Exactly. The remake (like most remakes) is just inferior in every way. I can only imagine that people who enjoy the remake have never seen the original.

Ladykillers just feels . . . off. It’s kind of funny and I enjoyed it more than once, but it really feels like it should be a funnier film than it is - like the comedic timing isn’t landing or something like that.

Odie-ous. Sadly, this kind of thing has become the new Nermal.

I’m not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and it seems like Warner has a good case.

There’s no way Scott Lang isn’t a huge Simpsons fan, and I predict very good odds of some sort of Kodos joke making its way into the movie.

Who did the MCU hire to play Kodos? 

And then Ross snapped one day, remembering his sniper training.

I remember watching Bill Alexander, back in the day

Yeah, again, whatever, just bring back the fuckin’ Bugs Bunny cartoons.

I watched Knute Rockne, All American once. It’s not a bad film, but I think it’s greatest contribution to world culture is this bit from a different movie:

Good for catching the lacto-fermentation bug! There are so many wonderful uses/preparations. Since you like the chili heat might I suggest getting your hands into homemade kimchi some time.

Both xanthan and guar gum are very useful in many home applications, as well as lecithin. None of them are scary “additives”.

From my experience some franchises do give an option depending on where the franchise is located. I’ve seen Taco Bells and KFCs with Coke products, but only in rural areas. I think this has to do with vendor availability in some areas. Most restaurants don’t buy their fountain drink syrup directly from Coke or Pepsi,…

If a server asks me “Is Pepsi OK” when I order a Coke, the answer is always no. I have a couple favorite hot dog stands that if the food wasn’t good I’d stop going because they serve Pepsi products, and if I’m going to ruin my health with sugar water, it had better be really good sugar water.

The dish around here that most often gets served with raspberry sauce is a Monte Cristo sandwich, so I thought I’d try our local Cheddar’s. Checking the menu online, though, reveals that instead of mozzarella sticks, they serve Wisconsin cheese bites (breaded curds of cheddar). Oh, well.

For me the explanation is that Sam’s Club is owned by Walmart, so that’s a non-starter for me.

Costco definitely has some unique things that it sells…but Sam’s Club is a decade ahead in technology. Every item they sell is listed on their website with, crucially, club availability. They have actual native mobile apps and not just a shell for web views. Scan and Go lets you scan with your phone as you shop in the…

I feel like the main reason one chooses one warehouse club over another has less to do with “yearly membership is $10 cheaper” or “hotdogs are cheaper” and more to do with “it’s closer to me” and “this one sells things the other one doesn’t.”

Man that sounds awesome.  Been considering fermenting my own hot sauce for a while - I make a bunch of “regular” hot sauce every now and again and this may push me over the top to finally buy some fermenting lids
