They're not dissimilar, but when used as a condiment lingonberries are usually stirred with sugar, making them sweeter without losing that sour/bitter edge. I don't think they're traditionally served with any other fish than fried herring though.

They look delicious when fresh, lovely shiny and fat fillets. And lingonberries with salty food (herring, meatballs, salisbury steak etc) is a Scandinavian thing, you see it in pretty much every lunch restaurant over here.

Somewhere within all this, there's a potentially awesome meta-story about Harrison Ford going back in time to murder all his old iconic characters.

Nope, day-old noodles with vegetables, tofu and coconut cream. Which I believe was made very clear in the post above.

There are indeed tons of variations, but when the chips are down you just can't beat the simplicity of herring pickled with red onions and black pepper, served with new potatoes and a bit of sour cream on the side. …and now I know what I'm having for lunch!

If you're patient enough to watch out for fish bones in every bite you take, herring is probably best prepared by being smeared in butter and dill, dipped in flour, folded over, fried, and then served with mashed potatoes and lingonberries.

I went to a superhero double feature:

That flashback to the pirate ship is still the best use of 3D technology put to screen, easily. The movie has lots of great touches like that but never really comes together as a whole, possibly because the villain is so weak.

Great comment to read in Freddy's voice!

Hot Fuzz also dabbles pretty heavily in parodying cozy pastoral British murder mysteries like Midsumer Murders, but I suppose those haven't hit it as big in the US as they have in Europe.

Yeah, but the other side of that coin is that they're trying to keep a modicum of dignity and not whore their stuff out to every grubby hand that wants a piece of it. I mean, your version is likely closer to the truth, but still.

That whole sequence felt like a bit of a cheat to me. Sure, the "how" of the transaction and Nikki's/Wrench's triumph weren't thematically important, but having what looked like a group of highly competent gunmen being taken out by a really obvious ambush felt pretty lazy.

Yes.

They got too cocky with the CGI as well, some of the stuff with an entirely computer animated Doc Ock look really rough. But yeah, apart from Logan and one or two of Nolan's Batman movies, it hasn't been bettered.

It doesn't help that every one with Roger Moore is pretty much a remake of one of three Connery ones.

Wait a minute, Bourne fights Paddy Considine in one of the sequels? I really have to get around to seeing them…

I've only seen the first half of Blackhat for various reasons, but I remember feeling baffled over the guy who directed the bank robbery in Heat staging such an incoherent, ugly and sloppily unrealistic gunfight as the one at Blackhat's midpoint.

There are probably more than a few Moore-heads who think it's dull and takes itself too seriously, but they're of course wrong.

Will Casino Royale get the 2006 nod? What was the competition like that year?

I'm certainly not above taking a dig at Zack Snyder, but that first sentence is a gross misrepresentation of what Red Son is about.
