Was there anything left? How much were tickets going for?
re: Latest FIFA Ticketing debacle

Yes I jumped on at 12:25 just to see what’s left and the queue hasn’t moved.
Scalpers have to be licking their chops which I suspect is what’s bogging down the system (which is a foreign concept in every country outside the US). Agree this is comically bad at this point.
Until we do something about the ticket monopolies going on and scalping becoming an occupation can’t see us hosting a World Cup again.

I feel like the guys who really want it don’t have the talent level of the guys who we clearly need to play. Lots of individual talent but just have no team cohesion or heart. It comes in spurts but can’t put a whole game together.
Living here the difference is the Mexicans will go into debt to see Mexico play while Americans aren’t paying the prices. Tickets for this game were $150-$200 on the secondary market and they will pay it. Same with soccer where us fans aren’t paying crazy $$$ to see the us play anything.
They made a mistake splitting book 1 into 2 seasons. I expect it to pick up the pace significantly for the next 2 seasons since each will basically be based on one book.
re: Ireland Travel experts- i need some advice on an Itinerary
Posted by jef443 on 1/26/26 at 8:36 pm to LemmyLives
Agree with all the posts. Dublin was the most “meh” place we went. Not bad just very touristy. Killarney, Kilkenny and cork we went to and loved them all. Kilkenny was the coolest little town. And as others have said the Irish are what makes it. Spent many hours in pubs just chatting with the locals who are happy to chat.
Driving can be terrifying and the roads are two way and the size of a sidewalk. So be prepared. We did the cliffs of Kerry because it’s a little less traveled and the tour busses are crazy in that area. Just amazing views.
It will be a great trip. One of my favorite places Ive visited.

Watched it on paramount. What a crazy ending. Wrexham had no business really winning that game but qpr fell apart after that red. Amazing they now in the top 6.

Thought it was a decent show but can understand why it failed. Was kind of a fringe audience they tailored to.
Disney + muppet show trailer
Posted by jef443 on 1/23/26 at 12:42 pm
I’m really excited for this and the trailer actually looks like it could be good.
Really hoping Disney doesn’t screw this up. I love the muppets. Some good one liners in the trailer.

I just thought of this when you said an advance party…
But they mentioned they would all be dead in 10 years by starving because they can’t kill anything. What if that’s the point? Kill an entire population without firing a gun and then take over the planet. Would be incredibly efficient if you aren’t in a hurry.

re: Hulu live f*cking sucks

I’m still trying to get used to it but YTTV is a much superior interface. Easier to find things and the algorithm it uses to know what you want to watch it nice.
Not being able to sort channels is frustrating and the “sports” tab is a joke for what it shows. I do hope they sort this out at some point and will likely switch back. Disney is not know for having the best IT folks and it shows here. Only positive is that I can actually watch the channels I want for now.

re: What happened to fun kid movies that were made to teach life lessons?
Posted by jef443 on 11/6/25 at 4:12 pm to StansberryRules
Think it has more to do with cost than anything else. Movies are now “events” rather than a weekly outing due to it being close to $100 to take a family of 4 to a movie over the weekend.
It pushed out the low to mid budget family movies and focus is on big budget kid movies since families are really only going to choose a couple a year to go to. Easier for families to wait for streaming than to spend that discretionary income on a movie. It’s a shame but just the world we live in.

I cancelled YouTube and got Hulu yesterday. Liked YouTube much better but not waiting for them to work this out.
I do find it amusing that somehow google is the hero on TD with this monopoly pissing contest. They both suck but at the end of the day I just want to be able to watch college football.

re: Anyone secure World Cup tickets for any of the states games?
Posted by jef443 on 10/9/25 at 9:20 pm to Girth Donor
Can’t justify $330 or $410 per ticket to a group stage game where you don’t know the pairing. They’ve watered down the group stage so it likely won’t be a desirable game and that’s a ton of money to go see two lower tiered teams, World Cup or not. Agree with the other post above I can’t see these prices holding once the pairings come out and if they do I just won’t go. Disappointing but it is what it is.
Because for some reason the national team continues to play in the NY/NJ area where every nationality outnumbers US fans. They need to reevaluate and find a home city where it actually feels like home instead of random places where it’s a de facto road game.
re: Billy Joel: And So It Goes (new documentary on HBO)

It was fantastic. Just finished it and agree with all the comments on the end dragging a bit. It overall was very well done and really enjoyed it.
Was surprised they really didn’t give any closure for the obvious drinking problems he had. 3 marriages ruined by basically drinking and then Elton John’s comments plus numerous car wrecks. Did he just stop drinking one day or how did he kick the problem? They really avoided that and maybe if was at his request to not go there?

I keep looking at prices and trying to figure out what I’m willing to pay. Really don’t want to sit in the uppers but lower sections are still pretty high.
Agree with the negative reviews. I watched it on a plane because I figured it couldn’t be that bad with the RT scores and how much money it made.
It was really bad CGI and just wasn’t a good story. I didn’t care at all about the characters like you do in the first one and the whole thing felt like a money grab. Was really disappointed and still wondering how it did so well at the box office.

Agree with everything said. Non book reader here but loved season 1. Season 2 was very good but some of the storylines dragged. Still looking forward to season three
Good detailed article detailing how Wrexham put it all together this year. Long read but very interesting.

Well they seem to have priced out the small fan base they had. Raising prices every year for a mediocre to bad product on the court doesn’t promote ticket sales. Not sure what other markets pricing is but they need to be on the low end until things get better.
