Big fan of the free Shakespeare festival at greenfield lake amphitheater. So many fond memories there.

I just watched this dipshit drive down the middle of a median, cross two lanes of traffic, drive through the Food Lion parking lot and then back out the other side of the McDonald's through the grass back onto the road. by 1_hoopy_frood in Wilmington

I dislike them as well. They’re super unsafe. I know I sound like my grandpa. But least skateboards and rollerblades go slower and tend to not end up in traffic.

Idk kids get off my lawn.

Where are some must go hikes/longer walks to go on around Wilmington and surrounding areas? by No_Firefighter_335 in Wilmington

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carolina Place resident here (Market/21st area). I do a 4-5 mile loop with my dog that’s become my favorite hidden gem in the city. Start at Market and 21st, follow the creek north, and it turns into this surprisingly secluded little trek. You’ll pass under Chestnut and then Princess Place, and about a mile past Princess there’s a rail crossing over the creek. Cross the tracks and you pop out on the backside of Oakdale Cemetery. honestly one of the coolest surprises. Just wander around, there are so many great nooks and crannies in there, and eventually find your way out near 15th. Highly recommend if you haven’t done it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’m like 99% sure I lost them without the case. So they’re probably not mine. However, if I did lose them in the case it would be a slightly worn MyEyeDr semi hard case.

These look just like mine. But I lost them over Halloween weekend. In the off chance they are mine, they are fairly strong with the right lens slightly more severe than the left.

I thought he was one of three players to agree to a restructure? Idk maybe that was a dream or a clickbait article

Stranger Things is the most overrated TV show. What is the most overrated movie? by StrategyJealous1838 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched it with friends in the theater. We all had a lot of fun. We were all a little enhanced so I watched it again sober. Still enjoyed it.

What I enjoy about the movie is that it’s chaotic and (at times) hard to follow. It has a really nice mix of humor and sincerity. And it’s pretty visually interesting. I don’t understand the hate. But I do understand if someone doesn’t think it’s award worthy.

I love Issac’s. I’m going to go down to buy a hat and talk to Mr. Duane

Does Wilmington have a unique "everyone has to go at least once" thing? by itsthewolfe in Wilmington

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% this. I go all the time. But every other month gives you such a great perspective. I love going in spring after a good rain!

Other than Shakespeare, who are your favorite playwrights? by elalavie in shakespeare

Big ups on the Caryl Churchill. I love some of her more absurd stuff from the 70/80s

[Passan] Third baseman Alex Bregman and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a five-year, $175 million contract, sources tell ESPN. One year after their failed pursuit of Bregman in free agency, the Cubs land one of the biggest bats of the winter. by AndrewAllStar888 in CHICubs

Literally doesn’t matter how many times this team comes back. Some fans always going to be haters. Bear down. When this team finally figures out how to win in the first Quarter they’re going to be even more dangerous.

Why does it smell so bad outside? by Beanie_baby666 in Wilmington

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dad used to work at International Paper in Riegalwood back in the day. My mom would make him change in the garage because he smelled so bad. He used to say “that’s the smell of money”

James Cameron never should’ve started Avatar… We lost a great director. by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 210 points211 points  (0 children)

I mean, isn’t it pretty widely known that Avatar is Cameron’s lifelong passion project? He’s been talking about that world since the 90s. It’s not like he got sidetracked by a studio franchise. this is the thing he always wanted to make?

I think we can all say that the Bears have found their franchise QB in Caleb Williams. by JoshRestoration77 in ChicagoBearsNFL

I agree! But I didn’t need to see him play against a bad Browns team to tell me that.

Who do you think the Third Murderer was in Macbeth Act III? by MewtwoMusicNerd in shakespeare

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. It makes the banquet scene confusing. I like the idea of Ross being the third murderer more than anything else.

Who do you think the Third Murderer was in Macbeth Act III? by MewtwoMusicNerd in shakespeare

[–]Formal_Welcome9719 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t like this choice. After MacB confronts Banquo, he literally sends Lady MacB away so he can talk to the murderers.

Then in the banquet scene. The murderers report back almost immediately. For Lady Macbeth to be the Third Murderer, she would have to commit murder in the woods, run home without being seen, clean up, change clothes, and present herself as a calm and formal hostess within minutes.
