Reply to Saw the D&D movie today. It ended up being pretty okay, better than I'd expected. Not going to win an Oscar. but it was fun, scary at moments, engaging and definitely worth the time and money. If you're into that stuff at all, def a good to see. by circular_file

I saw it back in October at a test screening and been trying to hold back my excitement for months now. Every movie I saw since October was never as fun as D&D, maybe Avatar 2 was the exception, but still. Nothing has been as fun of a movie in theaters since then. It was just great to have a fun, lighthearted movie at the time (around halloween if I recall) with jokes and a fun story. Going in blind helped a LOT. I'd say most of the movie is the same, it was unfinished in the VFX department mostly. Lots of temp cgi and storyboard scenes. Stuff with the bird creature was mostly storyboards at times. The dragon was mostly done because I think that must have taken the most time to do. Little things here and there like smoke effects weren't done but most of the actual film story and editing were done I'd say. It was a complete edit of the film

We all thought we were going to see Shazam 2 and BOY am I glad it wasn't that film lol

I've watched Mom when it's been on at my dad's house and I just don't get it. These women talk about how many terrible things they've done, something happens where they may slip, and then go back to rehab at the end of the episode.

Maybe it was just me, I just couldn't find humor in a show about drug addiction and going to rehab. To me it's too serious and real. Maybe other's could, and the jokes were relatable and stuff, but it just felt so weird for me and out of left field. Especially when Badger from Breaking Bad is also on the show for a bit. It's such a strange show. And it had oscar actors in it too

I'm in a apartment. the best I got is slow cooking ribs in a thing for 8 hours, then I turn the broil setting on in my oven and do that for 5-10 min. It's the best I got right now with my living situation. I was just curious about locations because I hate the clean up and prep lol

Everyone forgets Red Dawn! Filmed right BETWEEN Cabin and Thor. I only remember it for this one scene where Josh Peck shoots a window out and jumps a whole story landing on the ground like nothing and keeps running but the rest was meh.

Still, Red Dawn was filmed also before Thor but came out AFTER Cabin in the Woods and Thor. Weird releases at the time

Let me just say, that whole area in Parsipanny is one amazing Asian food paradise. Let me explain with examples.

Literally Across the street from Qin Dynasty is V-Yan Hot Pot. One of the BEST hot pot places in the area since there aren't many.

Then, in that SAME plaza, is Noodle Wong which has amazing Dim Sum and Chinese food.

Want Hibachi/Sushi? NEXT DOOR to Qin Dynasty is Sakura Japan which has great food and atmosphere.

How about some authentic Pho/Vietnamese?! Remember that SAME plaza with Hotpot/Dim Sum? There's ALSO Pho Binh Duong

Need some snacks to take home after that great meal? Literally, again, in the same plaza is the Asian Supermarket, Top Quality Food Mart. Shoprite too if needed

You can get everything you want in that small radius of space. I work at Home Depot there and just am so satisfied with my local stuff. There's tons of authentic Indian/Middle Eastern food in the same area if interested
