Crumblin' Down Weekend Recap

Monday.   source And same to you all with a head nod and folded arms for perceived late 90's cool. Do you remember that old John Mellencamp song "when the walls... come tumbling down, when the walls, come crumblin tumblin'."  Sooo, remember a few weeks ago when I said it was raining in the house?  After 3 weeks of lame ass cheap attempts to caulk away a problem and some persistent emails and calls by the Mr last week, we finally got a call back about what was supposed to be a siding replacement.  I should also mention that just below that in our basement, we've had water seeping through our basement wall for 10 years.  The previous property management company's solution to that was waterproof paint.  You can tell 10 years later how well it's held up: Our witch neighbor has the water line in front of her place and we have always suspected a crack in the line from a tree she had right beside it.  She refused to let them come in to inspect her base...

Hump Day Poll: Let's All Go to the Movies

What could movie theaters do to improve the experience of going there?

My answer will tell you why I don't go to them anymore:

1)  Cell phone jammer.

2) One of those clear igloos so you don't have to hear or be near other people and watch your movie in peace.

3)  Duct tape ushers for the mouths of those who insist on talking the whole time or if you're seeing an old movie in the theater from saying out loud every line of dialogue until I have to give you the death stare so hard that you physically get up and move.  (It's happened and that's the last time we went pre-Covid.)

Hence a few of the reasons we rent.   Cheaper than bail.  😁

What could movie theaters do to improve the experience of going there for you?

  1. They need to enforce the no talking thing. I saw the last Star Wars movie in the theater and of course sat right next to someone who decided it was okay to talk even up to the opening credits. I was about to shut them up myself but the entire theater practically all made a collective shhhh sound and they got the hint real quick.

  2. I was at one theater in a different town that had reclining seats that were cushy like actual recliners. And the best part was that you could have your feet up, but the aisles were so wide that anyone could walk past you to get to their seat with no problem. That was the most comfortable I've ever been in a theater, and I wish the ones by me would do that kind of seating.

  3. The movie theatre I usually go to is about an hour away. They really don't need to fix anything. I can buy tickets online ahead of time, and they do reserved seating so I can pick the seats I want and not have to get there early and hope for the best. They have these great recliner seats that are super comfy. They also block off the seats immediately around you when you purchase tickets. I don't know if that will be permanent or if it's a covid thing, but it's nice. With people separated that way I don't really hear anyone talking or snacking if they are. I do have two theaters that are closer, but neither of them are as nice.
