Going to the theatre <<<<< watching films at home on a decent TV under a blanket with all your favorite reasonably priced snacks, cocktails, and the ability to pause when you need to pee
I generally agree but I saw mad max at home and i suspect i would have enjoyed it better in the theater.
I saw it in the theatre and found it kind of eh
But yeah spectacle can be improved, though I don't think it's really worth so much money and inconvenience
I have to pee 1 to 3 times during any given 3 hour period though, so that influences my stance
mad max was so rad in the theater because of the audience
everyone was holding their breath through the first action sequence and when it faded to black you could hear everyone sigh and a few people going "holy shit"
Movies in theaters is a communal experience.
And one that can really raise a meh to movie to good and an amazing movie to memory making heights.
I think the quality of the movie theater experience really has less to do with the screen and now to do with the sound quality.
Like black swan was incredible in theater, and it was all because of the auditory wow
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
ugh i hate that feeling when you have an eyelash that is getting caught up with another eyelash
QUIT IT YOU EYELASHES GAWL
Who are you to deny their love, monster
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

The IT guy for the library stopped by.
Someone said something and these words came out of his mouth, "What's a GPU?"
Same guy who destroyed two motherboards trying to put a CPU in.
What is it that makes Bayonetta's camera stick to any wall you touch, anyway? Unfucking the camera is hard work.

oh man how have I never seen this video
altho what's weird is that they reinforce how the white and black guy were dressed the same yet I didn't think so? am I wrong? was that just my own ingrained biases kicking in hardcore?

Watching a movie in the theater with an enthusiastic but well behaved crowd is totes better than watching a movie at home
i am enthusiastic but well behaved at home

Having not played a final fantasy game in over 20 years and knowing jack shit about the "lore". It seems that the entire franchise was made by someone who thought Zelda has too much goddamn continuity.

like they were wearing a hat and somewhat baggy clothes
as opposed to like, putting the white dude in a suit and the black guy in a hoodie or something
I think that was the only point, they were trying to be neutral on clothing
The best movie audience experience I think I've ever had was seeing the first Matrix sequel. The audience anticipation was very high. And then my (now) wife yelled "Motherfucker!" at the top of her lungs on the cliffhanger and everyone laughed and laughed. We had friends in the next theater over hear her
The other side o the coin is that a bad crowd can really hurt a movie
And i'm not just talking about cell phone use and crying babies and stuff but also just when an audience just reacts to a movie in a terrible way
Like when I went to see Fargo and Hateful 8 and there was a real frathousey atmosphere both times and the audience was like HA HA HA THAT GUY JUST GOT HORRIFICALLY MURDERED HA HA HA HO HO HO HO HO HO
Yeah, I remember seeing one where they staged a scene in which a wedding dress retailer ended a fitting when she found out that the dress was for a lesbian wedding. It had a better ending, though, insofar as a lot of the customer-bystanders they staged the scene in front of got angry and confronted the retailer about how it was wrong, everyone deserves to feel special on their wedding, etc. etc.

the way my bedroom is set up. It's rather large with a sort of wooden counter top that runs along 2 sides of the room (basement, used to be work bench i'm guessing)
So i'm thinking with some wood and cheap carpeting and paint, i can make a cool cat walk that kinda runs along the room that the cat can follow and play on
i mean it would probably ignore it and never use it ever
but it would still be cool
My friend and her girlfriend did this and their cat loves it.
it honestly seems like a really fun project to do, and just seeing the cat zoom around the outskirts of the room is kinda humorous to me

IIRC, they were not identical, no. It's just pointing out one wasn't in business casual while other was in hoodie.

I don't like the new final fantasy, the party is just goth japanese teenagers who don't look interesting or visually distinct at all
This quote could be 20 years old for all I know.
It really can't?
The only other final fantasy I can think of that this applies to is maybe final fantasy 8, the worst one, and that one had flying gunsword schools
Think of the other ones, 4,6,7,9,10,12. "Not Visually Distinct" is a criticism that Final Fantasy doesn't really suffer from (or idk I hated 13 and didn't play it for more than an hour)

no I agree, and they should have cuz clothes are a big part of the first impression
I guess im saying, when I froze the frame for the side by side comparison
is I mentally was like, white dude looks a bit more prep than black dude. clothes less baggy, jeans instead of sweats
but is that true or am I just a bigot idk

Because I think being bros on a roadtrip in a game would be fun
