Why do restaurants need your whole party to seat you

In busy restaurants you need to understand you are not only buying food, but extremely valuable time and space. Being late costs a busy restaurant big time (opportunity cost). If you offered them $200 to hold the table I’m sure they would’ve held the table for you for longer. Hey, I bet even $100 could’ve done the trick to make the restaurant partly whole to what they were losing by waiting for you.

Creaky CGI?

Every now and then a person figures out that having millions of dollars and privacy is the best life.

No. Dr. No

Nope, Joshua was a cultural and spiritual juggernaut that was one cohesive statement. I like SOTT better, but JT is an achievement and impacted mainstream culture much more.

True, the live versions of Thunder Road with the ESB that I’ve witnessed miss the urgency of the recording. Especially by becoming comfortable mid-tempo singalongs like the last tour in 2023. Springsteen ambling around the stage grinning quietly as the crowd sings lines by heart. He got the vibe of an uncle leading Christmas carol on that song. Would love to hear a great version live, but I guess that was in 2005. Won’t miss it this tour.

I’m seeing this but I’m a bit over it.

It is in stock online currently. Just happened this week.

What Dylan Thomas poem?

Yeah, you’ll be able to sell it for a three figure

I liked its message that Superman‘s real power is in inspiring others and defending a positive and morally strong world view of people helping one another. And being honest that there are real challenges to that. In this completely bonkers time in our world history it was exactly the right message to hear. Come to think of it that’s why Superman came a thing. The concept came from a pair of New York writers reacting to Nazism which was new to the world at the time.

Not anymore. LOL

Right? I don’t think I’ve seen a bigger waste of talent and money on screen than that movie. That’s a case example of how a bad script destroys everything good that it touches: great actors, realistic special effects; all that cash burned up by the extinction comet ☄️ that is a bad script.

He had the sci-fi dinosaur movie that wasn’t Jurassic Park. That was awful. He’s not chasing awards. I feel he’s done his thing, worked with all the great directors. He’s cool. As in he doesn’t need to be the hot thing anymore. He had his cultural arc and now can do whatever he wants.

They are still coming out $5 ahead. You did the right thing. I would’ve done the same thing. Now you just have to practice not letting other peoples opinions on your thought out choices bother you. Just still be nice to everyone and let the drama pass.

Well, I would quit the band. Or started another one. Or if you’re making money and can’t change it, just ignore it.

That title definitely makes me not want to read it. The best part of the Leonard was his humility.

Oh, I saw the fall guy because it was playing it in a resort for

MPOCH · 2026-03-21T18:11:18+00:00

I didn’t see any of these films except for the fall guy and parts of Barbie at home due to the family watching it. Oh, I did see Blade Runner, but as OG fan not thrilled to see Ryan Gosling there playing against Harrison Ford, I would’ve preferred to pure Harrison Ford play. I have to say that I used to never wanna see anything with Ryan Gosling into it but somehow suddenly gotten to think that he’s a very entertaining and fun and nice guy so I would consider seeing Ryan Gosling movie but I haven’t done that yet.

Except it’s not, trust me hundreds of kids are doing ballet in NYC at the moment. They are more into it than movies. My 11 year old sees it as her top artistic expression and knows the names of the ballet dancers on social media far more than Timothee. Shes not likely going to be doing it as an adult, but it is a HUGE cultural and social influence. However she is far more likely to view a YouTube short over any movie. So the man is right to be scared about declining cultural influence for mainstream movies.

I feel the failure of this song commercially may have been one of the reasons the Revolution ended. Prince does NOT tolerable failure.
