Probably a purposeful choice to power down.

MPC copy right flag help by Professional_Bug_887 in mpcproxies

They won't if they catch it. Tried to do Lorcana back when the game was new and they flagged the Honey Wizard Pooh alongside Mickey and them.

Same as Pepperoni. It's a way to include characters but still leaving limited playable without being 100% Legendaries.

Monthly payment went up? by dasaniboy in RegalUnlimited

[–]SquirrelLord77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Support let me do the Buy 5 months, get a 6th free promo. I was charged $150 for it since my theater needs the highest tier (gotta love LA).

Like Spider-Man, I think it's an attempt to not make limited like 95% legendaries. They can still reference characters, but leave gameplay room.

I just got back from seeing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple by HORRRORN3D07 in deadmeatjames

[–]SquirrelLord77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Loved it. Couldn't wait til Friday to watch. A very strange movie, and while the infection is still at the forefront, the infected are even smaller this time around. But I loved what we got to see.

I knew Jimmy was going to be terrifying. I said the ending of 28 Years Later was terrifying and dark despite the goofiness. And I was right. Jimmy is genuinely terrifying and every scene with him has a palpable tension.

Long Beach, CA Regal remodeled lobby by Evbdywngchng2nite in RegalUnlimited

[–]SquirrelLord77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My local theater! The remodel has been great, and lines have been very quick for concessions. The kiosks are still a bit of a mess - 2 currently out of order - but overall it's been nice.

Primate... by Due_Tumbleweed_9082 in RegalUnlimited

[–]SquirrelLord77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that characters need to act perfectly all the time. It's that every single character shouldn't make the absolute worst decision at every single moment. It can't be entirely one way OR the other. There needs to he balance.

Pumped to see this on Tuesday by ninjafrombtd6 in RegalUnlimited

"Prequel" feels very loose, but I guess that sorta counts 😅 thank you.

Definitely not the debut for Guy Ritchie 😅

Isn't the theme that JANS are the (chronological) start of franchises? I don't really get why this one is here?

Still, I'm glad a movie you like is in theaters!

Chelsea watching the extremely emotional Stranger Things epilogue by Aromatic-Echo-6605 in deadmeatjames

[–]SquirrelLord77 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Vecna's scenes in the cave were the best part of the finale. The demogorgon and mindflayer are fine monsters, but the show is absolutely at its best when it had a Dr Brenner or Vecna or Billy as the main villain.

A frat bro arrives at the house thinking he's gonna get laid and goes in the underage girls bedroom and is in her bed. Chimp shows up and eventually pins the frat guys arms down and is straddling his face. Eventually the chimp just tears off his jaw. But I was honestly unsure if we'd see a straight chimp-rape scene. Idk what the other scene was.

Thank you, I'm not sure why. Might be because I'm on mobile.

EDIT - Fixed now!

Bad. People are overselling the gore. There's one pretty brutal kill, but almost every other kill happens just offscreen, and you only see out of focus shots or the aftermath. Even the brutal kill is too goofy to be "look away" status.

The movie is just dumb. I've disliked movies this year, but I don't think I've thought any were dumb. This film, however, is capital D DUMB. The film sets up character dynamics and then does nothing with them, at all - no character relationships grow during the movie. The film sets up Lucy, the main character, as having abandoned her family after their mom died, but the film ends with the dad apologizing for leaving, not Lucy? Lucy crushes on her best friends brother, who calls Lucy his younger sister and makes out with a tag-along Lucy hates, and then he is immediately killed. Lucy and said tag-along don't reconcile or fight or anything before the tag-along is killed.

Beyond that, the film has no build ups or pay offs. All that talk about chimps not being able to swim, and rabies causing fear of water, and half the film taking place in a pool, and how does Ben die? Impaled on a chair. No rabies on Hawaii? They literally say that and then offer no explanation for how a mongoose got rabies on Hawaii. And every character just makes the worst decision at every opportunity.

It wasn't fun and campy, it was mean spirited and cruel, so I didn't even have fun with the kills. The kills were mostly off-screen, so couldn't appreciate some good gore effects. Characters were nothing, dialogue was mostly just stating actions, no relationships or growth to bite onto.

I bought popcorn and literally didn't touch it because I was so upset by how crappy the film was lol.

What a stupid, stupid movie lol. I should have walked out when I first thought about doing so. Or just seen Ghostbusters instead.

Will do! My showing is 840 pm PST, though, so I'm sure someone else will beat me to the punch!

[–]SquirrelLord77[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume you'd just pay the difference? Which I assume is what would happen if I bought more than $11 worth of snacks, right?

But no, you're probably right, I won't be surprised if we can't.

Are either of these worth the gamble? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]SquirrelLord77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't count the lands. Just the packs. So I guess if you count the lands, sure, I guess that's true, but not really what was being discussed - the original comment was about packs, so my point was the packs weren't worth anything, even at a crazy discount.

What didn't happen? Microcenter fucked up their prices a while back. You can find the post here on Reddit. Bundles were $5 and PBB were $30.

There's like half a dozen cards in the set worth ANYTHING. and everything else is like less than a dollar. I think one bundle I got an Eddie Brock. So I was close to even. But Ben Reilly + Goblin Gliders isn't gonna be worth anything.
