Very disappointed with the new ordering system being QR-code using your phone only. It makes my Alamo experience worse and only encourages people to use their phones in the theater ("I'm just using it to order"). I had to put in my credit card info to order free water!!

Someone asked me why I don’t watch the Kardashians. I responded that some very wise men named Bel Biv Devoe once told me, “never trust a big butt and a smile.”

One of my favorite memories as a teenager was discovering just how amazing it felt to receive a good, serious backscratch from another human being. Game-changer for an introvert like myself.
Watching New Saga on Crunchyroll, and this is some pretty damn good anime. However... what is up with the smooth jazz background music?

There's this song reviewer called Scru Face Is Lit on youtube. Something he said stuck with me (paraphrasing):
There's four levels of song lyrics.
Lyric: Just the words, not memorable.
Bar: Memorable lyrics you can sing along with.
Quotable: You can quote the song
Tattoo: You put it on your body

As a K-pop Demon Hunters fanboy, I thought I was basically done with "Golden," since I've heard it so many times. However, that Oscars performance? That's NEXT LEVEL. Amazing performance, unforgettable, I can only imagine what it was like to be there.

Lorebeards & Roleplaying discusses the influence of RPGs on modern popular culture. There's so much out there in the world that has the fingerprints of tabletop RPGs, including our language, our entertainment, and even our science.

I'm just going to come out and say it. Sinners got robbed at the Oscars, and deserved best picture and best director, hands down. Yes, I saw Sinners AND One Battle After Another. One Battle is a fine film, but it is not as defining of an era, of a time, as Sinners.
I am a bona-fide fanatic for K-pop Demon Hunters. Love the movie, love the music. I would say that I think Ahn Hyo-seop's vocal performance (not singing!) for Jinu really sells the whole thing. He's got amazing range and can really emote with his voice (amazing for a non-native english speaker!)
Anyone who knows me, knows I am an anime fan! However, I'm having trouble getting into Eminence in Shadow... I think I don't quite "get it" and this feels a bit like the show is making fun of isekai tropes (which is fine, but it may be going over my head).
TODAY!
Lorebeards 40k looks at a mysterious Ork "bikeboss" who just got his very first official miniature: WAZDAKKA GUTsMEK! Join us at 2pm MST as Ross and Alexis discuss who this ork character is and what's he's likely going to do on Armageddon!

Next time he brings it up, laugh at him and say "Oh, you believe in the MOON? You poor, naive soul."

I’ve been going to Alamo Drafthouse for ~15 years and I love the place… but the new phone‑only in‑seat ordering system is awful. Using my phone in the dark to order free water and type in payment info absolutely wrecks the experience. Bring back the card & pen option, please.
I’ve been an Alamo drafthouse fanatic for fifteen years. I have hats, I have t-shirts, I have bought tickets to over a hundred shows. The new ordering system is awful and I hate it.
our call of cthulhu game might lead to a delta green game and that's enough of an excuse for me to rewatch true detective season one
