The sound of a can opening is the cats’ calling in my place.
I am astonished you didn’t hack off maybe a quarter of it for yourself before destroying the rest. “Yeah, you want me to turn your portion into beef jerky, fine, but I’m going to enjoy mine.”
Just so we’re clear, most of this backlash is apparently from left-wing people unhappy that this actress isn’t woke enough for their standards.
Texture is so critical. For me, I am grossed out by most mushy or “slimy” foods. Chop some onion in my salad or on a burger, I’m fine. Finely dice it and have it in my tomato sauce, great. But caramelize them? Get those slimy mushy things away from me! I know I’m 100% wrong here, and that they probably taste…
First thing I tell my server at the diner, “the darker, the crispier the bacon you place in front of me, the bigger your tip”. Never works, they just don’t care. I usually have to send it back 2-3 times. If I can bend it I don’t want it.
I understand this so well. My father would always cook everything until well-done, and to this day I find any meat that’s not a little crunchy to be disgustingly undercooked. Except for steak: one day in my early 20s I went to a restaurant and ordered steak, well-done. The waiter asked me if I was sure, and if I’d…
Superman Returns had one cool scene where he catches the plane on the baseball field. The rest is crap.
Trump becoming President is up there with September 11th for me. I really felt like I had stumbled into some bad alternative history movie when I was driving home from work and heard them talking about how, with Hillary falling to a likely defeat in Pennsylvania and Michigan, Trump was expected to become the next…
Orange Dumbass has been prez for a year and a half and I still have trouble accepting it’s real. (“Sweet Jesus! Let me wake up!”) A pathologically lying, blatantly racist, pathetically ignorant would-be dictator who is undoubtedly guilty as shit of at least several impeachable crimes, and is also the more powerful…
Not “used to be called”, in general, but Radar Range was a brand of microwave.
In Airplane, someone is told to check the radar range, and they open a microwave, check the chicken, and reply two more minutes, chief. I always thought it was hilarious, but it is was not till recently that I learned a microwave used to be called a radar range.
Raimi FOUGHT for Tobey McGuire. The studio wanted a “big name” like Leonard DiCaprio. Raimi argued “Spider Man is the big name.”
Simmons should be like the James Bond’s M of the Spider-Man movies: he just stays in them, through reboots and recastings, no matter what.
I think that and when Flint Mako first realizes he’s composed of living sand are two of the best scenes in SM3. I like it when films can use minimal to no dialogue in a scene and just let the characters movements and body expressions tell the story.
I think Maguire’s awkwardness works pretty well. He’s bland, but he works. As opposed to Andrew Garfield, who, ignoring that he’s this handsome guy with perfect hair that broods like a model yet is considered the dork, man, he was just awful as Spiderman. Not as Peter Parker, but as Spiderman. That scene of him…
No. It was always that fucking ceramic dog that literally everyone had to buy b/c it was the only thing they had enough money left for. That fucking ceramic dog! Who the hell would buy such a thing out in the real world?! They must have made a million of them & then sold them all to the WOF producers b/c that’s the…
I wish I was around for the golden age of automats.
By and large, yes, if you do the withholding right and you don’t have investment income or losses. Psychology is weird, though—my father in law loves to over-withhold and get a big refund. You can explain to him that he’s basically giving the government a zero interest loan all day and he won’t care.
