My favorite Pixar film. A perfectly balanced examination of both the art and science of cooking (and just being creative) wrapped up in a weird little tale of a boy and his rat. There are so many moments in this that I absolutely adore.

I have an extreme soft-spot for art about artists finally getting to see just how appreciated they are (especially if they weren’t in their own time; see also “Vincent and the Doctor”), so I’m not gonna lie — Anton Ego trying Remy’s food and being instantly transported back to his provincial childhood comfort never…

This packaging does not work with natural peanut butter.

on the one hand, I’m all for the reduction in waste.

To his credit, he sounds more like an Irishman here than he sounds like an Egyptian-Japanese-Spaniard-Whatever The Hell He’s Supposed To Be in Highlander.

“I was reflecting, in the first place,” replied Dantes, “upon the enormous degree of intelligence and ability you must have employed to reach the high perfection to which you have attained. What would you not have accomplished if you had been free?”

That movie always makes me tear up. The ending scenes where he finds the note near the tree, and then his arrival at the Zehuatenejo beach. Suddenly there’s dust in the air, every time.

What’s up with video games and outrageous punishment for petty crimes? I shot a rusty pot in a derelict campsite in RDR2 and got slapped with a huge fine/bounty for vandalism.

Well, since there are 8 new streaming services each week desperate for content and nobody can film anything new, I’m pretty sure I can land 7 figures for “Dr Emilio Lizardo sits on the couch with his dog drinking whiskey and watching TV.”

Chips right out of the fryer are more awesome than out of the bag, though, although you’re right on the PITA factor. My vote would be for tater tots. They are mostly missing from my grocery store, and while decent french fries and hash browns are doable at home, I can’t imagine the hassle of getting tots right, and I…

I think potato chips are a good answer. I’ve made them at home a couple of times and they are great. But you have to break out the mandolin, get them into water to prevent browning, blotting them dry, and cleaning the fryer and you end up with chips that disappear in about 5 seconds no matter how many you make, and…

This article is all true. Yes, Sorkin definitely used the SN finale as a big middle finger to his corporate overlords, but neither the plot nor the finale really feel off because of that fact. The Sports Night (the show within the show) folks were always underdogs. They were third or fourth-rated among sports news…

I’ve always loved this one:

My favorite line on Sports Night:

Miller: “A younger filmmaker who has done very well called me before his first feature and said, ‘Any tips?’ I told him, ‘The day will come on the shoot when you think you’re completely crazy and what you’re doing makes no sense. Just keep going.’ When he finished that film, he told me, ‘Remember what you said?…
