“At its core, Donnie Darko is a film that thinks it’s much more clever than it is, about a troubled high-schooler plagued by strange premonitions about the part he plays in the end of the world.”

It’s not a bad comparison, though FGF is a marginally better and more intelligent film.

“Cheese curds should be served at room temperature to optimize the sound.”

The 10:30am show on opening day was pretty desolate. I think my wife and I were two of maybe a dozen people in the entire gigantic IMAX theater.

My suspicion is that her performance was adjusted so she wouldn’t seem like some kind of unfeeling, uncaring robot-woman mother to people who didn’t know the story/character. I understand that in theory, but I think they took her legs out a bit too much.

While I think Ferguson gave a capable performance, I think she and the director let Jessica be a bit too... fragile, perhaps? At times she seems almost paralyzed by fear, which doesn’t feel right for the character. She’s supposed to be a badass Bene Gesserit with superhuman levels of discipline, complete command over…

We sat all the way through the Dune credits and there was no Samuel L. Jackson scene at the end.

He... *checks notes* has a penis.

That’s good, then. Most truffle (particularly white truffle) oil is pretty sad compared to the real thing. 

Ahem. You mean Blankenship Cummerbund.

Keep in mind there’s likely no real truffle of any sort in here. In order to make this at all affordable, the sauce is made with truffle oil, which once upon a time was olive oil infused with real truffles, but is now entirely synthetic.

I ate at the Mesa Grill in Vegas about a decade ago, when he was nearer the height of his popularity, and it was... not good. Not terrible, but for the prices it was surprisingly average if not mediocre Tex-Mex. I guess if blue corn tortillas and double the normal/necessary amount of sour cream makes a tostada platter…

I tend to agree with this article’s take - thought Paloma was delightful and fun - but then there’s this from the AV Club Review: “...fleeting checklist appearance by Craig’s Knives Out costar Ana De Armas as a second-tier Bond girl so obligatorily incorporated that she could be airlifted out of the movie with the…

So what’s going on in the headline image? Are Jonathan and Jay’s faces somehow being melded together by a devious new villain? For a moment I thought it was just them kissing, but that’s not what kissing looks like.

Good.

Head’s too small, not enough teeth.

This. The cocoa brings out some nice flavors you won’t often get outside of a good mole.

Speaking as someone raised in semi-rural Colorado, without much of an awareness or understanding (or exposure to) Jewish people or culture, I never knew or learned to recognize those ‘signs’ that someone might be Jewish until I was probably in my late 20's, early 30's.
