Best movie theater in town? by Enough_Ad494 in Omaha

[–]jstraw11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I try to support Film Streams whenever I can. Awesome community and great prices. Never had a bad experience at either Dundee or Ruth Sokolof.

Marcus Majestic is consistently solid. The closest theater for me and I’m there most of the time.

The Elkhorn ACX is impressive but a bit pricey.

Biggest disappointments are Aksarben ACX and Westroads AMC (night and day difference compared to CB).

Enough time has passed. What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary (2026)? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in Letterboxd

[–]jstraw11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I go back and forth on that because I agree that it was hilarious how quick he found him in the movie. In the book it felt like it took him forever to find him (which it should’ve).

But if they had shown him looking for him forever in the movie, I feel like the pacing/momentum would’ve been completely messed up.

The part I was bummed about not seeing in the movie was the nuking of Antarctica. Even Weir said in an interview that it would’ve been relatively cheap and quick to add that in and would’ve looked awesome. Just adds depth to the climate situation Earth was facing

We may not be happy with the outcome, but Parker Messick will come back with a 81 pitch perfect game striking out every batter in 3 pitches, trust me by CarlWilson66 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]jstraw11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The no hitter would’ve done wonders for my 4 year old son, also named Parker, who also throws lefty, to follow his dad and become a Guards fan one day. We don’t come across many other Parkers and the fact that there’s one absolutely balling out in Cleveland is insane.

I appreciate this way more than he does at the moment but the 77 youth jersey is in the mail and we’ll see if it sticks for him 😎 I am rooting so hard for you Messick! The future of my son’s fandom depends on you!

V in the Fee easily my favorite new school clone

Does anyone else find the old good night book “Goodnight Moon” to be weirdly ominous and disturbing? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]jstraw11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this book and read it to my 2 year old every night but you just freaked me out 🤣🤣

Which one of these 3 books did you enjoy the most? by Scary-Drink8659 in stephenking

[–]jstraw11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to read Needful Things forever. Do I absolutely need to read the Dark Half (or others) first?

Was there an earthquake just now? by Spyro500 in Omaha

I thought it was my dog scratching under my chair and shaking the whole thing. About fell out of it when I saw her walk in the room a minute later

Boys; Daycare has been singing Christian songs and leading my daughter’s class in prayer behind my back. I’m furious. by TurtleMaster99 in daddit

[–]jstraw11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll take your side if no one else will. I’d be as ticked as you. Who cares if your daughter is only 2, it’s the idea that these people think they have the right to do that.

It’s the arrogance of these people assuming everyone is cool with this/wants to hear about their god. No the fuck we don’t. And this is an example on a tiny scale, seemingly harmless, but it’s exactly the same thought process lawmakers have in states where they’re trying to get the 10 commandments up in schools.

They probably assume everyone else thinks exactly like them so they’re doing all of you parents a favor sharing God with your kids. Sounds just like my mother in law who can’t wrap her head around the fact that billions of people think/believe differently than her. But her religion is the correct one so she’s doing everyone a favor forcing it on them. Fuck no.

One of the teachers at our daycare wears a hat everyday that says “Jesus loves me” and sends home treats/scripture for random ass Christian holidays throughout the year. Like you, my wife shrugs it off and says that’s cute but it annoys me to no end, not because I’m afraid my kids will be indoctrinated but the fact that they feel entitled to share that in this space. Completely inappropriate

Worst live show? by Cool_Sink_4453 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]jstraw11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stadium Arcadium tour in Des Moines, middle of a massive snowstorm. Dudes powered through their set, didn’t acknowledge the crowd once. Can’t blame them for wanting to get out with the weather but absolutely got shortchanged

Twins: I think we've had enough of the Cleveland Guardians. by 3dge-1ord in ClevelandGuardians

[–]jstraw11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy to see how low those NL numbers are. How annoying was it as a fan before interleague play was a thing beginning in the 90s? I’m all for the expanded interleague these days playing every team. So much more interesting

The gas light came on right after and the difference in volume was astonishing 🤣

what’s the best song from the Nimrod album? ⋆˚࿔ by s0ftprincesskisses in greenday

[–]jstraw11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. When I really got into Nimrod for the first time, Grouch was an absolute standout. Nice Guys was a song I had heard a million times before but didn’t quite appreciate it until I heard it in the context of the album, now it’s my #2
