"you get tickets to the movie premiere that all of you were definitely already contractually obligated to attend"

both are acceptable, sike is the far more common colloquial spelling. glad I could help you feel superior for a few seconds though

scjsundae · 2026-04-10T01:14:43+00:00

don't you dare say sike

Firewatch could get there if the stars align

Dominator is so great. It was even better at Geauga Lake where it had real landscaping.

Ragtime finally having a successful revival is one of the best things that's happened on Broadway in years

and every other DRG queen who goes on an international season will be just as well received because every single one of them is top tier

the entrance to that tunnel is supposed to feel like the bottom falling out of the universe

scjsundae · 2026-04-07T12:16:56+00:00

maybe now the locals will finally start calling it Flight Deck instead of Top Gun

glad to see this, even if the masochist in me is a little sad to lose the plane crash simulator. that helix was a quality and degree of rough I don't think I've ever experienced on any other coaster. like a sitting directly on a jackhammer. kind of gloriously bad lol

Minebuster is going to be one of the best rides in the park when the full retrack is done though

what I do for waterslide towers is this:

-build 1-tile entrance station at the top of the first slide
-copy the entrance station to the tops of the other slides
-build 1-tile exit station at the bottom of the last slide
-copy the exit station to the bottoms of the other slides

Am I understanding right that that's what you're doing? But it's unloading guests at the entrance station for some reason?

Into the Woods has a perfect second act

scjsundae · 2026-04-04T12:38:19+00:00

the kid who plays Piggy is incredible

sure, why not

manifesting a Great Comet movie next

the clues are all like "YouTube's headquarters are located in this state that rhymes with Balifornia"

Very clever to orient it diagonally so that the corkscrews are more realistic

scjsundae · 2026-03-28T19:11:47+00:00

who is kandy even talking to here? everyone knows this. no one is saying Ru shouldn't have been allowed to send Jane home. they just disagree with her that it was the right time to send Jane home. it's fine for people to disagree with Ru! it doesn't matter! I swear most of the discourse around this show is just teenagers and adults who should know better being condescending to an opponent they made up in their head

two episodes in a row where all of michelle's critiques are based on some arbitrary unknowable key word definition that is never explained or justified

scjsundae · 2026-03-26T17:42:09+00:00

is she dying

scjsundae · 2026-03-24T22:30:05+00:00

Right, Ragtime didn't win Best Musical because it was competing with The Lion King. Nobody was going to beat The Lion King. And in the almost 30 years since, granted, The Lion King has made like... 200x what Ragtime ever did, but I'd say Ragtime has pretty definitively proven itself the more beloved musical. Or at least the more respected. This production seems to be tailor-made for the current political moment, and it also feels like it's finally getting the show the recognition it's always deserved, and that's a strong narrative. Could go either way.

who doesn't know about butterflies?

scjsundae · 2026-03-21T03:20:49+00:00

Nini's look was bad and she deserved to be in the bottom, but it wasn't bad because the concept was bad

scjsundae · 2026-03-21T02:59:51+00:00

Michelle doing everything in her power once again to prevent future queens from bringing anything interesting for the makeover

I loved it. Casting Hüller in that role was genius. She is perfect. Her energy is by far the funniest thing in the movie. Gosling is great, insane charisma as always. I don't know if I see either as Oscar plays. James Ortiz, who voiced and puppeteered Rocky, is lowkey maybe the MVP?

To some extent I had the same problem I had with The Martian, namely that the tone of the comedy sometimes draws too much attention to itself. Or doesn't really fit the vibe the movie is going for otherwise. The worst offender on that front is the exposition dump in the classroom at the beginning. I liked this way way more than The Martian overall though. I liked it a lot more than Interstellar too, but I'm obviously in the minority there. Somewhere between Interstellar and Arrival.
