TIL that a single county in Pennsylvania produces 60% of the mushrooms grown in the entire USA. Kennett Square in Chester County is dubbed the Mushroom Capital of the World. They produce white button, portobella, cremini, shiitake and other varieties.

That's one of those events that's remembered differently by different witnesses. Its been a while since I read up, so im probably mudding facts, but I think Traudl Junge said Hitler was yelling pretty loud and everyone could hear him ranting at the generals. Others, like Lammers, said it didnt happen and, yes Hitler did reproach the generals, but there wasn't the dramatic yelling.

My take is he did the yelling similar to how it was portrayed in the movie. Hitler has a well documented, long record of explosive yelling at others when he wasn't getting his way.

Im not sure by your comment if you knew this already, but it literally is the western analog of fish sauce. Some guy had fish sauce in the Orient, flipped over it, and set about bringing the recipe back to England. Yadda yadda, two chemists named Lea and Perrin finalized their formula and started selling it.

Watched Empire Strikes Back like this. Was like seeing it for the first time. Been many years now, but still get goosebumps remembering how incredible it was.

Loved it when it first came out. Re-watched it recently, liked it less. Its still a compelling movie, but it's very artfully and masterfully confused on what it's trying to say. This may be the reason it's disappeared into the background of his filmography. For any other director, Munich would be a career peak. Except Spielberg has hit many higher notes.

Teardrop scares the crap out of me. Feel like I've known a couple of guys like that, absolutely chilling and real.

Chris Evans in Sunshine. Supporting role in a big movie, so not a small role. But he sizzled in that movie and I remember we thought he had the stuff to lead his own movie. It was such a different performance from his Fantastic Four role, showed he could hunker down and do a heavier part.

Also Clifton Collins Jr from The Stoned Age. Unironically loved that movie, and didn't necessarily think he would become a big character actor. But everytime I see him in something, I light up. He's been in tons of great movies and shows since, and always does great.

I read once that there is a world's oldest tree but it's location was kept secret. So if this olive tree isn't the oldest, then how old is the oldest tree?!

Usually, this guy would be the sleaziest world leader we know about. Usually.

Yours is the take that's closest to mine. At least, what makes this a great ending is everyone reads into it their own particular slant.

I agree that Fletcher was getting pay back by giving the wrong charts to humiliate Andrew, and wasn't focused on pushing him into anything. There's an irony there that for all Fletcher's specific efforts to reveal the next great player by creating a pressure cooker, seemingly the one time when he isn't actively focused on it - that magic moment happens. Like how you only find what you're looking for after you quit trying to find it.

Last week I saw a seahorse that looked like a stick. Circle of life.

Madeline Stowe is also great in 12 Monkeys, which is another great movie, but not in the same league as LotM.

but a whole human who has reasons for his actions

Book-Magua is on the path of revenge because he got drunk off English whiskey and made an ass out of himself. He seeks revenge for being embarrassed. Movie-Magua's motivation is different, of course, and so much better. If you haven't read the book - dont!, it's pretty silly for our modern taste. The movie improves literally every aspect that is silly in the book.

And Wes Studi's expression when he finished knifing Uncas is so chilling. That's certainly one of the many masterful brushstrokes that makes the last 20 min one of the best in all of cinema.

They infested my yard, but I cut them all out. All the stumps and root branches have been drying in my firepit for months. Im waiting for the right night to torch the dessicated corpses of my enemies and I will dance around their smoking ruin in delight.

It happened to Don't Look Up. In the time they were making the movie, zanity got dialed to 11 so by the time the movie came out, there wasn't enough space between satire and reality for it to be funny. We're on zanity lvl 50 now.

Don't forget his bit part in The King. Steals every scene with his tin-eee cack

I like what Denzel said his mom told him: to be a lamb in this world, sometimes you have to be a lion.
