    As a Texan with a wife from Detroit, other than individual little pizzerias, Jets is gonna be the best Detroit style you’ll probably find.

    Gotta give it up for Buddy’s in Detroit though.

    Detroit really is a great place to get food though.

    My BIL, trying to get enough airline miles for something, once flew into Detroit just to eat, then flew back. He is enamored by aviation though, the type of person to go to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Then again, he gets into the centurion club free, so he can wait until the last minute to get to his gate, and get free food and alcohol so maybe he just misses most of the hassles of flying.


  • I’m not sure the flagging of viewer numbers for super heroes is indicative of people suddenly having better taste or any understanding of the finer points of cinema production.

    They’re just burnt out. A glass of water is great if you’re thirsty, but if you’re in the middle of one of the great lakes… Well, too much of a “good” thing. Not that super hero movies were ever good, but they were entertaining for their time. That time seems to have passed by the general public, and Hollywood can’t keep up. Then throw AI becoming a thing to the general public, combined with writers (and now actors) striking and you’ve got a recipe for drek.

    That being said, their collective bargaining is inspiring to a regard, and depressing in others.

    Unions and strikes work, from a historical point of view. They were just beaten out of Americans and now it seems only the elite and their porcine protectors have access to unions.


  • Honestly, this was already happening in my local music scene over a decade ago.

    It’s a large part of why I got out of the physical metal spaces…

    I don’t care if it’s swedish melodic gloom thrash death metal or whatever, I just wanted to mosh and have a good time.

    I can talk about music theory, and technical masterpieces, and all that. Something can be technically impressive and still sound like crap. People don’t seem to separate the skill involved from the actual music put out.

    That being said, I’m tool old to hop in the pit these days. Even if I didn’t get “hurt” I’d still be sore all over for a week lol.
