I've seen gas for $6, but never $5 cans of code, unless it's a 12-pack or something.
I have only ever seen gas for $6 when I was in California in 2023. I
had never seen it break $4 here in Kentucky until within the past 6
weeks, although it got real close c2023.
I have seen $10-11 12-pack soft drinks here. That has been the going
rate at Kroger now for at least 2 years. :( At Walmart they've been
$7-8 per 12-pack for a while, unless you are buying the house brand.

use walgreens, dollar general and amazon for deals.
Walmart is usually the best source here. Dollar General may have some things that are lower priced but won't carry many of the other things I would be looking for during a grocery run.

Yes, just past the concessions stands. They're banking on people
getting impatient of the concessions service, or wanting to run out
quickly during the movie.
As for missing the movie, with reserved seating and 20+ minutes
of trailers, I don't see that as much of an issue.
MAGA loves to point out gas at a little gas station in Big Sur, along
the California coast. It's a little station dozens of miles away from
any other station. They intentionally price the gas higher to incent
Seeing a 12-pack of Diet Coke over $10 (when I could find it) cured
me of my soda addiction. Don't know what's going on, but I'd look
at my local grocery stores, and they'd have lots of Coke, Cherry
coke, Vanilla Coke, caffeine free coke, and an empty space where all
of the Diet Coke used to be.

Amazon is only better than local when it is something I cannot get
here, or if I have big enough of an order to get free shipping.
Otherwise it is a wash.

people to get gas before they need it along the coast as they don't
have small tanks and 2 pumps.
The rest of California is usually 2 bucks cheaper.

Most of those places are always higher, although it has been so long
since I have ordered anything at any of those places I wouldn't
know if $5 is an increase over their normal rate or not.

Casinos have free soda.
You can make your own low tech one pretty easy; it's all the same concept. You just need to get the correct gravel and minerals in the correct order. Probably just gravity feed your water source into it and it comes out
the base.
well the john wick movies had very little substance and story telling.
i think that type of movie would work fine as a ai movie. but they had keanu as the draw. you cant just put anybody into a movie like that.

It sounds like a fun project. I can probably recycle an old swimming
pool filter for such a thing.

John Wick movies worked because they were a deliberate cheesy
callback to action movies from a couple of decades ago, of the sort
they don't often make these days. At least the first ones were.
My opinion is they worked mostly because they pandered to
subconscious nostalgia.
The movies themselves were just "Hero kills bad guys non stop"
movies, which works for me because most of the fighting was well done
and they tried for it to be varied. I don't think the plot and
wordlbuilding is award material, though.

I appreciated the callback in a sequel when Halle Berry's character kills everyone in the room. John Wick questions the overreaction, and she says "They killed my dog!"
John Wick says "I get it..."

One of my favorite lines of dialogue in the John Wick movies was I
think in the 2nd movie, where one of the mob bosses was telling someone
"I can assure you that the stories you hear about this man, if nothing else, have been watered down."
