And don’t forget GRAVEDIGGER
Still remember the first show I went to; totally blew my mind. They’re so much fun.
I like it, but the Batman-esque “pow” and “splat” effects got old pretty quick. Hopefully that can be disabled or it’s not as excessive as it seems. Otherwise looks very fun. Local co-op is always a good time.
Why do you want to know? I didn’t do anything!
File for an extension? That would at least buy you some time, and as far as I’m aware, it’s free to do so. I’ve never done it, though, so I’m not sure if there are other implications.
I would tend to agree, but none of the food is really offensive smelling (I guess that’s subjective) but the other thing is that you’re pretty far away, unless they’re sitting right next to you, which is rare these days in all but the most popular opening weekend shows. From row to row (front to back) you’re separated by roughly 5-6 feet horizontally and maybe 3 feet vertically. Enough that I can recline fully (another awesome feature of most modern theaters) and there’s still room for someone to walk through in front of me without turning aside for my feet. And then when standing in your row, your feet are just above the heads of those seated in front of you. It works really well.
Honestly, if you haven’t been In a while, it might be worth checking out. Of course each theater can vary in quality and guest experience — I once went to a theater where their “fresh cooked pizza” was a cheap frozen pizza put through a fancy pizza oven and never went back — but in my opinion theaters are, on average, drastically improved from the 80s/90s/00s era theaters of old. Even if they are more expensive now, a good theater makes a nice occasional outing if you can find a good one. I wouldn’t go back to the old style.
And make sure you find one with a good rewards program if you become a regular. It can really cut down on the cost of tickets and concessions.
Good questions—
Yes, eat while watching. It’s no louder than eating popcorn. All the food is served in paper trays or cardboard, so the sound is still relatively quiet. In fact I think candy, especially the bagged kinds, are far louder from the bag crinkling. Lots of people around me have eaten food and it doesn’t disturb the movie. The movie itself is far louder.
There is seating in the bar area if you’d prefer to eat before or after the movie, but it’s not required.
No, all the seats are the same price, at least at my theater.
My theater also has a full bar and really good food. Actual handmade wood-fired pizzas, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, fries, pretzel bites, etc. All made fresh after you order; it’s not sitting under a heat lamp. I think they have reasonable prices.
Even better, you can carry just your popcorn and drink into the theater, and they’ll deliver the rest of your food to your seat when it’s ready. Pretty awesome, especially with kids, to not have to figure out how to transport all of it.
Pretty much every theater does assigned/reserved seating nowadays. You choose your seat numbers when you buy the ticket. No need to show up early to try to scout the best seat or score 5 in a row or whatever. They’re just saying they go to their ticketed seat.
Read something. You won’t be able to get more than a few words in a dream. Doesn’t matter what it is: billboard, menu, homework, whatever. It’s one of the easier ways to tell if you’re dreaming.
Yes, please ask me to effectively take a pay cut to pay to drive across town so I can sit at a non-customizable hot desk to join virtual meetings with resources all over the globe. But it’s ok because in return I get to be interrupted constantly by people physically bothering me with a question in the name of “collaboration” instead of opening a ticket or sending an email like a normal person. Genius. I can’t understand why everyone’s complaining. (/s in case it wasn’t obvious).
All ten tons burned well.
I agree. I do like the tri color and would have been happy with it, but there’s a quote from whom I cannot remember that essentially is “flag design is finding the perfect flag and then dialing it down a notch”. And to that end, I think it succeeds wonderfully.
It’s modern but classic. Detailed but not busy. Inclusive but not all-encompassing. It’s pretty amazing.
I am glad they changed the star design; I think the new one is much better.
Here’s what he’s doing: not launching a damn thing. Maybe he should be focused on getting BE-4 production into the double digits in engines made and certified for flight before we worry about the millions of space colonies.
What a virtue signaling piece of shit. Fuck all these “white straight Christians are the only true Americans” douchebags and everyone that supports them.
America has, and always has been, a melting pot of immigrants and viewpoints. This sort of behavior has no place in our society, and these people should have no place in government, let alone our community in general, at any level.
Said the same thing in the Movies thread, but 61 is waaaay too young. Would love to have seen him around longer.
61 is too damn young to go.
Pretty much. Amazing how everyone’s ultimate favorites are almost always something they heard from ages 14 - 25 at a formative point in their lives. I know that’s still very much my wheelhouse of music even still today.
I love Awake, Images and Words, Metropolis Pt 2, and the second disc of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, but I really enjoy the ones where the entire album is basically a modern symphony from start to finish and ToT just hits every note for me perfectly.
There are more polished albums, I’ll grant you, but it was the first one I heard and still seems to be the one I constantly return to, so I figure it’s my favorite of theirs. For better or worse!
He was brilliant in The Good Place.
