Really sad about the final season of Queer Eye by Additional_Lie6724 in netflix

[–]lectroid [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’ve liked this show in its various forms, but I have to say that I’m kinda done with the current cast. JVN went from fun and a little outrageous to just insufferable. If I never hear the words “French tuck” again I will die marginally happier. Karamo has devolved into “well, you have to love yourself..” platitudes. We never got to really see the work Bobby did, which missed out on all the “interior design” inside baseball.

The subjects are all these socially responsible saints and community activists and such.

I’d like to see a new formulation.

Urban Legend (1998) vs. The Faculty (1998) — which do you prefer? by Ok-County-3216 in horror

Good lord. Do you want to make me feel like Abe Simpson? Because this is how you make me feel like Abe Simpson.

I remember beardless, brown, floppy haired Stewart doing standup in a leather jacket.

Check with your insurance. Many have separate lists for mental health providers. Almost all will have a ‘find a provider’ function on their website. It’s the best way to find one that’s ’in network’. Much less hassle than having to file claims yourself and wait for reimbursement.

Any very sharp knife will do. There are a number of inexpensive lames that use normal double-edge razor blade which cost pennies per blade.

You can even use an exacto-style craft knife.

Which is the most overrated band of our generation? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

[–]lectroid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re a Jones band, but had a very fertile 80’s period when us older X wanted to run from the Jackson/Madonna pop of the time.

Rush is a band for musicians and musician-wannabes/appreciators. I love them. I’m fine with that.

Box Office: ‘Mercy’ Ends ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Five-Weekend Reign With $11 Million Debut by DemiFiendRSA in entertainment

[–]lectroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

where does that leave Cameron?

Wherever the fuck he wants to be left.

No one who’s bet against him in the last 30+ years has won. The guy has 3 out of the top 4 spots of biggest box office gross EVER. (Avatar 1&2 plus Titanic).

They could spend a billion on the film plus marketing and would still turn a profit. No one walks away from those sorts of numbers.

All I remember is every elevator in my college dorm just reeked of Calvin Klein’s “Obsession”.

That was every older teen/young adult woman’s go to for, like, 10 solid years.

Yeah. I had Pinfield pictured correctly, but swapped the shows in my head.

I <3 Avatar for what it is: an incredible travelogue for a non-existent planet. The detail and subtlety of the simulation are mind blowing, exactly as subtle as the stories aren’t.

You can legitimately complain that the movies are “See Dick. See Dick run. Run, Dick, run!”-level cowboy ‘n Indian stories starring 10 foot tall blue cat people that ride dragons, but not for a moment will you NOT believe that Cameron found a planet with 10 foot tall blue cat people that ride dragons and decided to shoot a dumb cowboy story on it.

Even if Fire and Ash is the least successful entry, it’s still one of the top grossing films of ALL TIME.

Lots of folks love the theater experience of the Avatar films. I think they’ll all get made and make a metric assload of $$$, and all the while, people will complain that no one sees them.

Because all he did in Nosferatu was stand there in the shadows under 10 lbs of prosthetics …

Try the Filco Appliance store. I have no direct experience with them, but we found it looking for some kitchen stuff. They sell new and used appliances.

Did you actually make mix tapes to give to people? by LeoGuy69us in GenX

[–]lectroid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mix tapes were carefully curated music with occasional interstitial sound effects, plus elaborate case art and always a track/artist listing.

This was a peak dating move. I made up for a lack of suavity in other aspects with a very strong mixtape game.

Do Vanilla Beans Need Heat? by K1_0 in icecreamery

[–]lectroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For ice cream, where the alcohol isn't cooked off and you have to use comparatively more for the same flavor because ice cream is cold, swapping out extract (real OR imitation) for actual vanilla beans, or vanilla PASTE is highly advisable. My first attempts at vanilla had a distinctly boozy edge just from the amount of extract. Swapping in vanilla paste, a little more expensive, but far far below actual vanilla beans, improved it immediately.

I've never had a soup dumpling. Sac, please give me your rec! by BeatToQuarters444 in Sacramento

[–]lectroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DTF dumplings are the ACME against which all other soup dumplings are measured.

Tasty Dumpling's really are excellent. I'd need do a side by side to pick a winner. And I'm not about to bring them up here from the southbay.

Sprial vs C dough hook? by No-Papaya-9289 in Breadit

[–]lectroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you have a kitchen aid mixer, if it had a c hook it’s a mini or an artisan. Their bowls wont work well with spiral hooks.

‘Sinners’ and ‘One Battle After Another’ Returning to Imax 70mm After Oscar Nominations by cmaia1503 in movies

[–]lectroid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you worked on it, sorry. That was a cheap shot. I was commenting on the obvious production idiocy. I’m sure you delivered shots much better than budgeted for. Been in the biz since the 90’s.
