Italian-American Food Gatekeepers are even worse. If your plate of noodles and red sauce isn’t made exactly like their grandmother did it (which was often probably out of can they bought at the Safeway), it can’t be “authentic Italian”.

I actually prefer hot dogs with toppings other than ketchup, but I can’t for the life of me imagine how anyone could object to others putting ketchup on one.  Chicago can’t even remotely claim credit for inventing hot dogs.

Leckeres Schnitzel auf Wiener Art, mit Spaetzle.

From what I read, it seems like her mother doctor shopped constantly.  As soon as someone starting doubting her stories, she stopped seeing them and went somewhere new, and there was always an excuse why the new doctor couldn’t get the old records.

I haven’t seen The Idol, and I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But one correlation I noticed as a teenager when I worked at a movie theater and then a video store. If the poster or the box art features a character looking upwards as they pull their shades down, the odds favor the movie being terrible.…

Maybe the lithium has kicked in.

The AVClub once called Lawrence of Arabia a white savior movie, so at least they’re consistent with misunderstanding movies they obviously have not seen.

Is it just me or could she really use some coaching to help improve her enunciation?

Maybe an apt metaphor would be the way you feel after eating too much sugary, unhealthy food. It doesn’t matter how decadent the food looks now, you feel sluggish, a little nauseous, and just don’t have the appetite anymore.

If we’re going to have intermissions, it would be cool also to bring back theater organists to play during this period.  Yeah, I know, not going to happen.

Is Blackadder’s Christmas Carol here?  Check.  OK, this list has legitimacy.  

The day that the old AVClub died for me was when one of the hackier writers described Lawrence of Arabia as a “grandpa white savior movie”.  Umm... did you actually watch that movie all the way through?

I thought his performance was also remarkably good in Sirens, but obviously, that’s not the chief reason we remember that film...

Anyone else think that photo looks like a nightmare scenario where a slightly older Matt Gaetz is the president?

How about a made up French-sounding word? Jeuxelerais? Moffelite? Sernovois?

It comes down to trying to manage “fresh” ingredients on a national supply chain. There’s too many potential points of failure that an individually owned restaurant or more restricted regional chain won’t face.

I was about to say it was Robert DeNiro purposefully gaining weight again for a role.

A lot of people who later became famous actors, musicians, producers and directors had actual combat experience. Jimmy Stewart was one of the very few who was already famous at the time.

She seems like more of a Schnitzel to me.

It’s like if Madonna just randomly decided to start dating Dennis Rodman and attending Bulls games in the 90's ... wait, did I just make that up or did that actually happen?
