Mushrooms go on pizza or in stew.

Bakery question: you have scones, cornmeal muffins, stew and chili. Which baked good goes better with which meal?

chili with cornbread is pretty traditional. cornmeal muffins arent far off from cornbread

Cornmeal -> chili

Scones -> tea and jam



Do you consider sukiyaki a stew?

I mean, it might fit the technical definition. Sukiyaki always looks so nice and well prepared that i dont want to toss everything together when they bring it out. I certainly prefer my stews a bit more blended and slathered in beef gravy. Sourdough scones make amazing sponges to wipe up stew residue.

I'm supposed to be working, but instead I've been reading pornographic Korean webtoons and skipping past all the sex scenes for the soap opera bits.

It has the best music by far. The rest of it I can accept debate but the music is irrefutable.

wrong. music is one of the biggest factors to me and the mononoke music doesnt stick with me like my top tiers. its got bangers but they dont sell the message or plot in nearly the same way as S+ or S

monoke and spirited away loving own

controversial take i know

grave of the fireflies i'd have a hard time rating against their other works because of how different it is. i feel confident in saying that i like it more than nausica or castle in the sky though.

totoro was good but i am definitely not the target audience for that

purposely didnt include the takahata stuff here because its thematically way more fragmented. also the second-tier directors, and included pre-ghibli stuff from miyazaki. "miyazaki" not "ghibli"

one big reason i rank howl so high and mononoke so low is that i like War Is Bad content and i dislike making that point through depiction of insanely badass violence. part of the same reason i dont love evangelion. its simply too sick and goes too hard (there are other reasons)

i do think that war is bad movies that aren't focused on how cool violence is are important to have. but fundamentally violence is cool and badass, and truly great war is bad works are ones that can leverage this fact rather than try to ignore it

i think its way more important to depict that violence is ugly and destroys its perpetrators. and i think howls does a great job of that

i agree, but doing that in a way that does not also look cool and badass is ultimately near impossible without sabotaging your ability to depict said violence in a complex or not-one-note way.

i mean the howls depiction is still kinda cool and badass. but its significantly less cool and badass than the mononoke stuff by way of how its framed in the film (occasional shots to establish its Happening rather than extended scenes of epic murder) and the actual depiction (look at this man having a terrible time as he does his murder. [cuts to sophie] his girlfriend thinks its loving fail)
