  1. Watched Godzilla. It was what you would expect. No real story. Good monster fights. You really have to turn off your brain for this one; the military has no training, , drones can fly and submerge underwater... the Earth seems to be the size of New Jersey. The eco-terrorist motive was the most believable. If they were to remove all humans from the movie, it would have probably improved it. The only reason for people to appear on screen was to do something stupid.
  2. I''ve also been accused of being a generous tipper, and will also leave cash (to reduce taxes) when tipping even on card transactions. One time, I noticed that my grandma would take some of the cash from the table right before we left, whenever she believed I had tipped too much. Then I caught my mother doing it too! Neither of them grew up in this country so I understand the reluctance. Over the years, 've slowly worn the family down to at least allow the occasional tip over 20%
  3. Basically, prosecutors started with the premise that they were going to drop all charges, then looked at his history to figure out what Jussie had already "contributed" (ie, bond money and hanging out with his friends at the PUSH foundation) as an example of "punishment", then spent the rest of the time trying to figure out how to justify it to the public.
  4. The prosecutors were trying to figure out how to drop the charges before the police were finished gathering evidence. They even told them to stop investigating, because prosecutors were already working out a deal to keep Jussie out of jail.
  5. Booksmart was boring. I know it was marketed as a movie "for women, about women", but critics said it was like Superbad, only better. Don't even bother renting this movie. Maybe when it makes it to cable, and you can't find the remote to change the channel.
  6. ...you're right. The order came out to $15+, so the tip was actually $4 and some change. In my head I rounded it down to about $4 so I did the math as 4 out 20. All those years I was tipping her 30%... ?
  7. Also, cash tips are much more appreciated since Servers don't have to declare the full amount. Imagine trying to explain to your grandkids how awful it was not being able to order food by drone delivery.
  8. I will tip if the food is waiting for me when I arrive. Only a few dollars, and only if it's a real restaurant; mostly because they have to preserve the integrity of the food, instead of just sticking it into a styrofoam box. I used to tip 20% at vietnamese cafe I frequented about once a month. I Built a relationship with a particular waitress who practically shoved all the other servers aside to get to me first. I always ordered the same thing so all I had to do was walk in, answer yes to her question of "same order", shop at the asian market next door, then drop off a $20 ($15 order) at the counter, as I was handed my food, on my way back to my car. I never realized how much I relied on this simple routine, until my waitress wasn't at work. Consequently, I had to wait in line to put my order in when I arrived, then forced to wait 10mins after my shopping trip as they had not gotten to my order yet. There was no tip on that one.
  9. I'm wondering how "classic" the world will be... are we talking launch version or right before burning crusade? I remember taking almost a year to hit lvl 60... ... with the endgame just trying to find a good raiding guild; then deciding whether I wanted to quit my real life job to stay on their mandatory raid schedule. My only regret was not getting enough Furbolog rep before BC. Although I did get the saber tiger for my dwarf.
  10. Liberals routinely fight against injustices that don't exist. Look no further than the Wage Gap, and the Pink Tax.
  11. I paid for the matinee, which was in a small theater, so that might have contributed to it. The Genie really looked fake, I don't think his resolution matched the rest of the film; Like they photoshopped a 1080p character into a 720p picture.
  12. I know someone who picked Avengers Endgame as their first marvel movie. She was so confused and bored. I told her not to go, but she insisted because she wanted to know what all the fuss was about..
  13. No one to blame but yourself on that one. That's like going to see a fast and furious movie and complaining about predictable, monotonous, ridiculous car scenes. John Wick is basically a Chuck Norris meme.
  14. Aladdin was merely "Okay". It's almost a scene by scene remake of the original, with a very notable exception, The added #metoo Jasmine scenes. It was so out of place, that many people got confused what was going on. The Jasmine story-line was changed to appease the far-left, which seems pointless since they already boycotted the movie because the leads weren't Arabic enough. (too indian). Definite rental movie. Although, I was told the CGI looked a lot better in 3D than 2D. They were probably the worst I've seen years.
  15. I was on a flight to California, from Texas and watched an older woman get hand-cuffed for having CBD oils in her carry-on. I over-heard her saying that they were legally bought in California, where she lives. I never thought about getting arrested for something legal in one state, but illegal in another....
  16. That's interesting, but I hope that family doesn't start voting liberal in their new state. These blue-state transplants don't seem to understand that they were part of the reason their home state turned into a *****-hole.
  17. Wick is lighter than those movies. Sortof. It's basically a 2 hr long meme: What would happen if you piss of Chuck Norris... Also, the world-building aspect replaces a conventional story as the plot driver. Personally, I like Wick better than other similar franchise. (Jack Reacher, Transporter, etc...)
  18. Actually, the history of Westeros showed that the 7 kingdoms were at constant war until the Targaryans united them all, through conquest, which resulted in a thousand years of peace. They've reverted back to pre-Targaryen where a handful of houses will constantly declare themselves the next "rightful" ruler. Will the houses take turns? Will a Stark ever be allowed to hold the throne again, since they are not part of the 6 kingdoms? Will the Greyjoys force another conflict to retake the North? Also, how do they pass on the mantle of three-eyed raven? Test every boy, or will Bran choose his successor? Will the houses then approve his choice?
  19. The wheel is more solid than ever. With a "king" to choose after the death of the last one, each house will be fighting for that thing forever. Just imagine the amount of people trying to kill the guy on the throne, too. Not to mention the North... they should be building a southern wall, asap. Their "compromise" might create 50 years of peace, before a thousand years of war.
  20. I liked it. Not the way they ended everyone's story arc in season 8, but that they gave us a resolution. There wasn't a quick cut to black, or cliffhanger. It's over. No more to tell. It was very Lord of the Rings. Instead of a Shire, we get the Wall.
  21. I'm hoping for mecha-Godzilla. John Wick 3 was a fun movie. Much better than the 2nd one. Might be better than the 1st. They figured out what people wanted to see in a John Wick movie and made it non-stop for 2hrs. Probably going to see Aladin, but trying to convince my friends to go to the dinner & movie theater/restaurant. I figure that It will probably suck and I would need something to do during the cringe parts (Will Smith.)
  22. We need a metric calendar. 10 days a month. 100 days a year.
  23. For some strange reason, 3rd/4th round picks have been the last players to sign every year. There is some weird contract transition there between early vs late draftees that gives some room for negotiation.
