…but did it not happen via purpose?

Honestly, all of the examples in your link sort of has me feeling it; it’s certainly not any less consistent.

I remember really liking it, when I first saw it, but I was in high school, at the time.

It’s a film (like many at the time) that’s much more influenced by the impact of 9/11 than Asimov.

You’ll probably be entertained though (it’s certainly still a competently made film) so I’d say watch it; that way you can know what others are referring to and be in on the cultural zeitgeist.

This; it’s only 3 months out of the year (well, at least the snow) and I like that there’s variety in my year.

Being an adult also means I get to choose when I go out, now, so the cold/snow bothers me even less.

But, like you said, I also live here because I like snow.
