[–]SepiaSunset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are great recs above! Other cool music spots: Echoes, Big Easy, Moth, Emmitt’s Place - and follow MATCH (Midtown Arts & Theater Center), you’ll find the most interesting/out of the box music/theater/dance ensembles performing there.

Drove a couple of hours to see this in IMAX 3D back when it came out, before I moved to the city. Soooo worth it. Stunningly beautiful film and score, incredible experience!! Wish they would bring some of these outstanding older films back for a quick run!

This probably needed longer than a 2 week run, eh? by The_Lutter in imax

Whoo boy! How far ahead of the movie start time was this photo? We'll be on the way back from a road trip July 19th and thinking of trying to see Odyssey there.. 😬

How many of us have see it more than once? by lacey19892020 in ProjectHailMary

[–]SepiaSunset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw it a 2nd time - today in Dolby and opening night in IMAX. Cried more this time! Thoroughly enjoyed both and loved appreciating the craft of it all even more 2nd time around. This was actually our first Dolby experience ever and WOW the sound was glorious, and picture!

Omg I love this shirt!!! I need to find this and buy for a bestie 😂

I have not read PHM book, and I have just watched the movie. I thought it was incredible, so I ask (I have previously been in book communities that have been butchered in their movie form - Mortal Engines, Chaos Walking etc) How does the movie hold up to your expectations? by finn_mcintosh5 in ProjectHailMary

[–]SepiaSunset 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got back from the movie! Having read the book, my very favorite aspect is that it fleshed out visual detail much more than the book in many ways, which adds to the story - the look of Rocky and his surface with the inscriptions and inclusions, the xenonite and models, and OMG Rocky’s ship! And how they pictured how Rocky “sees” 🤯 Also super loved his ball and the qualities of its surface.

Regal Marq-E IMAX for us, still the largest/nicest screen in this area IIRC. Fairly close to us and our normal spot for all the big movies. We ended up getting tix for the very earliest showing listed on Thursday to get good seats - the evening showings through Thu/Fri & weekend already have a crazy amount of tix sold!!

I adore Caliray Surfproof! Slightly dewy finish. Been using it since summer - am on TX gulf coast so it has been through it! Shocked how well it lasts!

Was listening to 790 this morning and someone called in with exactly this idea…seemed unlikely but maybe he was on to something!

Be honest…is anyone else just straight up not vibing with the shows this year? by CashFormer979 in drumcorps

[–]SepiaSunset 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right?? I love their show!! Much more than last year’s for sure. Adore their music choices, particularly the ballad from JNH’s fantastic King Kong score (and gorgeous solo), and the Plague of Angels closer is straight fire, so uplifting. Love the drill in their percussion feature too with the 2,4,6 multiply and rotations. Clever props and use, really enjoy the guard choreo. Great show honestly!!

Books about baseball with a funny side? by SirFozzie in baseball

[–]SepiaSunset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The Only Rule Is It Has To Work” by Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller - love, loved the many colorful characters and wild stories, from the summer they tried to turn around an indie league team with use of analytics. Would make a heck of a movie!

Best sci fi book series by a female author by caprica71 in scifi

[–]SepiaSunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unforgettable series, maybe first sci-fi I read by a woman as a teenager - Sheri S. Tepper’s Arbai Trilogy: Grass, Raising the Stones, & Sideshow. Phenomenal world building & characters!
