  1. No serious damage. Beach got flooded for a day or two but it's back to normal. Tons of people everywhere.
  2. "The incident allegedly started when Frederick, who was having trouble streaming porn on a TV, woke the man up to ask for help. After the man fixed the TV issue, Frederick accused him of flirting with a guest who had been in their home earlier."

  3. This film could be 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and I still wouldn't want to see it. Not all stories need to be told.
  4. Much better trailer than the last trailer.
  5. I'm guessing the documentary didn't want to explicitly say "they were dumbasses with half baked revenue ideas", but that's what they showed. Their ideas didn't add any value to the studios or movie theater chains.
  6. MoviePass, MovieCrash is an interesting documentary about the so-called founders of MoviePass and the real founders of MoviePass. The documentary digs into the "what the hell were they thinking" and "how did they spend $150 million in one year" questions.
  7. Taqueria Chapala at Nile & McArdle has damn good breakfast tacos. The bacon is excellent.
  8. For street food, we had good luck going to places with a crowd. Recommending seafood is tough because there are a million options. I'd recommend looking for places close to where you will be, instead of traveling long distances to the restaurant. Tokyo to Mt Fuji and back to Tokyo, assuming you are not climbing, is doable in one day. It'll be a long day but it's possible. You can also stop at Mt Fuji on the way to Kyoto/Osaka and then continue to Kyoto/Osaka. You won't have to backtrack with that plan. If you want to spend the night in the Mt Fuji area, I highly recommend staying at a hot springs inn (onsen) in the Hakone area. The area is beautiful (as you were told), the hot springs and inns are cool and it's a great detour. Seeing Mt Fuji is nice but the Hakone area was much more fun and enjoyable for us.
  9. Stopped at Xpress Burger by Annaville on the way into town and it's great. Bun was great, meat was great and overall flavor was excellent. It's inside a gas station with a few tables.
  10. Not too much time in Tokyo. Figure out what kind of experience you want in Tokyo. It's such as huge city with so much to see, you can do almost anything. Do you want museums and temples? Alley bars and street food? Catch your fish restaurants and parasite museum?
  11. Definitely a movie to see in the theater. The sound is important and the war scenes benefit from the theater experience.
  12. Very much enjoyed the first episode. I'm in.
  13. Fool Me Once is beyond terrible. It's the kind of show where every character has to make bone headed decisions every 5 mins. The show relies on everyone keeps secrets from each other. And all of twists are easy to figure out. Show would have been much better if it was just the grumpy detective and his gay sidekick solving crimes. An example of the stupidity:
