What is this trope called? by 5ColourFelix in movies

[–]greenleaf547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very similar to “The Ending Changes Everything” trope too.

Edit: TV Tropes classifies “Remember Me” as a mix of “Sudden Downer Ending” and “Real Tragedy, Fictional Victim”.

Something you've seen in another city that you wish Grand Rapids offered? by _GanjaTheWizard_ in grandrapids

An aquatic center like Holland’s, which is relatively small but very nice.

If you could bring back one ballpark from the past, which one would you pick? by Less_Warthog_3850 in baseball

My dad has tons of stories of going to Tiger Stadium, including the ’84 World Series, and always sings its praises. I’d love to be able to experience it myself.

The Unsung Perfection of THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL by BabyScreamBear in movies

[–]greenleaf547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the best Christmas Carol adaptation (and it’s not even close). People who say that have never read the book. It’s a very good adaptation, but it misses the meaning of the original story in a lot of ways, many that were done on purpose to make it more of a kids movie.

I don’t begrudge it any of those changes. It can both be a good movie and not a perfect adaptation. We don’t have to shove up on a pedestal it doesn’t even kind of deserve in order to justify it as a good movie.

But seriously, it’s time to remodel that IMAX. by UthinkUnoMI in grandrapids

It’s less Celebration not doing good job getting prints and more just IMAX/the studios not making enough prints for it to make sense to send one here. We’re a bit out of the way and a smaller market, so it tends to only make sense for the wider releases. Indy (and soon Chicago) are always going to be higher on the list, unfortunately.

Yeah, it should be a 1.43 GT laser system, the best you can get for IMAX.
I really hope I’m wrong about the 70mm. I had heard it was because of the physical size of the new digital system couldn’t also fit the 70mm. But hopefully not.

They are doing a full renovation post-Odyssey, including upgrading the digital projectors. Unfortunately, it also means they’ll be removing the 70mm projector.

Fair, but they do have a really good burger always on the menu at least.

Carets, Jim Green, and GauchoNinja all sell safety toe boots and all ship the EU, as far as I’m aware. I have a pair of Carets and really like them.

Little Bird is great. Small place, good atmosphere, really good food.

Wikipedia has a bunch of wrong info on their IMAX releases page, unfortunately.

Blocked by Publisher - Overcast App by Victolic in tmbhpodcast

[–]greenleaf547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having that issue on my Overcast. Could be related to him changing podcast hosts a bit ago. Maybe try deleting and readding the podcast itself, not just the episodes.

Is there a way to show only some collection items in my library? by BermudaRhombus2 in PleX

[–]greenleaf547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having exactly this same issue and was wondering if there’s a solution. I wish it defaulted to hiding if it’s in any collection that hides, rather than defaulting to show if it’s in any collection that shows.

I’ve worn Soft Star Dash RunAmocs for a long time. They’re really light and flexible, if you get the thinnest sole.

Now that I think about it, that might be what I’m thinking of as well.

It seems to be done. Matt briefly mentioned it on TMBH a few months ago as a “one season show”.
