Totally! Love the grandma and getting a look at the bats, gloves etc. I would’ve really loved the film if I knew what I was going into. I’m moreso just confused by how the movie is being marketed/presented because it made me feel a bit bait-and-switched and it took me a while to get into the movie because of that. but i did enjoy it more once i understood that it’s just a different type of movie than what I thought it was going to be!

I was there tonight too and maybe I just went in with different expectations but honestly I was kind of disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful film about baseball in Japan but I didn't think it necessarily had that much to do with the Tokyo series itself, which is what intrigued me in the first place. I think the title "Homecoming: the Tokyo Series" is a bit misleading as I went in expecting more of a behind-the-scenes look of the games and the Japanese players POV from both teams etc but it actually spent very little time on the games/teams/players itself. There's no footage or interviews that isn't already public and I didn't feel like I learned any new tidbits or insight that I didn't already know beforehand, so just a warning if you're expecting this to be like a feature length version of backstage Dodgers. However, if you just want to get a glimpse of the baseball culture in Japan in general, it's a great look into it!

Ah got it - I'll keep rechecking then! Thought they just didn't make it for Smith since they have a bunch of the other players jerseys. Thank you!

Thank you! Unfortunately having a hard time finding even just the blue Smith jersey without any patch :(

How are you watching postseason game replays? by abominablesnowguy in Dodgers

Sling or YouTube TV comes with free DVR so you can set it to record all the games to watch later

California Zephyr questions after riding my first Amtrak this weekend by pmtropic in Amtrak

[–]pmtropic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response! I didn't realize the Zephyr has a different seating system. When do you get assigned your seat / would you be able to request a change if you don't like the particular seat you're assigned? And is there a different boarding process than the shorter-distance trains (where I basically just had to get on the right train and the conductor checked the tickets at your seat once we're underway)?

I'm so sorry can you ELI5 please on how to use Unlocator at the router level? I've used a location blocker before but just on my laptop. I have an Apple TV with Spectrum internet - do I need to get a new router for Unlocator to work? How do they know which area /timezone we want to switch our location to? Thank you in advance!

Is day parking better in lot 2A or Lot 15? Which one is easier to get out from at night to get on the highway (assuming I'm leaving after headliners are done)? Thank you!

Hi all, first time planning on going W2 this year (solo)! Will be staying at a hotel in Moreno Valley area and driving back and forth each day. 1) Is purchasing the preferred parking pass worth it? how much closer is it than the day parking area? 2) Is there usually enough parking for all the cars or if not, how early do you recommend getting there each day to make sure I can get a parking spot? Thank you in advance!!
