Saw it today. Its good. Not phenomenal, but worth seeing. As I sat in the theater, I wondered how many people had seen the predecessors. The woman next to me wept uncontrollably - I suppose that's an endorsement. It drags a bit. Theres no real incredible performance scenes.. a few that are very good. A more balanced look at the star being born and the fading star. More Cooper than Mason or Kristofferson by comparison; less GaGa-focused than Streisand-, Garland-, or even Gaynor-centric. Maybe thats a function of being producer (or producers' lover) Not fair to draw comparisons to predecessors, and I suppose I credit them with being different. Nonetheless, I'd like a few things in classic remakes to be iconic. Like the closing number to focus on the star who was born - I found the editing of the finale distracting.

Ive wondered something similar. Reportedly, perhaps its legend, not fact.... Vegas hotel hosts would arrange call girls and escorts for high rollers and "whales." Can't confirm that. But I do wonder... with every Vegas hotel having villas and private area desgned for those whales... do hosts still arrange companions? And are there exclusive high-end male4male companions? Or males for super-wealthy women?

Yes... but you ruined the suprise for anyone new to the series.

Good movie. One of my favorite authors and a series of novels that shaped my thinking. I often recommed them to younger folks - not easy to find, no longer in print, and, unless it happened recently, not on e*book. I'd encourage anyone to read them. Its 6 novels total, with great character development. And the way Drury handles the final two books remains one of my favorite author's devices of all time.

A few months ago, I wrote that I'd gone to my first live performance in over a decade, only to sit behind a tall man. Im 6'0.. but still, spent the majority of Book Of Mormon bobbing and weaving in my SF Orpheum 6th row orchestra seat to see the stage. Others here commented on many theaters having poor sight lines. Last night, I saw On Your Feet at the recently renovated Golden Gate Theater in SF. Running late, I barely made it... and then just before curtain, a relatively tall guy sat in front of me. Not that tall, maybe 6'2, but still his head blocked a significant portion of the stage from my 11th row center seat. So much that it distracted me and I wasn't enjoying the show. I literally didn't see several actions that occurred downstage center. Moved at intermission to 9th row seats I'd noticed as unoccupied. Wouldn't imagine it to be such a profound difference, but having full view with peripheral vision totally changed my experience, the feeling of involvement, etc. Thoroughly enjoyed second half. I've been scoring amazing seats for SF shows - so far, all center orchestra rows 5-11. After years of non-attendance, I've been to four shows in recent months, and plan to see more. But wondering... maybe orchestra seats aren't necessarily best. I like being close, choose closer seats in movie theaters too. Helps me feel involved in the performance. But maybe go for mezzanine or balcony seats, to avoid poor sightlines? What are preferences of other theater goers? Disregarding ticket-cost, what are preferred seating choices?

Isn't a full time position work? Sounds like changing work to me, not stopping work.

Do I pay attention? Yes. Do I have hard and fast rules as to what I consume? No. I prefer the taste of some wild caught fish. But I won't rule out all farm-raised... not all farms are wicked. And we're going to need to keep up a demand for responsibly farmed fish, or it wont be there, and the oceans will be fished-out. There are also some perfectly acceptable farmed or man-assisted species.

Ignoring does not ignore comprehensively, or universally. You will NOT see threads they started when you're within a forum. You will NOT see their comments/additions within a thread. You WILL, however, see notification of activity within threads they started on the home page/preview. Additions to hypothetical "ignoredGUY's" posts will be announced if it's the "Latest" for any Forum on the home page, and additions to ignoredGUY's posts will be listed/linked if its the latest addition to any of the new posts promoted on the homepage. It can be a little confusing/misleading. You can click the link on the home page and go directly into one of the Latest threads, even if it was started by ignoredGUY. But if you enter the specific forum, the very same thread started by ignoredGUY won't appear in the forum's list of threads.

Posted in other threads: This year in Las Vegas, three times Spring through Summer. Grindr, and to lesser extent Scruff, lots o' Rentguys. So much so that, in September, I was cross-referencing Grindr guys seeking gen or dad with RM. Many guys seem to be cross-advertising between the platforms. I dont bother with the apps back home in suburbia... not for rentguys, not for hookups, not for meets or chats.

C'MON! It's on the internet. You must accept it as absolute fact.

Odd. Im not endorsing him, but he seemed very friendly and interested in good service with me.

Just for perspective... locals were telling me that, due to backlash, parking fees are starting to disappear. In May, I received an offer for free nights at Wynn. While booking, they told me that, starting in July, parking would once again be complimentary....for hotel guests. My LV family tell me other hotels scaling back paid parking policies too. I just returned from three nights at Wynn. Valet parking was free. Resort fees were waived. Waived, not comp'd. No resort fee, you pay to connect to wifi in your room. $20 per day, per device. You pay to use the fitness center. I chose to pay the resort fee.. it was cheaper in the long run. But someone who needs no wifi and wont use the fitness center could save money if the offer includes waived resort fees. They get you one way or another... but at least there's an option to avoid paying for unused amenities. For perspective, I am not much of a player. I earned less than $15 in free play over 3 days at Wynn - that should provide some perspective on my level of play for those who understand the players' clubs. Yet I arrived home to find two different mailers for free suites at Venetian (I'd only walked through there once when they mailed them,) and emails from MGM about free nights at any property ... select dates through the end of the year. I don't share this to boast, but as info.... they must really be hurting to send all of these offers to an inconsequential player like me. I understand they're giving away unsold room inventory... I guess they've calculated that the chance for any incremental revenue .... shows, meals, etc... is worth it. I know that some of my offers originated by Vegas properties buying lists from CA casinos. They manage some tribal properties. I wonder if they target California due to abundance of local casinos, and the understanding its inexpensive and easy for us to drive/fly to LV. The point... look around. There are deals to be had.

Anyone know what it means when someone texting or messaging via app (like Grindr) sends a symbol that looks like a pause button? Something like [][] Or even I know it resembles a pause button... but dont quite understand in that context. Is it a symbolic way of saying "not interested?" Or that the user is stepping away from phone - pausing? Or???.

Got home from Vegas last night. No recommendations. I totally struck out. I dont use it at home... but I load Grindr and Scruff when I go to LV. And I can advise you that rentguy/masseur activity on the apps is increasing. I got alot of messages when visiting in April, more in May and made a connection. This time, way more, and found that Grindr guys usually had RM ads.... theyre "cross-promoting" themselves. Still, I was unable connect in LV... as my BS detector kept triggering. I can report that https://rentmen.eu/CaliTexTwink was friendly and responsive to questions. He contacted me on Grindr, and I later found him on RM. Says hes LMT. But we started chatting late, it was past midnight, I was tired, and in a foul mood due to casino losses. I told him "maybe tomorrow morning", and he did follow up. But by that time, I was focused on packing, checking out, and leaving town, so I declined. Nonetheless, I share the info if only because he was one of the few guys who didn't act like a pushy jerk. He said hes new to the biz. I think he changes his RM moniker often. Hes one of the few Platinum advertisers... 6'0, slender, showing off a big dick. Candidly, not really my physical type, but I was tempted based solely on his being polite and friendly. If you find a good provider, hope to see a review. I go to LV fairly often.

So... I was chatting with Damo in Las Vegas on an app. I ask alot of questions in advance. I know it can frustrate rentguys... Im willing to lose out on some good ones to weed out the bad ones. I was just getting ready to type YES when Damo sent: My profile make it clear what I do U read it U are Not buying a house or a car. Normal people they make appointment Anyway. U sound. Creepy take care dude. Ill acknowledge I ask alot of detailed questions. Even understand if a guy says "never mind..." and moves on. But given that he went to hostile and name-calling.... Im pretty sure I dodged a bullet.
