Is the "American Gods" tv-series worth owning on Blu-Ray? - ore-o Sep 5, 10:35 5
- S1 - A+, S2 - B+, S3 - D for Didn't Even Finish -- nm - mud Sep 5, 10:38
- The 00s called. They want their physical media back. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 5, 10:37 3
  - Reason I asked was because it isn't on Netflix (but on "Starz" - whatever that is). -- nm - ore-o Sep 5, 10:52
  - No, really. You've wracked up a serious late fee charge on it by now. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 10:47 1

Continuing the ST trend: We're going to the Drive-In to see Shang Chi (and Jungle Cruise) tonight. - Inigo Sep 5, 10:23 19
- 👍👍👍 Bengies? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 5, 10:25 18
  - Yup, is that where you went Friday? -- nm - Inigo Sep 5, 10:27 17
    - No. We were talking about this last night - we haven't been back since we met you and Kelly there. The overly militant rules enforcement turned us off - prayformojo Sep 5, 10:33 16
      - Yeah, I hate the crazy rules. I don't blame you. It's just the only one that's close for me. - Inigo Sep 5, 10:34 15
        
        That's the first 2/3rds of the lineup we stayed for last night. Left before Dont Breathe 2 started. There were still a lot of cars left when we drove - prayformojo Sep 5, 10:37
        
        What kind of rules? -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 10:36 13
        
        Here you go. -- (link) - Inigo Sep 5, 10:39 11
        
        Wow. They all make sense, but damn. So much has changed in the... whoa... almost 40 years since I lived at my grandparents drive in. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 10:46 6
        
        at my favourite second-run movie house in Winnipeg 40 years ago I'd smoke sometimes. It wasn't allowed but no one cared. -- nm - mud Sep 5, 10:49 3
        
        The guys that ran projection always enjoyed visiters. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 10:52 2
        
        you probly got your first high from the residual smoke. -- nm - mud Sep 5, 10:54 1
        
        Yes - Spawn Sep 5, 10:55
        
        It's the dickish way they are about all the rules. They're very unhelpful and huffy. -- nm - Inigo Sep 5, 10:48 1
        
        Yeah, I can imagine. Back in the day you didn't need rules because common sense existed. Enforcing would be a nightmare. Sounds like they went the - Spawn Sep 5, 10:50
        
        It's cute that they yell about the lights on the cars, but then say safety first. Cars move, seeing where you go is *important*. - Will Hunting Sep 5, 10:44 3
        
        I've gotten there one time after dark and it felt very unsafe. People walking by you constantly, and the dashboard light makes it tough to see them. -- nm - Inigo Sep 5, 10:50 2
        
        You always dim your dashboard lights. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 10:53 1
        
        Even dimmed it was still tough to see. -- nm - Inigo Sep 5, 10:54

  - That's Disney's 4-day estimate. $71.4 million for the 3-day weekend. $83.5 million for the 4-day weekend. -- nm* - Inigo Sep 5, 10:04
- So, they're saying a 20% Sunday dropoff, and another 35% drop on Monday. Oh, Disney. They need to get someone better doing their estimates. -- nm - Inigo Sep 5, 09:55 1
  - Does anyone here have an in with Disney? -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 09:56

College football summary -- Let's skip to Alabama, Georgia, Clemson as our top 3, and Ohio State vs Oklahoma as a play-in game for the 4th spot. - Will Hunting Sep 5, 06:44 6
- They just need to rank the conferences outright and do promotion and relegation. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 5, 07:40
- I'm not convinced Clemson can make it even if they run the table. - Strongbad Sep 5, 06:48 4
  - For me the more teams argument is to get more underserved teams in. - Will Hunting Sep 5, 07:14
  - As long as Georgia doesn't lose twice, Clemson'll have as good an argument as any 1 loss team. They played a 1-play game vs a top 3 team - Will Hunting Sep 5, 06:56 1
    - They'll have... 0 quality wins? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 5, 07:35
  - It seems like it's the same teams that make the BCS every single year. Maybe one new one here and there but otherwise - Krusty Sep 5, 06:53

    - they never applied for a patent. they just wanted to kill. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 4, 22:02 1
      - Also, they were just semi-sentient agents of the true AI. Presumably an AI that was mad it couldn't patent them. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 22:16

  - It worked surprisingly well. I'd love to know how that came to be. -- nm - prayformojo Sep 4, 22:00 2
    - It sounds like it was 100% James Newton Howard’s idea. -- nm - David Sep 4, 22:04 1
