Now, I love my old Trek, and I love the ‘60s aesthetic they’re trying to recreate, but does anyone else think they went a little hard on trying to recreate a vintage sitcom? At times, it felt like it wanted to turn into an episode of Bewitched.

Yeah, that’s something that got me too - it’s not a Flash movie. It’s a DC event movie. A bit like Captain America Civil War wasn’t really a Cap movie. But at least in that case, you had two full movie of Captain America beforehand, and he appeared in two group features. We’ve seen Flash only in one group feature.…

I wonder what it’s like to have a car run into your house, think “Yikes, could this day get any worse?” and then you have to meet Pete Davidson.

They really should have released turning red and Luca in theaters.

I’m still firmly in “probably not going to a theater ever again” territory... but I would happily buy (not rent, buy) both of these movies if they were available via VOD.

All the controversies aside the trailers make it look like one of those super hero movies where you need to have seen a dozen movies before hand to understand what is going on and no one wants to do homework to see a movie. I’m sure like you said they explain everything well enough that a guy like me who never saw…

I have no shame admiting I caught Flash on a pirate site. No way was I going to buy a theater ticket unless it was a home run flash point rather than a black adam.

The Flash isn’t bad, but it’s also really all over the place. It starts really badly, with a whiny main character and mean-spirited jokes, gets better, and then gets weird at the end. It became very clear to me early on that some bits of the movie were written very far apart in time from others.

The Snyderverse is dead, so The Flash is kind of a “why bother” event (and the film is a turnoff for anyone who know’s about Miller’s shenanigans). MCU has beat the multiverse stuff into the ground, so that appears tired too. And while Gen Xers like mysef may be interested in seeing Keaton behind the cowl again, it’s…

I would argue that the American diet will have to be more diverse to offset climate change, strain on one particular agricultural sector, over farming, and supply chain disruptions in the near future. The American diet is too rigid. The lack of any one ingredient (like eggs) shouldn’t send American palettes and the…

“Although my Instant Pot is currently gathering dust on top of my refrigerator” Same.

Maybe people are just scared of pressure cookers I am

The problem is instant pot was really just a pressure cooker. something that has existed for far longer outside the US it just never got popular here. once it did other makers came in with competitive pricing and features which all but killed any potential for instant to keep the market as a single product seller.

$1.19 at Aldi yesterday, no evidence of supply issues. 

Could they be thinking of diet tonic?

Well that’s a happy surprise! I like these, but only once in a while, nice that it’s a permanent option.

Some of those, I guess I kind of get, but what in the actual FUCK is diet water?!

It depends on where you’re staying, usually you can’t get delivery to room and have to meet the person in the lobby. Then you also can’t get cocktails and such delivered. That being said, the only times I ever ordered was when it was getting back to my room from a conference late and I can take a shower while they…

Yeah I’m acutally super happy that room service came back now that Covid is ‘over’. Usually I’ll order room service breakfast the night before when I’m all tanked so I can laugh at how much I ordered in the morning. I don’t use food delivery apps and I’m not sure the hotels I stay in would allow a delivery driver up…

With Thrawn coming back I’m assuming he will play Luuke
