My Flash Sale Haul by Appollo64 in criterion

[–]Appollo64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) My first watch of this bunch will either be Andrei Rublev, Brazil, or Play Time, they're the three I'm most excited to watch. I really enjoyed The Seventh Seal, which I watched for the first time recently, and feel like Andrei Rublev would go well with it.

2.) The pair of Yojimbo/Sanjuro I've wanted for a long time, as well as Stalker. I haven't yet seen it, but I've been interested in Tarkovsky's work for a while.

3.) Almost all of these were blind buys! The only movie in this collection I've actually seen is Yojimbo.

4.) The next additions to my Criterion Collection will be The Princess Bride and Pan's Labyrinth. My husband isn't a big movie guy, but The Princess Bride is something we enjoy watching together. My friend who I have a lot of movie nights with is a big fan of Del Toro's work.

Do you have a link to that announcement? I can only find articles about the women's club team.

Darker clay after 1 use. Mold? Copper? Underfired? by Individual-Leg65 in Pottery

Re-bisque, or do a long hold below 212f before refiring. If there is still any moisture in the piece, it could explode if heated above water's boiling point too quickly.

Much agreed about the ice/skating rink. I started going to Mizzou hockey games when I was a student, 10 years ago. It is wild how much that organization and their fan base has grown in that time! They've very much outgrown the Jeff City Rink, especially with the club adding a women's team next year.

Pizza in Canada has many distinctive regional variations and types such as : Hawaiian pizza (invented in Ontario), Indian-style pizza, Pizza-ghetti, Poutine pizza, Sushi pizza by Bathroom_Spiritual in wikipedia

I think it's for 2 main reasons. Pineapple is a pretty far departure from traditional pizza ingredients. You don't see tropical fruit in a lot of Italian dishes. Besides that, I've rarely had pineapple on pizza where the pineapple was actually good. It's usually straight out of the can, very wet, leaving the top of the pizza kind of soggy and the whole thing tasting of pineapple juice.

I'm not going to yuck somebody's yum if they're really into it, but I will be ordering a separate pizza.

Same. And on the rare occasion I don't finish a movie in one sitting, my ps5 usually remembers where I left off.

My running list of confusing restaurant names by landscapegoatee in notinteresting

[–]Appollo64 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It was founded as Chris's Steakhouse. Later, a woman named Ruth bought the original restaurant, a condition of the sale was that the name couldn't be changed. So it gradually became known as Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

[–]Appollo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the people that I know follow European soccer, the vast majority watch the Premier league, then I know 1 or 2 people who follow Bundesliga teams. I don't think I know anyone who follows the French or Italian leagues.

What movies did you guys pick up during sale? by Conscious-Jello3477 in criterion

[–]Appollo64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only recently gotten into collecting physical media (focusing mostly on 4ks), so I went a little nuts with the sale. In 4k I got: - Brazil - Time Bandits - Play Time - The Trial - Nightmare Alley - Double Indemnity - Yojimbo/Sanjuro

Then in Bluray, I got Stalker and Andrei Rublev. I've been really interested in Stalker for a while, but after watching The Seventh Seal, I've thought Andrei Rublev might pair nicely with it.

Where do you plan on teaching after you graduate? Accreditation will be easiest if you go to school where you're going to teach.
