Topic | How many of the 10 films to earn $1.5 Billion+ at the box office, have you seen? |
SparkMark1 09/21/22 2:19:41 PM #48 | All except Avatar. It is re-releasing this weekend but I have no real interest in seeing it. Even for free. |
Topic | Why do adults like Paw Patrol? |
SparkMark1 09/15/22 9:03:20 PM #14 | Keeps the kids entertained! Now Bluey, that's an entertaining show for everyone. |
Topic | Has anyone work a job all by yourself? (Due to severe understaffing) |
SparkMark1 09/05/22 3:28:53 AM #2 | I manage a movie theater. We participated in the $3 admission price on Saturday for National Cinema Day. We are normally very slow this time of year so you expect to be a bit understaffed with college kids leaving and high schoolers not being able to work as late. Well, add to that yesterday a couple not coming in and one quitting made for a hectic day. I've worked much busier days but the lack of staffing made it seem that much more than it was. Plus, they literally gave us less than a week before telling us about this day so no time to prepare really. |

SparkMark1 09/05/22 1:17:46 AM #5 | We got a good one for you today (before episode begins( |
Topic | Did you own a Sony PlayStation Portable and a Sony PlayStation Vita? |
SparkMark1 09/01/22 3:31:29 PM #12 | I have a Vita. Use it every so often. Even used it to play some PS4 games via the screen mirroring mode (or whatever it was called) |

Topic | Thousands of centipedes |
SparkMark1 08/28/22 3:32:40 AM #28 | This reminds me of a couple weeks at a summer camp in 1993 or 1994. Each day, our common area was covered in thousands of millipeeds. The custodian would come and sweep them up each day and the next day, thousands more. What's worse was it was our scuba diving week. We were supposed to put our gear each day in our rooms (far enough away where the millipeeds couldn't get). One day no one did (except me) and left it in the common area. Well, you can guess what happened overnight. Millipeeds all over and in our equipment. |
Topic | No Way Home....let's be honest *SPOILERS* |
SparkMark1 08/26/22 2:09:14 AM #18 | Yep. It's coming back next weekend. Although as someone who manages a theater, I'm not particularly looking forward to another 3 hour movie to keep me there until 2 am... |
Topic | It's SATURDAY August 20th, 2022 at 9:01 AM Eastern. |
SparkMark1 08/20/22 9:27:30 AM #11 | Daughter turns 2 today. I'm sure my wife has something planned. Cake will likely be involved. |
Topic | I haven't experienced a good storm all year. |
SparkMark1 08/15/22 11:13:23 AM #8 | We had a few good ones in succession on July 4th here in Northern Illinois. Was cool seeing fireworks on one part of the sky and rapid lightning on the other half. |
Topic | On a scale of 1-10 (10 being highest), how healthy do you eat? |
SparkMark1 08/12/22 3:25:17 AM #3 | Maybe a 6. I lost a lot of weight last year which I'm happy about, but focused mostly on calorie counting. I eat much better but I'm sure I could be a little more balanced in nutrients. |
Topic | The Orville season/series finale (spoilers aplenty) |
SparkMark1 08/04/22 2:20:01 AM #2 | All kidding aside, it was an enjoyable episode in many ways. |
Topic | What was the first RPG you played? |

Topic | Parenthood. Lol. |
SparkMark1 07/27/22 2:37:08 PM #4 | Prestoff posted... I knew what I signed up for when I got married and had our daughter. The first 3 months is always the worst because of the lack of sleep, but it gets easier as time goes on and the baby matures.Especially when you have multiple kids. I practically thrive on no sleep now after 3 kids and working a night job. |
Topic | my son walked today |
SparkMark1 07/24/22 11:03:32 PM #7 | It's crazy the progression each kid makes. My first two boys had the usual crawl for awhile then walk. My daughter took a little longer to crawl but I swear that only lasted a couple months before she took off walking. |
Topic | Men's public washrooms are fucking disgusting |
SparkMark1 07/24/22 11:00:36 PM #5 | Irony posted... Someone hasn't cleaned a women's restroom I manage a movie theater. Every location I've been at, the women's restroom has always been worse. |
Topic | Performance canceled after venue vandalized |
SparkMark1 07/23/22 4:43:27 PM #27 | I live minutes away from the bakery. With all the press releases lately from the LITH police department, I had a feeling it was inevitable that someone did something stupid. |
Topic | Arby's: 4 roast beef sandwiches for $10! |
SparkMark1 07/22/22 4:06:04 PM #9 | I still remember the Arby's Christmas commercial when I hear the 5 roast beef sandwiches line. |
Topic | Your favorite cereal? |
SparkMark1 07/16/22 3:44:38 AM #3 | Between those, I'd choose Cocoa Pebbles. My own choice would be plain ol' Cheerios or Chex or Crispix. |
Topic | Most iconic Seinfeld quotes? |
SparkMark1 07/12/22 6:54:56 PM #36 | Hello Jerry. Hello Newman. |
Topic | Did you guys do anything fun for 4th of July? >_> |
SparkMark1 07/05/22 12:13:03 PM #14 | Worked a morning shift at the theater. Pretty busy day. Went to bed early. Some pretty nasty and amazing storms came through overnight preventing people from lighting off fireworks all night! |
Topic | Have you had covid-19? |
SparkMark1 07/05/22 10:40:07 AM #14 | Yes. Moderate sore throat for a couple days but that was mostly it. Fully vaccinated helped. |

Topic | Are you going to go see Thor: Love and Thunder in theaters? |
SparkMark1 06/28/22 10:32:46 AM #20 | I'll likely do a 'quality screening ' the night before it releases. |
Topic | What natural disaster poses the greatest threat where you live? |
SparkMark1 06/26/22 4:40:05 PM #30 | Tornadoes. The infamous Plainfield, Illinois tornado occurred on my birthday in 1990. It was a crazy day. |
Topic | My mom is in the hospital with blood in her lungs post surgery |
SparkMark1 06/26/22 4:36:09 PM #25 | Hope it all goes well. I'm 3 weeks into recovery from an inguinal hernia surgery and that itself is enough I'd wanna deal with. I couldn't imagine adding something like that on top of it. Best od luck! |
Topic | Do you make use of calorie counts on restaurant menus? |
SparkMark1 06/26/22 2:12:20 PM #16 | NoxObscuras posted... Yes. It's been eye opening, as I never really cared about calorie counts before. But now that I'm losing weight, I look at the menus in shock. I went to dinner a few weeks ago and some of the menu items had over 2,000 calories when you count the soda. That one meal would put me over my daily calorie limit lol.Same. When I started my weight loss journey last year, calorie counting (along with exercise) was my biggest driving factor. Seeing calorie counts have definitely affected my meal choices. Now that I've completed my weight loss, I'll still be mindful of it but still use it to make better choices as well. Of course, I gotta treat myself occasionally. |

SparkMark1 06/21/22 3:49:10 PM #12 | Someone today bid $1 less than the person before. Lol. Although someone did this before and got it right. |
Topic | Has a celebrity's death ever made you cry? |
SparkMark1 06/14/22 2:11:12 AM #103 | Neil Peart probably hit me the hardest out of any celebrity death. |
Topic | Need Star Wars book reconmendations |
SparkMark1 06/13/22 3:56:25 AM #23 | I enjoyed the old Han Solo trilogy. How he ended up with Chewbacca, got the Falcon, the story behind why he was unsure Lando would be welcoming in ROTJ. Essentially his life leading directly into his first appearance in ANH. |
Topic | WBO: Jurassic World Dominion #1 with $143m |
SparkMark1 06/12/22 11:29:28 AM #7 | I had heard $180M forecast so definitely a little low per projections. |
Topic | Got Tattoos? Thinking of getting some ink done today |
SparkMark1 06/12/22 11:10:11 AM #19 | I've thought about getting the orange leukemia ribbon and my diagnosis date as a tattoo at some point. Something meaningful to me. |
Topic | How much do you dudes weigh? |
SparkMark1 06/12/22 4:21:14 AM #76 | About 165. I was 280 at the start of 2021. Goal was to lose 40 lbs by my 40th birthday (August). Lost close to 115 last year. Have maintained in the 160-165 range so far this year. |
Topic | Does it bother you when people drive fast In the parking lot? |
SparkMark1 06/10/22 11:51:39 PM #5 | Especially those that just zoom through the parking lot spaces to cut across the lot. Those are even more frightful I think. |
Topic | What is your greatest buyer's remorse for anything you've ever bought online? |
SparkMark1 06/10/22 11:37:51 PM #19 | The Estopolis I/II soundtrack off of Ebay way back when. |
Topic | Would you say it's fair to say to an employee, hey I let you go home early... |
SparkMark1 06/03/22 12:50:08 PM #9 | No. I manage a movie theater where the company whines about payroll when slow so we have to cut. On the other hand, they will tell us to add shows at the last minute, especially for Thursday night premiers that are busy. I've always been of the mindset of I cannot force staff to stay. I'll ask, plead, incentive it, but if they say no, I thank them and that's the end of it. It is what it is |
Topic | I've got TWO ingrown toenails right now |
SparkMark1 05/12/22 12:59:09 AM #23 | Had one many years ago. Accidentally banging it against something was the most piercing pain I've experienced. I filled a tub with the hottest water I could and soaked the foot, gritted the teeth and pulled. Thankfully no reoccurence. |
Topic | Best frozen pizza |
SparkMark1 05/03/22 11:51:39 PM #36 | Freschetta. They used to make a sauce stuffed crust pizza that was awesome. |
Topic | What discontinued snacks/beverages do you miss? |
SparkMark1 04/30/22 3:17:21 AM #102 | Twizzler Sourz. Yeah, there are an infinite number of sour licorice candies out there but these had the right amount of sourness and each bite size piece was flavorful and easy to chew. |
Topic | Most people here are over 30. What's the worst health problem you've had so far? |
SparkMark1 04/28/22 1:57:13 AM #103 | I had a childhood leukemia about 30 years ago. I'm having a hernia operation at the end of May. |
