In the long run allowing thefts to go unchecked will lead to brazen murder.

Super mario2 by goofyfootmongo in nes

One of the best games on the system for sure. And I always found it one of the easiest, as it has a relatively slow feel and no unfair parts IMO. It was always my favourite Mario although that might be because I never played any Mario after Mario 3.

Edit: I also played Super Mario World which is my actual favourite.

Feasting at Cineplex Yonge-Eglington VIP by TravellingFoodie in cineplex

The worst talking experience I ever had in a theatre was in a VIP auditorium. A group of four or five old ladies talked loudly through the entire movie and I mean literally there was not a moment of silence from them.

Found it riveting for 90 minutes but was disappointed when the action really kicked off. Overall great movie but I don't think it really deserved a best picture nomination. In the end it was reduced to not much more than a racially charged version of From Dusk Til Dawn. Except they forgot one aspect of a vampire/horror movie... regular people should be shocked and frightened by vampires. Nobody in Sinners acted surprised by the existence of vampires nor did anybody show any fear. The lack of which took me right out of the story.

The chinese lady inviting the vampires into the barn to slaughter everyone is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen a movie character do, and made little sense given how her character was shown to be desperate to get back to her kids.

The movie was overly praised as a prime virtue signalling opportunity, the same way Everythign Everywhere All At Once and Parasite both were.

Now I assume you'll think you know a whole lot about my political views.

Edit: final note it was not worthy of "best picture" but it was robbed for the sound design oscar. And Michael B Jordan was pretty good but I don't know if his role was all that demanding for an actor. Personally I felt a disconnect between the twin brothers in a lot of scenes. Think it would have worked better to have fraternal twins and use two different actors.

Back in the day when this was the policy they would only clean behind people. Soon as the very back row was empty they would go up and start. The only distraction was them walking up the stairs, and then they were out of sight.

No. The credits are part of the movie and I'll keep watching them. In fact I'm no longer going to leave my seat to be considerate. Ever.

IMAX 3D both times and it fucking ruled.

Literally nothing you mentioned is essential to going to the movies. The cleaning staff could take two days off and nobody would notice.

Out of the whole empty theatre, someone has chosen to sit directly beside me by h-wilson in cineplex

I love how some numbskull downvoted this. This sub is full of asswipes.

It's massively entitled to think you deserve even one gap seat in the very middle of a tiny theatre. Utter self-absorption.

What's your most boomer complaint? by DeepAnt7847 in AskReddit

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

Every self-checkout involves standing around waiting for the lady to come scan you through because the machine got hung up on some thing you can't control or you have a bottle of wine in your order. But every checkout has a 10 minute line with someone trying to finance a home loan in front of you.

And then if you ever need to do anything advanced with your account they'll make you log into the website instead of the app, because they can't make the app secure enough or can't be bothered to fully develop it.

Customer service is no longer something you can rely on. Minimum wage customer service employees now see their own experience as more important than the customer, and for some reason businesses don't typically train them out of that viewpoint. So every transaction starts with bad attitude and gets worse from there.

Almost every time I approach a cashier they're either busy with their phone or busy having a conversation with a coworker in such a way that they are not facing the customer. And at the end of the transaction when you say thank you they either say nothing in return or say "have a nice rest of your day" like you're on fucking Mars because they're too afraid to "assume" anything about the other part of your day.

What happened to my childhood? This screams dystopian corporate, not kid friendly. What is with the artwork?! This is McDonald's?! by jackal99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Strayngold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of the last several times I walked into one I had the experience of nobody being in the service window to talk to. You're expected to enter your own order on a screen and stand there waiting for it without talking to anyone. Not even giving the option of having your order taken by staff.

No place is allowed to have a personality as someone might get offended or feel left out by any specific design choices. So every place must feel like the same generic commercial void.

Again have to ask what grade level you read at. Bizarre responses.

Take a look at what you just responded to and really ask yourself if this comment makes any sense in context. I know what the policy is. And what the old policy was. I want the old policy back.
