And the audio is a huge step up as well

>The visuals on the last Avatar aged like milk.

Have you seen it recently at all? The release a month or two ago was visually fantastic

None of the AMCs are close to the Jordan's experience, especially the Reading theater. You get a larger, brighter picture with much better audio at the furniture store

> For as much money as it made, it has had zero cultural significance. It was an entirely forgettable movie.

But it looked amazing and was a great movie to see in the theaters, and people are likely expecting the same here. I'd say it absolutely meets that bar

> Avatar CGI hasn’t aged well

What? I watched the rerelease of the first one a couple months ago at Jordan's and it absolutely holds up. Especially with the 3D really creating a "window into the world" effect.

> Will watch when I can stream it.

You're going to be missing out. This is one of those movies that's massively better in theaters then streaming at home, even if you have a good setup

Anyways, to answer the original question the first weekend box office was ~$440m so a lot of people have been going to see it

Last Saturday at the Reading theater we got there two hours early, were still 20ish people back from the front of the line, and there were quite a few people behind us within 10 minutes. It might be a bit less busy next weekend but who knows

It was pretty straightforward but well executed. Better then the story in the first one but the visuals are definitely still a bigger draw

I just don't drink anything before I go to the movies these days. It'd be nice movies had an intermission once they hit that 3 hour mark, though

> I’ve never seen anyone come to a stop in MA or really go below 40 while merging, unless traffic is bad.

I get stuck behind someone merging on the highway at 30-35 almost every day it feels like

The Geico insurance adjuster I dealt with when my first car was totaled was a total ass who showed me very little respect and I got screwed on the value of the car. That being said, Geico was easy to deal with and let me extend the rental an extra week on their dime so that was pretty nice. I probably wouldn't have any complaints if I had had a different adjuster.

> Almost looks like a Mig - can a civilian conceivably own a mig??

There's a few available on Trade-A-Plane right now. Hell, the guy who founded Oracle even bought a MiG-29, although apparently the US government won't let him import it.

All rent control is going to do is make new construction of apartments less likely, which is the opposite of what you want when you're already incredibly supply constrained. You also have people incentivized to never leave their apartment (especially after being there a while), so anyone new to the area gets even more screwed.

> Rent control anyone?

Not a good policy, especially in the long run

So that's where Rutland Beerworks got the name...

> Personally I'd never buy a musk mobile because I prefer my car to not be a touch screen smartphone where I can't even open the glovebox without a touch screen.

Doesn't help that they're not particularly nice cars for the money, either

> Big store liquor is always cheaper than small store, but they will have a smaller variety to choose from

What? The big box stores are the ones with the best selection. Any of the Total Wines I've been to blow the packies out of the water

Never had issue running high quality all seasons on my Subaru. Depending on where you drive they'll be totally fine. Just make sure you get something actually rated to go on snow, e.g. Continental DWS06s

Just a heads up to anyone reading this, if you get a CEL you can generally go to an auto parts store (e.g. Autozone) and they'll read+clear the light for you

Low number plates as well
