  • I haven’t experienced any of that in a very long time. The movie going experience has shifted significantly over the past decade. Again, it’s not for everyone and some don’t find the entertainment worth the cost, which is fine. I’m just trying to point out that the stereotypical they’re experience isn’t what it used to be. Some people go and spend hundreds at casinos for fun, I’ll occasionally drop a couple of tenners to watch a good movie it the format it was designed to be viewed in. That’s maybe once or twice a year.


  • The theaters certainly are not for everyone, but I haven’t experienced your description of a theater in over 5 years. Everywhere I’ve been not has leather recliners and have been generally cleaner. It’s not cheap, but concessions aren’t a requirement and no home theater offers the same viewing between screen and sound like a theater. I think my local place is $15 for the ultra wide, heated leather, Atmos audio screenings. Not something to do all of the time, but the occasional late night watch of an adult rated film is a nice treat sometimes.









  • As a kid I’d use that against my parents when I had to get off my SNES. They’d be all like, “quit playing games, you’ll rot your brain”, and if be like, “How is this any different than watching TV?”. It never worked but today I feel a little vindicated.

    Sort of ironically, my first real world full time job, when I got hired, the owner had asked if I played video games, and he was then later telling a bunch of people that he thought I’d be smart and good with computers, drawing a correlation to gaming. Idk if his thought process was correct, but I am decently bright and I am pretty good with computers, so that’s something.







  • I had messaged my doctor’s office sometime in Aug last year, they said to call and schedule an apt with my doc. So I went to my physical some months later, December maybe, and they brought it up. I confirmed, we talked, and they said they would refer me to a local place that does screenings, but it would probably be a few months wait. A few months later I go in to my doctor for a shoulder injury, and followed up about having never received contact from that other place. They looked into it and the referral never got made and sent. Not ideal, but I’ve been at it for 30+ years so what’s another couple of months. It has also now been more than a few months and I still don’t have a call back.

    I enjoy my doctor and the office, but I think it’s time to find a new doctor’s office.
