cant believe it stayed open this long, have not been in years but when I lived over there these theaters were usually dirty, trash everywhere, the picture and sound were second rate and the movies were not first run, and stopped there briefly on the way to DVD a few weeks later.

But I guess it was cheap date night thing like you all are talking about and good for that

When did you lived there?  

Just wondering if i'm the asshole that stopped movies briefly.  I worked there when I was in high school and I was in charge of projection booth...  My ex would always come up upstairs and I had to feed film thru within like 20 seconds (cause all movies started about the same time) and she always bagged me...  I fuged up film from time to time...  If I put film just tiny bit sideways, it would get jammed and burned... I'd have to open machine,  cut 10-15 feet of burned film, reattach film together, feed back thru machine and restart it.  Good times.

no i meant the movies stopped to play there just before they went to DVD, I can't recall a reel not starting up on time there.

oh I started reels on time... It would jam 10 minutes into the movie sometimes... Customers were like "I want a refund on my 50 cents" lol

i remember we received a porn movie once and they told us it was R rated... We played a movie for the whole week before we realized it was a porn movie lol.

      so last night my daughter who is playing softball had a parents vs daughter softball scrimmage. i grew up playing baseball and played softball for most of my college and adult life up until about a decade ago. i didn't really have any reason to stop, but i also wasn't in any situations to play. i figured, "why not?" well, now i know "why not?". about 8 years ago i slipped at work and banged my head on the concrete floor. had a concussion that was pretty bad for a while, but that was a long time ago. the only lingering thing going on is that i have double vision, but i'm used to is. i've adjusted....or at least i thought i had. i played catcher (one of the positions i used to play a lot) and i got up to bat. both ended up being terrifying. apparently when you've got double vision, it also affects your depth perception. i couldn't see the ball coming. well i saw it, but i didn't know where it was. i got hit once and i thought, "ok. i'm done." i'm talking to my wife about it and she says, "well, you're probably never going to play softball again." that's a sad realization for some reason. well it was in the moment. then my thought was, "i really have to pee" and i was over it.  point of all that is, getting old is...... interesting.  thanks for letting me share.

      I'm guessing the league provided the contact information of all the prospects coming out this year. Once the teams have that list its probably available to all the top brass on the team. Each team has their own idea of who should have access to that information. I'm guessing the league will now set rules on who can have access to that information going forward.

      Mediocre is more of a best case scenario IMO. Going from one of, if not the worst defense in NFL history to middle of the pack? Maybe im not as high as others on our off-season additions, but i dont see that as being realistic. Would love to see it though.
