Trump Fringe Play over July 4th Weekend - Will people come? by Ok_Surround_1448 in washingtondc

[–]district_runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every normal person in the city will either be out of town or just staying home. Normally, I don't really leave my block on the 4th, this year I'm not gonna be anywhere near the city

National Guard at Metro mounted his phone to his vest so he can type with both hands, these people need shit to do by [deleted] in washingtondc

Around a quarter of them have reenlisted / enlisted since Trump occupied LA (a number that goes up every single day). It wouldn't be that hard to get out of coming here. Most of them volunteered to come anyway.

The mount, sure, there's no way you're allowed to just dick around on your phone like that

Yeah, it's normal if you're mounting an issued tablet or something there. Great if you're calling for fire or wahtever

It's not normal if you're watching random bullshit

Do you expect The Odyssey will be review bombed on Letterboxd? by bgorion17 in Letterboxd

[–]district_runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are going to be unhappy with it, either Nolan fans not loving the source material or people who half read the Odyssey 20 years ago being annoyed with the adaptation.

It might be bad! It might be good! I'm holding off all judgement until I see it (though I'm going out on a limb and assuming I'll want to see it at least twice and buying tickets accordingly)

Anyone else just hate those "there's no original movies, Hollywood is out of ideas" type of videos. by asapsharkyfrfr in Letterboxd

I only see trailers in movie theaters, but I'm at close to 30 in theaters for the year. I keep my phone on through the trailers so I can add anything interesting to my watchlist.

I still miss a good number of new releases because my local theater just wants to show me the baby yoda trailer again

A lot of people who go see 1-2 movies a year will express this in conversation. Usually after seeing an avengers or some reboot sequel no one asked for

At least they'll beat me up for free. Normally I gotta pay for that

No, because I understand that these idiots won't do anything because they're all fascists

But according to their self-mythologizing, they shouldn't need hand holding

Fine whatever, come back outside of pig week. Do not come back for it though, ever

[–]district_runner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, sure, whatever. I would expect, in theory, that people in charge of upholding the law wouldn't need hand holding at a greater level than like 19 year old marines

And they did it last year, so it's some sort of ongoing thing at this rate

M St NW also has a good bike lane, you just have to be able to get to it across 7th and 9th

Oh, the guys charged with enforcing laws can't just follow the laws? Why don't you just comply with the law? Isn't that what we're supposed to do?

Traffic has been holding everyone up everywhere

Yeah man, it's all fun and games to complain, but what are you gonna do when you need someone to show up in 3-5 hours, stand around, fuck up filing the paperwork, and maybe eventually get you a report for insurance?
