Yeah, update your bookmark to use https, that should fix it.
AMC doesn't have real IMAX anyway... only the Minnesota Zoo does around here.
Besides, I already avoid AMC like the plague anyway... they are the McDonald's of the theater business.
"Want Popcorn? Here's an $8 bag... now go put butter on it your damn self!" So you end up with popcorn that has butter on top, but nowhere else.

For how much theaters rely on concessions for revenue they sure do a poor job service wise.
That's why I like Emagine Lakeville - they actually do a pretty good job with concessions. Their popcorn sizes are decent, they make sure when you get buttered popcorn that there is butter throughout etc. Loyalty members can also get a refillable 130oz pale that is free to refill once/day for 6 months. The pale has a 1 time charge of $15.
So basically, you pay $15 dollars for 6 months of free popcorn!
So with Moviepass, combined with my loyalty membership with Emagine, I totally have no problem spending $4 on a bottle of water, and on occasion buying candy or something else as well.

Indiana State Trooper Praised for Pulling Over Slow Driver
I don't think I've ever seen this enforced before. I wish this would happen more often.

No doubt! I read that last week and was like... why the hell doesn't that happen more often! Such a safety hazard to have those self-righteous people feeling the need to force others to go exactly the speed limit in the left lane.
"I'm sick of others speeding here, so I'll ride at the speed limit in the left lane to slow them down!"
Free flowing traffic is much more safe at any speed than traffic that is bottled up at the speed limit.
Why do you think the autobahn had very few crashes over the years with no speed limits? Because the slower traffic kept right.

Yeah my mom and her siblings had to force my grandma to stop driving a few years ago. For a then 86yr old small church lady she sure knew some interesting words from what I hear.My grandpa got pulled over for driving too slow once. He was FURIOUS.
I've always said I'm more afraid of someone driving on the freeway than a man with a gun. I can't tell you how many near accidents I get in every week because people forget how to drive.

Having a cold when I have three weeks of paid vacation from work sucks. Also, going to London tomorrow, so having a cold sucks even more.
Admins are working on it. It will get better soon.
Biggest issue with this state I swear is people and on-ramps. No one speeds up to the speed of traffic, they wait until they get off the on ramp and have merged to finally speed up. Coming from the East Coast, I probably look like the biggest D-bag to these people because I damn near run them off the road. It is infuriating. Right ahead of people who still have no concept of what the zipper effect is.
This. I internally swear at people all the time because no one understands this. You're slowing down traffic big time by hitting a highway at 50 mph. Speed up on the on ramp!!! It's not that difficult.
The gerbils that run some of the vehicles are going as fast as they can...
I know what the zipper effect is, "Something About Mary" taught me that.
And it makes it even worse in this state because of how they designed the interchanges in some of these places. smh....

Heck, I've seen a Prius get up to speed no problem on some of them. Meanwhile the idiot in the Lexus goes 45 until they hit 94 and THEN try to speed up to 60...frustrating lol.

It's literally one of the first things they taught me in driving school regarding freeways. Don't stop on the on ramp, and speed up to the flow of traffic. Simple. But most of the drivers around here learned to drive 40 years ago and so they've forgotten how.
You mean it's not a good idea to have every single on ramp in the cities merge into traffic?
I swear the people who designed the freeways around here were on serious crack. It's no wonder Minnesota was ranked 2nd behind California for worst drivers last year.
That ranking system validates my daily rage by not acknowledging Wisconsin as a state.

I've driven in some of the worst countries in the world. Legit. And this state makes me wanna punch a white board like Lebron lmao. Even Cali wasn't this bad. Miami got a pass too because of how many are not from the US there driving.
