This video is truly  https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/no-sense-of-urgency-man-who-captured-crack-on-roller-coaster-says/ quote:popular roller coaster in North Carolina was closed after a video went viral showing a huge crack in one of the ride’s support beams. quote:He said it took the fourth person he encountered after he got into guest services to do anything about the situation.

The set designers apparently bought the entire world stock of certain paint pigments because that was the exact specified fluorescent Pantone pink or whatever and that’s not a very commonly used color for construction.

And you sure as h*ck release it in july against light-hearted, fun films that aren't going to require you to go to the theatre with your 'christopher nolan film checklist and association map so you can piece together what you watched after you leave the theatre' kit. this is film industry 101

I’m going to a mix of Nolan and summer light movies in theaters, but I really like going to the theater. And if you’re wuick, you can catch all kinda of foreign films for the 1 week or sometimes 1 entire showing they’re available. Probably hit the theater 2-3 times per month, at least.

Yeah I really like it in ideal conditions. Even without worrying about getting sick it was always a crapshoot whether you got a good audience, good equipment, good seating, etc. I remember checking out a matinee of the Interstellar IMAX and having to sit in the very front row, which shouldn't even be an option. Before we moved out of the Denver area we really liked going to the theater restaurants a few times a year, but shortly before we left the one we went to (Movie Tavern) got bought out and jacked the prices way up. I was just thinking in the shower about how all these conservative entertainment groups flipped their poo poo at once about moving to streaming media. Directors complained it ruined their vision, even though they probably haven't had to watch a movie sitting with the general public in decades. Studios were put in a position where they had to negotiate with providers that weren't as desperate as movie chains. Big-ticket actors had contracts that wouldn't pay out as much if their movies went to streaming. Nolan is definitely one to talk. He can't edit his movies for poo poo and the best experience is probably some hacker cut that boosts the vocals.

I wear a mask every time and 99% of movie going now I reserve select seats. If someone tries to take the one(s) I paid for, I have them move. I also am not big on movies as evening activity (evening is prime outdoor walking/running time), so I like to hit the first showing of the day of that’s an option. 10 AM old folks club.

Universal - "Uh Mr. Nolan, we've been getting kinda concerned about some of the bills you're been submitting..." Nolan - "I told you, how do you expect me to film an atomic bomb test without a full scale enrichment cascade? Calutrons don't grow on trees you know!"

I get why but I still can’t get over how the Oppenheimer trailer is cut like it’s a sequel to his Batman trilogy. Maybe its just a trick and he turns into Dr. Manhattan at the 30 minute mark.

Basticle posted:This video is truly Fun fact about this one: Rollercoaster track is slightly springy and flexes to dissipate vibrations. What you're seeing here is that the lower part of the support is out of position from where it should be when the train passes by. The most likely explanation here is that the concrete footer for the angled support was affected by some ground movement so now it ended up too short to reach the outermost position that the train could be. This isn't that unusual of a problem since roller coaster foundations consist of large amounts of long and thin footers, which are susceptible to comparably small shifts in the soil. Any coaster built by a reputable manufacturer is built with this in mind and will have enough redundant supports for the track to bridge the gap if 1-2 of them fail like this. The most dangerous situation that anybody was in in this story is the attendant walking around a parking lot full of distracted drivers fumbling with their tickets, satnav, etc, or dealing with hyperactive children in the back of their car all day. Continuing to operate the ride in this situation will make the park's bean counters very unhappy though, as wear & tear on the track increases exponentially with longer spans and getting a retrack done is orders of magnitude more expensive than casting a new footer and ordering a replacement support beam. With changes in manufacturing costs, Bolliger & Mabillard's most recent full retracks(The Incredible Hulk at Universal Orlando and Nemesis at Alton Towers) ended up being more expensive than the original ride. What makes this incident notable is that it happened in a very visible spot on a high profile ride, I know of at least three rides local to me that had similar issues in the time that I've been keeping track and none of those made it beyond the park's ride closure announcements page and coaster nerd chatter.

My local film festival / non-profit theater chain is selling BarbenHeimer tshirts: https://siffshop.net/collections/siff/products/unisex-t-shirt The showings are technically at two different theaters, so a proper double-feature isn't possible, though I'd probably not mind the walk after sitting through 3 hours of Oppenheimer.
