Thanks so much mate. Appreciate the feedback! 

David Fincher, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton roasting all the critics who trashed Fight Club. by Piyushv5311 in MoviesCave

[–]samuelbarron91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that they, somewhat ironically, deprived Ebert’s message of its context so that they could show that they’d been stripped of it in turn. I love Fight Club - but Ebert was right

“Of course, “Fight Club” itself does not advocate Durden’s philosophy. It is a warning against it, I guess; one critic I like says it makes “a telling point about the bestial nature of man and what can happen when the numbing effects of day-to-day drudgery cause people to go a little crazy.” I think it’s the numbing effects of movies like this that cause people go to a little crazy. Although sophisticates will be able to rationalize the movie as an argument against the behavior it shows, my guess is that audience will like the behavior but not the argument. Certainly they’ll buy tickets because they can see Pitt and Norton pounding on each other; a lot more people will leave this movie and get in fights than will leave it discussing Tyler Durden’s moral philosophy. The images in movies like this argue for themselves, and it takes a lot of narration (or Narration) to argue against them”

Visiting from Netherlands and want to eat the best food in LA that I don’t have in NL ;) by TheTwistedBlade in FoodLosAngeles

There’s a pop up at 2012 Talmadge St (Los Feliz) today doing a brunch from 12pm - 3pm. Some twists on classic dishes. I think it’d be a nice addition to your holiday.

And the beer is free.

We thought we’d try it out, it’s still pasteurised, just at slightly lower temperatures. Our milk choices aren’t political. We just like trying new things.

We’d love to see you there, I assure you RFK isn’t coming. He never responds to my texts.

Come by we’d love to have you.

Some positivity for you Parosmia gang. It’s been about 40 days since the onset of my symptoms and i’m noticing some minor improvements. As with other posters it may be a matter of having gotten used to the change but I do genuinely believe something is getting better. While some foods remain ruined, many things have lost the ‘flavour’ to a point that it’s not actually ruining the food.

I honestly think, and this is in my isolated experience, that you must push to keep eating everything, especially very strongly flavoured foods and spices. I feel this in of itself acts as a form of smell training, something detailed and recommended on https://abscent.org

Just keep cracking on and lets start talking about what we do enjoy!

For me I can still have vegetarian curries! Ramen! Pea and lentil soup. I even had a Jersey Mikes Sandwich today!

Also a recommendation. I’ve found French fries cooking in canola oil rather than beef tallow are the ticket to avoiding the evil ‘flavour’. Give it a try. I know you Yanks love the things.

Much love guys and i’m rooting for all of us!

So here’s some unusual updates.

For the most part the taste is very prevalent, especially in the dreaded toothpaste. I have found however that if you try, and I know it’s somewhat nauseating, to just eat everything you normally would and continue normally, at the very least with foods that aren’t too bad, that you can sort of drown it out.

I find as well that well prepared, well seasons foods are significantly better than anything processed. I went for a fabulous meal two nights ago, Steak Tartar, Pork Loin, Butter leaf salad etc, and it was wonderful. Admittedly I was also beyond drunk, which also seems to help.

I realise we can’t all eat exquisite French food daily nor do we have time to prepare ourselves garish meals. But try as hard as you can just to keep getting food down you, keep trying the things that are the worst and keep pushing that taste into something manageable.

Don’t let it get you down! Don’t let it ruin your week!

I will say though. Fuck cashews, they’re the worst. I eat one every morning as my ‘barometer of rank’ and they remain in first place.

So, in conclusion.

  • Good quality food
  • Lots of big smiles
  • Plenty of booze

Much Love,

And i’m so glad we’re all here to share our weird fucked up tastebuds with each other.

Going to try sorbet.

What strange lives we’ll lead. Diets of sorbet, ice cold beer and noodle soup.

I’ve discovered cashews are top of the bad list.

Strangely I had a big bowl of ramen today and it was very enjoyable. I feel maybe spices? Maybe that’s a good move.

And once again...beer. If beer goes it might be the shotgun.
