My roommate likes watching ted talks in the living room on 1.5 speed so everyone sounds like chipmunk people. He's a nice guy, but I think I might destroy him.

Can anyone point me in the direction of essential reading for examining films? Starting from the basics if possible.

The ambulance guys. They say, "What the gently caress happened here?" I say, "He come to reaping what he been sowing, that's what." They say, "Fucker been sowing some kind of heavy poo poo."

The heavy theory crowd should totally watch some late period WCW. Vince Russo, as inept as he is, keeps trying all this weird complicated meta poo poo. Wrestlers "not following the script", talking about jobbing, it's... Interesting. nWo Souled Out is before him but it's fairly artistic too. Terrible, mind you, but a rare case of trying to give a PPV a theme and atmosphere of its own. It's what happens when a wrestling company has unlimited money.

Noxville posted:When I was watching The Double last week there was a guy in a 5-second one-line role who looked a lot like J Mascis and I thought to myself 'that guy looks a lot like J Mascis!' When I looked it up it turned out that the guy who looked a lot like J Mascis was in fact J Mascis, making a 5-second one-line cameo in a low-budget artsy independent black comedy for reasons beyond me. This is amazing, but I'm surprised they gave him a speaking role, because, my god, is it difficult to listen to him talk.

The best Mexican place I've ever been to is a place here in Providence called Baja's. Their pork is just out of this loving world, and they stuff the hell out of a burrito for you if you get one. They're also a Tex/Mex place so they have plenty of other great stuff too, but I've never gone wrong with a pork burrito. There's a Chipotle down the street from it and I literally can not fathom why anyone would want to go there instead.

Because white people are afraid of eating at the "dirty" mexican place instead of the clean corporate place. The same reason Panda Express exists really.

Ugh! We suck. To contribute: I had some pretty great Mexican in this hole-in-the-wall in Moab. My folks were wary about it, but I insisted, and everyone left happy. C'mon, white people. Soundtrack To Mary fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Apr 13, 2014 |

I love my local taco joints, but I actually prefer white people burritos to the sloppy messes you get there. I like a lot of rice and meat. Taquerias that just do simple meat/onions/cilantro are the exception, though.

Best drat tacos al pastor in the world are at this dirty Mexican place in a slightly less than reputable part of Madison. I was heartbroken when it burned a year and a half ago (finally re-opened, though).

The ONLY reason I could support someone for going to Chipotle on that street instead of Baja's is because it's a SUPER narrow restaurant. Like, the length of a small hallway. Otherwise there's really no excuse, because they also make white people burritos. edit- There's also a Guatemalan place near me that has AMAZING fresh-made corn tortilla tacos.

Seriously. Sometimes the best places are the dirty hole in the wall places in a ghetto where you are likely to be shot dead. The danger adds a zest of flavor to the food and life other places don't have.

I mean, Panda is just a mass-marketed version of American Chinese cuisine, which is why I don't feel bad saying that their Orange Chicken is almost definitely laced with crack, because it is amazing.

The Orange Chicken is like their only decent thing though. The Teriyaki chicken is okay I guess but their fried rice is so god drat bland that I can't eat it if they forget my soy sauce packets, which they do about half of the times I go. e: don't go to a Chinese place if the name of the place isn't two nonsense words, which may include "happy" and "China"

I go to chipotle because it tastes pretty good, none of the other "better" chains are in my area and their tortilla chips with chipotle pepper hot sauce and guacamole is loving delicious. That said, the best Mexican I ever ate was at a hole in the wall behind a self storage place I was working at that one of the guys I worked with told me about, that made some loving amazing cow tongue tacos.
