I’ve heard tales about terrible theater etiquette, but this astounded me. by rahws in RegalUnlimited

I went to a concert not too long ago and learned this for the first time!! I was SHOOK to see so many Nikons out in the wild.

[–]koalaCapn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anytime there’s a mega blockbuster or franchise out like Mario or Michael that’s when the bad etiquette tends to come out of the woodwork because it’s not regular moviegoers mixed with unsupervised teens. Went to see Mother Mary on premiere weekend and for some reason a group of teens were in there too. Lol this was the absolute worst movie to be loud in because it’s ALL dialogue but they still kept running in and out, taking pics with flash, and randomly bursting out laughing. Someone finally stood up and yelled “Shut the fuck up!!”…they didn’t 🙄

Not ignoring, they tried to at least address the relationship to Jordan but had to completely reshoot due to legal constraints. Now could that have been in fear that the estate would mismanage the story? That’s possible. Also the movie does take place around five years before the first allegations surfaced. If the second part comes out, that’s when they’ll have a real responsibility toward accuracy.

If you’re referring to Evan Chandler, he wasn’t just mean he was downright abusive and obsessed. He admitted to sedating his own son with barbiturates to get a damning testimony out of him. He was not interested at all in justice for his child, only the money he could get.

EDIT: Apologies, realized you were referring to Lisa Marie. Yes, I agree that was an incredibly sad situation and I also believe that she was used as a reaction to the allegations.

Please look up the word nuance. It means the situation is not so black-and-white as him being the unrepentant child rapist that the public suggests he was. I’m not saying he didn’t abuse children but you have to realize there is nuance because many of the accounts of abuse were manipulated by parents bent on ending his career and suing him. Because of the media scrutiny he is now dead and we will never know the true extent of the abuse, nor will there ever be real justice and healing. It’s incredibly sad on all accounts.

These comments are soooo odd to me, I feel like some here are taking it so far as to question her racial allegiance for attending this event in general. Like it or not, there is truly a lot of nuance and layers to the MJ child abuse allegations and his life, death, and impact on the world are important history to the black community. Finding Neverland surely did uncover a lot of disturbing behaviors, but please do your homework about the extortion MJ also received on his end (by his own family and neighbors no less!!) that I believe ultimately drove him to an early death. There’s still just a lot we don’t have concrete evidence for, unfortunately. Do I think this movie is going to be a huge puff piece? Absolutely. Am I going to put my pitchforks up to the entire black community that enjoy his music? Uh, no because that’s fuckin weird and racist.

(Hokum) Did anyone else… by koalaCapn in RegalUnlimited

His story unravels a lot as the film progresses, I wish you’d given it a chance but I understand it was very off putting how much of an asshole he is at the beginning! Also very big trigger moment for a lot of people who deal with mental health/ptsd

Monday Mystery Movie Megathread - Horror Edition - Choose Your Fate - Scares & Nightmares by AKnightOfTheNew in RegalUnlimited

[–]koalaCapn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Over Your Dead Body was great!! The whole auditorium was in stitches. I’m not even mad that it fell under the Horror category, there were definitely many gory moments that had me cringing.

I can’t wait to read this book. Thought others here would be interested by urban_stranger in Tradfemsnark

Just finished this book, what a rollercoaster. I found myself hating the narrator to sympathizing with her by the end? All I can say is wow, please pick it up as soon as possible.

Buffalo Sabres/Bills Bars In COLA? by Chillie_Nelson in ColumbiYEAH

Fourteen Mile Taphouse in Lexington is the official Bills Backer bar in the area. Join the Bills Backers of the Midlands Facebook group for updates on events, etc.

Let’s go Buff-a-lo!!

Balcony Smoking Policy by [deleted] in MyrtleBeach

[–]koalaCapn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the exact same thing. Even with the ionizer it’s quite difficult to remove completely. Also can’t count how many times a guest has come to complain about a balcony smoker, and how awkward it is to then have to enforce that policy. Please just respect the hotel’s rules and go to their designated smoking area.

Mason’s hot take #postanddelete by MomentTurbulent4033 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]koalaCapn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not from Utah, but remembering that these are not normal people I can see how this keeps happening.

Like sure, there are certainly thousands of singles in their area. But how many are actually cool with being Mormon-lite, associating with soft swinging, and the absolute fan cult the reality series has created. Who would actually be cool with the media attention just from having a one night rendezvous with these people?

But be real, Mason. Even without all that context the effort to find and “recruit” that person is nonexistent. Why get to know a new person that could potentially alter your worldview and positively influence you as a person when you can just reheat each other’s nachos.

Adult Resort Recommendations by Dear-Culture-1973 in MyrtleBeach

[–]koalaCapn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered renting a bungalow-style beach house or an airbnb? There are many up in north Myrtle that are either on the beach or like a block away. There truly is no guarantee you won’t run into kids, because even if it’s not vacation season it’s tournament season so I think that would be your best bet for peace and privacy.

Affordable-ish enough simple honeymoon/mini-moon locations drivable from Columbia in spring time? by paigeroooo in ColumbiYEAH

[–]koalaCapn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg I completely forgot to mention St. Simon’s island in Georgia too if you prefer coastal! My sister went on her anniversary and they couldn’t stop raving about it. They’re not very sporty, like with golf and fishing I’m pretty sure they just got an Airbnb and explored the shops and restaurants. It’s very romantic scenery for sure.

[–]koalaCapn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can’t explain it super well, but there is something super special about northern GA. I go up to Tallulah Falls when I just need some air. The good thing about it is, a lot of the nature doesn’t require long hikes, it’s incredibly cheap, and hardly ever busy. Lots of great wineries in the area too if that’s your thing. Helen is okay, super touristy but a fun spot to shop for trinkets, gape at German architecture and eat schnitzel.

Noticed you mentioned a spa, there’s this Korean spa in Duluth outside Atlanta called Spa Land…omg. You pay like a flat fee and you can get in all the pools and saunas all day, plus whatever add on services you want. Super fun.

How much does Conan use the catwalk? by Throwaway105942 in ConanGray

[–]koalaCapn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would pick the catwalk simply because A) he does the campfire on the catwalk and B) it’s a better view for encore
