  - It's Netflix (only had a token theatrical release) - prayformojo Nov 24, 10:18 5

      - Yeah, Netflix knows what it's doing. -- nm - ty97 Nov 24, 10:24 2

Last week I decided to treat myself to a bottle of Jameson 'Stout Edition.' Not impressed :/ -- nm - Meg Nov 24, 09:28 4
- I have a bottle of their IPA CASK edition a friend brought back from Ireland, one of their better efforts -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 24, 12:51

- The bottom of the bottle is better than the top. - Spawn Nov 24, 09:29 1

  - Yes. We've seen tobacco charges for years. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 24, 09:37
- Flipping the thought - have there been anti-vacc calls to make vaccine users pay their own way for the shots? -- nm - Max Nov 24, 09:17
- all for it. I wish Canada would do the same. -- nm - Beaker Nov 24, 09:15 1
  - It feels like a good way to punish them for reneging on the social contract. - Beryllium Nov 24, 09:58
- I am kinda okay with it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 09:13 6
  - Even if you think it's cool (IT IS NOT COOL BTW) imagine the door it opens.... -- nm - ty97 Nov 24, 09:17 5
    - I also disagree because in the end, it may very well be family members that will be on the hook for the cost - Guigue Nov 24, 09:37 1
      - But this is not saying he had to stop something as awful as smoking. This is saying, get vaccinated. -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 10:24
    - It's timoTHEE coolest, ty97! I'm already prepping my "medical bill" costume for next Halloween. -- nm - Max Nov 24, 09:21

- Well done Baron! -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 24, 08:51

- Theres just a formula that works for them. -- nm - budice Nov 24, 08:41
Kelly, I don't recommend the 4DX. It's like going on a ride that lasts for 2 hours. The seats don't just rumble, they move, significantly shaking, up and down. -- (edited) - pmb Nov 24, 08:39 8
- I saw Mad Max with them and it was awesome. That's probably best case scenario for it. - Reagen Nov 24, 10:38

- Yeah, that sounds not good. But I *love* my Dolby Cinema. -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 09:00
- Thanks. I bought seats at the other available theater (which has nice spacious recliners). -- nm - kelly Nov 24, 08:57
- and for a contrasting view, I saw a Harry Potter film in that format and liked it but that was like a decade ago so who know what my current old self - JD Nov 24, 08:43
- I tried it once, by accident. I didn't last through the first trailer. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 24, 08:41
