1-2 rows down from back, aisle seats. Assigned seating is the greatest modern marvel of the American cinema.
That and recliner seats. Don't know how we ever lived without them.

Yep, as someone who knows nothing at all about this character or his world, I'm finding the show decently entertaining so far.
Still (hesitantly) on board with this. I did think episode 3 was deathly dull and kinda zoned out, but I actually enjoyed this week's episode. I'm a sucker for archaeological dig stuff in movies so enjoyed that stuff, and I'm intrigued by where the final 10 minutes is taking us. The Steven character is grating on me now though. I initially enjoyed him, maybe reveling in Oscar Isaac doing an actually convincing London accent with appropriate phrases thrown in ("oh my days") but yeah, the character is a bit tiresome now.

Back row has always been my preference, but I did have to sit in the middle row recently and it actually wasn't so bad. One of the advantages was that I was the furthest forward so didn't have to see random idiots taking out their phones during the movie.
I've been taking advantage of matinee shows lately since theatres fully opened and so there's usually only 10-15 people at most, and like you I don't really want anyone engaging with me, so it was annoying when I went to watch the Wes Anderson movie a few months ago. I was the only person in the theatre, sitting back row in the centre, when another guy comes in and sits in the row in front of me, about two seats to the right. It felt so awkward. Like seriously dude, we're both gonna sit alone in a theatre but far too close to each other for a comedic movie, letting out little chuckles for the next two hours? Thankfully after about 10 minutes of this, some other people started filing in and it then wasn't so bad. Almost as bad as the mythic urinal guys.

I don't really care for either guy, but that joyfulness is awesome.

Is there an equivalent NJPW legend still going for Sting to face off against?

Kay Lee Ray will be using the name Alba Fyre.
That one's probably her choice. Alba is the Scots Gaelic word for Scotland.

Apropos of nothing at all, but I didn't realise until today that they're named The Baddies Section because it's TBS.

Just because I watched The Hit last night, followed by watching him being interviewed on Parkinson, Terrence Stamp would be a great fit.

Everything Everywhere All At Once is getting rave reviews on Letterboxd, almost overwhelmingly 5 star reviews, but unfortunately it just didn't appeal to me all that much. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan both give excellent performances, it's very fun visually (some great costumes and set design) and I liked the overall story of wondering what other paths you may have taken in life and where they would have led you, but it's all let down in my opinion by relentlessly juvenile humour -
Spoilerdildoes, butt plugs, hot dog fingers, raccoons
all annoyed me. I suspect most people here will love it though, and it is a wild and crazy ride, but it just wasn't for me. I'll watch it again when it's available for streaming because I didn't hate it. I want to experience the love people are feeling for it.

That Shafir match was odd. I've never seen her before. Is she always so slow moving? I'm thinking the Cargill match could be a bit of a trainwreck unfortunately.

Can someone explain why they are trying to make Sonjay Dutt into some former ROH star. I would be shocked if Dutt had more than 4 matches ever. Hell based on this they should bring DLo Brown in too
Your point still stands but cagematch shows him having 27 matches in ROH.

I'd probably hang out on a couple of Aussie shows - Neighbours (for all the fine high school girls) or Pugwall (hanging out in a teen rock band with a very cute lead singer)
I'd be a teenager too, just so it's not weird.

Still debating on whether to pick up an album and a couple boxes for the World Cup. Collected as a kid obviously, and then got back into it for the past few World Cups with my son, but he's moved on from that kind of stuff now.
On one hand, it's a lot of nostalgic fun for me. On the other, it's a big waste of money. No interest in digital albums.
EDIT: Hmm, are people collecting football stickers now as rookie cards? Just had a quick look on ebay and there's an Erling Haaland sticker going for $150 with multiple bids - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/175226436684?hash=item28cc4f3c4c:g:C08AAOSw30liScl6 I never considered that to be a thing with football stickers. Always thought they were pretty much worthless.

The Voyeurs - The first 5-10 minutes of this are terrible, and the last 5-10 minutes are so full of plot holes you could drive a truck through them, but in between it's a weird movie that becomes increasingly effective over time. Of course, it helps that the film spends more and more of its time focusing on Sydney Sweeney's character, who is the only one in the movie who's particularly believable. Justice Smith, for example, is someone I can't take seriously, since he has the voice of an overmedicated bear trying to talk while sucking soup through a straw in the corner of his mouth. I just can't, dude; please never be in anything I have to watch ever again. I don't think I'd recommend this, but it has some genuinely creepy, paranoiac sorts of moments that build and build by the time you get to the middle and through the big plot twist, before the ending kind of screws up everything.
I thought this was perfectly fine when I watched it last year, even quite good at times, right up until [the major turning point re: Smith's character] and I thought "well, that's a bit OTT", and then all of the twisty stuff happened and I hated the fucking movie.
And yet... the movie has stuck in my head since then as a fun, cheap thriller type and I've actually been tempted to sit down with my wife to watch it just to see her reactions to it.

That Hardys match was sloppy as fuck, and I say that as someone who likes having the Hardys around.

Only the Kidman shot is legit, though not in relation at all to the Rock/Smith moment. The rest of those people weren't even there last night.

Put me down on the list of people who hated that Guevara segment and that was even before he insinuated that he spunked on the title belt. I honestly thought the two of them were heels all of a sudden at the beginning. Very smarmy and obnoxious characters.

I'm not sure why, but I've been watching the original Postman Pat episodes. Maybe because they're cute or they're just 15 minutes or it's fun to see pre-CGI stop motion. Or all of the above. Or it's the song.
It's the song. Still pops into my head every now and then. Pure pre-school nostalgia for me.

Regarding Last Airbender, being British and watching it with my children at the time, it does have an unfortunate title, which is then used over and over again to make the less mature of us crack up into coughing fits of laughter... 'he is a very talented bender' for example. Seriously, I think this review puts it far better than I ever could:

Another unfortunate movie title...

I can't for the life of me recall where I read this recently, and it might be bullshit, but apparently the first half of this split season takes place in the BCS timeline, and the second half takes place in the Gene timeline. Again, very well could be BS.
