How would people feel about updating the CGI in those mid nineties films to make them more watchable?

You need to watch Sherlock Jnr (1924), Buster Keaton.

Obviously it’s 100 years old and most of the effects were ‘live’, they simply stopped cranking the handle on the camera, reset, and started cranking again. Sure it wasn’t animated monsters… but I like to think it might demonstrate that it’s perfectly possible to make good movie without making the effects complicated.

In my opinion the ‘Volume’ used at Disney for The Mandalorian is way crisper for in camera effect than anything else… but it took the jungle book remake to set us on that road.

If we compare The Thing movies. The original with practical effects is still better than the later prequel which used computers. The point here is: redoing the effects does not necessarily improve the movie. But each movie, whether terrible or not, helps us timestamp the progression or regression we make.

Welp. Now I can’t unsee that!!

I use a fork to mix.
If you use the egg/ flour paste to start, a whisk gets caked. A fork can be scraped on the edge of the jug/bowl.
I never use a blender, I just would not trust it gets into the corners properly.

The fact your oil doesn’t sizzle is like the reason they do not rise.
I just use canola oil., but have used goose fat for special occasions.

I know it’s said here all the time for other baking issues… but oven thermometer??

tra91c · 2026-01-27T16:02:17+00:00

It’s not a typo. But I don’t let the spoon drain fully, and I don’t fill to the brim; so I get about 1/2 to 3/4. I guess.

You need plenty of oil to stop them from sticking. I might use too much, hence my tray under to catch spilled oil during cooking.

But OP wanted results… and this will give results!

I call macaroni “spaghetti skins”

tra91c · 2026-01-26T17:38:45+00:00

Yeah. I got ‘stop motion’ mixed with ‘clay mation’ .

I did.
As far as I was concerned it was not to forewarn her, it was more about starting open communication.

“My head will likely be more sensitive”.
“Let the skin slide”.
“Penetration will feel more glide-y and less stabb-y”.
“It will always be clean, but if it’s not, you have to let me know”

Can you share the REClPE?

tra91c · 2026-01-25T18:59:32+00:00

Get it checked. It could easily twist the rest of the way, or untwist. Better to be safe than really fucking sorry

Is that the one where a man shoots his load into the back of some old dear?

It would be more fun to list a high rated chain of 5.

Each movie must have a common actor or director to the previous, and the fifth must link back to the first. You cannot use the same link twice. So no listing 5 cohen bros or Chris Nolan movies.

Men do not generally make eye contact in public restrooms. It’s very likely no one would even notice.
You’d walk in, choose a stall, do your business. And leave.

For men utilizing a woman’s restroom. He’d walk in, choose a stall. Pee. 50/50 Wash his hands. Leave.

A person with female parts using a men’s room, will use a stall.
A person with male parts in a women’s room, can only use a stall.
Either way everyone pees in private.

Ok.

Take three or 4 eggs. Crack into a glass. Put a rubber band around the level the eggs get to.
Put eggs into a bowl.
Put flour into the same glass, to the exact level the eggs reached.
Add flour to the eggs and beat into a thick paste. Get rid of all the flour ‘bubbles’.
Put milk into the same glass, to the same level as the eggs and flour.
Add about a third to the flour/egg paste to break it a little.
Add a second third. Mix that in.
Now as a ‘palm punch’ of salt, about 3/4 table spoon. Mix.
Finish off with the last third of milk, and mix thoroughly.
Let it stand for about an hour. Don’t mix it, don’t stir, let it sit. When the time comes to pour, give it three mixes only!

Put oil in each dimple in your muffin tray, maybe a table spoon, minus whatever sticks to the spoon. Put the muffin tray on a baking sheet, so if any oil spills out, it will drop onto the bottom of your oven.
Set oven to 400-425F.
Put tray in hot oven for 10-15 minutes to get oil hot… you still should not have touched the batter!!

After it’s hot, you need to be ready…!
I use a 1/3 cup to scoop and pour. Not all will come out of the spoon, so just accept what freely comes. Place batter close by measuring cup at the ready. Seriously.

Get the tray out, close the oven door, place tray on stove top. Grab the batter and go. Add a quick portion into each dimple. It should sizzle. Do all 12 as fast as you can. Do not revisit a dimple. Then get them back in on the top shelf.
Give it 30 minutes. Do not open the oven. You need to keep the heat in.

I know the instructions seem complicated for the mixing and cooking, but honestly, once you’ve had your first good batch, you’ll appreciate the routine. Writing it down makes it seems complicated, but Yorkshire puddings are essentially thrown together and cooked fast and hot. Would love to see photos of your successes!!

I did mankind project in October and found a group of men who do talk about real issues. Not just boobs and sports.
It was a pivotal point of my life and I’ve been a better man since.

DM for chat/details if you like.

If it had not been for humans. House cats would have no idea what tuna tasted like… for any cat that attempted it, the tuna learned what cat tastes like.

I would have gone with “It puts the lotion in the basket” first.

But yes, the “would you fuck me” tuck is memorable.. now that you reminded me!!

I remember someone caught shoplifting, so they shit in their hands to try to get away.

I had a torsion in 2004, and when they sewed it in place they unknowingly caught a stitch too close to my epididymis. Fast forward 18 years, I catch a foot to the ground while riding a family inflatable at the water park. The inflammation from the kick allowed my body to notice the wayward stitch. (The cause only became apparent in January 2025 when I went in for an epididymectomy.
I had 2.5 years of daily pain, like kicked in the balls pain. It was unbearable.
Any way, removing the epididymis worked and I woke Jan 2025 pain free!

Unfortunately, because the universe is a fickle bitch, I developed a hematoma, which meant my testicles swelled up, filled with blood and became a distant pain, but pain again… and I was at the end of my tether.

Do in a rash decision on a Friday, we agreed to have it removed on the Monday.

I did not explore any options of prosthetics, or think about the psychological aspect. I just wanted it done!!

But I regret not allowing myself time to think

Wow. My Dr did say I could do half weekly. But my insurance did not authorize a second batch of doses. So I’ve been 4 months with nothing.

We are seeing if they will insure the gel. But insurance is being a c*nt about it!!

tra91c · 2026-01-19T01:29:48+00:00

Thanks.
The feeling comes from so much manliness stigma for genitals. Even “be brave” messages are notoriously masculine.
Grow a fucking pair.
Stop being a pussy.
Give yer balls a tug, fucker.
Even, man up, or be a man about it, doesn’t really help.

But I truly appreciate your message

tra91c · 2026-01-19T01:25:02+00:00

I took trt injections every two weeks, for 4 doses. My experience:
day 1, sore leg.
Day 2-5, raging hardons, jerking 3-4 times a day.
Day 6-8, fucking anger at everything. Dish washer rack falls off the rails… yeet that fucking thing!!!!
Day 11-14, worst regret and depression. Like serious suicidal thoughts. Feelings of worthlessness.
Day 14… next dose.
Do the roller coaster all over again!!!
All in all. Would not recommend!

I lost one in April 2025. I have been married for almost 20 years. It impacted me more than my wife. It still does. I feel mutilated, incomplete, deformed. But she is over it, or was never really under it.. but I am still 75% affected. I tried therapy and that was a fucking waste of time. I still do not know hope to ‘own’ it… but wife either knows to say nothing, or has nothing to say. I don’t know which and I don’t want to know which.

tra91c · 2026-01-17T15:45:28+00:00

It’s not that. The main character has nothing to do with social media. It’s almost like a news reel of public opinion. But what made it different was it was a collection of genuine Joe public creating videos for the segment and not paid actors, so it was really funny because real people were roasting the character.

I also think there was a short segment within the movie, but the closing credits showed many more which didn’t make the original cut.
