7 years ago? Don’t remember that one, but I remember the one 12 years ago (damn, where does the time go?). My then-gf lived a year or so (in between apartments in Allston-Brighton) with her aunt in one suburb and commuted out to one of the western suburbs for work. We were supposed to spend the night at my place in…

Eggplant is still purple. The M8 is straight up maroon.

Allison: ...American cheese. You can miss me with your “it’s not really cheese!” bullshit. There is nothing better on a burger than processed yellow American.

Isn’t that the point of publishing film criticism?  I need to decide whether I’m going to blow ten bucks and two hours of my time on a movie - if I’m going to do that, it better be worth it.  I was on the fence as to whether this would be, now I’m not.  Mission accomplished.

Yeah, what the fuck? I have never once had a store-bought tomato sauce that was better than what I can whip up myself in half an hour (for probably cheaper). People complain about fast food burger tomatoes being flavorless and without merit, but that’s nothing compared to what happens to them in a jar of marinara…

This isn’t exactly a new idea - there’s a prison in Milan, Italy that runs a full-on honest to god fine dining restaurant - but I’m glad to see it spreading to the world’s most carceral state.*

You put me in mind of Stringer Bell, who is an innovative disruptor (insert other fucking Silicon Valley buzzwords here) and generally an extremely competent businessman. I kept rooting for him to learn the personal touch, loyalty, tradition/cultural aspects of his business.  Ah well.

Nice review! It’s not on the level of “Michael Bay Finally Made an Art Movie,” but a) very little is, and b) you hit a couple of similar points.  Well done, will not go see.

The pine nuts in the “nuts” section are cheaper (measured by weight) than the pine nuts in the Italian food aisle. And the Turkish tahini on the Middle Eastern food shelf of Store A is waaaaaaaaaay the fuck cheaper than the Greek tahini on the Greek food shelf of Store B (neither store carries the other brand at all,…

You’re, uh, not a cake person, then...

You're at 69 stars, so here's a manual +1

Fox’s low number of able-bodied viewers doesn’t particularly soothe my worst fears, here. There is, as we know, an extremely diverse right-wing media and agitprop ecosystem of which Fox News is simply a lion - powerful to be sure, and dubbed “king” for romantic, colonial, and bloodthirsty reasons - but ultimately just…

These were my absolute favorite when they first came out in the 1990s (I think), in their original, non-sweetened format.

The democrats hate Donald Trump more than they love our own country.

Generally not against people suing giant corporations, no.  Call me biased.  :-)

(whoosh)

Or Gatorade, right? It’s not the electrolytes, turns out, it is the acid that stops the cramping in its tracks. But electrolytes are indeed salts, not acids.
