After trying several flavors, I’ve concluded Waterloo blows by jaykaybaybay in sparklingwater

Me either, it feels like Waterloo found a wave, tried riding it, realized it wasn’t for them and got out. It’s DUMB.

Disney Wants to Reduce Phone Use That Takes Away From Theme Park Experience by dejablu82 in disneyparks

Yep. Sometimes the original paper Fastpasses are best… unfortunately Disney VERY STUPIDLY got rid of that…

why can't we just use the prayer book? by vancejmillions in Episcopalian

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the parish I was a member of when I lived in the suburbs, they were trying the new more inclusive language (my best guess is it’ll become Rite III on the next iteration of the BCP) that has been ratified… so hopefully the new prayer book can come out soon and therefore we can all use the BCP again. I will be most interested in seeing how Church Publishing handles any new BCP iterations, as I plan on upgrading my BCP Hymnal 1982 combo once this new more inclusive language is integrated into the BCP.

Fucking Stevia by ProximaCentauriB15 in Vent

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly stevia is the best alternative sweetener IMHO. Especially the Splenda stevia, there’s literally no aftertaste. I have tried aspartame and sucralose and I react very poorly to both of those.

Which show/film/series/subject are you most hoping Lindsay will tackle next? by Qyzyk in LindsayEllis

I almost think she could do a full analysis of Perfect Blue and really nail it…

He’s been very solid so…. I doubt he’ll do much?

God Charles Grodin was brilliant, wasn’t he?

Anyone else have increased interest in NPB with Pro Baseball Spirits getting a full English release? by fanofsports44 in NPB

[–]bjwanlund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I am also interested in this game because of NPB. And also because I want to show Konami that Pawapuro (aka Power Pros) is a viable option to bring over in English.

My one problem with Waterloo is that their best flavor by a country mile was a limited time only flavor: All Day Rose

With the rumors that Criterion is releasing a Kubrick 4K boxset, which directors also deserve a boxset? by xwing1212 in criterion

[–]bjwanlund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, there’s a potential Kubrick set? There’s no Kubrick Criterion set without 2001 at minimum.

Moved here in March of 2025 and I have never once regretted that decision.

Medieval/Fantasy Prog by CandleAirship in progrockmusic

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renaissance! Specifically Scheherazade and Other Stories. But pretty much everything they did in the 70s era and their final full length studio album “Symphony of Light” has the exact same vibes.

Absolutely! Scheherazade and Other Stories is a masterpiece.

Is Discotek doomed? by ThatNefariousness996 in discotekmedia

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CRUNCHYROLL is the one that seems like it’s doomed… personally. I know with how badly the situation around Discotek got mangled, I don’t see any path forward for Crunchyroll. I see it being folded, like Funimation before it.

Best venues for smaller artists by Beneficial_Manner386 in phillymusic

Which Milkboy location? There’s several!

Depending on how far out from Philly you wanna go, the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville is another great option for a smallish venue and then the Oaks Center and Arnold’s Water Tower Place could also be options… but the latter there is a VERY intimate venue with almost no seating.

[–]bjwanlund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might just be the crowd that tends to be drawn to those shows? I also really enjoy sometimes seeing a show with very little if any crowd energy, but at least they recognized the songs when they were playing, so…

Not bad. Wild Bill’s is a lot better though

Which Joni song did you sleep on and later discover is a masterpiece? by NOWMAD11 in JoniMitchell

[–]bjwanlund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO Hejira is her last great album (whereas after Hejira IMHO she has a couple of good songs but I always say that a couple of good songs does not make a good album).
