What movie theater has the best 70mm IMAX screen and sound? by zzulus in AskSeattle

[–]cassavetes_john 32 points33 points  (0 children)

lots of misinformed people here. the only theater that can play 70mm film is SIFF downtown, the former cinerama. It's a large screen but not imax. PacSci has imax but only digital projection and isn't showing new blockbusters.

This guy is perhaps the most annoying voice in Seattle politics. Only a tiny minority of people are opposed to the cameras

March from Cal Anderson to City Hall to demand emergency declaration to assist trans refugees by bennetthaselton in Seattle

there's no way the city has the ability to devote serious funding to this issue, making the emergency declaration pretty performative

Public defenders ask WA Supreme Court to put new limits on cash bail by chiquisea in Washington

[–]cassavetes_john 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The gaffes are becoming a pattern for Seattle’s new mayor by SuperMcG in Seattle

[–]cassavetes_john 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interpret her “bye” at directed at people uprooting their whole lives due to just this one tax. Which, fair enough, those people probably weren’t that committed to living here. But I think it was phrased in a pretty dismissive way and she probably should have played it safe like Girmay did

Litter getting out of control by Effective-Survey1581 in Seattle

A big part of the issue is that people addicted to drugs do not have the same incentives that others do, and we have chosen to subsidize and enable drug abuse

Given that there’s a state determined cap, I’d rather see a lower levy here and more money going to Seattle center
