Krusty, what do I need to do to get these? -- (link*) - jnine Apr 9, 09:14 8
- At retail? You need to enter every raffle you can and then cross your fingers. Otherwise, you can buy them from sites like Goat at resale prices. - Krusty Apr 9, 09:23 4
  - They're supposed to come out next week but I'm not sure where as they're not on the SNKRS app as of right now. - Krusty Apr 9, 09:27 3
    - Love those stitching laces! -- nm - jnine Apr 9, 09:55 1
      - It's a very well designed sneaker. I love them! I'll pay resale prices if I have to but hopefully we get lucky and can get them at retail. -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 10:15
    - They're supposedly being released on the 15th for Jackie Robinson Day. Thanks and please let me know if you get more info. -- nm - jnine Apr 9, 09:50
- Those are pretty sweet! Reminds me of the Ben&Jerry flavor I had, last night..."Change is Brewing" (Cold brew coffee, marshmallow, and fudge brownie) -- nm - Flavorize Apr 9, 09:20
- Ironically probably involves a hate crime. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 09:18 1
  - I'm down! - jnine Apr 9, 09:52
When everybody has a gun, everybody gets shot. 5 shot, 1 killed after sports bar fight. - Qale Apr 9, 09:10 3
- Not for nothing, but I hope the person killed was not one of the bystanders. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 9, 09:20
- Worst part…it probably was over the Cowboys. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 09:13 1
  - I'm not sure how many Cowboys fans we have in Houston. But it's very likely it's higher than the number of Texans fans. -- nm - Qale Apr 9, 09:25
It’s April 9th and we just had a white-out snow squall at noon. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 09:03 2

Hi from one of my favorite places to be, the patio in front of Bob's Donuts at Original Farmer's Market on a weekend morning -- (pic) - con_carne Apr 9, 08:14 [Attachment] 5
- I was just telling a friend we need to go there and the Grove. I haven't been since the pandemic. -- nm - jnine Apr 9, 09:04 2
  - Hopped over to Pan Pacific park, yeah, still the good ol place out here. Plenty of people out already before it gets less than crisp in the air -- nm - con_carne Apr 9, 09:34
  - Never noticed "Bryan's Pit Barbecue" before. I never have bbq. Just might try -- nm* - con_carne Apr 9, 09:21
- They've added a Trejo's Tacos and Nonna's, the state of the art West LA version of baked empanadas. Decisions for later! -- nm - con_carne Apr 9, 08:17
- Fun times! (NM) - Marlowe Apr 9, 08:15
Wow. Dwayne Haskins was killed this morning. Hit by a car. -- (link) - Volnelk Apr 9, 08:12 4
- This is most assuredly not what I wanted for my birthday. - the wrong element Apr 9, 09:47
- He was 24. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 9, 08:32
- That's terrible. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 08:29
- Jeebus! That's horrible. -- nm - Inigo Apr 9, 08:27
Ansel Elgort—terrible in West Side Story, but he’s pretty good in the Tokyo Vice show -- nm - Flavorize Apr 9, 07:57 5
- I thought he was adequate in WSS. -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 09:11 2
  - He was easily the worst thing in the movie. A charisma vacuum. Never for a moment bought him as a love interest for Maria. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 9, 10:17
  - Yeah—he was *fine*—just not special but took away from the overall movie quality imo. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 9, 10:03
- I'm thinking of watching it. What's your thoughts? -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 08:29 1
  - Cultural bits that are highlighted make it a fascinating/fun world to get absorbed into. A bit of a slow burn and some noir to it....slight spoils - Flavorize Apr 9, 08:48
Bluetooth v FCA/Stellantis, who ya got? - TWuG Apr 9, 07:56
Hi from Du Par's on Fairfax. Nother post-pandemic first. Just ordered sp - con_carne Apr 9, 07:05 9

  - Birthday Twin is having a good time, I see. -- nm - Qale Apr 9, 09:01
  - Yum! How were the movies at the Tarantino theater? -- nm - Flavorize Apr 9, 07:55 3
    - I wanted to go to Hard Boiled this weekend but all three nights are sold out. Thinking of showing up tomorrow night for holdout. We'll see -- nm - con_carne Apr 9, 08:07
    - Rio Bravo thought it was a new print. Wasn't. Didn't matter. Assault was the newer print actually - con_carne Apr 9, 08:05 [Backboard] 1
      - Terrific—sounds like it was a blast! Definitely hear ya on your 35mm thoughts -- nm - Flavorize Apr 9, 08:25
  - Dayam! Been ages since I had one of those! -- nm - zunk xometimes Apr 9, 07:17
  - do want -- nm - mafic Apr 9, 07:12 1
    - Leaning in on the "somehow comes with a pickle and powered sugar together" idea. No ragrets! -- nm - con_carne Apr 9, 07:30

BoxOfficeFri: Sonic 26.5M/70M, Ambulance 2.7M/8M, EEAAO 2M/6M -- nm* - budice Apr 9, 06:25 24
- Just found out Ambulance only has a 17 day window. Why are studios still doing this? Idiots. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 07:10 8
  - At 8mil open, come May 1st, it’s not on screens anyhow. Strange takes over. This likely won’t touch 20. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:11 7
    - I’d argue the window hurt potential gross. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 07:19 6
      - that assumes a lot more familiarity with release patterns than norms have. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 07:41
      - If it makes 8, it’ll do 3.5 next week, 2 the week after. There’s no window issue…it’s just a bad box office. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:40 4
        
        I'm just saying if there wasn't a window maybe it does $12M opening weekend, etc. But Reagan may be right above, that folks don't know windows -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 07:44 3
        
        I would say the problems are, in no particular order - bad generic title, not a ton of star power and no big wow moments in the trailer. - Reagen Apr 9, 07:52 1
        
        Makes sense to me. And yes to your IM/Will's comment. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 08:29
        
        There are very few dead spots worth noting. Early April isn’t one. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:50
- I've seen tons of stuff for Sonic and Everything Everwhere - I don't even know what Ambulance is. - JaxSean Apr 9, 06:54 5
  - I have seen the Everything trailer in front of three movies. Not a TV spot. Ambulance was everywhere, for months. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 11:08
  - We had bus shelter ads in NYC for it. -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 07:53 1
    - Did they read "IMAX Ambulance"? Saw those too! Heh. -- nm - con_carne Apr 9, 11:39
  - If you know the name of the movie is Ambulance you know what the movie is. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 9, 07:28
  - Seriously? I'm thankful to the gods that it's finally out so I never have to see another ad. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 06:56
- Holy crap how is ambu so low??? -- nm - Pocket Jones Apr 9, 06:25 8
  - It looks hysterical… which is not a selling point cause it’s not a comedy. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 06:27 7
    - Super Bowl ad money well spent! -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 06:57
    - As I stated on b2, it was exactly what I wanted. And the audience WOM will be great. Wish it had done better. -- nm* - MDH Apr 9, 06:39 5
      - I can’t get past the idiotic premise. Spoils from ads. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:10 2
        
        Heh your IM does have some parts of it. The last paragraph isn’t correct though. - MDH Apr 9, 07:20 1
        
        That is not a selling point for the quality of this. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:57
      - I can't believe that cheap bastard Norman won't go see it until Tuesday. -- nm - Pocket Jones Apr 9, 07:02 1
        
        It needed a half hour cut but I ate that popcorn like it Was my job. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 07:09
