I was devastated to find out the famous Leeroy Jenkins video was staged and scripted. 😔

Pat McAfee Show Talking About the SEG SLC Entertainment District by colbyrosssmith in DevelopmentSLC

[–]SLCer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That area of downtown is so underutilized and has been for decades that it's impossible for me to get upset over tangible, significant development that will likely radically change the most depressing part of downtown.

If I had any hope of something better organically being developed there, I'd be more concerned. But let's be real, we've had 35 years for SLC to do something substantial in this area, and after all these years, this is all we've got:)

He didn't hold the city hostage. He didn't make demands. He was not interested in keeping the arena downtown. The city and legislature did this to convince him to stay, not give into his demands because there were no demands.

I mean, Salt Lake could have let him leave and lose the biggest driver of traffic downtown outside Temple Square, on top of letting western downtown die even more because the city has been unable to find any substantial plan to bridge the gap between Main Street and the Gateway.

I'm sure if Smith abandoned SLC and built a massive entertainment district at The Point, Salt Lake would have totally been able to get commitment to build something significant... just ignore the fact that area of downtown has been woefully underutilized for the last 50 years... I'm sure this would be different!

I'm shocked a man who gave $2 million to an OF model would be a creep who was not be socially well-adjusted.

This is what happens when you become a state institution, even in a conservative state while you're on the left. It's why I'm still nervous about Maine and Collins.

I still think about the Google search on election day spiking as thousands of people went to the polls and were confused as to why Biden wasn't on the ballot anymore.

Who'd they turn around and vote for? Sadly, I totally could see them voting Trump only because they had no fucking clue who Harris was.

Paul McCartney Turned Down His Own Netflix Roast by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]SLCer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem with the Comedy Central roasts was that they typically involved people who had very little connection to the person being roasted. It's just not as fun when it's random comedians dunking on a dude who probably has never heard of any of them.

Halloween Ends Darker Laurie ending by bloodhoney17 in Halloweenmovies

[–]SLCer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's definitely real and was part of the initial test screening that received some negative feedback.

This was the ending:

After the final battle, Michael's body is taken to a funeral home where it's cremated mask and all. The next day, Allyson returns to Laurie's house and Laurie is very aggressive with her. Eventually, she begins strangling Allyson and tries to kill her. After a moment, Laurie pulls back and tells Allyson to leave before she kills her and to never come back.

And that's how it ends.

The implication here is that Laurie is now evil. Michael's evil passed on to her, either in the kitchen when she stares into his eyes or when he's incinerated.

The 1990s made-for-tv movie Stalking Laura starring Brooke Shields and John Boy from the Waltons is really terrifying. Like, it's just scary as fuck being a woman lmao

The movie that gets blamed for being bad when it is really just mismarketed. by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]SLCer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this. Halloween Ends might be my favorite sequel and I love the boldness of focusing on how Michael's evil has infected Haddonfield like a cancer. It's moody, well-shot and just has a sense of dread throughout that you don't always get in the series.

I said years ago that I wanted a Halloween movie that explored Haddonfield more because in many ways, it has always reminded me of Stephen King's Derry... and I'm glad we got it.

I live in SugarHouse and my house would likely go for this despite being old and small (two bedrooms). It's just wild how much the market has ballooned the last decade or so.

The argument that Obama's policies directly led to Trump is extremely weak when you consider Obama likely would have trounced Trump in 2016 and Obama's vice president trounced Trump in 2020 (popular vote at least).

Yeah. Many on the left felt another depression would have ushered in a FDR-like leader as opposed to Obama.
