Have you been to the Logan Theater on Milwaukee since they renovated it? It's really quite nice.
That would kill going to theaters for me. I can't stand missing part of the movie to get up and go.
It sucks. I usually try to 'prep' by switching from drinking to sipping a couple of hours in advance, and try to time it so that I can go right before the previews start in order to only need to get up once more.ImLawBoy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 4:52 pm

The AMC theatres here have so many price points, there's really no one "matinee" time anymore. Before 10:30am, it might be around $5.60 (with tax) - that seems to be the cheapest option. An hour later, it's like $7.60. For the rest of the day, it's all over the place, from $10 to $19.

Can't do it. I just hate missing any of a movie or TV show. If we're watching something on the couch and my wife makes a comment, I'll often rewind just the couple of seconds that it took me to process and respond, just in case I missed something. If I fast forward through the commercials on a show and cut into a show during the scene setting shot (i.e., nothing has happened - maybe the exterior of the building their in with some music), I back it up so I catch the fade in. It would cause my head to explode if I left for a couple of minutes to pee, even if some app told me that there was nothing important happening then.tjg_marantz wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:25 pmRunpee is your friend.ImLawBoy wrote:I almost got a beer at the last movie I saw (Star Wars), because I saw it at a cool theater with a good bar and beer selection, but I didn't want to have to pee in the middle of the movie.

Wrong thread. That being said...the white was salt. Not sure they said what the red was.Daehawk wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:43 pm I tried to time my breaks during less action. First was at the casino so I have no idea what happened to the original flower man they needed. Second was at the old base. When i got back they were cutting across the desert on old speeders. What was that red crystal on that planet? Looked way cool.
I also break out in hives if I hear that someone skipped over the "boring" parts of a book.LordMortis wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:49 pmWhat did you with ILB?

Why not? It's reasonable to believe that dinosaurs spanned the gamut of animal intelligence. Given tens of thousands of species over tens of millions of years, some of them probably figured out clever ways to use rocks and sticks...if they hadn't gone extinct, maybe some would have evolved primate-level sentience.Holman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 10:19 pm Lately I've seen a couple of articles about how crows (generally regarded as the most intelligent birds) can use simple tools to fish for bugs.
Since birds are dinosaurs, isn't it at least possible that (without the meteor catastrophe) large dinosaurs might eventually have become tool users?
My recollection is that one rebel touched his finger to a red footprint, tasted what stuck to his finger and stated 'salt'. Assuming my memory of a single viewing is not too off, that would suggest that the red is the salt. Logic + science would dictate that the white is an oxidized form of the salt. Or maybe simply a dust layer on top of the salt.
A letter allegedly written by one of the escapees recently came to light. CBS San Francisco exclusively obtained it from a source.
"My name is John Anglin. I escape from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I'm 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes we all made it that night but barely!"
The FBI says this is the most recent piece of evidence that forced the agency to reopen the iconic cold case. The letter was sent to the San Francisco Police Department's Richmond station in 2013.
...
According to the letter, Frank died in 2008 and John's brother died three years later. The writer makes a deal – "If you announce on TV that I will be promised to first go to jail for no more than a year and get medical attention, I will write back to let you know exactly where I am. This is no joke…"
The U.S. Marshals, which is the sole agency investigating the case today, says the FBI lab examined the letter for fingerprints and DNA, and the handwriting.
The FBI's results were inconclusive.
...
As for the U.S. Marshals, they tell CBS San Francisco they consider this lead closed with no merit.

That is awful on several levels. Ugh.According to a KTVU television report posted Thursday night, a Novato resident was the target of a fake emergency phone call to Novato first-responders on Jan. 13. The call, which was a hoax, resulted in police swarming Brian Stauffer’s Pacheco Valle neighborhood.
Stauffer, an illustrator, creates art for national magazines and newspapers that is often political in nature. He believes recently published work critical of President Trump may have led to the call, a practice known as “swatting.”
The caller described a shooting after reporting an argument between and mother and father.
IMHO, it should be akin to attempted murder. Maybe second degree or something.Zarathud wrote:People that abuse the police like that to intentionally put others in danger are terrible. Deplorable by any standard.
The only nouns I recognize in this post are break, while, contract, surprise, and end. I think MMA is Ecstasy and WWE has something to do with wildlife, so it's probably really interesting.

Just your fridge making its nightly delivery of milk and eggs to various hell dimensions. Nothing to see here.
