's great in literally every single one.

[sub/]seriously though, stop arguing about shit that doesn't matter in a thread that isn't about that[/sub]

It's only annoying because the informal usage defeats the purpose. Using literally without literally meaning literally literally removes the purpose of the word and puts it in the realm of other words for emphasis like "like" or "seriously". The whole point of the word was to not exaggerate. If people keep using literally like they do we need to come up with something new to fill the gap, which is a pain in the ass and it means the idiots win.

As for the movie itself, funny stuff. Looking forward to it. It looks like one of those things that are so stupid but in the best possible way. Hardly the most unique plot, but it's fun to sit back and enjoy something every now and again.

Newspeak bullshit

Using it as 'newspeak' is incorrect, people have been using it for literally hundreds of years. No, seriously, I'm using the word correctly in that sentence, for more than a hundred years people have used 'literally' incorrectly. When people say that it's a new thing, what I hear is that they're holding an opinion on something they don't know anything about.
OT: At the first trailer I was cringing but it looks interesting now, shame that 90% of the audience will be toddlers.
