Among Us animated series announced with cast -- (link) - budice Mar 15, 11:31 4

Two years ago today we signed a contract to sell our old house... -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 11:20 3
- Nice. We are coming up on the 1 year for the closing of our house. And YES, we still have boxes to unpack. - sycor Mar 15, 12:05
- How happy are you with the solar? -- nm - David Mar 15, 11:23 1
  - Immensely. The savings was right on target and we should be net 0 this year with the extra panels we put on at the end of the summer. -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 11:25
casino window closing in an hour nic and date please -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 15, 11:17 6
- this is the 2nd draw and I have mop and spawn for 3/15 -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 15, 12:31 2
  - I sent over 2 hours ago. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 12:45
  - and that's the reason I ask to have the date in the message, so YOU know as well as I do. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 15, 12:34
- I hate to ask, but have been sick. Is this the third one of late, or second? I know I paid for a second, but that was the last. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 11:18 2
  - Ditto. Is this the second? -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 15, 11:18 1

LYC: I did the touchless ID tsa precheck with United on my flight to New Orleans on Tuesday night. Man was that slick. Walk up, face recognized, - oblique Mar 15, 11:01 3
- But, but, but, now you're obviously in the system ;-) - JD Mar 15, 11:09 2
  - As a feature of TSA PreCheck, it's a no-brainer. I already gave them all my info (and/or it was already there in my passport) -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 11:18
  - somewhere in the government is a digital xray image of your junk... -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 15, 11:16

As the Warner Bros suits begin to blame Suicide Squad for everything but the weather, the newly released game's price is almost slashed in half - Spawn Mar 15, 10:32 7
- ugh I was hoping the game would be fun. -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 10:43 4
  - I watched the cut scenes. Rubbish. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 11:03 3
    - Wait. Isn't that opposite of pre-release criticism? The trailer was all cut scenes? So essentially just a trailer. - JD Mar 15, 11:11 2
      - I am speaking to the story-line. Game play could be phenomenal but a rubbish story makes a rubbish game. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 11:13 1
        
        Oh. I accept this as a valid criticism 8-) - JD Mar 15, 11:22
- Maybe if they also slashed its alleged suckage by half... (NM) - Marlowe Mar 15, 10:37
- We have an unopened copy sitting on the dresser. -- nm - David Mar 15, 10:35

  - If you beat the leprechaun to the finish line, do you get to keep them? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 15, 10:04 2
    - No, but it was a good excuse to buy some new (green) running gear. -- nm - Dano Mar 15, 10:07 1

Colin Cloud at the Fringe Festival. My trip has just been justified. - Mop🧹 Mar 15, 09:37 1
- Ah, I see. Despite being tagged as "Comedy" and "Magic", he doesn't show up in the "comedy" categories. - Mop🧹 Mar 15, 11:18
Taxes = filed -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Mar 15, 09:36 7
- My plan for this weekend is to attempt to personally do my taxes for the first time in my life - decline Mar 15, 09:42 4
  - They’re pretty easy to do unless you’ve got a bunch of different sources of income. - Tim Mar 15, 10:03 2
    - yeah, I've got some business income and other things. - decline Mar 15, 10:15
    - Figuring out how to handle the 529 withdrawals this year really added to the time needed to do them. Turbo Tax sent me down the wrong road. -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Mar 15, 10:08
  - 😺👍 you can do it! -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 15, 09:56
- Texas = defiled -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 09:38 1

A new HarrisX study: Two-Thirds of U.S. adults would rather wait to watch movies on streaming - decline Mar 15, 09:22 34
- without exhibition, the future of features is the river of shit that flows weekly on Netflix. have fun -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 15, 10:05 10
  - The future of features is films you build on a smart device and display on your digital wall. -- nm - David Mar 15, 11:09 6
    - "Hey we found the guy who just wants AI to make up all his dumbshit content!" -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 15, 11:28 3
      - "No, it's the children who are wrong." - David Mar 15, 11:42 2
        
        "everyone" would prefer not to pay for anything they stream at home either. doesn't mean you have to just give your product away -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 15, 11:48 1
        
        All kidding aside and as politely as I can say this, you should read these survey results carefully. And it's coming from a decidedly pro-movie source - David Mar 15, 11:53
    - Digital wall? Like in Fahrenheit 451? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 11:25 1
      - Already exists. It's just a variant of the NBA All-Star game floors. -- nm - David Mar 15, 11:42
  - and on a love to argue with you standpoint, there's gonna be Apple funding alternating projects ;-) - JD Mar 15, 10:56 2
    - i think as soon as Spielberg, Scorsese, Coppola and Cameron are gone, Hollywood will never fund their kinds of movies again, esp not for streaming -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 15, 11:04 1
      - Hmmm...I'm with you on the streaming part but I kind of differ at least with regards to Cameron (especially) and perhaps Spielberg - JD Mar 15, 11:20
- I'm clearly not an US adult. At most a third of one. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 15, 09:49
- I think the last straw for us was our local theater increasing the audio in IMAX. They lost Kim when they did that. -- nm - David Mar 15, 09:42 7
  - not being a smartass here, I think that might be a function of age. I remember taking my parents to Jurassic Park and mom covering her ears... - Remlik Mar 15, 09:51 5
    - No, it's that she gets tinnitus. So, she associates loud noises with future headaches. - David Mar 15, 09:54 4
      - that sucks -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Mar 15, 10:25
      - Seriously, you all should be wearing earplugs more often. Movies are well above safe decibel levels. Any concert, etc. - pmb Mar 15, 10:10 1
        
        I do have a couple pairs of Loop plugs. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Mar 15, 11:47
      - ah. I have constant tinnitus so I'm used to it, but that makes sense. -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 09:58
  - I wear earplugs in movie theaters. Have for years. They are generally too loud. -- nm - pmb Mar 15, 09:45
- It's like Hollywood is... streaming into the void! -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 15, 09:35 1
  - I mean... people get it, right? They understand the name of the podcast? I'm not being obtuse here, yes? YES?! -- nm - Mop🧹 Mar 15, 09:38
- I prefer it for multiple reasons but there are still movies that I find need to be seen on the big screen. -- nm - Krusty Mar 15, 09:34 4
  - Any movie is better on the big screen. In the last couple years I went and saw Stop Making Sense and Smokey and the Bandit. - Spawn Mar 15, 09:36 3
    - I went to Stop Making Sense as well. Definitely worth seeing in a theater. -- nm - Krusty Mar 15, 10:36
    - At home i never just "sit and watch the movie". Being in a theatre i really focus on the film. -- nm - Andie Mar 15, 09:50 1
      - 1,000%. No matter how good it is, if I watch alone I am multi-tasking. Also, other distractions *happen* at home. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 11:25
- I typically do. Less annoying people, cheaper snacks and a pause button. -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 09:26 5
  - "less annoying people" leads me to believe that you yourself are an annoying person? - Spawn Mar 15, 09:29 4
    - I'm sure someone out there finds me annoying. But generally I'm pretty awesome. -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 09:46
    - I think the family got thrown under the bus -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 15, 09:31 2
      - Send them to the theater and watch at home. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 09:34 1
        
        Exactly! -- nm - sycor Mar 15, 09:45
- old! -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 09:24
Aaron Donald announces retirement -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Mar 15, 09:20 2
- Quietly the greatest defensive player of my lifetime. - David Mar 15, 09:41
- As a divisional rival he frustrated me, but he was great -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 15, 09:25
Indeed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 15, 09:20
