It’s not bad either, the vegetarian fish sauce. We use it and it’s fine. Feel free to sub that in and have a blast.

Also worth wondering whether the parents allow more from Morgan because otherwise they lose access to their grandkids. I have a relative with kids we all adore and there is definitely a thing where people treat her with kid gloves because she has the only grandkids in the family and she’s not afraid to restrict access…

Ah yes, the old Rice Krispie support trick, also known as “cheating.”

Am I the only one that found Your Name to be not that great? I thought the rules surrounding the switching confusing, the big reveal to come out of nowhere, the motivations of the characters unfulfilling, and the ending was unsatisfactory. The animation was great and there were some solid moments, but in a film that’s…

Look, as much as one can loathe Tucker Max (and I do), I’m not sure what the problem is here. I work in social justice, and if there is one thing I’ve learned as a white dude in social justice work, is that it is important for white men like me to use our privilege to make space for and amplify marginalized voices.

The Impossible Burger is legit amazing. It’s easily the closest thing on the market to actual beef. It’s very expensive though and every single time I’ve had it it has been woefully underseasoned, so add a good dose of salt to the patty before you dig in.

The Beyond Burger you can buy in high end grocery stores like…

Oh I agree. But I was responding to the commenter who specifically said “Just do this the authentic way.” You may prefer a different recipe, but you can’t call this one inauthentic.

Tofurkey is so goddamn good and it gets SUCH a bad rap because of the name. The company is full of really nice people and they are constantly innovating and trying new products out to provide more options to vegans. It’s a good company to support.

The recipe is from Marcella Hazan, Italian, and one of the foremost authorities on classic Italian cooking who ever lived. The only thing she does is authentic.

y tho. I have no need to learn the origins of Jareth. It is more interesting as an unknown, and to delve into those origins will make the worldbuilding smaller, not bigger.

I work in an education nonprofit (after school programs) and we get CPR training and we are told that if it’s a school age kid, go ahead and break a rib. CPR is administered to keep the heart moving in advance of the paramedics arriving. If you don’t give CPR, the chances of them dying is much higher. So logically a…

OK so here’s the thing:

I dunno, TNG had some horrific episodes (as did TOS, even DS9). This is definitely a mid-level TOS or TNG episode. It’s not “The Measure of a Man,” but it’s also not “Justice.” It’s “The Survivors” or “Miri” or something like that.

I think we are very much looking back at Trek with rose colored glasses. And I say this…

I didn’t think it was all that great. The rules of how they switched bodies and why and when didn’t make sense. The big reveal felt forced and a little too out of left field. The animation was lovely though. Maybe they’ll fix some of the issues with the remake and make the story tighter.

David Lynch was famously offered Return of the Jedi and said no:

Considering the makers of Hot Tub Time Machine and Harold and Kumar are behind this, I’m skeptical that it will maintain the tone.

I don’t think it’s unethical and the story is great, but it makes me sad that she’s been revealed. I wish she had stayed a mysterious legend forever.

When the kid at the end of “Hook” was all “That was a great game” I wondered if Rufio felt the same way since he was stabbed to death

You’d think the questioner who doesn’t want to think about stuff at the movies would have objected to The Dark Knight, or Civil War, or Winter Soldier even. I wonder why they chose Wonder Woman to single out as being too much substance. I wonder...we may never know the unique trait of the Wonder Woman film that makes…

I’m not sure I’d put him on the same level as Tressel, who knowingly and willingly lied to the NCAA. Granted it was about some lame autograph stuff, but Tressel just signed off on it, knowing what he knew, and actively covered it up. Stoops never did anything like that.
