The final episode was outside the documentary filming. How are we seeing it?
It was bonus content for the DVDs. Either Dwight said this or someone off screen said it to Dwight.

Han Solo's fate in Force Awakens was ruined for me by trolls on Facebook who thought it was funny to post spoilers in random threads.
Same thing happened to me for Avengers Endgame and Rise of Skywalker. For Endgame, someone posted a screenshot of Hulk wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. For Rise of Skywalker, it was a screenshot of Rey igniting her yellow lightsaber.
These spoilers weren't that bad, but it still irked me, Rey's lightsaber more than the Engame's.
re: How many cars have you owned?
Posted by Red5LSU on 2/19/20 at 9:24 am
Technically, I've never owned a car outright because I haven't paid off the loan on the car. However, I have 'owned' 4 cars:
2007 Toyota Corolla
2012 Chevy Camaro
2016 Mazda 3
2012 Ford Focus
All cars purchased the same year as the car except the Ford. Traded in my Corolla for the Camaro when I got my first big boy job. Wanted to save some money, so I trade in my Camaro for the Mazda. Bought the Ford used because my wife needed a car after her old clunker broke down.

re: Disneyworld vs Universal
Posted by Red5LSU on 2/17/20 at 7:38 am
Disney is more geared for families with young children while Universal is geared for preteens to adults. However, people of all ages can have fun at both establishments, just depends on what you and your family are in to.
It's probably cheaper to go to Universal than Disney. Universal has non-Florida resident annual passes that are sometimes cheaper than multi-day tickets. However, the lower tiered passes have blackout dates, so check the dates before you purchase if you choose that route.

re: What movie locations have you been to?
Posted by Red5LSU on 2/6/20 at 7:01 am
In The Electric Mist was shot in New Iberia, LA, which is where I'm from, so I've been there.
Some scenes in Final Girls where shot in Baton Rouge near LSU at The Chimes
Pitch Perfect 1&2 also had some scenes shot at LSU.

re: at what point do you expect movies to at least follow logic?
Posted by Red5LSU on 2/6/20 at 6:56 am
Watch some of the fight scenes in Arrow. There are a dozen armed bad guys trying to take down Green Arrow and instead of shooting at him, they go in at him one at a time not firing their weapon.

re: For Disney Plus Subscribers: How Satisfied are you?
Posted by Red5LSU on 1/30/20 at 8:18 am
I mainly got it for the Mandalorian. Might drop it until the MCU shows and season 2 of the Mandalorian drop later this year. I like being able to watch any Star Wars movie or mostly any MCU movie, but those movies are shown on cable all the time, so dropping Disney+ seems like the right move for me.
Also, I dropped WWE Network to pick up Disney+. Now that it is Wrestlemania season, seems like a good time to switch back.

Really enjoyed the Rumble this year.
Sheamus vs Gable was great match, really got the crowd going.
Andrade vs Humberto was a little off pace, but a good match
Reigns vs Corbin was just a lot of fun and they really used the entire arena and the pin on top of the dugout was really cool.
Women's Rumble Match was good. Looking back on it, Charlotte winning was pretty obvious. She was champ the first year so she wasn't in it, second year, she was eliminated last, so this year was her year to win it. Just hate that they made Baszler look like a chump.
The Fiend vs Bryan was great, but the finish was a little flat. The chokeslam didn't really hit well, but other than that, really enjoyed it.
Bayley vs Evans was okay. Nothing too exciting. Their feud will probably continue.
Becky vs Asuka was great too. I really hope we don't get Becky vs Charlotte at Mania.
Men's Rumble match was great. Loved Lesnar clearing house for the first half and then getting eliminated by McIntyre with an assist from Ricochet. I knew Edge was rumored to be in the match, but it was still a great moment hearing his music hit and him spearing everyone in the ring. Really happy McIntyre won. I always forgot how tall he is and he was just towering over Lesnar.

re: How much can bad science in Sci-Fi break immersion?
Posted by Red5LSU on 1/20/20 at 3:27 pm
In Inception, they never really explain how the shared dreaming device work. You have to accept that shared dreaming is a thing and it works in order to enjoy the movie.
Also, this isn't from sci-fi, but this line from The Shawshank Redemption always irked me. "Five hundred yards. That's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile."

Thanks for your input. My brother said more or less the same thing, but it was good to get a second opinion.

Company still withdrew state taxes after moving to a different state
Posted by Red5LSU on 1/20/20 at 7:09 am
In late 2018, my wife and I moved from Louisiana to Tennessee. She works at PetSmart and was able to transfer to a store in Tennessee. However, her company didn't change her address, so they kept taking LA state taxes out of her paycheck. She got her W2 and for wages in LA it was around $8700 and $240 in taxes taken out. She didn't work in Louisiana in 2019 and we can prove that she didn't work in Louisiana because her paycheck stubs have the store number on it. So I was wondering what should we do when filing our taxes?

Steiner Math
"You know they say all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is NOT TRUE! See, normally if you go one-on-one with another wrestler you got a fifty/fifty chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak, and I'm not normal! So you got a 25 percent at best at beat me! And then you add Kurt Angle to the mix? You-the chances of winning drasticy go down. See, the 3-Way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 and a third chance of winning. But I! I got a 66 and two thirds chance of winning, cuz Kurt Angle KNOOOWS he can't beat me, and he's not even gonna try. So, Samoa Joe, you take your thirty three and a third chance minus my twenty five percent chance (if we was to go one on one) and you got an eight and a third chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75 perchance-chance of winnin' (if we was to go one on one), and then add 66 and two thirds…percents, I got a 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice! Señor Joe? The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice!"

re: What's the strangest job interview you've ever had?
Posted by Red5LSU on 1/10/20 at 10:27 am
Went on an interview a few years ago for a gunpowder facility. All they did was produce gunpowder. They were constantly inspecting and upgrading the facility, so they needed an on site structural engineer. The facility had about 4 or 5 department heads and I was interviewed by all of them separately. Everyone basically had the same interview questions, so by the third guy I was getting very annoyed. The interview took the whole day and by the end, I just wanted to get out of there. They paid for everything though; flight, hotel, rental car, and food.
re: 2020 is a busy production year for the MCU
Posted by Red5LSU on 1/10/20 at 7:31 am
With these types of movies, post productions is typically longer than the actual filming. While filming might be a month or two, post will be about 6 months. I know Falcon and the Winter Soldier premieres in August, so 6 months is a good metric for end of filming to premiere date.
re: Could you live off of $2300 a month after standard mortgage/utilities and car/insurance?
Posted by Red5LSU on 1/10/20 at 7:00 am
I'm right around $2500 after house and car bills, so I think $2300 is doable. Do you have any debt you pay on like credit cards or other loans? Also, factor in some savings as well for emergencies.
