volvoxvsmarla, to memes in Frozen birthday

As a kid I couldn’t eat that. I still have problems with this. I tried buying dino nuggets a while back and my spouse had to eat them in the end. Which is especially absurd considering that the animal shape throws me off of eating an actual animal. But I’ve worked my way through to be able to eat gummibears and sometimes even chocolate santas, but I have to eat them immediately and not let their headless carcass lie around. (Bunnies are worse.)

It’s not about the movie(s) in question, it is a general statement. Saying a movie is automatically good because the underlying story is good or worth telling is denouncing so many factors that play into making a movie a good movie. PatFussy was only pointing out that the cutting was terrible (I haven’t seen the movie itself so I cannot judge it) and too fast paced. This is something that can absolutely ruin an otherwise great movie and make it unbearable to watch. The story, the script, the dialogue, the acting, the effects, the cutting, the lighting, the sound and soundtrack- all these things (and many more) are individually important and only when everything works well together a movie can be good (doesn’t automatically mean it is a good movie). Is Oppenheimer a story worth being told? Probably. Most stories are. Has it been told in a well executed way? I don’t know, and also this is a highly personal matter of taste. If someone thinks the cutting is epileptic then that’s a valid opinion that has nothing to do with their intelligence, not understanding a movie, or having an unsophisticated taste in cinema.

As a side note, putting “West” Anderson in a category with Christopher Nolan is ridiculous. One makes arty, more indie movies with rather obscure storylines that rely heavily on the script and dialogue, while the other makes grand style blockbuster action movies. Except for both of them being famous and making movies, the difference could not be vaster.

It sounds like we could be friends. I agree with everything you said in both comments. Light roast pour over all the way.

Oh I feel you. I loved them too. The only reason why I had to switch (back when a physical keyboard was still kind of an option) was because I started to type in cyrillic too, and - especially as a newbie who isn’t familiar with the keyboard’s layout - a digital one was much easier to use. But I still hate that feeling of typing on my screen.

So to paraphrase, the raging person in the middle is right? I’ll take your answer no questions asked.

Tell that to my daughter watching that soviet cartoon about penguins I had as a video tape over and over again on youtube

Der Kaffee ist ganz gut, aber leider sind die verschiedenen Sorten der Rösterei eher ähnlich vom Geschmack. Und dein Deutsch ist gut verständlich! Ein weiteres Jahr würde aber auch nicht schaden ;)

This looks like a very enjoyable bean! Thanks for introducing me to Kuva, seems like a good brand. Unfortunately they only ship within the US, but I this makes sense - don’t want to get stale beans delivered overseas.

I’ve just moved to a new city and am trying out a local roaster’s bourbon and caturra from Guatemala .

I had a severe alcohol problem but I hid it quite well, high functioning (most of the time, the other time I was hiding behind things like depression, anxiety, burnouts,…). So I got so much alcohol and alcohol related gifts as presents always. Then I finally started to cut down on drinking until I eventually stopped. But since no one really knew why I did that, they continued with the gifts. Even when I was pregnant and had a baby, I wasn’t invited to drink but it was assumed I would pick it up again soon, so… More alcohol.

I just moved and my new landlord gave me a bottle of champagne. Though he even knew I am still breastfeeding (a great excuse to not drink) but “well a glass can’t hurt on Christmas”.

But wouldn’t “old liver, new eagles” make more sense? Or at least the same? It’s still his liver (regrowing), and new birds feasting on it (because yesterday’s birds might be still digesting you know). Or metaphorically, there’s always new problems to make your life shit.

True, but isn’t that just a classic milk rice dessert?

How big is her house to be able to hold a python without it being animal cruelty? Won’t it need like a whole level just to itself?

Well I doubt the accents will change, or the plots will become more elaborate or realistic, or the drawing style will change. Right?
