<i>Repeating my goodwill for you: I hope you never experience a genuine personal attack.</i>
Yeap, I agree yours was kinda meh... but don't feel bad for it. I'm sure you tried your best :-)
"<i>Then by internet metrics that makes you a snowflake</i>"
And more insults and personal attacks...
"<i>'Get a life' is a personal attack now?</i>"
... said by some anonymous guy in internet, suddenly storming in the middle of a debate with political hints?
Yeap. It is.
Anything else you want to say beyond personal attacks? Something like an actual argument?
Actually, asking about the weather was extremely logical if you have to rescue them.
Back them everybody used to be much more efficient and far less emotional, to the point that nowadays people find that answer laughable. Nowadays, what's considered correct is to give some kind of emotional support "<i>we are with you</i>" or something like that, instead of that cold "give us info about the weather".
Of course she's clearly Asian. If Idris Elba can be a viking and Tessa Thompson and valkyrie, and Halle Bailey can be a Dannish mermaid, then obviously Scarlett can be Asian.
(1) That's not true. World War 1 started with a Serbian military mobilization towards Austria, then Austria declared war, then Russia joined, and then Germany.

Germany was the 4th country to join WW1.
(2) Even, EVEN it that was true, you'd be justifying the massacre of hundreds of thousands of prisoners because "<i>well they started the war!</i>"
Germany had a quarrel with Jews too, since German Jew community, that was supposed to be loyal to Germany, supported Britain during WW1 (Britain was the key to obtain the land of Israel). Now imagine back in the day somebody claims about the Holocaust and the nazi answers "<i>well they started it betraying our country!</i>".
Be careful with your arguments, because <b>arguments are like swords</b>: they can cut both ways.
Ah, the famous space asteroid scene in The African Queen, you're right :-)
<blockquote>The Indian community have created a lot of wealth in Canada. They work hard.</blockquote>
<b>Working hard is necessary, but it's far from enough to create wealth</b>. Indians work hard in India too. In Europe, the countries where people work the most hours are Greece and Spain. No kidding.
You want to create wealth? You need people that are professional and meritocratic as a core value. You need people that are non-selfish, polite and collaborative, BUT at the same time very assertive and highly demanding about professionalism and a work properly done. You need people highly ordered and able to respect contracts as a core value. If they just obey the law, that's good, but not enough.
Germany is not wealthy because Germans work hard, but because they work <b>as a perfect clockwork mechanism</b>. It's not about working harder, but about working more efficiently individually and as a group. They have a proverb: "<i>lazy people are busy in the evening</i>".
In that eerie style, there's a little unknown gem called The City of the Dead AKA Horror Hotel (1960)

I wouldn't recommend that. This one is scary. It's good, but scary.
And there was going to be a series recently, including one of my favorite actresses, Toks Olagundoye. Sadly, it didn't go beyond the pilot :-(
Well, be aware that in that movie there's no monster like in Aliens. There's a threat, but it's different. And no more spoilers.
The movie feels a lot like Aliens (the second one), though. It's almost the same situation (underwater base instead of scifi base) and it was made by the very same director, James Cameron, just a couple of years after he made Aliens.
And damn, I forgot The Thing (1982), the classic from Carpenter. This is a masterpiece.

:^P
Shutter Island and Hereditary as 'non psychological horror'? 😂 😝
If you liked Timecrimes, check Triangle (2009)
A nice option to watch with your wife is Spellbound (2011). It's a korean romantic comedy dressed as a horror movie. A couple of jumpscares, but they're more cute than scary
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2132405/
Abyss (1989) is like a non-scary underwater version of Aliens.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/
The Relic (1997) is a very well done monster movie. It's not really scary, and it's very entertaining. This one, I recommend it. The low score in iMDB is quite unfair.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120004/
Deep Blue Sea (1999), another very well done monster movie. More like an action thriller with monster.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149261/
Tremors (1990) if you want some (surprisingly well done) B-series.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100814/
Arachnophobia (1990), with tarantulas. Quite nice, probably the best 'killer bugs' movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099052/
Pitch Black (2000), Vin Diesel vs alien monsters. Lots of fun.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134847/
Mimic (1997), more like a mystery thriller with monsters

Most of anime in US is owned by Crunchyroll, which belongs to Warner. That means that probably you should look towards them. It seems that Warner wants to close Crunchyroll as a separated entity and make anime an important part of their stream service.
Bad news is that Crunchyroll has become infamous for including western politics when dubbing dialogues that weren't political in the Japanese original. Of course, you can just use the Japanese track and subtitles, which is much better.
