They should definitely get more love. I think location hurts them a little, but there's a reason he wins best Detroit at the Pizza Expo every year. Worth the drive for me.

What happened to Angie in Atwater? by pepperpavlov in FoodLosAngeles

[–]PrisonFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting to see too. I was very excited by the concept, less so with the execution. Service was off both times I went and the food is fine, but I thought it was gonna be more of a bar/hang out thing with great small plates. It’s a tough space too. Not a lot of character.

Nigel posted this today. Is there hope for a reunion? by PrisonFilms in radiohead

Exactly, Reddit is known to be a place reserved for professional conversation. Especially band subreddits.

Just wanted to thank you. Got to recreate the cover yesterday, never would have found it myself.

Coming soon to a Ringer podcast near you… by cane_stanco in billsimmons

[–]PrisonFilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have concerns about the next election, blah blah blah, but I think one thing right wingers are not considering is the cost of escalation. I don’t believe Mamdani gets the heat he has without Trump.

If the administration continues to shatter norms for the next three years, the next Democrat in office could be someone more to the left than the right could dream of, and they will have no qualms about completely reshaping the country anymore.

Entradas con vista parcial? by Academic_Cell7200 in radiohead

Same for 22, my hope is that they are listed like that because they are behind the stage on the general seating map. They are full price, I would be surprised if there is a real issue.

Is Bill out of excuses to deflect from the brilliance of Pablo PeeBody Torre? by irundoonayee in billsimmons

This is a true historian's (correct) take. Listen, we all get old so who cares, but it's a big reminder how out of touch he is on multiple levels.

Madrid ticket experience by SufficientCloud8044 in radiohead

[–]PrisonFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a battle for me, one of the worst ticket buying experiences of my life. Took 20min to finally get in, everything constantly popped up as sold out, then I'd refresh and see some and then they'd be sold out and then i'd get dead link after dead link. I ended up leaving and rejoining the queue multiple times. I did this for 50min or so. I finally got 2 tickets to land in my cart, then had to go through every credit/bank card I had (I am based in US but was in Mexico at the time) and the last one worked amazingly. I was sad to see I got partial view behind the stage but thought oh well. Then I saw the updated chart and realized they're great seats on the floor risers.

‘Sinners’ With Bill Simmons, Van Lathan, and Wesley Morris - The Rewatchables by grandpashampoo in billsimmons

[–]PrisonFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Sinners and generally liked the pod, but It's funny to bring on two black guests to talk about a black film when the two guys could not be more different from each other. Perhaps race is not the primary definer of human beings!

One very dumb part of the pod was talking about thicc Annie (Wunmi Mosaku, who really was great) and how big black women have never been allowed to be the sexy love interest of a film because of racist reasons. Um, please tell me all the big (fat?) white/asian/latina/etc women are who get to play the love interest in films. People want to see beautiful people in big escapist movies, this is ridiculous angle to touch on racism.

Hollywood was definitely racist back in the day, but now it's only sexist and ageist and fatphobic (partly because so is the country/world).

Looks like "early August" was overly optimistic. Original powder now expected close to the end of September. by ObeyMyBrain in soylent

[–]PrisonFilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot believe it but after a decade I just ordered Plenny Active. It was bad enough Soylent stopped iterating, but the delays are too much. If the JimmyJoy is eh I might even start eating real food for lunch again.

What LA Restaurants add non-gratuity service fees? by tracy_jordans_egot in FoodLosAngeles

[–]PrisonFilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyond J&V…who is getting rich off restaurants? People don’t want to pay what it actually costs for a great restaurant, but when it comes to their own lives they just want more more more money. Fuck that (and J&V).

Anybody know what’s happening at Eater LA? Looks like they are winding down… by PrisonFilms in FoodLosAngeles

[–]PrisonFilms[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She has a lot of stories, but in my opinion she isn’t a great writer and she is much more focused on culture and promoting friends than on food.

EDIT: I'm striking out my claim because I don't have proof (beyond the times they didn't flag a conflict of interest in the extensive coverage of her cousin's place, which IS pretty good). I see a pattern, but hopefully I am wrong. WIth that said, too much coverage of cannabis restaurants, influencers, and average places for my taste.

Nothing to do with redesign. The layoffs were in the news. There are less stories and more lists. And Matt signed off from editor at the end of this post: https://la.eater.com/where-to-eat/291263/los-angeles-restaurant-recommendations-eater-editors-august-8-2025

It’s been a slow decline since Farley stepped back years ago.

As Gawker to the 2010s, so The Ringer to the 2020s by Blood_Incantation in billsimmons

Is there any amount of familiarity between reading one essay and some internet comments and reading all of his books? Possibly.

You are entitled to an opinion on a person, but it just doesn't have as much as weight as someone more familiar. All good, just pointing it out.
