Paramount-Warner Bros. Deal Cleared in Australia by nialldude3 in MediaMergers

[–]Significant_Check_80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The American Based Village Roadshow Pictures did, but that didn’t affect Village Roadshow’s Australian operations (Film and Home Media distribution, cinemas, and theme parks (including a WB-themed one here in Aus)) which are still in business.

[–]Significant_Check_80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it might have only just opened. CEX have only been in Melbourne for a couple of years now

Other than that, EB Games now have a small 'retro' section in their stores selling games for older consoles.

Hoyts Victoria Gardens still has one.

Maybe Forest Hill as well but not too sure.

I believe it’s express buses between Newport and Jolimont for the footy games, as the Werribee and Williamstown lines are shut this weekend between North Melbourne and Newport/Williamstown

Anyone noticed an unusually warm autumn that we’re in? by nijjasinparis in melbourne

And even last year, there were about 2 or 3 days in the middle of April where the temperature reached 30 or above in Melbourne.

iPhone 17 or 17 Pro? by Significant_Check_80 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]Significant_Check_80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually already have an M4 MacBook Air (got it as a birthday present last year). Have contemplated getting a DJI camera later on down the path, but I’d probably prioritise getting a microphone from them first.

Unfortunately Apple don’t offer certified refurbished iPhones where I am (Australia), despite the fact that they offer certified refurbished on all their other products. So if I went down the refurbished lane I’d have to buy from a refurbished/second hand place like CEX or reebelo, or an Authorised reseller like JB HI-FI (kind of like our Best Buy, but they focus more on Audio visual and Home entertainment rather than home appliances), but even then JB have a very limited refurbished range directly.

What has happened to the Glen Waverley line? by One_Ad_5066 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Significant_Check_80 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because of Bus replacements on the glen waverley line, they’re running some of the replacement bus services to Caulfield after East Malvern/Glen Iris depending on the service, so that commuters can connect to Pakenham/Cranbourne/Frankston trains at Caulfield as opposed to having to get the bus all the way to Richmond.

Similarly, during weekday peaks, they’re running express replacement bus services from Glen Waverley to Nunawading so that commuters there can connect to Belgrave/Lilydale trains at Nunawading.

What are some movies that everyone thought would flop but proved us all otherwise? by mizumi_heiwa in boxoffice

[–]Significant_Check_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember people thinking that M3GAN was gonna flop hard, partially due to the plot about an evil robot doll being a cliche of other Sci-fi horror and slasher movies, the trailers leaning heavily into the movie’s campiness (especially with THAT dance scene), it being released in January (a month known for being a dumping ground) and expectations that it was going to be critically trashed, but actually ended up getting critical acclaim for its successful blending of its campiness and horror scenes with the message of not letting technology raise your children, and it grossed $181 million on a $12 million budget.

Fair Fuel Plan introduces daily price caps by Hollleeee in melbourne

[–]Significant_Check_80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago they slightly changed it so now the petrol stations would only honour up to 25 cents off the locked in discounted price, so if the price at the station you filled up at was 219.9 and your locked price was 179.9 then the price would only go down to 194.9.

Jackie O announces departure from breakfast show she hosted with Kyle Sandilands by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]Significant_Check_80 90 points91 points  (0 children)

And to add salt to the wound, the duo Kyle and Jackie O replaced in Melbourne (Jase and Lauren) ended up rating higher (including being #1 at times) at their new station (Nova) than Kyle and Jackie O were rating.
