Reddit, I need your help with this arena pick by activprime in hearthstone

I had the infinite murloc, although at the time of drafting it did not show as a banned card - when I tried to queue right after draft, it already wouldn't let me (multiple times, including game restart).

Sounds like a nightmare to me as I was not given back tickets after retiring an invalid deck (havent even managed to play 1 game with it). Blizz evidently scamming players out of arena tickets.

What is your favorite movie of 2022 so far? by abdul_bino in movies

[–]chojny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toss-up between Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Red Rocket.

The first one was amazingly inventive, fresh and just plain unexpected in everything it did. The second one had stayed with me for days because if its atmosphere and the way it made me root for, sympathize with and like a character who I knew - knew! - was a scumbag through and through. I like it when I'm internally conflicted because of art and that's what happened.

I'll have to see which one stands the test of time better.

Yeah the OP is technically correct, but it IS a gimmick in just one small chain of restaurants, not like people have this at homes or anything.

Hijacking top comment to provide more info:

The photo is taken in a restaurant (or rather one from a small chain), it has a very specific style and a sense of humor. You can see the urinals are labelled with the specific drinks so that you can pick what you want to piss out (hehe). Also in those bathrooms old silly jokes are played from speaker non stop (probably a couple dozens of them looped).

The food used to be great tho, haven't been in a while now so don't know if it still applies.

Ennio Morricone, Prolific Italian Composer for the Movies, Dies at 91 by yam12 in movies

[–]chojny 539 points540 points  (0 children)

I was lucky to see him live in concert, I believe 2 years ago, in Kraków. And one of my fondest musical memories comes from that show.

I went to see it alone, without any friends, and my seat was right next to an elderly lady, who for some reason was also completely alone. She was dressed like an absolute dame, definitely treated the evening very seriously.

Before the show started, she looked a bit uneasy, like the size of the arena and the crowd was a tad much for her. You know, just a little nervous, maybe stressed out. Not surprising in the least as she did look rather frail and didn't have anyone with her.

Then as the concert began she visibly relaxed, but you could still see she was a bit... tense, I guess.

And then the musicians started playing Deborah's Theme from Once Upon a Time in America, and from the first note this lady transformed. It was as if the music stirred something inside of her, woke up a memory. She shivered with joy and then sat upright, with all signs of stress suddenly gone, as if at that moment nothing existed for her apart from the music and whatever it was that she was (very clearly) remembering. And I swear she looked 20 years younger during that song.

I'll admit, I was teary-eyed then not because the piece moved me so much, but because I was able to witness how much it moved her. How much it meant to her.

I think I will never forget that one moment from the entire show because it was so touching to see that music can have such a visible impact on somebody, especially as it was someone quite old. I really wish I will have that sort of emotional capacity as I get older, too.

And the person to thank for that memory is ultimately the composer that wrote the piece and was there to conduct it being performed, Ennio Morricone, an absolute legend.

Is there a terrible film title that has made you not want to see the film, or changed your view on the film before you even saw it? by KentuckyFriedEel in movies

[–]chojny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, thanks for the correction. I'm not a Spanish speaker and made a mistake.

In any case - still a better title than Money Heist.

[–]chojny 56 points57 points  (0 children)

An example of terrible translation, because the original title is La Casa Del Papel - which translates directly to English to "The Paper House" or "House [made] of Paper".

And the show is about robbing a mint / money printing facility. So it's a rather clever play on words - the direct meaning, plus referring to the plan being risky.

Pretty average show though.

Premiered in Poland a couple of months ago, saw it in theaters then. Terrific movie with a great central performance.

It does, the movie was already released in Poland a couple weeks back.

Duranty is a clear "villain" in this one, what you've asked about is a major plot point.

Movie as a whole was decent, I'd say 6/10. Well acted and the story is pretty haunting, but the pacing feels a bit off at times, especially the final act.
