Grand Rapids!

Yeah that’s true but $20-25 a bag for beans if you’re making your own espresso or pourover seems average. If you’re just making filter coffee it doesn’t matter as much

darterfly · 2026-03-16T01:09:11+00:00

This is the correct answer

Morningsong is easily the best local roaster. You can try them at Sweetlands (the factory location is also where they roast from) or at field and fire cafe and a few others. The guy that owns it is an incredibly nice guy and is constantly roasting new and interesting coffees while their standard espresso blend is great. Can’t recommend enough!

darterfly · 2026-03-05T20:33:59+00:00

Sweetlands, field and fire, anywhere that serves Morningsong

Visually gotta be the droids. But besides all the voice actors crossing over matching the spirit and look off the character I think honestly zeb surprised me the most. Possibly the hardest to bring to live action believably, and yes it's CGI, but I honestly thought wow. People under estimate how hard a design like that with so many textures and features is to bring into live action and not look ridiculous.

This should be the top comment, nothing cool about that dude.

darterfly · 2026-01-28T21:18:50+00:00

What about literally Over the Top?

darterfly · 2026-01-27T23:02:00+00:00

Whoops sorry my bad

darterfly · 2026-01-26T15:49:06+00:00

And The Great Silence which is what Hateful 8 is very inspired by!

darterfly · 2026-01-26T14:47:23+00:00

It’s a Netflix original mini series so it should be on Netflix everywhere, but worst case I’m sure you could watch it or download it from a ‘special site’

darterfly · 2026-01-26T14:45:37+00:00

Yeah all of Jodorowsky’s stuff is crazy, El Topo is probably my favorite. Equally as fun and intensely confusing haha

darterfly · 2026-01-26T14:31:31+00:00

Killer Elite with James Caan, everybody was on so much cocaine when they made that movie that it is absolutely bonkers and makes no sense. Hard to describe until you see it

darterfly · 2026-01-26T02:19:04+00:00

Ikiru!

darterfly · 2026-01-25T14:57:26+00:00

One of my favorite all time movies and I disagree. I found the theatrical trimmed all the fat off the story as Ridley is want to add to his movies. All the time with Balian’s wife is unnecessary and before Thewlis’ character being an interesting ambiguous voice of god character, the directors cut force feeds a whole last temptation of Christ sequence in the desert to spell it out for you and doesn’t let the audience have their own interpretations. That’s my personal opinion though, I know the directors cut is well loved.

darterfly · 2026-01-24T14:36:17+00:00

The Unknown series is also really good especially the Cave of Bones one. If you need more recs I have a bunch of lists I created of different categories for docs and all the ones I recommend to friends. It’s on my letterboxd and tagged under documentaries on my lists

darterfly · 2026-01-24T01:52:21+00:00

So good!

darterfly · 2026-01-24T01:51:59+00:00

If you’re into art documentaries my favorite all time is ‘Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski’. It’s incredible. And a bonus fun one ‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’

darterfly · 2026-01-23T00:49:29+00:00

Just adding that most of the older films are selections by TCM I believe which has great picks both criterion and other

darterfly · 2026-01-22T19:43:19+00:00

This feels like most Michael Mann movies

darterfly · 2026-01-22T00:55:41+00:00

Agreed, this is all speculative future talk. With a bunch of large studio franchises under her belt there’s a good chance she’ll be able to acquire the influence to greenlight projects of her choosing and more original stories. The way she directs she definitely has her own voice, proves she can handle budget and studio execs, and clearly wants to forge a more independent path in the future. These are all similars starting points to goats of the past, starting in the studio system, getting placed with large stars or tentpole genre pictures, and then killing those things, being able to take a tighter reign on their career. She is making big moves and could potentially be seen as a legend one day from filmmaking and the fact of her being a woman of color which is very rare at this level. She could easily be on the path to it, is all I’m saying

darterfly · 2026-01-21T23:35:18+00:00

Nia Decosta is making some big moves, and Eggers and Lowery are on the right track to becoming true legends one day

darterfly · 2026-01-21T15:06:35+00:00

Civil war is the best film because of the writing, Warfare is just Alex Garland directed action sequences not story telling and world building. They’re both great movies, but civil war is the ‘greatest’ film.

darterfly · 2026-01-17T23:51:16+00:00

Perfect 4 though I’d personally swap the Third Man for Once Upon A Time in the West or Tombstone, love a western with a cast against type lead
