    Damsel (2023)

    Fuck yeah, it was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and it was honestly scary at times. Pretty gritty world and the effects still hold up very well today. This looks like the feminist inversion of that classic. Free women built this Kingdom and do this honorable sacrifice blah blah blah.

    Is it Korean fried Chicken that some recipes have tapioca flour? There's something out there recipe wise that I watched within the past year. Maybe it's just using it in a blend with whatever the hell else. No potato and cornstarch for frying, and I guess cake flour for tempura are your big...

    So what on earth is tapioca starch used for? I swear it's for some sort of fried Asian protein. I was thinking it was maybe that or is it supplemental?

    @Lanx hey man, what starch do you use for Karage? I was thinking about making something this weekend and I know you posted some suggestions or a recipe but I couldn't find it trying to go back pages. Wanted to say it was from a guy that was doing sushi stuff, but that may have been tempura...

    Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023)

    So watched this tonight. It was OK, but like @jayrebb said, stumbles in the final half. I mean I like the idea that they we're trying to do something with the whole missing 411 stuff, and I guess you can use your imagination as to what it might be. I give them props for at least trying to do...

    The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024)

    Yeah I was just trying to think of older action adventure novels kind of in the same vein in the first thing that popped into my head was The last of the Mohicans. I remember for that time period it was a pretty special book, but comparing it to today's literature it's pretty tame. The movie...

    The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024)

    @Mist Look here, sir. It's not a fun book. Not that I don't appreciate it but when I think of hey what's one of the most fun books to possibly read I don't immediately gravitate towards The last of the Mohicans. It was written as a completely different time where adventure novels weren't...

    The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024)

    To me it's kind of like The last of the Mohicans. For the time period it was this epic adventure and an amazing literary work, but in the modern age it's just not a fun read. I will say the movie version of that particular novel is utterly fantastic, and I think that's why I liked the last...

    You got smell-o-vision!?! I know Emeril Lagasse always talked about it but I didn't know if it ever made its way to Hollywood.

    Had never heard of that movie before now. Think I might have to watch it. I guess that's why I like the review stuff more than anything because they'll at least cover some oddball deal. Good to see Josh back for something, even if he's big fat hipster.

    Hey you're right he was his son. It's got to be one of those first rolls. The movie still holds up today.

    I guess I'll sit down and watch it this evening so I know what you're talking about. Thoroughly sucks though because Perkins isn't a bad director, I would like those other movies. Edit: sorry was having a senior moment. What The hell movie am I thinking of that Oz Perkins did recently?

    The version with Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce was pretty great, but I guess these sorts of stories have to get remade periodically.

    That's just weird though considering how pivotal he is to the entire plot of the goddamn book. Why wouldn't he be front and center. I don't know, maybe this is the version of Dune for people that will never read the books. I know I'm still going to end up seeing it, maybe this week if I go...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Does Baron Harkonen have more screen time in this one? He has maybe 10 minutes in the first film? It was just real weird that he's one of the main antagonist and he was barely given any screen time. Compare it to the Lynch version, or hell even the miniseries, where you really get a sense of...

    Well that sucks. What service is it on, or did you sail the high seas? Probably still going to watch it because I guess I'm a sucker for indie horror.

    The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024)

    Yeah, I think you wrapped up my sentiments exactly. I saw the thread and was like yay the one movie sequel we never asked for, so exciting! Keep it up Hollywood, you're doing a bang-up job.

    Monica! So that GIF gives us a good example as to why the first movie was lifeless. It's memorable. I cared about the characters, and when Paul realizes his potential you're completely on board. I can watch the Lynch movie and anytime I see that scene and it's still is amazing. I can see a...

    Oh Jesus, don't remind me of that. I think that is one of the biggest issues I had with the first movie was the music was just horrible. Every time the lady would sing her Middle Eastern BS, it was just so jarring I would take me out of the movie. Toto made a truly epic soundtrack, and to...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    So is this better then the first one? I'm not trying to be a contrarian, but I didn't particularly enjoy the first one, it just felt hollow and I was supposed to be dazzled by the amazing cinematography and special effects, which it did a fantastic job. It's hard though not to compare it to...

    That guy has an endgame guide that I was listening to this morning. I don't know who any of these people are, and like @Borzak said, it seems there's this big blood of just random video game dorks making videos that you don't necessarily learn anything useful from. For whatever reason this...

    That's pretty cool. Probably the only movie set piece I've ever been to is maybe the Alamo and the French quarter. French quarter being the only place I ever lived by.

    Yeah you got to be willing to kind of mix and match. I bought some odds and ends here and there of other coatings just to try them out if they looked interesting, and a lot of the times it might be 10 or 20 bucks. It's pretty random on what they have though, but deals can be found on some...

    I think we got a jar of the paste from HomeGoods, and it's great for when we need vanilla. Don't remember what we paid, but it wasn't expensive. That place has some surprisingly good deals on spices, oils, and cookware at times. Picked up a bunch of Le Creuset stone ware dirt cheap that...

    Was having trouble on my void knight, but my gear sucks and my build is probably suboptimal. Just wasn't cranking out enough damage, and took forever. My necro was much faster, but one or two mistakes and splat. Doesn't help I'm not very good at some of the twitchier shit.

    Thanks, didn't know if it was something to be wary of. I didn't check the comment section, but again I don't know anything about high level crafting. At least I know now to pay attention to those tags later on when I start doing the faction stuff.

    It was if I'm not mistaken. I know Koontz always had a thing for golden retrievers, and I think that's how he came up with the story. His early books are pretty s decent pulp horror, Phantoms probably being my favorite. She doesn't come from a strong pedigree, but who knows maybe she'll...

    Think that's the first time I've heard a Clara Rockmoore piece of music in a trailer. Oh, and the movie looks like I'd maybe watch it on streaming. I remember that movie from the 80s about Corey Haim, the dog, and the monster man. Wasn't bad, and I think even the sequel was okay.

    That's a fantastic film. Haven't seen it in ages. The rice field scene after the chopper goes down freaked me out as a kid.
