Isn’t Gunn’s DC universe going the scifi/fantasy way? That won’t work because Reeves’ batman is grounded in reality.

Did you just see this on youtube? I was mindlessly scrolling while not logged in or anything and I saw a thumbnail of a video of that exact scenario.

Baked bbq beans straight from the can.

A $35 New Balance winter jacket at Marshalls. We have mild winters so an actual winter jacket is useful for like 2-3 days a year, so I don’t really need to invest in an expensive one. I do need it when traveling, and it’s pretty good quality.

The two points they mentioned in the article were my exact thoughts on why the answer is “No” at least for now. IMAX tickets are more expensive, and you don’t even get to experience true IMAX if there isn’t one close to you. The other thing is I’m not willing to spend more on a movie where the IMAX format won’t really do much to enhance it.

Limited Accessibility: IMAX is a premium product, and its ticket prices may not appeal to budget-conscious consumers.

Dependence on High-Quality Content: The IMAX format thrives on visually stunning and narratively compelling films, which require collaboration with filmmakers committed to the theatrical experience.

Pretty good. We had a smaller spread than usual because we’re trying to watch what we eat now, so just a simple christmas ham and sushi bake that we made ourselves. Then pecan pie for dessert. We also eat earlier in the evening now instead of waiting for midnight (our own tradition).

Isn’t he too close to the tv?

Pretty good. Things are getting quiet at work because of the upcoming holiday break, so I’m looking forward to a peaceful 2 weeks.

One of those trailers where they show almost everything.

Will it be free shipping since it’s over $35? And will they honor 30-day returns?

I had the same sentiment about the implications of

in the movie, but I also understand they were already running at almost 3 hours. Maybe an extra montage to show time passing by? Or maybe that’s too cliche. Either way, it’s still the best film of 2024 for me.

Attending a conference today and tomorrow so it’s a nice break from work. Things are also starting to quiet down at work due to the upcoming winter break.

I’m not setting any expectations for this. It’s one of those things where a show got so popular and viral that they forced them to shit out a new one even though the first one is best as a one-time story.

Just the premise itself is illogical, with the main character going back into the game as a player to destroy it from the inside? Dude could’ve probably done more trying to dismantle it from the outside with his money. He knows the old guy in real life now, so with enough money he can probably hire people to investigate and try to figure out where and how the operation is running. That and he was literally on his way to reunite with his daughter then suddenly decides he cares more about fighting back by choosing the worst way? If they wanted a new season, they should’ve cast a new character for the games, and maybe have the original guy work from the outside or team up with the cop.

He should re-brand as a “consultant” and charge double that.

Similar to my case. My manager is based in Europe, and he basically said that to him, I’m a remote employee whether I wfh or go to the office, so it doesn’t matter. And even for other team members in the same location as him, he doesn’t force them to come in.

Our director (my boss’ boss) moved out of the US so it doesn’t make sense for him to ask us to come in when he himself is remote. And he also told us that he doesn’t care where we work from.

We’re lucky our bosses aren’t old heads with outdated work principles. Barring any explicit orders from the very top, I expect to keep the status quo. And even then, I’m sure at least up to our VP will defy those orders.

I was too, until I found out they completely removed the driver instrument cluster, so even the speedometer is on the infotainment screen. I’m all for large screens, but the speedo and other necessary gauges should still be in front of the driver or on a HUD.
