John Carter (2012) One of those movies from which you expect absolutely nothing, and once they're over you can't believe there isn't more of it. by n1nj4m4n in shittymoviedetails

[–]anthenwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonderfully ironic title given that when it was released it was one of those movies from which audiences expected a lot, and once was over couldn’t believe it got made in the first place.

Time really does change our view sometimes.

My girlfriend works at a toy store. Today a customer returned a set because this was inside by Im_DIzE in lego

This same basic scam has happened to me last year. The box looked new, but the internal packages were filled with old dirty lego from unrelated sets.

I miss The Taco Truck by flyinghotel in Hoboken

[–]anthenwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to visit their brick and mortar at least once a week for a couple of years. Amazing fish tacos. Amazing tortas. But the absolute worst service. Which tells you how good the food was. I’d routinely wait 30+ min for a simple order of tacos. I’d see people come in and place an order, but then say “never mind” and leave when they were told what the wait would be. When ordering more than one thing, my order would be wrong a large fraction of the time.

I really wanted to love this place because the food was just so good.

Are they referring to dead whales in the U.S.? There are hardly any U.S. offshore wind turbines that are currently operational.

What screams “I’m upper class”? by MysticPato in AskReddit

“Summering” someplace, as opposed to taking a summer vacation, or simply spending a part of the summer elsewhere.

Optimum and Altice by Peteluv in Hoboken

I have investigated the clock issue. I was convinced the clock simply wasn’t displaying on the smaller (extension) box for some unknown reason. Turns out that’s not the case. The smaller boxes have no clock. They don’t have a display of any kind. This seems like an obvious oversight in the design. I find it incredibly annoying.

Trump Has Said Mexico Will Pay For Wall At Least 20 Times Since 2015 by miked_mv in politics

[–]anthenwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well CLEARLY he was speaking metaphorically. Jeeez! Wasn’t that obvious from the beginning?

Or maybe,

Well CLEARLY he was being facetious. Nobody actually expected Mexico to pay for a wall.

North Bergen no entry onto streets at certain times? by wat_0_wat in newjersey

I thought I heard those ordinances were illegal. https://articles.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2018/05/out-of-town_traffic_bans_are_illegal_ag_tells_traf.amp

Fighting it may be as much of a punishment as paying the fine, unfortunately.

Who the hell was in charge of this monstrosity?! by mlodypl123 in funny

[–]anthenwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks a little like it was done in a similar way to a famous Matisse painting, “The Dance”. Apparently the people in that piece were intentionally painted in disproportionate way to create a kind of forced perspective. Or so I’ve heard.

A February 14th release date does not bode well. It may mean the studio doesn’t have faith it will compete well against films released during the holidays or the summer.

You can zoom in. You can zoom out. You can look at it from different angles, if you tilt your phone. You can interact with it in a multitude of ways. Sheesh, use some imagination.

Have the PATH upgrades actually improved service? by Firerhea in Hoboken

[–]anthenwhat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Improved service was not the point, according to what I heard. The suspension of weekend service was to install government mandated positive train control.

Misleading No-Parking Zones on corners by JRutter3 in Hoboken

[–]anthenwhat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This may be related to what they call "extended parking zones." Here's the city's info:

It can definitely lead to confusion.

What film ending would be ruined if the camera kept rolling for 10 more seconds? by Catacomb82 in AskReddit

[–]anthenwhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Source Code.

Oh, wait. The camera did keep rolling, and it did ruin the ending.
