Title says it all pretty much. My girlfriend and I are seeing the 2pm showing of Hadestown at the Fisher Theater. Neither of us have been to Detroit before and it looks like there are a bunch of options to eat around there but i was wondering if anyone had any dinner options or recommendations for us that are kind of around that area.
We’re coming up from Toledo, so even if it’s a little drive south, that would be fine. Thank you!
I'm on my 5th trip to tell a guest how to use the home theater receiver. I have given them explicit printed instructions. I have label maker labels stuck all over the receiver. I replaced the receiver with (what I thought was) a more simple one. I've made friends pretend to be guests using it so I can figure out how they get it so jacked up. I GIVE UP.
I need a Fisher Price receiver. I don't care about quality, power, branding, surround decoders or MOSFET circuitry. It needs an on/off button, 4 inputs and a volume control AND THAT'S IT (even though one of my "repairs" was turning up the volume knob).
I'm looking at some older NAD stuff and think that might be the solution. But please PLEASE please let me know if you know of any make or model IDIOT PROOF receiver that exists!
More details on system:
Panasonic HD Projector
4 HDMI inputs (AppleTV, Blu-ray, Chromecast & Aux for people that want to plug in their xbox or laptop.)
5.1 speaker setup
Receiver: Potato wanted
Edit Final: OK people. I bought a Harmony remote with the hub. No one has said a negative word about them and I like the idea of tossing all the other remotes. I ran a spare wire to the projector when I installed it so I figure I can connect an IR emitter to control it from the hub. The blaster should reach everything else. If I had not already pulled all the speaker cable, mounted the surrounds (and bought 5.1 speakers) I definitely would have gone with a sound bar. Good to know next time or when I'm setting someone else up. Keep It Simple. Still amazed no one make a user friendly receiver..
I personally thought it was hilarious. On its own rights, it's a snarky comedy. Getting a bit irritated with everyone comparing it to Bridesmaids. If you watch it, other than the wedding element it's more Mean Girls meets Hangover. What do you think?
With Ray Fisher. I don't how it would happen after everything but after watching ZSJL again today, i just couldn't help but imagine the possibility of it.
It's amazing how thoughtfully the character was portrayed, even with all the power you know there is a lot of grief still bubbling inside. The ending gave us a small victory for him but that's just a start. It's never so binary, to overcome that amount of baggage. There is a lot to do. And that's what i really want to see to some extent in the future.
I hope the stars align for ray fisher to take on this character again.
Even if the snyderverse somehow gets restored, without Affleck, Cavill, and Fisher, I’m done. Im just happy we got the Snydercut, and that Zack made it so special for us. I will not be seeing the Flash in theaters, even though it’s afflecks last time, and more than likely cavill’s. I will pirate it and watch it, but I’m not expecting to like the movie at all. This isn’t to say if it’s good, maybe I’ll get more excited for the new movies. But, after what WB has done to us and these characters, pretty sure I’m just done. Looking forward to The Batman and what marvel is doing. Good luck, everybody.
Before I begin this deep dive I want to make one thing absolutely clear before we dig into these movies.
I don’t wanna get labeled as part of the “Fandom Menace.” I know there are a lot of people who hate these films on general principle and think that Rian Jonson and J.J Abrams are the absolute worst but I don’t want to be that. I’m gonna be as fair and balanced as I can with these movies.
I think it’s probably safe to say the Disney-era of Star Wars has been a mixed bag with a net positive outcome. We’ve got some fantastic new media, like Lost Stars, The Marvel comics, Rebels, The High Republic, Jedi Fallen Order, and of course the Mandalorian. So it’s not like nothing was gained from this new era.
But on the other hand… it’s no secret the movies have been suffering (and of course the video games of the Disney-era didn’t really have a good start either but that’s a whole other story). Disney clearly had plans to expand the Star Wars universe into an MCU-esque film franchise but after every single film has had some form of controversy surrounding it, Disney seems content to just wait a bit and focus on the books and TV shows before committing to more of them. Probably a wise call.
The Sequel Trilogy was meant to be the crown jewel of the new Star Wars era but instead, it’s become an incredibly divisive black mark. Everyone seems to have their own thing to say on it so I guess it’s my turn now that it’s been two years since Rise of Skywalker. I’m probably not gonna say much that hasn’t been said already but I still thought it’d be worth it to get my own personal perspective out there. I’m gonna do my best to be fair and balanced while also making my own opinion clear. If you disagree with me. Fine. I don’t wanna change your mind.
Force Awakens is the sequel film I have the least to say about mainly because I think it’s good. I think it’s a good solid start to the Sequel Trilogy. It’s not perfect, no movie is. But for what it’s worth, I’d say Abrams did a good job.
There are some cracks though. Namely, in the fact that as many people have commented, it’s basically a retread of A New Hope. Which would have been excusable as a way of saying, “Hey! We’re back!'' Except every sequel movie has been accused of rehashing the Original Trilogy in some way, so the similarities look a lot more damning than they did when first released.
I also admit on a personal level I got a major red flag when it was clear the Jedi order was not reformed in between 6 and 7.

Fade in - Open on - Physicians Lounge. Framed up on the vague reflection of Dr. Joel Fleischman, staring out of a window that marvelously looks out over the City. We pan right to reveal Dr. Drew Peters sitting across from him. Younger and really good looking.
Joel - Huh, yeah. No, I agree with you.
Drew - Agree with what? I was saying that Mel and I didn’t just spend the entire time on the beach. We found the best restaurant in all the Greek Isles based on a recommendation from Fisher, ya know, pediatrics? There is this guy.. the Chef there - you’d love him. Tall as a mountain, crazy looking, but genius. The Tomatokeftedes he served us absolutely melted on your tongue. Symphonic flavors..
Frank - [Sitting next to Drew, he looks over from reading the Times.] Did they have the Bougatsa? My grandmother made that when I was a kid. Best ever.
Drew - Frank, no disrespect to your grandmother, and she may have been the best in her day, but the Bougatsa this guy made was orgasmic. Chef said he grew the grape leaves himself for the Dolma. I’m not even kidding, it might have been the best meal of my life.
Joel - [Squints and smiles.] Okay, I’m curious. What was this Chef’s name? Did you get a picture? Capture a screenshot?
Frank - Yeah, Drew. Photos or it didn’t happen.
Drew - I know. I know. [Looking through his phone.] Joel, if you would just download instagram, you'd've already seen it by now.
Joel - Uh huh. No way. I’m not going to have my location tracked for every step I take or have my preferences digitized and then monetized to the benefit of everyone except myself. It’s creepy. I think Ned Ludd might have had the right idea, just the wrong era.
Drew - Oh, come off it, Joel. You don’t go anywhere.
Joel - Maybe, but I shouldn’t have to be bombarded by advertisements for armchairs, pet supplies, and pasta works. I can find my own way down the toothpaste aisle, thank you very much.
Frank - [Folds the newspaper to get to its middle as Drew hands Joel his Iphone.] You seem like a Colgate guy to me.
Joel - [Smiles at him and takes Drew’s phone. It is clearly Adam, gesturing semi-dramatically in his leaning sort of way to the table of food surrounded by seated people, including Dre
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
