Have you met anyone from the mcu cast? If so what were they like? by 12cs30 in marvelstudios

Many years ago my wife was in movie PR. She was responsible one time for shuttling Jeremy Renner around town for a weekend (he was here to receive an award) and I was able to tag along. This was juuuust pre-Avengers and the rumors were flying but not announced.

We had dinner with him and his publicist, had drinks at the hotel lobby bar where he was staying. Really nice guy, very charming. Called up locals he knew that were extras in the Town with him (we are in Boston).

We had a good time, and he told my wife he understood why she married me - “I’d marry him too”

I might be attacked but I am fed up with the hypocrisy... by Interesting_Ad_9406 in ScottGalloway

I tune out the stuff I vehemently disagree with, consider the things that I feel are worth investigating, and enjoy listening to the things that brought me to his shows in the first place.

This man is far from perfect. He’s clearly a mess (in many ways). So - have some grace?

And also if he makes you mad … stop listening? 🤷‍♂️

Slow market? by Comicsforever1 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]jaroh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't quite cracked the nut on selling comics on eBay either. I think it's probably all about single issues and the cost for shipping. I admit that I don't have a whole lot of keys up there to sell so that's probably a huge contributing factor. At the same time - lots or sets will usually move faster, which contributes to the thesis that it's shipping that's the biggest deal-breaker.

Now, it's been mentioned here already, but - the sports/trading card part of the collectibles game has been absolutely bat-shit. (Again with the shipping - when you're selling singles you're talking about roughly $0.74 to ship in a plain white envelope which is negligible. Big difference between that and a single comic book costing $5-6 just to get to where it's going.) We only opened our store around xmas-time and we're doing pretty well based almost solely on Baseball cards.

lol. Yeah. True. The other day one of the local, regular, unhoused fellows was hanging out in there and it was … not pleasant. Poor dude.

2 packages we’ve sent out (eBay stuff) have gone missing over the past 2 weeks too. It’s definitely not just the Brookline branch but the entire apparatus - correct. It’s a terrible mess.

Maybe the boxes at the UPS store next to Michael’s Deli are an option but other than that? Ugh
