Dominion Academy

They cannot sleep and spend every moment they aren't procrastinating writing papers for science fair.

Jurassic World Dominion 

A good movie hated for no reason. I think critics are those "jurassic park good because it's the original" people. Jurassic Park is a good movie but just because it's the original, doesn't mean you should hate the others. If they aren't those people then I don't know what to do.
Critic: "Jurassic World Dominion is an overhyped pile of shit."
Guy #1: "I think it's good."
Critic: "Jurassic Park is good, the rest are trash."
Guy #2: "Maybe you watched them with your eyes closed?"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
