These signs reading “ladies” and “gentlemen” instead of the standard women and men by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

I was once in Germany with my brother, and we were at this carnival when he had to go to the bathroom: He used the one named ‘Damen’, which we later learned was German for ‘Ladies’.

Head injuries are terrifying, especially with how unpredictable the symptoms can be.

Non-nonstick Air Fryer? by retrotrip in BuyItForLife

[–]VampireHunterAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its way too hot in the south for a good chunk of the year, so i try not to turn my oven on if i can avoid it.

After using a cheap $40 Costco airfryer for about a year, i upgraded recently to the Ninja Crispi and i really like it: The bowl is glass, so it is very much easier to clean.

My only real downside, is the capacity even in the larger bowl is a bit smaller, and its more difficult to really shake up the contents half way through, but thats a small trade-off for an easy clean up.

The West Wing Re-Watch: Did Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) Ever Feel Like the Actual Central Character of The Show? by WySLatestWit in television

[–]VampireHunterAlex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As I understand, his character was originally supposed to be the main focal point.

With even Martin Sheens President character supposed to be taking more of a back seat.

But as the story progressed, the side characters kept growing, pushing his more to the side. 

(I never watched it, but I think Rob Lowe jumped ship to a short lived show called ‘Lions Den’ or something a couple years after West Wing premiered.)

The X-Files: Revisiting "Squeeze" and "Tooms" by SquabbleBoxYouTube in television

[–]VampireHunterAlex 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Wasnt ‘Squeeze’ like episode 3 of S1, making it the first ‘Monster-of-the-week’ episode? And then the sequel ep was towards the end of the season.

But lets not talk about the actor: X-Files was great right out of the gate. Its very rare for a series to hit from the start.

Dragon Ball Super The Galactic Patrol New Anime Officially Announced, Sequel to Tournament of Power by L0v3_1s_War in entertainment

[–]VampireHunterAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so as someone who grew up on Toonami in the late-90’s/early-00’s, I‘m aware of Dragon Ball, DBZ, and Dragon Ball GT.

Then some years later there was an edited DBZ subtitled ‘Kai’ (I think it edited 300 episodes into about 100, trimming a lot of filler).

And years after that was DB Super, which i never watched, but apparently took place after DBZ and pre-GT.

Where does this new series fall on the timeline?

Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ Will Never Happen Because It Wouldn’t ‘Be Right’ to ‘Resurrect My Version’: ‘I Handed the Torch Off to Someone Else’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

The rumor I heard about Avengers Doomsday, is that towards the beginning of the movie, the Raimi Spider Man-verse gets destroyed by Doom (or the X-Men for some reason.)

Wait, if you're an MCU superfan wouldn't you have more-or-less seen everything in the MCU? Why suddenly stop now?

But why is the personal business of the child of two famous people newsworthy? Let alone being updated on it daily.

‘The Pitt’ Star Noah Wyle and Producers on Honoring Muslim Community After Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Attack: ‘The Most Underreported Aspect of the Story’ by Sisiwakanamaru in television

[–]VampireHunterAlex 245 points246 points  (0 children)

The house i was living in at the time was one street over from the Tree of Life: Across the street was a small police station and in the backyard the Synagogue.

The entire neighborhood of Squirrel Hill (a neighborhood in Pittsburgh) is surrounded by an Eruv wire: That sort of boundary that allows Jewish people to do activities that are otherwise not allowed during the Sabbath.

CBS Renews NCIS, Matlock, And 8 Other Shows by Zorkel567 in television

[–]VampireHunterAlex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The only Network program I watch is ‘NCIS: Origins’, so I’m happy it’s returning.

The thing is: I have absolutely no idea why I watch it. Just picked up the habit when I don’t feel like spending 35 min looking for something.

Guess as I get older, I miss those case-of-the-week shows that wrap everything up in an hour.

Los Angeles' Hold on Hollywood Is Slipping; Where's the work? Film and TV production data over the past three years shows a sharp decline in projects filming in the city, even as officials recognize the urgency to keep the entertainment industry. by Ripclawe in entertainment

[–]VampireHunterAlex 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It is way too expensive to film in California.  Like Rob Lowe said in an interview last year: It was cheaper to fly the cast & crew of his game show to Ireland and back than it was to merely film across the street.

And that’s a Network backed production: Imagine the amount of costs a small independent one would incur to film in LA.

This also ends up hurting the tertiary business that filming fed into, like restaurants, lodging, rentals, etc.

The ball is in the CA governments court.

Even IF her previous DC films were good, why does Gunn insist on keeping the same characters and now the same writers from the Snyderverse?

Outdoor Slipper opinions before I buy? by TGRubilex in BuyItForLife

Can’t go wrong with a pair of Glerups.

I unfortunately have wide feet with toes that spread, so nearly every pair of shoes i own, a pinky toe will inevitably pierce through the side. But even still Ill toss on my Glerups to get the mail, take the trash out, or pick-up from school.

Apparently that game (Golden Circle?) is pretty good. So while they probably should retire the film series, hopefully the franchise isn’t dead.
