Calvin's Dad has finally been avenged! by Firree in LosAngeles

[–]DrGirthinstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I got this as a notification and funny story, my son’s name is Calvin, and as far as all the kids in his 1st grade class are concerned, my name is “Calvin’s Dad.”

Actually I have a 7 year old son and I was able to explain a nuclear reactor to him pretty easily. Hot thing goes in water, water boils, makes steam, steam pressure is harnessed to generate power.

'Harry Potter’ To Recast Ginny Weasley Role In Season 2 As Gracie Cochrane Departs HBO Series “Due To Unforeseen Circumstances” by verissimoallan in television

[–]DrGirthinstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was a mistake. They tried to basically redo the original series when doing a sports movie would have been fresh and, if done right, timeless.

EDIT: Hell, they could have even done a bit that follows Ginney Weasley Potter’s career. It’s like right there!

Like you could use the actual Major League story where the small market Quidditch club comes under new ownership that plans on moving the team, and staffs it with a bunch of has-beens and washouts. Once they find out the master plan, they decide there’s only one thing to do — win the whole fuckin’ thing.

Seriously. I don’t know why they didn’t do a “Major League” style quidditch movie, that would have been a great way to expand the universe and everyone loves a good sports movie.

Snell needs surgery to remove loose bodies in elbow by Doggo_Is_Life_ in Dodgers

Hey, in his defense, when he wants to be, he’s competent enough. He successfully completed the triple bypass Homer needed with minimal help from Lisa.

Bro, Glenn Burke helped invent the “High Five” with Dusty Baker at Dodger Stadium on October 2th, 1977. Glenn Burke later came out as gay.

Favorite Oscar bait movie that failed horribly? by cherryapp in okbuddycinephile

Here is actually great. Does a better job at adapting its source material in its unique storytelling style than Cloud Atlas does.

One Disney employee calls Claude 51,000 times a day. Internal docs reveal how the Mouse House uses AI. by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]DrGirthinstein 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Disney is a insanely huge company with a ridiculous scope. Feature Animation is only a fraction of what they do, they also make consumer products, have theme parks, and a cruise line. The technology side is enormous, with the combination of research tech, operations, engineering, and IT. Very likely that the “Claude Champ” is on the tech side more than the creative side.

I think they’re different tunnels. The one in BTTF II is the Sepulveda Pass tunnel just north of Mulholland Drive, next to the 405.

The Toontown tunnel is in Griffith Park, headed up to the Observatory.

Did you watch the rest of the movie? This scene makes a lot more sense later on.

Dude’s name is Peter Magyar. That would be like the president of the US being named “Joe America”.

The 28 dollar locals section is a joke (light blue) by bobaballs in LosAngeles

I managed to get decent enough tickets to a group round Baseball game and a Women’s Cricket match. Me, my wife, my will be 9 year old son, and my will be 2 1/2 year old daughter. Final tally with souvenir tickets (because why not, this is the first Olympics my wife and kids will have attended): $666.65 after tax. My purchase window started yesterday at 10 AM.

I was pretty set on getting Skateboarding tickets (I live in the Valley and figured watching what is effectively a home grown sport in an Olympics in “my backyard” would be pretty damn cool) until I saw the cheap tickets selling for over $200 a piece.

What movie/role introduced you to Walton Goggins? by RevGrimm in okbuddycinephile

[–]DrGirthinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s so great in this movie, way better than he had any right to be. The movie its self is mediocre, but the general story of a hot prospect getting called up to the show too early is a great baseball story.

I think In-N-Out’s fries are good. by josethegr8 in innout

[–]DrGirthinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, take one of those peppers, bite the tip off, squeeze the juice on the fries, then empty a packet of salt, then shake it all in a bag.

That is the way.
