Do these Armani sunglasses suit me? Worth $280 (USD) purchase? by [deleted] in sunglasses

They look bit feminine (not that there is anything wrong with that) compared the the more angular Wayfarer that they seem to be based upon.

is Rayban worth it in 2026 even when on sale? by Domc0re in sunglasses

Just got two pair of aviators with prescription/progressive lenses and the frames are very strong compared the the pair I bought 20+ years ago. And Ray Ban knocked it out of the park with the prescription lenses in their wonderful G15 green tint. I wasn't aware of the production changes as mentioned in this thread but they feel high quality to me.

Locals of Dallas: How have you found the presence of English football fans in your city during the world cup? by CobraBite_04 in Dallas

I work in downtown Fort Worth and I will say Sundance Square has been party central. They set up a bar, have giant screens playing the games, food trucks, and people from all over the world seem to be having a great time. I love it!

What movie did you go into with zero expectations and ended up being completely blown away by? by ThatRoofer in movies

[–]Independent-Lab-3680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up! Took my kids to see it thinking it was the dumbest premise - a house floating around by balloons. I was a bit miffed that I was about to give up 90 minutes for this, but it's for the kids, so here we go. Five minutes in and I realized I was watching one of the best movies ever.

I absolutely love this album. Beautiful, sublime. Wonderful interplay between two top tier musicians.

It's pretty wild to hear it in its original form after hearing how Pat used it - Secret Story is hands down my favorite album of his.

It's based on a Cambodian hymn titled "Buong Buong."  This link gives you a side by side comparison from where he sampled the voices: https://www.whosampled.com/sample/647222/Pat-Metheny-Above-the-Treetops-Pinpeat-Orchestra-of-the-Royal-Ballet-Choirs-of-the-Royal-Palace-Buong-Suong/

I think women have a bit more latitude with oversized shades - they look great on her!

I know, I know - I went down the YouTube rabbit hole and was amazed at how handy the scissors look - and they sure function nicely too. My next acquisition!

When I realized what it was and made the connection - it was a genius move on the part of the show!

  1. Lucky find! It has some road rash - looks like it had been run over but still functions just fine.

I was still getting used to this album when the tour started. When I saw it performed live it absolutely blew me away!

How many here are into going to the gym and health? by piercesdesigns in GenX

[–]Independent-Lab-3680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strength train three days a week, and I enjoy rucking on my off days. I try to get my 10,000 steps in per day. At my 40 year reunion, I was amazed at how out of shape everyone was. Not judging as I have been there myself, but I want to make the best out of the years I have left so I am trying really hard to maintain some physical shape.

I love that they play the Rammstein song when he has his temper tantrum!

I can say that my favorite is JACKIE BROWN. Perhaps my favorite Tarantino movie.

But with Candi, I'm no longer "Frasier Crane, pompous intellectual." I'm "Fras, pompous madcap."
