Entertainment is actually extremely important to keep you mentally healthy so you can do what you're told and go to your job.

If movie star salaries and everyone else salaries were slightly closer though, my job would be a lot less soul crushing. If I have to lose The Greatest Showman or Solo or Jurassic World 2 for that, well...

The idea that actors/singers/athletes are overpaid is just an idea put out to distract you from the real problem, which is people who make their money by owning a bunch of stuff and producing nothing. At least actors work for a living.

Do people who make a lot of money but aren't "rich people" count as bougie? I want to know if it's okay to be happy if bad things happen to football players.

There are two ways to earn money. Either you produce a thing that people want and they give you money for it, which is fine, or you own stuff and you charge people to use it, which is not. The idea of "rich people" and "poor people" is basically meaningless. Anyone who has more than you is rich, anyone who has less is poor. Really there are just people who work for a living and people who exploit those who work for a living.

Tiggum is technically correct but a multimillionaire actor or sports player or a six-figure doctor still lives in a different world than some dude who runs a lawn care business out of a pickup. Even though the last guy is the only bourgeoisie among them. Realistically cutting their insane salaries would just mean more money to the executives who own studios and teams but also, they should make less money.

I genuinely enjoyed DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball on the original Xbox. I thought the volley ball was fun and also liked the lite date sim aspect with the other girls buying them gifts and the like. Do the newer versions have basically the same volley ball game mode? If so, I need to give them a try. I remember at the time thinking that future games should have added other sports to the mix and become some sort of big sport mini game compilation, instead it looks like they just went for more stare at the girls games.

bacon is a terrible pizza topping. It adds little to the flavor and is basically just tough little bits of gristle. The only way it would be possibly good is if you cooked strips and cut them up into maybe 3-4 pieces and maybe they'd still have a good texture, but every pizza place just does the bacon bits-esque approach.

Rainbow Knight posted:movie stars are just high budget LARPers and should in no way be as celebrated as they are As a cinephile, I completely agree with this. And as a cinephile, my unpopular opinion is that the MCU/shared universes suck rear end, especially given the affect it's had on Hollywood: namely how it's given producers and studio executives WAY too much creative control - even more than they had before - over directors and scripts. I also don't mind movie theaters going away entirely in favor of streaming services (we got 4k HDR TVs now ffs). Lately there has always been some loud, obnoxious rear end in a top hat in the theater during my last few viewings. I can't tell you how infuriating it is when some dirty fat gently caress a few seats away from you in a packed theater is constantly shaking the ice in his soda because somehow his white trash mind believes it makes the drink taste better, or the punk rear end teenagers talking loudly even after you ask them to knock it off politely. Maybe everyone just likes to needlessly double down on being an rear end in a top hat during the Trump era or something, I dunno.

I only go to the movies like 3 times a year so it wouldn't be that painful if a ticket was like $25 if it meant it would keep the loud teens out of the theater. Also if anyone uses their phone while the movie is playing the ushers should be allowed to confiscate it and destroy it on the spot.

Alamo Draft House rules. The new Harkins theaters are great too. ADH will kick you out no questions asked for loving around on your phone or being annoying and they have comfy seats and reasonably priced beer and food (that doesn't suck) I've never had a bad experience there. I'd rather drop $35 on seeing a movie and have a good evening out, than pay $15 for a shittier experience than I'd have watching it at home on my big TV. veni veni veni has a new favorite as of 00:50 on Mar 3, 2019 |

Eating full meals and drinking in a theater is the most asinine thing. Just sneak a flask of vodka in and fill up your soda. It's way less loving annoying than a room full of people spilling and whispering to each other about their burgers. Maybe I just had a bad experience though.

Every place I've been to does the meal before even the previews start. It is dumb to eat there because you will be paying like 150% of the prices at applebees for at best on par food, but you don't have to - just pay the extra few bucks a ticket and show up when you'd normally show up so you get the comfortable seats and a bar outside. Yeah they will be snobs about it and always comment that you missed the meal service but who cares, either make the meals mandatory or shut up about it.

Alamo Draft House has way better food than applebees but I like that it's your only point of reference lol. And it's not even expensive it's like $13 for a meal. Eating an actual meal and drinking a beer while watching a movie actually rules dweeb.

never been to that. But at the one where I live(d) it was like 13 for an appetizer like a plate of chicken fingers, entrees started at 18 which is way too much for a drat movie theater. Plus drinks, then 8+ bucks for the "fancy" bowl of popcorn after.

I mean really if you think about the prices of concessions at a crappy movie theater that's still really not a bad deal. There it's like $8 for non fancy popcorn and $7 for a pepsi.

There it's like $8 for non fancy popcorn and $7 for a pepsi. It's the same popcorn, they just put it in a porcelain or whatever bowl instead of a cardboard bucket and you get less of it. It's still pointless to get the pre-movie dinner there though. We'd always just go to one of the better restaurants that are always right across the street, then show up half way through the previews while the attendants glare at us for not paying for their overpriced microwaved from frozen food. Pay for the seats and the easily accessible alcohol, not the lovely food.

Chill for a year or two or even ten if you have a god-tier job with half a brain and then get an apartment in your city of choice that you can afford for 80 years. Or buy a mansion in your rural place of choice and laugh at the property taxes from your mountain stronghold. I sure wish I could ever make six figures. I’d get a poo poo apartment with another room.

I used to be squarely in the "never ever talk or make noise during a movie" camp, but after I actually went to a movie with a super rowdy crown I did a total 180. People hooting and clapping are the best and add a ton to the experience

Conversely, partway through Expendables 2, the entire audience I was in realized collectively that we're all here for the same thing and started losing our loving poo poo every time something blew up  I dont dare rewatch the movie in case it actually was bad and it was just the room's energy that made it amazing

If at any point someone actively tries to "turn it into a mst3k style riff-fest" it's always bad. Yes, even that one time where you think it wasn't bad. the only acceptable line to use is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZmCp7NocMA
