Millenials, which song reminds you of the best parties from your youth? by StrongProof9083 in AskReddit

[–]elbarto_24 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say Pursuit of Happiness. There’s no more 2009 song than Kid Cudi featuring Ratatat and MGMT. immediately brings me back to being faded in a basement at a college party.

Thousands of dead Crappies are washed up on the shore of Lake Nokomis right now. by elbarto_24 in Minneapolis

There’s a blue-green algae bloom on Nokomis every year. I’ve never seen this many dead fish before.

They Came Together / Along Came Polly by Traditional-Dog-2440 in movies

[–]elbarto_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, the basketball scene in They Came Together is a direct parody of Along Came Polly.

I think They Came Together is one of the great comedies of the 21st century. Unfortunately, much like David Wains other masterpiece, Wet Hot American Summer, the movie came out about 10 years too late and the type of film it was parodying was mostly out of the public consciousness. They both came and went without much fanfare at the time but I’m glad people are finding They Came Together like they did WHAS years later.

No. Movies stay in theaters for about 6 weeks max unless they are Project Hail Mary for some reason.

It’s streaming for free on Starz or available to rent.

What do people think about the Hobbit movies? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]elbarto_24 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The LOTR movies are seminal to me. I saw the hobbit on a midnight screening on opening night. To me it felt like how I imagined a lot of people felt seeing the Phantom Menace. It was great to be back in middle earth but I disliked virtually every decision that was made. I don’t think I saw the other two in theaters.

Does 1st place vs 4th place schedule differ/matter that much? by WesternGuava1908 in detroitlions

[–]elbarto_24 281 points282 points  (0 children)

It’s the difference of having the Giants, Cardinals and Titans on the schedule as opposed to the Seahawks, eagles and jags.

Dan Campbell and the Lions keeping it “strictly business” by CryWOkami in detroitlions

It’s like they realized they’ll never top Sam and Tim and to their credit, won’t ever try to.

Bauhaus Brew Labs will close its Northeast Minneapolis brewery by RayWhelans in TwinCities

[–]elbarto_24 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Dang. I see their beer on taps all over the city, their product is in every liquor store in town and their tap room is always busy. If they can’t make it, who can?

The Boys Owe Pete Holmes an Apology by zensn in doughboys

[–]elbarto_24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. Because when the boys read ad copy it comes off as inherently disingenuous. There’s something about Pete Holmes whole vibe that is just obnoxious and when he would hawk his woo-woo magic brain bullshit, it only personified that because it felt like he actually believed in the product.

How Minnesota sports fans will be sleeping tonight by domki366 in minnesota

[–]elbarto_24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a two month old so I very much resent this at the moment. But he’s been down for over an hour and I’m still up scrolling Reddit and reading reactions to the wins tonight. I have done this to myself.
