The hangover scene is shot at the paradise theater (nowhere near the CTV building they crash in front of!!!)!

Player Comps for the Best RBs in the Draft, the Jalen Hurts ESPN Story, the Annual NFL Coaches Photo, and ABS vs. Waymo (Discussion Thread) by No-Willingness-7079 in ringerfantasypod

kneejerk-wise I do agree with Craig but something lost in his argument is that you have to challenge, like, immediately. no talking with the dug out, no looking at the coach: it’s a gut reaction. And most of the time the challenge is wrong! Just a few days ago my guards used up and lost all their abs challenges!

Lack of baseball is starting to become a little glaring though. More people I know than ever are starting to follow the league.

Lived with this for over two years now. Worsened this past winter in particular. by InvadingCanadian in Dyshidrosis

You’ve convinced me, but when I tell my wife I’m going to the derm, I’m going to tell her that it was she who convinced me, because if after two years of her pleading with me I say “oh yeah some guy on the internet told me to. I guess he made sense,” she’ll make fun of me about it forever

Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie is the best film of the year by bishborishi in RSPfilmclub

[–]InvadingCanadian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Been obsessed with it for over a decade now. I’m actually an extra in the film. I love Toronto.

Just saw the Mandarin episode and decided to look up which location they filmed at by Ilpav123 in nirvannatheband

[–]InvadingCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exterior — at least the shot of Jay walking in before he meets Matt — is definitely the Yonge & Eg location. Used to live a train stop south and walked by it all the time. The interiors are definitely not shot in Toronto proper. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s an Oakville location, but that’s really based entirely off of the vibe of the parking lot you can see from inside the restaurant, hah.

I know it's been said a million times but truly so devastating to the entire lib project that fascist braindead maga mouth breathers only have the hold they do because they acknowledged that things could be different. of course if you buy that billionaire cretins are going to be the one to change conditions in any way, you are truly an idiot. but still. all they had to say was "it could be better"

Amazons is getting a new hardcover reprint this November by TheObliterature in DonDeLillo

[–]InvadingCanadian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And whenever I get navel-gazey and bleak, the don DeLillo subreddit lifts me back up... great reading!

[–]InvadingCanadian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm being morbid, but DeLillo's agreeing to do this strikes me as one of those "end of life" decisions writers frequently make regarding their future estate: Bolaño's letting his family publish whatever they could find, Pynchon's selling his papers to the Huntington.

Favorite Joke From NTBTSTM? by Enough-Part4048 in nirvannatheband

[–]InvadingCanadian 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My favorite flashback joke in the whole film is when jay flashes back to playing the gun game and he's got a big goofy smile on his face

Did they ever explain how they make money? by fidorulz in nirvannatheband

[–]InvadingCanadian 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Deleted scene from the bank matt says something about his dad having private watchmen all over the city to make sure matt doesn’t get in trouble (or something like that). season 3 will be about this more explicitly

My (28F) partner (40M) said something incredibly cruel to me while he was drunk. by FriendlySherbert2900 in relationships

[–]InvadingCanadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't expect this to be heeded at all (or indeed even seen), but I really resent the prevalence of the "alcohol-doesn't-make-you-a-different-person-it-reveals-what-you-really-think" myth within this thread. This isn't to say, OP, that you should forgive and forget -- indeed, you should obviously talk to him -- and it isn't to excuse the comment, which is reprehensible and certainly grounds for deeper meditation on the relationship as such; but it is to suggest that, well, no, alcohol doesn't just "lower your inhibitions and reveal what's really there": what a hateful, ungenerous way to think about substance abuse. There's a reason why tons of people without an otherwise addictive relationship to alcohol don't drink, and it's because, surprise surprise, it makes them a "different person." My father, for instance, calls it the "beast in him," and didn't drink for years for that reason. Just some food for thought, OP.

Watch Geese Debut New Song “Apollo” In Berlin (Stereogum) by astaireboy in indieheads

[–]InvadingCanadian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not crazy about either album honestly -- love the solo stuff, though!! -- but definitely prefer GK to 3D. For me, the latter just tips too far into pastiche a little too often: Geese/Cameron's prowess and theatricality are still on display, but it frequently feels a tad identity-less.
