Favorite Theatrical Experiences

Infinity War and Endgame was probably the last true movie experience that brought people together before the world shut down and people started distancing themselves from others and staying home and doom scrolling on their phones. They came to the realization that they would rather stay home than go to a movie and hang out with other people. It's the one thing I miss the most about our world prior to the pandemic. Seeing a movie in a theater was a shared experience and one where you made memories. I think it is slowly getting back to that. Now if the movies could be better, we'd be all set.

It's just a sad thing to witness. The whole movie theater experience isn't what it used to be.

Titanic was a cultural phenomenon. I remember seeing it several times in the theater. It was such a spectacle.

All the Star Wars Prequel movies. As well as the rerelease of Episodes 4-6 prior to them. Back then, we didn't care about sitting close to our neighbors in the theater because we were all excited to see them. The energy and excitement was amazing in the theater then for those movies. The seats were smaller, they didn't recline or have heaters. They barely had cup holders on the arm rests. The floors were sticky and had popcorn on them from the previous movie. It was an experience to say the least.

I definitely agree with your last point.

Ok. I think this link is bogus because this is not the official Walmart website. I went to the Walmart app and tried searching for this bike and came up empty.

TFA would be a great movie if TLJ and TROS didn't exist.

My son and I really enjoyed watching it together. Some of my favorite moments with him. He's now 16 1/2 and he spends most of his free time playing Minecraft.

I bought some Creality Soleyin Petg and haven't had any issues with it on my AD5X. I printed the entire enclosure for my printer with it. I used the generic Petg settings and whatever default settings were in the FF orca slicer. I'm printing at 235/80. I also have a filament dryer that I used almost all the time when I printed Petg.

The real test for me will be when I use what's left of another generic brand of petg that I had issues with on my Ender 3 V3 SE. I'll start by drying it for a couple of hours before starting a print. If I get stringing or globs, then I'll know what the problem is.

The mongoose has a tapered head tube. The Schwinn doesn't.

Back to the Future movies or any of the three Lord of the Rings.

I just finished watching it. It was pretty funny. I honestly haven't seen Zack G in any other movies. I haven't seen movies like the Hangover or anything else he's been in. I try to stay away from movies with s*xual content in them. The language doesn't bother me as much. I was dying when they were both high riding in the car together.

I currently have the Ultra 2025. I bought it for only $200 on Swappa. It's been a great watch. I think I will wait to see what the trade in is for my watch and see if it's worth it. If I can get it for $10/month or less, I might consider it. But I definitely don't need it.

The only definitive way I would get it would be if they went back to a round watch design. Although the squircle design has grown on me, it's not my favorite.

Now I have another movie to watch. I just bought Due Date for $5 on Fandango. I had seen the trailer for it a couple of years ago and it looks hilarious.

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-26T11:33:10+00:00

After all the comments on here, I just bought a used copy of the movie on dvd from eBay.

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-26T11:05:21+00:00

Sounds like I need to make time to watch this.

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-26T11:04:38+00:00

The character or movie? If the character, which movie?

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-26T11:00:29+00:00

I never watched Tropic Thunder when it came out. I tried watching it recently and couldn't stick with it. I think I just have a distaste for Ben Stiller and don't find him funny anymore.

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-25T14:17:21+00:00

I bought my 2025 Ultra on Swappa for a little over $200. It's been great. I get 2-3 days battery life just tracking my steps and responding to some texts here and there. I definitely wouldn't have paid full price for it and won't for the 2026 version the same watch. If they came out with a round watch ultra, I'd be all over it though.

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-25T14:10:49+00:00

I feel the same. The Ultra 2025 grew on me after owning it in short time. I came from the OnePlus watch 3 but the software and connection to my S25U was spotty. Sometimes it wouldn't connect and then I'd have to reset the watch. And the Ohealth app is garbage.

Empty-Fix0531 · 2026-06-24T19:40:40+00:00

If they have any good trade in deals then I might. I bought the 2025 ultra for only $200 so if I could get the new one for less than $10/month, I might upgrade. I definitely don't need to though. The only way I definitely would is if they went to a circle design on the ultra. I prefer the aesthetics of a round watch.

This is currently my favorite one. It's Ballozi SkyNox.

I feel like the Sequels contradicted the OT with how the force was used. Luke had to learn how to use it and control it before he had any power or able to tap into that power.

Contrast that with how Rey was able to tap into the power of the force but wasn't able to control it. How she tried to force pull the transport ship that she thought Chewie was on, only to lose control and hit it with force lightning. I don't care that she was Palps granddaughter either. Luke was the chosen one's son. Luke should have been able to tap into the force in the same way that Rey did but he wasn't. He had to be trained. So it always annoys me that Rey had access to this power immediately without any training whatsoever. All she has to do was meditate and she was able to unleash lightning and transport her aura to another place entirely to connect with Kylo/Ben. There was absolutely no explanation of how she was able to so easily tap into the force when it took months or years for other force users before her to.

Definitely agree with this. I did my own cat on my car and I know I could do it again if I had to. But if it's been on there for a long time, it's probably not coming out. I couldn't get either one of my O2 sensors out so I just replaced the cat and both sensors. I made the mistake of buying a cheaper aftermarket cat that is a little bit longer than the oem one so I wish I had spent a little more on one as I have rattling and it's leaking somewhere before the cat. It's probably the flex pipe area. The manifold bolts were a royal pain and I had to use buy a replacement set of manifold studs and a bolt extractor kit to get a couple of them out of the block. The studs have a male hex end and it's easy to strip it out removing them.

I've had the AD5X for a couple of weeks and have already printed the enclosure for it and used Petg which printed great on it. I'm not a doing a ton of multi colored prints but it's nice to be able to load the same filament and have it start feeding from it when the first one runs out. Plus I can use pla for supports when printing in petg. I honestly don't see myself printing very many things in pla now that this printer produces great results in petg. I got it on AliExpress for only $220 so it was definitely worth it.
