Eve isn’t a holiday.

According to the city’s website, yes.

East Haven! Drive around town greens for any towns you happen to be in.

I won't even say that the original's plot was bad -- I've read much about it. Seems imaginative SciFi. And, probably, to people who saw the first one without knowledge of what the plot was, the awesome sense of surprise will be missing from the second one.

I'm just personally burned out a bit from Cameron's flat plotlines -- though I enjoyed them at the time.

But, who knows, I might change my mind after seeing Avatar 2. Probably, in retrospect, I would have gone to a theater in Sept to see the re-release of Avatar 1. Will never get that chance again to see if remastered on a big screen.

Apparently there are lots of dangling plot lines in Avatar 2 which are cleared up in the later sequels that have already been written, and that's bound to be frustrating.

Will it be less terrible than the original?

I may do this. I'll see it locally and, when I have to do a NYC run, I might drive, and take the train from there (I avoid driving into the city.) Would be interesting to compare the two versions.

Can't wait too long -- who knows how long movies stay in theaters now, and Avatar is getting the premier room in each of the multiplexes for now.

Depends on whether I can stand to see the plot a second time. I had no interest in seeing the first Avatar, including when it was re-released in Sept.

Two shuttles: GOAirport shuttle and RedDot are both daily van shuttles from NH to JFK. You can also take GO shuttle from grand central to JFK hourly.

That said. Overall interconnecting public transport between rail bus and plane around here is so sucky compared to Europe, for ex.

You can’t even take a shuttle plane from Tweed NH airport to the NY airports.

And Bradley Field in CT - what a joke, the train goes by it, not to it, so you have to catch a bus from Hartford train station.

Anyway, at least for JFk there are two shuttle companies from New Haven, proper that will take you all the way. It’s a miracle

To much old infrastructure. We are way overdue for upgrades and better interconnection

For a daily commute? Absolutely none of this is cheap enough for that.

The shuttle bus from grand central probably isn’t cheap enough for daily expense.

Anything train to shuttle bus or train to subway (cheapest) us going to be three hours each way - that’s six hours a day.

Rent a room in Ny for week nights? Come home on weekends?

Have you already flown out? Because there is a Newark Airport shuttle bus that runs from grand central

You go down to the office and u sit. If ur talking about pike or any other Similar. You refuse to leave til you talk to the guy who rents them out and you schedule and apt. And follow up constantly. Only way to get it done. And it may sound Karen but my living situation is worth the slight embarrassment. And they say they’re in a meeting, you sit and you will wait. A showing, u wait. Bc they will just dodge ur calls.

You can even team up with the other tenant/s. So like, for OP, if the other tenant’s toilet is messed up too, and the building’s pipes are clogged with roots or something, you can both pay the plumber out of your rent, but you have to do it correctly or you are screwed. This is partly why I think LCI would be a great guide in this, plus, well, this house just sounds like it is in dangerous condition and should be inspected by them in any case. When LCI comes out to inspect, after the inspection, ask them if any of the issues are ones the tenants can pay for out of their rent.

Right, and there are also procedures for paying for repairs out of rent if your landlord fails miserably to do them. Following the procedures makes all the difference for the tenant- you want them to have the poor standing, not you. Always follow the rules. Lots of guides online for CT landlord tenant law that are easy to understand and follow.

Yes, do it correctly- big difference in outcome for you

I am not sure just withholding rent is OK. I think you can deduct repairs from rent but not just refuse to pay. Double check the rules

Wow. So, there are procedures for paying for certain repairs and taking it out of the rent you owe. If you follow those procedures, you can’t be faulted under the law. That might get your toilet working but after reading all the details, I am deeply concerned that most of these repairs are whole house, and go beyond the scope of what a tenant could pull off. I hate to say it, but I think you have to call LCI.

After that, maybe they can help you decipher which repairs you can make out of rent and which are too big. For instance, can you repair the hole in the closet floor or is there a floor joist cracked underneath, rendering that a finger in the dike sort of thing?

Btw, I’m surprised you mentioned septic. New haven is on city sewer, not septic. They either have clogged pipes, or cracked pipe or roots clogging their pipes- they need to get their plumber in.

Those companies owned by Greer are a big mess right now. You may not be able to resolve this without LCI. I don’t know why city hasn’t moved to have the court receive rental payments for their properties already, to be honest.

I wouldn’t delay calling LCI either. You need to get it going

Little more background on Greer property obstacles. They may not respond to the usual saber rattling which is another reason for LCI. The family is in a financial crisis due to both legal bills from criminal defense for the Greer patriarch, and the huge civil settlement his victim, a former student, won in court. He himself went to jail. They have been trying to shield certain LLCs from providing for part of the legal settlement, apparently so they can live on it, maybe pay their legal bills with it, etc. All their income from their Yeshiva is gone. All his grown children left town. His ability to work and earn any income is gone. They will be leaning on these properties very hard as a source of income to stay afloat.

If the repairs needed exceed the combined rents of the building, the court should be made the receiver and manage the building.

Drats, Yale Art Gallery and the Yale British Art museum are both closed on Mondays

I second Willoughby’s. I’m a French roast addict and they’ve been my top choice for 20 years. They are super local but internationally recognized. Hey have a great variety and good bulk tea as well. They have regular or water process decaf and organic and not. They source their beans from all the great coffee regions in the world from farms they even seem to sometimes visit in person, and they don’t price gouge and aren’t “ precious,” just serious about coffee

Convenient to Hamden-a straight shot down Whitney Ave to their New Haven Church St(Whitney) location

What’s the commonality?

We will def hit the galleries. I’m a sucker for BAR, the mash pot pizza is my jam, got to get them there . I’ve been to New Haven so often but it’s weird showing someone around like a tourist

>North Haven Cinemark

I had no idea this theater chain reinvented itself to this degree.

I looked up their investor presentation to get more information:

I wonder if James Cameron is getting new people, like me, more interested in which theaters have upgraded their technology, and if so, which technology.

Here's where Cinemark describes the different theater styles they have:

it IS quite nice

>as I've seen on reddit some people saying it's pretty jarring when it switches between 48/24 FPS

I think it was jarring, and the switching of fps was distracting when I saw it.

I would go with the 24fps if I had to pick one. Avatar is "epic" enough for motion blur to work well.

For context, I own Gemini Man, Billy Lynn's Halftime walk, and I saw saw Hobbit in HFR....

Where TrueCut Motion comes into play are like long panning shots of a landscape, where the pan speed doesn't sync with the camera's fps, and you get judder. I am all for fixing that in post.

Make the trip to regal in Yonkers and see it in 4dx!

North Haven Cinemark isn’t IMAX but has better amenities

That's interesting. I just saw it yesterday in North Haven, was unbelievable. But I definitely felt like while the majority of the movie was in a higher frame rate, I noticed bits and pieces that didn't seem to be. I wouldn't say it was jarring, just noticeable, and certainly not more than a few scenes for 5-10 seconds at max.
