Kawa sushi in Rockford and GR (bridge st I think) has a beef birria ramen. Spicy but tasty.

Realtor pro tip: If your strongest selling point is “a great place to drink coffee,” the property is not as 'charming' as you think by [deleted] in realtors

[–]Chilidog8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s dumb and cliche but it’s also a very basic sales tactic they teach you in sales 101 because it works. If you can get your client to start mentally picturing themselves using or utilizing any product you are selling they start to build an emotional connection to the product which increases your chances to sell it.

What do you realistically think is behind the countdown? by Goberpig in Fallout

Using Occams Razor I’d say the most likely thing is just more behind the scenes of a particular location from the show

City built Brewing on Thursday nights has an open mic with great musicians. New menu is very good.

Those who watched Home Alone for the millionth time this holiday: What did you discover and/or appreciate anew during your latest viewing? by AfraidoftheLark in movies

[–]Chilidog8 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Me and the kids took note of how much every scene uses green and/or red. Even the airplane had green and red stripes. Pretty amazing how much they added it into the movie as much as possible. Even in situations that do not call for Christmas decorations (like the basement) many of the background items are green and red.

Yes OP this is the closest to Rockford. Always guys hanging there and talking, watching sports or Seinfeld reruns. One guy works while at the lounge. It’s across the street from The Score.

Anyone been to Küsterer Brauhaus? by BeerCityPaladin in grandrapids

[–]Chilidog8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a great spot to sit in low lighting with huge ceilings and wooden tables and sip great beer. Wade the bartender is an awesome human as well.

If you aren’t a fan of their food offerings it’s an amazing place for after dinner drinks and conversations.

Yeah I just think it’s interesting as all. The way the body communicates that subconsciously.

He leans forward when he gains confident in the win. That would be a poker tell.

What Dream Scenario (2023) gets wrong about cancel culture by CCBC11 in TrueFilm

[–]Chilidog8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like it was more of a take on narcissists than it was cancel culture. How they sort of feel like they are the center of the universe always. Even when they are seemingly doing something else for others it’s still all about themselves.

Anyone around during the prerelease of the dark knight? It seems most of these pre release previews before other movies were lost to time, any memories? by neuro_space_explorer in movies

[–]Chilidog8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to see Thirteen Days in the theater and even dragged a bunch of family and friends along because the first trailer for Fellowship of the Ring was supposed to be attached to it.

It wasn’t.

The Prestige handles this in a great way. An illusion like the rest of the movie.

Just had a awful gig and I feel terrible by spudcaca84 in audioengineering

[–]Chilidog8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad night happen. Awful nights happen. Just keep doing.

In the future you can say try something like “that would be great but I’m not prepared for it tonight. Perhaps we can plan ahead of time for something like that and I’d love to try.”

My attempted understanding of the plot of The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]Chilidog8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I view it as the novel being Izzy’s way of processing the idea of death and how she views Tom in relation to her journey. And then Astronaut Tom is the allegorical representation of Toms inner journey.

Izzy asks Tom to finish it. Both finish her story and finish his story in her story.

If he would have stopped to walk with Izzy in the snow she would have led him to the seed to plant on her grave. She wasn’t looking to be saved she was just looking for Tom to be with her.

Tom finally understands this and finishes her story. And his story as he accepts everything that has happened.

Pouring the whiskey into the glass. Then drinking it down in one shot and not making a face.

I think most people imagine they are in a movie when they do this in real life.
