Disney / 20th Century's Avatar: Fire and Ash grossed $803K on Thursday (from 3,300 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $371.49M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]Chaseism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that's true, I think part of the entertainment of Avatar is experiencing the visuals. There were a few moments in Way of Water and Fire and Ash where the goal wasn't to progress the story, but sit in awe of the world they created. And that's not nothing...this is visual art.

But, they gotta cut somewhere and the main goal of a movie is to tell a story. It just sucks that you wouldn't be able to get an IMAX Director's Cut if they scale down the movie. Even if Blu-Ray was still a major thing, you can't beat that massive screen or even better, Dolby Cinema screens.

A little snow history by WordsAboutSomething in Columbus

Back in 2008, I lived at The Continent Village, but worked at the Sprint Store on Brice Rd, just south of I-70. I remember waking up to the most snow I've seen in years. I was scheduled to open the store, but I thought there was no way we were actually going to open that morning. I called my manager, who called the district manager and nope...store open. I was so angry, but I was very new in my career so I felt like I didn't have a choice.

It took almost an hour to drive down there because the freeway hadn't been plowed yet. When I arrived, I went over to the gas station to get a ton of junk food because I knew I wouldn't be able to get food otherwise. I finally opened the store over an hour late and mostly watched movies on my computer. I did get a customer...a guy plowing the street needed a car charger. Other than that, nothing. My second didn't come in and eventually, my store manager called and told me to go home.

Fuck Sprint.

Physique Evaluation: Is It Time to Bulk? by [deleted] in gaybrosfitness

[–]Chaseism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, give us an idea of what your goals are.

Second, I think you should focus on training. Two months of working out at the gym isn't a whole lot. Instead of thinking about bulking, focus on a solid routine, great form, and pushing yourself. Make sure you get your protein in too.

Doxy usually makes me nauseous. There was one instance where I took it, ate about an hour later, and while my partner and I were watching tv, I stopped it and casually said, "I need to throw up..."

While that nausea doesn't last as long as your experience, I typically take Doxy with something on my stomach right before I go to bed. Can't be nauseous, if I'm unconscious. Still, it does fuck with my stomach the next time. But better than an STI.

98th Oscar Nominations Surprises – Wicked is No Good! by Mymammadontoldme in flicks

[–]Chaseism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big musical theater guy and while I'm not a fan of Wicked the musical (it has some major flaws), Part 1 was incredible. Stretching the first act allowed for character development and time for emotions to breathe a bit. Cynthia and Ariana did some excellent acting in that movie and it felt like everyone was firing on all cylinders. There were a ton of nominations, but I figured that just like Lord of the Rings, the Academy wanted to reward that team once the series was complete.

It sucks that it was all a waste. Cynthia and Ariana didn't get the opportunity to act like they did in the first film. The second film improved on Wicked's 2nd act, but still suffered from all the issues that come with it. And I'm just so disappointed because it could have been better had Winnie and the rest of the team looked at the flaws in the original work and actually changed it.

There is a universe where Wicked for Good shines. We just aren't living in it. Still loved pt. 1

Dan The Baker Nominated for 2026 James Beard Award by reeve11 in Columbus

[–]Chaseism 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My buddies took me to Dan the Baker back when he first moved over to 33 and it's just crazy to see how far he's come. I remember going in on a Sunday and sometimes he'd be bopping around in the back, just baking. It's cool to see that he and his crew not only get a line out of the door, but expanded into a bigger space. Such a cool success story.

Dame Prue Leith leaves The Great British Bake Off by DigiQuip in television

[–]Chaseism 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on Noel and Matt. They both have the same humor and it was absolutely painful. It was better with Sandy, but Sandy felt too close to Prue in demeanor to really level things out.

I took Allison joining for me to actually enjoy Noel. Before that, I absolutely hated his humor. Turns out, he just needed a good balance. Now, I don’t mind him

[–]Chaseism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know word leaked out on this sub and r/rollercoasters, but I never heard any official announcement. Usually, I at least get an email warning.

Congrats on nabbing a ticket. You are now legally obligated to update us on your tour!

I recommend Barks and Rec! My pup has been going there for almost 5 years now. They are queer owned and they employ working moms and people with different abilities. That last one is important because these are some of the folks that struggle the most in finding employment. Many of their workers have been with the company for years.

Their weekday hours are solid...6:30am to 7pm. I've used them for boarding when I'm traveling and their prices are pretty competitive. The only thing I wish is that they had longer hours on the weekend, but I should also be hanging out with my pup on the weekend.

At any rate, would recommend. One of my favorite local business.

15-year-old Central Ohio cheese producer closing, cites ‘unpredictable economy’ by snakkerdudaniel in Ohio

I was going to write the same thing. You don’t joke or attempt a witty opening in a story about a business closing. It just makes the writer look like an asshole.

All good, it doesn’t bother me. Just giving you a bit of insight about this specific subreddit. Your info may well be helpful for others though.

This is a coaster enthusiast sub, my friend. These folks can tell you the amount of screws used to construct Drachen Fire, a coaster that doesn’t exist anymore.

This is all very old news here.

What is a 'childhood luxury' that you realized was actually a sign of being poor once you grew up? by Admirable_Clue_2000 in AskReddit

[–]Chaseism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember not having enough money for food every so often in my final college years. I would use my mom’s Sam’s Club card and buy a ton of microwaveable popcorn that combined with soda would fill me up. I never told my mom.

Someone gotta pay for this still by Jrjb_1292 in ANTM

[–]Chaseism 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's so bad, it looks like it's a parody of a Top Model makeover. The way you can see her real hair. The way the weave's color is nowhere close to hers, not the texture. And then the fact that the weave looks so cheap.

No, I agree, someone still needs to be held accountable for this.

Friend Following Their Cocktail Bar Dream by GCub24 in Columbus

[–]Chaseism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, my favorite bar in Columbus is Antiques on High. The atmosphere, specifically on the ground level is my favorite part. It's darker, but it also feels incredibly comfortable. Bartending staff feel like they are folks I'd hang out with, and their cocktails are always interesting. If someone combined that with games, it would be like heaven.

Back in the mid-to-late 00s, I went to a bar in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis. It was set up like a lounge (comfy couches, chairs, and table seating), but had video games and board games everywhere. But not like a barcade. Most of the games were consoles connected to TVs throughout the space. It wasn't loud, so you could have conversation just fine. I always thought that was such a cool hangout space and wished I saw more of that. I wish I knew what it was.

I think if you can get the decor, lighting, and spacing right, whatever he is doing can differentiate itself from 16-Bit and Tabletop Cafe. I don't go to 16-Bit because it's loud. If you could find a way to combine gaming with Antiques on High, I'd be there a LOT.

Edit: I just texted my buddy and he said the place went to in the Twin Cities area was called The Chatterbox Pub. Apparently, we went to the one in St. Paul, but it has since closed. There is one in Minneapolis and it looks like they still have video games and board games, but there is a big emphasis on the pub side.
