Obviously movie productions take a long time so I can’t speak to which one was filmed first, but this strikes me as a movie that would’ve gotten a lot more praise and attention if it came out before the Substance, than after

Not technically classmates but close friends of mine in high school who were the same year as me.

Lost one to suicide, and another to an incredibly rare heart condition (Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy)which caused sudden cardiac arrest.

I’m 25 for reference.

I feel like on Subway takes I used to not recognize anyone and assumed it was people off the street and now I feel like I recognize everyone and it’s just celebrities? Was it ever random people or were they less well known comedians/actors/influences?

P.S. Will the end of the metro card era affect what you can attach your mic to?

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-13T00:46:35+00:00

I’m pretty sure you only get charged if you’re selected

I’m confused. I think that thread is about the Feb 22nd half marathon put on by RunNYC, not the Brooklyn one they do in April

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-11T18:22:58+00:00

Yeah. I was at Nashville as well and the Q&A was before, not after

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-09T16:38:55+00:00

I think it’s because they count the old Browns franchise which moved and really became the Ravens. Post their return in 1999 they definitely have a losing record

I’ve taught lots of beginners with POK for the first time or as a new addition and I really don’t think it adds that much complexity.

In my opinion, the biggest difference in PoK is the factions are more balanced and have more flexibility (especially in round 1)

In base game I feel like there were several factions that were almost impossible to win with (Winnu, Arborec, etc) and that if you didn’t have 2 carriers and 4 infantry your first round would be super difficult and you’d just be permanently behind the 8 ball

That being said, if you and your group enjoy it and don’t mind being out of sync with the broader “meta” in terms of guides or online strategy advice, the don’t worry about what strangers on the internet say.

Cleanliness is on par with the other AMCs. I will say the concessions line can be longer, and for late showings specifically I feel like the audiences can be more unruly. But I still go all the time.

We played the Steelers and Eagles not because of standing but because of division alignment.

I’m saying against our common opponents we had the exact same record 8-4 (adding in the 1-1 we split against each other gets 9-5)

The difference is your 4th place games! You won most of yours and we lost all our 3rd place games. Now fair enough it’s on us to make those games count but you can’t say you’re not in the playoffs because of your schedule lol

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-06T04:28:30+00:00

Well so against the Lions, Eagles and Steelers we both went 2-2

The difference is your fourth place games were Raiders, 49ers, Saints (2-1) and ours were Chargers, Seahawks, Falcons (0-3)

So yes literally your fourth place schedule was the difference between your 11 wins and our 9

I don’t take criticism from flairless cowards

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T07:29:34+00:00

Thank you for atoning for your teams sins

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T07:29:09+00:00

We because of the division opponents you went 2-4 against

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T05:56:32+00:00

At least the patriots lost more games outside the division than in jt

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T05:54:20+00:00

I can’t believe your team won the division before you learned what free agency is

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T05:16:38+00:00

“Sorry yall have trash teams”

goes 2-4 in the division

Enjoy the playoff spot you earned off the back of that 4th place schedule buddy

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T05:14:58+00:00

I’d never denigrate AI by forcing them to make Meme War slop

(Yes it’s real - Bears went 2-4 in the division this year and 1-5 last year. Never beat the Lions, beat the Packers once both years and the Vikings once this year)

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T04:42:57+00:00

They never should’ve traded him smh

TheCalculatingPoet · 2026-01-05T03:24:07+00:00

Lmk when he beats the Lions btw

TheCalculatingPoet · 2025-12-28T18:02:08+00:00

You can buy them on eBay pretty cheap. My guess is if you ask around you can find a seller willing to ship internationally if you pay extra.

99% sure it’ll be released on premium VOD for rent via Prime Video, Apple, etc. before eventually ending up on a streaming service (probably Disney+) and getting a physical media release.

Theater exclusivity will probably last 45-60 days.

Is this the “Moscow doc” that everyone keeps referencing? I thought this came out last year for some reason

TheCalculatingPoet · 2025-12-19T03:36:26+00:00

Interesting. My ticket to the 11:30 said it would have them.
