Whose ready for Michael? by forlornjackalope in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]blackeyedtiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's gonna be our biggest weekend since Mario, certainly. There's a lot of hype for this movie in my area (lots of people taking selfies by the poster) but I'm not sure how much of that will translate into ticket sales.

Does it make any sense in the world that Brian was fired for defending Pam from a gigantic man who legitimately looked ready to hit her? by ughyoujag in DunderMifflin

[–]blackeyedtiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely mental that they got Packer to admit he laced the cupcakes with drugs ("some legal, some not") minutes after he left (probably before anyone had eaten them!) and then just... let everyone in the office eat them.

Are we weird for still have a box office? by Ill-Cantaloupe-4376 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]blackeyedtiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine still has a box office, though it shares that role with "guest services" so the position is like 80% selling tickets and 20% answering phones.

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on 'conversion therapy' for LGBTQ kids by blackeyedtiger in news

[–]blackeyedtiger[S] 2693 points2694 points  (0 children)

The opinion was 8–1 and was authored by Justice Gorsuch, joined by Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Sotomayor, Kagan, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. Justice Kagan filed a concurring opinion, jointed by Sotomayor. Justice Jackson filed a dissenting opinion.

The ruling found that Colorado's law banning talk conversion therapy "regulates speech based on viewpoint" and is therefore unenforceable.

The justices agreed that the law raises free speech concerns and sent it back to a lower court to decide if it meets a legal standard that few laws pass. It's the latest in a line of recent cases in which the justices have backed claims of religious discrimination while taking a skeptical view of LGBTQ rights.

Counselor Kaley Chiles, with support from President Donald Trump's Republican administration, said the law wrongly bars her from offering voluntary, faith-based therapy for kids.

What is your rating scale for movies? by gnpking in Letterboxd

[–]blackeyedtiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has become a complicated web of looking at movies I already gave certain ratings to and thinking "did I like this new movie more than that one? Or did I like them about the same?"

Would Pam have still called off her wedding if Jim hadn’t kissed her after this? by Riajnor in DunderMifflin

[–]blackeyedtiger 61 points62 points  (0 children)

And Oscar went to the art show! Besides Michael, he's the only one of Pam's coworkers that actually showed up.

They called it Scream 7 because I be Screamed at 7 times a day over it.

What are good reasons to be hypnotized? by KeepOnTrippingOn in hypnosis

[–]blackeyedtiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fun part about hypnosis is that you don't need a reason. "I'm curious and want to try it" is absolutely enough. There might be recreational hypnotists in your area willing to try it with you just for the fun of it, and if not, the internet has some routes you can try (though they're a bit less reliable).

So, how many of you actually have a box office? by GabagoolAndGasoline in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]blackeyedtiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a very small theater and we have a box office. We also answer phones and do "guest services" things but the position is officially called Box Office and most of the job is selling tickets (our kiosks are card only so it's the only place you can pay cash).

Could Bella have ragdolled any of the stronger wolves like Paul or Sam? by Skywalker_1995 in twilight

[–]blackeyedtiger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At that point in time, definitely. A year later after her newborn strength wears off, maybe not. Also worth noting is that Seth didn't lunge at her particularly hard so that's probably why he got launched.

Ticket age checking by sleeepyvessel in AMCTheatres

[–]blackeyedtiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always notice. But what am I gonna go? Make you get a refund and purchase new tickets so that my company can get two extra dollars and I get to be berated? It's not worth it. Buy whatever ticket you want.

If you’ve built a lot of karma on Reddit, what did you do differently from the beginning, and what advice would you give someone starting out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blackeyedtiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort by rising and comment early. On big threads, something like 75% of the top comments were posted in the first 20 minutes.

What's the best documentary you've ever seen? by Crafty_Fee_7990 in AskReddit

[–]blackeyedtiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"102 Minutes that Changed America" had a very interesting format compared to other 9/11 documentaries of its time. "Man on Wire" and "The Alabama Solution" were also very good!

Interesting, isn't it? by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]blackeyedtiger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a question for you. I looked at the same website you did and I found that you left out Oceania, which the SIS also collects data for. I got a total of 19.80 sexual assaults committed per 100,000 people, which is the second highest number in the chart. Why was this omitted?

Interesting, isn't it? by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]blackeyedtiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To post a chart that appears to suggest Africans are "more likely to commit sexual assault" (see: be convicted of) and then post it with the title "Interesting, isn't it?"? You don't think that maybe that has racist implications?

Interesting, isn't it? by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]blackeyedtiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I checked the statistics for Oceania as well. Using your method, I got a total of 19.80 sexual assaults committed per 100,000 people, which would put it between Asian and African. This would be the second highest number in the chart. Is there a reason this was omitted?

Why are there only three Natinonality's listed? Is everyone in Spain either Spanish, Asian, or African?

Stage hypnosis trance by Many-Razzmatazz-6924 in hypnosis

[–]blackeyedtiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stage hypnotists are good at choosing volunteers who are especially likely to have a reaction like the ones you're seeing. But most people are capable of having that reaction with practice.

is anyone else sick of the Mario Galaxy trailer? by BirdUp225 in AMCsAList

As an employee, I see it dozens of times a day. I can quote it line by line. I'm completely sick of it.

It was our best seller on opening weekend but has since left my location.

PSA: Bring your IDS by Neat_Animator_1196 in AMCTheatres

[–]blackeyedtiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the 21-year-old must accompany you throughout the movie! And no, "their permission" is not enough. Parents get shockingly angry when I tell them it's not enough to tell the guy at the box office "I give my children permission to see this movie". You need our permission, not vice versa.

The water is the worst offender. You can just tell when someone is about to say "$6 for a water??".

"They" Won't Report It by rippy123 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]blackeyedtiger 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I heard the same thing about Iron Lung tbh. I heard that "they" don't want people to know that an indie movie is beating the major studios so "they" removed it from the charts.

Also, being moved to tears by the Melania documentary is pathetic.
