Your site doesn't appear to work in FireFox. I really like the concept though.

Site works for me in the latest mainstream desktop/Win10 version (other than the Spotify stuff that only plays a snippet since I don't have an account).

I just want to throw a +1 on "today's Netflix binge" which is Ozark. What a fantastic show. Has a great Breaking Bad feel to it; and if you liked Arrested Development, Jason Bateman is basically playing the same character… a family-first business guy who did break bad :)

Windows 10 user with the latest stable build of FF reporting, the website is broken on my end.

Only issue I'm having is the alignment (Firefox 75 on Linux). Which looking at the source they're using the align attribute on the body which only works on divs in firefox.

If it's helpful for the author I was able to do a quick fix for myself with Stylus by adding: body { text-align: center; }

Another option would be warping everything that needs to be centered in a div and putting the align attribute on that.

Really nice work, I'll share this around. One minor quibble..."Outbreak" is a terrible movie, bad enough that I'd say don't bother with it. Some good actors, but writing terrible enough that it doesn't help. "Contagion", on the other hand is very well researched, with better acting. It's also interesting how many of the sub-plots and terminology are happening in real life, right now.

I searched "criticism movie outbreak' but found nothing. Would you feel like sharing more about why you dislike it? assuming you have some key/potent and useful examples from scenes.

Are you really suggesting there's no criticism of the film on the internet? The film has a 59% on Rotten Tomatoes with plenty of criticism available there.

Personally, I watched it for the first time about a week ago, and was hoping for a movie that was primarily about a virus outbreak. Which it was, for the first hour or so. After that it became a generic (and comically over-dramatic) 90s action movie about the military being bad or something. I wouldn't say it's unwatchable, and it's definitely helped by its all-star cast, but I would agree that if you want to watch a movie about a virus outbreak, you're better off watching Contagion.
