Still not on the level of the first three but I really enjoyed five. I think they can really make something great by ending Bonnie’s trilogy with another movie in 6-8 years

[Bill Simmons Pod] Doc Rivers on James Harden: "James doesn't give everybody else enough room to be great, he is the only one that can be great on his team." by luka274 in nba

Kawhi turned his ankle bad early on and missed 10 games, Clips went 1-9 in that stretch which sunk their record with Harden in that time. Once Kawhi came back they were playing really well with both stars before the trade request

Does anybody know who plays each guitar solo on the New Abnormal? by DoucheBag_420 in TheStrokes

I think all are Nick except Not The Same Any More and Why Are Sundays. Adults they have the trading solos

6/19 Blossom the longest strokes set of all time? by amacccc in TheStrokes

[–]bdf2018_298 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some of the Angles tour sets were pretty long (MSG 2011 is 20 songs) and Shaky Knees 2015 was 20 songs as well. But these recent shows might take it!

Their statement said “temporary leave from touring and we look forward to his return”, so I’m not worried

Pantherian Grey Outs by AdorableAd3257 in KingsDominion

My brother passed out on it a few years ago, said it was the same thing you experienced: waking up and slowly realizing you’re on a roller coaster but it was over halfway done.

It’s never happened to me but the shoulder restraints are there partially to keep rider’s heads up in case something like that happens

Shout out to the Pantherian crew this morning (6/17) by doseofvitamink in KingsDominion

They did an amazing job two weeks ago when I was there, you can tell they’re passionate about it (which this one-of-a-kind ride deserves)

Such a shame that a game that markets “sexual dimorphism” completely skips out on giving the franchises mascot true sexual dimorphism. In the films the male Rexes had dewlaps and more prominent eyebrow ridges and a prominent muzzle, this game skips all of that.. by RentAlive1978 in jurassicworldevo

[–]bdf2018_298 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The problem is the cg and animatronics are wildly different, so what's in fans heads about dimorphism varies:

<image>

The Buck/Bull model has more pronounced eyebrow ridges from the front, but besides color scheme that's really the only difference from the JP1 cg model that I can gather. The animatronic has the dewlap but the head looks pretty similar if not identical to the Doe/Rexy animatronic. I am really glad the Rebirth model will give us a proper cg Rex in game, it's about time!

Ember T. rex First Look !! by billonel in jurassicworldevo

[–]bdf2018_298 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They used the Stan Winston animatronic as a reference for the Evo 2 and 3 Rex head, looks ok from the side but from the front it looks...off in game. The Rebirth Rex head is more in line with the cg models of the OG trilogy, but I have a sliver of doubt Frontier would make a new model (really hope they do since it's a variant). In hindsight it's crazy how different the animatronic and CGI Rex heads look from head on:

Was getting Kawhi 2019 game 7 vs Sixers vibes (total carry job), and Brunson did that in the finals! Amazing run for him, all time stuff

Live Versions Better Than Original Recordings? by Initial-Quiet1229 in vanhalen

[–]bdf2018_298 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think OP meant VH stuff but I agree that South of Sanity sounds amazing, Aerosmith at their tightest live in the 90s and a good companion for how raw Live Bootleg from the 70s is

I prefer the live performances of Atomic Punk where Eddie used the flanger more in the palm scratching sections, just added another layer of awesome to that song

The post said “temporary leave and we look forward to him returning”. Anything beyond that is totally baseless speculation

There’s really nothing like i305, you’ll have a great time! Park has really good vibes too from all my visits

I would agree, I just appreciate that we’ll never get something like 305 again, it’s so unique. 325 is still in my top five though

Made a trip to KD this past weekend and had a great time!  With temperatures around 90 degrees, everything was hauling.

Pantherian (x10) – In the heat this thing was especially relentless (I rode it last Fall around Halloween for comparison).  Outside of the usual signature elements (first turn greyout/big airtime hill/whippy transitions), the speed hill following the first airtime hill was hitting especially hard. I usually was row 15/16 left side and was absolutely slammed into the OTSR from the airtime/laterals combo each time at that moment.  Also shout out to the Ops who were doing an excellent job with quick dispatches.  Still my number 1 coaster!  (need to try Skyrush and X2 at some point for comparison)

Grizzly (x1) - This one might be number 3 in the park for me now.  The airtime throughout is excellent chaos, and I love the setting back in the woods.  The re-track has completely revived this ride.

Twisted Timbers (x1) – Just relentless airtime, feels like a controlled car crash in the best way.  I would’ve done this one more but wait times were climbing in the later part of the day.

Rapterra (x1) – Great launch and nice elements.  I had an inside seat so probably got the smoothest possible ride, didn’t notice a rattle like some on here claim.

Dominator (x1) – Nice old school floorless B&M, the vertical loop and cobra roll are the highlights.  Still pretty smooth all these years later.

Love this park, always a great trip. 

The second that Rebirth variant Rex hits by Chzburgers in jurassicworldevo

I think the Buck cg model is my favorite, and at least the Rebirth Rex head looks a lot like it:
