10k hours of watching movies. I guess I’m an expert now. @letterboxd

Special thanks to @dvdnetflix for contributing 18 years to my movie watching.

Also I think it was appropriate reaching this milestone by watching a master of the medium with Scorsese’s KOTFM.

@Rnhmanthedude @jackcalifano If concerts weren’t selling out at $350, tickets wouldn’t be $350. It’s pretty easy math. I don’t know why people can’t understand this very very basic concept. I don’t want to pay that but there’s zero use in me complaining about it.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@jc_bradbury People need something to complain about that will never happen so they can keep complaining about it.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@CerealMidnight I just don’t care what children have to say about movies. Any “critic” under the age of 30 who hasn’t watched a breadth of movies can’t really properly critique a movie. This applies to every subject. Every generation is kind of stupid and uneducated until around 30.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@skullmandible “You’re not in your living room. Be quiet.” very loudly does the trick. I’ve been thanked by many cowards who just can’t say something many times. It happens when someone can’t shut up within 1 minute of the movie starting. I lost my give a fuck about others feelings around 2012.

@chilihotmetts Warren county (so barely not Cincy, but essentially still plenty of people coming to the city for events) has grown 21% since 2010.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@chilihotmetts And that’s just the city proper which is kind of small. Almost all the suburbs are either the same or up 5-10% since the last census. People are moving to the area plenty including just over the river in KY where they can’t build fast enough.

@BloggerTubbs @TwinsAlmanac It was the 6th inning. It was just an attempt to disrupt the rhythm of the pitcher to get something going. It’s not like it was the 9th inning.

@BecomingCritter @sivori @escapefrommelos Yes. As a collector of rare books, they have been skyrocketing. A $50 book in 2015 can easily be $500+ now which seems odd considering prices going up used to bring out more copies for sale which kept the prices stable. $1k+ books are going up at even steeper rates.

@BeardedKasper @Vol_Football I pondered seeing UGA play Kentucky a few years ago in KY. Kentucky was awful and UGA was like a 20+pt favorite (ended up close). “Cheap” tickets started around $250. Inexpensive tickets don’t seem to exist to anything anymore even when that game ended up not being a sellout.

@AGretz I simply don’t understand the inability of people to do simple planning & absolutely MUST get drunk & engorge on overpriced food at a stadium. I eat before I go to any game. The last 3 MLB games I’ve gone to in 2 different cities maybe cost me a grand total of $50.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@TigersJUK And you’re the guy who says coaches are useless. Lol.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@TigersJUK @peteknowsplays Literally every player on the field is making tons of adjustments for everything constantly at the MLB level. Coaches are a massive part of that prep. I’ve seen losing just a bench coach result in defense getting worse because they heavily worked with the players on nuances.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@macrurdn @2006Sable It’s an example. Good lord.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@Grinder2003 @TwinsAlmanac Many people in the know have said he was offered contracts in 21/22 and he refused them wanting more $. The grumpy playing all over the world for basic contracts (and being mediocre) has “I’m taking my ball
and going home energy” and now he hasn’t seen real hitters in 6 years.

@dilanesper You can put any name with a business credit card. I travel for business and have never shown ID to anyone that I can ever remember for any purpose.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@_KevinBuckley_ I’ve literally never paid more than $15 to go to any minor league game and that’s pushing it. Walk up to ticket box, ask for cheap ticket, go inside. I go to many games a year in several different states. What exactly are you people doing?

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@GLIAClegend @realcoreykno All but 9 team had attendance over 2 million last year, but ok. 7 had over 3 million. Cities over 3m you don’t even mention are Philadelphia and San Diego.

[Joe Bridges @JosephSBridges]

@jontweetssports When I was about 5 years old they started to arrest my mom for something and then realized she had me and my handicapped sister with her and dragging us all to the police station would be silly. The ticket ended up like $20. I had friends hauled to court over the dumbest stuff.
