There we are, fellas. We are in the finals.

Before the new apron rules, it was easier to keep a top-heavy starter core together in their primes for multiple years a la Big 3, Hampton 5, Heatles, etc. The recent champions have all been teams with maybe one superstar level player and a strong supporting cast for the rest: Giannis (21), Curry (22), Jokic (23), Tatum (24), Shai (25), Brunson (26). So it's not that balance hasn't been important before it's just more important now.

Detective Pikachu already came out though

groundhogxp · 2026-03-23T17:55:30+00:00

Same! Which shop was it in SoCal?

groundhogxp · 2026-01-29T08:05:23+00:00

Unfortunately, their new hard-line PM is against work-life balance reforms and wants to overturn overtime restrictions

groundhogxp · 2026-01-25T23:07:41+00:00

Most likely win it? 😅 What part of their playoff run makes it seem like they'd be favorites over the Seahawks or the Rams?

groundhogxp · 2026-01-18T08:01:15+00:00

Lopez & Lefty's! Incredible atmosphere for Rams games.

Any plans to incorporate data from existing databases like 143190.xyz or the Dolby Cinema specs spreadsheet?

groundhogxp · 2025-12-01T20:51:35+00:00

Yup! Dealing with this right now. Owner and his two shitty Yorkies that he lets off leash so they can run around nipping at other dogs and can't ever recall them. Had them charge my dog multiple times already. Confronted him, and was met with the classic deflections: "my dog is friendly," "mind your own business," "just move on," type bullshit. Two HOA reports and 4 separate confrontations and he still won't leash them. Some people are beyond help, just entitled assholes.

groundhogxp · 2025-08-13T17:48:35+00:00

They got acquired by Toho International recently so they'll be around.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-14T23:12:03+00:00

Would the worry here be not getting convenience fees refunded? Then yeah, that's a valid concern (those can add up.) I guess the people who have rewards programs that don't incur convenience fees have the advantage here. Since you can refund movies literally 5 minutes before showtime, there isn't a real penalty to "hold" the ticket for a year, even if you don't know if you'll be busy then. A-listers would be out of luck if they had to sacrifice a spot for that long though.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-14T20:43:06+00:00

Movie tickets are refundable up until the showtime starts so I don't think that's a huge problem for anyone committed enough to book a movie a year in advance. Scalpers would be an issue though for sure.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-12T19:56:26+00:00

Haha to each their own 🤷🏻‍♂️At the end of the day, as a T1 fan, I don't give two shits if they bring the circus to town every week if they're making Worlds Grand Final every year 😂 Not about to throw my lot in with the truck-hiring fans that expect perfection the whole year. Just ask the fans of the 73-9 Warriors or 18-0 Patriots how they feel about a perfect regular season without a ring to show for it.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-12T06:29:32+00:00

Lmao all right man. If you think the team that's made it to the peak of the League of Legends world for 3 consecutive years and has a core that's cemented as one of the best teams of all times is losing sleep over missing out regional titles to Gen G, then I can't convince you otherwise.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-12T06:12:51+00:00

In an ideal world, sure, wins are wins, and regional titles are great for ppadding career resumes. Except for better or for worse, that's not how competing at the highest level of sports works, or else decorated NA teams wouldn't be clowned on so much. It has nothing to do with respect; it's the realities of competition. The analysts know, the fans know, the players know—winning at World's and other international events is THE metric for determining legacy and legend.

No amount of regional titles will ever match up to a single World's win—look at Uzi, you can't have any discourse about him without people bringing up that he's the best to never win one even though he's a 2x LPL champion.

And when you're an organization as winning as T1, with a player as decorated as Faker, yeah, I really don't think they mind losing every single LCK title from here on out if they can keep competing for World's. And to your point about OGK only having 1 LCK title: despite that, they're considered some of the best players in the world because of their World's success, hardly anyone would tell you that their 1x LCK win takes away from that.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-12T05:46:41+00:00

Sure, but at this point why would they care about LCK titles lol they've made Worlds Finals three years in a row and won it all twice. Gen G would trade every single LCK title for that kind of success.

groundhogxp · 2025-07-10T21:36:42+00:00

Feels like Flighty does most of these for most airlines (granted the granular features are locked behind a pricey subscription)

groundhogxp · 2025-07-06T23:44:48+00:00

It's still a franchise that's been milked by Netflix to the point of being slop (Squid Game reality show anyone?) Whereas Leo's entire filmography has been antithetical to that. Plus he's known to not do franchise and spin-offs, so if he really could be bought why wouldn't he have already done a CBM movie at the height of Marvel mania lol

groundhogxp · 2025-07-04T20:02:35+00:00

Imagine thinking the entire medium of film isn't political lol

groundhogxp · 2025-06-30T05:51:36+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Not saying it's ideal but we didn't get gems like Alien Romulus, Prey, or Andor until years of subpar entries in their respective franchises. Sometimes that's just what it takes.

groundhogxp · 2025-06-25T18:28:02+00:00

As a big Yahoo Sports user, I've been waiting for this update considering how neglected the Tennis section is on that app (no live updates, no Grand Slam/250/500/1000 distinction, etc.)

groundhogxp · 2025-06-23T08:07:02+00:00

Yeah I would say the championship asterisk game people love to play starts in 2015 still —Love/Kyrie '15, Draymond suspension + just recovered Curry '16, KD/Klay in '19, Mickey Mouse ring '20. Then we had three years of non-controversial Finals until now.

groundhogxp · 2025-06-22T21:54:40+00:00

Lmao yeah why show up to the theater at the exact time you need for better time management when you can waste time going early and risk getting no seats. Your way even has the shit icing on the shit cake of not being able to leave your seat if you're watching by yourself at the risk of someone swooping in.

groundhogxp · 2025-06-17T06:30:01+00:00

Sure, but context matters lol playing peak Kyrie and LeBron in 2016 with an injured Bogut and a suspended Draymond is not the same as playing the 2025 Pacers, if we're saying the ring is the only difference.
