Hopefully it’s 90 minutes of Slipknot climbing things.

Probably depends on the venue. But openers are usually only 5-15 min or so anyway, depending on how many and how the show is structured. Chappelle was disappointing, but not enough to ruin the rest of the show. I was happy to stay for Jon Mulaney’s set which was fantastic.

I have a couple of Aerogardens and I’m growing different herbs in one and tomatoes and cucumbers in the other. Never thought to try garlic. Might have to give it a try.

[DISCUSSION] What director(s) do you think have the best filmography?

I was checking out the new season of Fargo, which made me want to rewatch the 1996 movie and I got to thinking, the Coen Brothers have a fantastic filmography. They have way more hits than misses and they make some of the most interesting movies out there. No Country for Old Men is probably one of my favorites of all time. So...

I’m going to have to go back and watch more of Gilliam. I’ve only seen Monty Python, The Fisher King, and 12 Monkeys. Somehow I missed Fear and Loathing when I was younger and never got around to it. And I’ve heard great things about Brazil and his recent works.

[QUESTION] What is your favorite cut of steak and what's your go-to cooking method?

I tend to go for a NY strip 9/10 times when I’m buying steaks, unless there’s some good deal on something else. Or I’ll go to Costco and get a big roast and cut steaks out of it. I’m not super picky these days because I always sous vide and torch my steaks and they come out so nice no matter what the cut. Salt and pepper...

I prefer this over sous vide because the dry outside lends to better searing and there’s no plastic waste. With just salt and pepper, the flavour of the beef really comes through. I do beef roasts this way too.

I’m with you on the salt and pepper. Love when it’s just full of the beef flavor. And yeah, I wish there was another way that the plastic bags. Ever since I started using a searing torch, I just love the crispy, even crust it gives. I’ll still throw it in a hot cast iron every now and then, but the torch is great. Especially on weird shaped things like poultry. Gets the entire outside nice and crisp. Plus it’s just fun to use.

it’s a 30 year old movie

No way is True Lies 30 years old. It came out in 1994. That was only…oh no, I’m old…

That weird e-reader thing is one of the small touches I love about it. Among other things, it really gives the movie this out-of-time feeling. Which I think adds to the uneasiness of it as a whole.

How did this slip under my radar? I love Elijah Wood’s project choices the last decade. He takes chances and makes some weird stuff that I love. Thanks for the rec!

Oh wow, I knew about the lost footage, but not about the Titanic connection. Thanks!

I still rewatch Event Horizon like once a year. It really doesn’t hold up all that well, but it’s a classic that I loved as a kid. I wish Paul W.S. Anderson would do more like it instead of a million terrible movies starring his wife.

Smile was better than I was expecting. It wasn’t great, but a lot of cool, creepy imagery kept me interested.

And The Wailing is something every horror fan should see. It’s so good. Korean Horror is almost always worth a watch.

Jeez, this is the most downvoted post I’ve seen on Lemmy, lol. Congrats.

OPTION 3

Leave everything as it is. We will make no changes as far as merging/locking communities. All communities will continue to be managed as they are.

canthidium,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

We definitely don’t want the community to be overcome with memes and while we don’t want to disallow memes all together, we actively monitor the communities for proper content. We want these communities to be about actually discussing food/cooking and helping eachother out mostly but having fun and laughing is very much a part of enjoying food, IMO. So memes will be allowed, but if it gets out of hand, we will make sure to let everyone know and discuss where to go from there.

canthidium,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

This is something we have been discussing doing and I think it will help greatly with organization. Hopefully Lemmy integrates tagging at some point.

Yeah, Alton Brown taught me so much about cooking. I find that I learn so much more getting into the science of things. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is one of my favorites, especially when he was doing Food Lab. But he still explains a lot about why ingredients react the way they do and what makes good combinations.

Watched it earlier today. I will say first that I believe it could be a little tighter in the editing but it was so well paced and did not feel like 3.5 hours at all. As far as the rest, I enjoyed it immensely. Knowing nothing about the book or the tragic events beforehand, I was really expecting more violence and basically a war breaking out but it wasn’t that at all. The whole movie was a showcase in suspense with every moment never knowing who was safe. The score with it’s just constant drum and bass beats amplified the suspense so much. I wouldn’t say it was tense a la the border scene in Sicario, but there was this sense of dread the whole time.

The movie is beautiful. Rodrigo Prieto’s cinematography is fantastic here and it shows why Scorcese uses him so much. The whole film has this look of a colorized black and white photo. This subtle pastel look really made it have this kind of documentary feel to me. Like it was actual footage from the 1920s. Funny that Prieto also did Barbie as well. He’s having a hell of a year.

The story is very well told and the trauma Molly had to go through constantly is just so depressing. Lily Gladstone was so good especially because most of her scenes were her barely holding in all the emotions. Leo is great as always and this should be a record for the most frowning in one film. He was just constant stinkface. De Niro has one of his best performances ever in his long career. At 80, he doesn’t miss a beat.

I do love how there’s this kind of moral ambiguity about most of the characters actions. Or maybe more accurate to say theres a similarity to the concepts of ingorance and evil. I feel like Earnest is torn across this stupidity and complicity. He’s trying to do mostly right by his family but also seems very naive to the consequences of his actions. But ultimately it ends up in the same place.

I also loved the dichotomy between Whites and Indians, especially in the opening scene when Earnest gets off the train tells so much with no dialogue at all. So strange seeing the White men falling over themselves to help the Indians however they can to get a chance at their money.

Final thought, as a person with depression, I want to start calling it the “melancholy”. Sounds much more interesting to say I’m “melancholic”.
