youless @youless (113174) • Guangzhou, China 15 May

I know the new version of Snow White movie doesn't seem to be popular, but I can't believe its rating is so low. Now you can see it's just 1.6/10. I wonder whether I have seen so low rating before I am curious about...

rsa101 Yikes, that was a close call! Glad you spotted it in time. Sounds like snakes are a pretty common sight in your area, especially after the rain. Just take care while you're out walking—don’t want any unexpected surprises underfoot! Stay safe!
