I recently watched The Retrieval, and I recommend it. I also recently watched Jinn against my better judgement, and I would recommend ripping off your fingernails slowly instead. It might be watchable if you're blackout drunk and have a good sense of humor, otherwise steer clear.

If the rest of Comedy Bang Bang season 3 doesn't come out soon, I'm just going to pitch a fit. If you like depressing movies, check out The Homesman. It's about a tie between this and The Wrestler for the most depressing movies I've ever seen. I wonder now if Hilary Swank is type-cast as characters who just get poo poo on a lot.

I'm watching Big Trouble in Little China and I cannot figure out why everyone likes this movie. I'm not saying I don't like it, I like it a lot. I just don't get why.

You sycophants can't leave someone alone for saying they don't know why they like thing you like? Personally, I haven't seen all of it and can't tell if I liked what I saw or what the appeal was. I happen to prefer My Name is Bruce as a portrayal of a typical Chinaman gone amok. And Bruce Campbell outshone Kurt Russel in Escape From LA which itself was superior to Escape From NY. IMHO

I'm not a huge Anthony Bordain fan - I dunno what it is about him. It's like he really wants to sell himself as both a foodie elite and a salt-of-the-earth figure. Jury's still out for me. But I do love his The Layover series. Really gives a cool insight from locals of each place he goes about the types of places and food you might look for if you visited for a day.

I love Bourdain, and while I liked The Layover, the editing in it really bugged me. I get what they were trying to do with the split screens and sped-up pace and everything, but it didn't work for me. Plus I really, really hate shaky camera work. Parts Unknown, on the other hand, is pretty great. The Tangier episode made me want to move there immediately.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:"You leave Jack Burton alone" is a line from the film. I was being silly. I picked that up, I was watching it while posting about it. Honestly it's a c+ supernatural action movie without Kurt Russell's character completely bringing it home by being so oblivious and outside of his element. Every "oh GOD what the hell is that?!" slays me. Basically I love Kurt Russell.

We usually have CNN playing at work so a Parts Unknown marathon on the weekends is always a nice treat. I want to like him more but he lacks the charm of someone like Mike Rowe.

The first time my fiance watched Big Trouble in Little China she was convinced that it wasn't meant to be comedic and it was just all around bad. It wasn't until the giant neon skull lair and Kurt Russell facing down the big bad with a streak of kissed-on lipstick that she conceded that indeed, the camp was intentional.

I'm not saying he's a hack, it's just that he's the essence of what most non-snob food culture is about : loving both the creation and consumption of really good food, and living fast while you do it. It's true hipster foodism, and not being a "foodie".. It's the punk rock of cooking. coyo7e has a new favorite as of 23:51 on May 23, 2015 |

Yeah he definitely wants to sell himself as punk-rock. But at this point he's more of an embarrassing uncle. I watch the shows, but it seems like lately he's been phoning it in. I just saw one episode where all he said was like "this is good, I like this. Spicy! I'm gonna be making GBS threads like a mink!" It just seems pretty pointless when any clueless idiot would be saying the exact same things. The reason Bourdain (or anyone experienced) is hosting food shows is, in theory, to say things more intelligent and relevant than "yum."

That's what's cool about No Reservations, though. It's not a cooking show, it's a travel show, it just happens to deal with food a lot.

I think Parts Unknown is the best of his shows. It's less gimmicky, I guess? It's just him going to places most travel shows don't (The Congo, Iran, lovely small New England towns), meeting all sorts of people, seeing cool poo poo and eating food. He comes across as a really chill, smart, and insightful guy these days.

know who thinks that middle aged and post middle aged punks who travel around the world are embarrassing? Children. It isn't like he is still sporting his leather jackets covered in anarchy symbols and hell,most of Bourdains tattoos showed up during the show, not 20 years ago. The Offspring and Blink 182 are embarrassing old punks.

Gordon Ramsay got held at gunpoint, doused in gasoline, and almost set on fire by shark fin poachers when he was making a documentary exposing the practice. That alone is way more "punk" than Bourdain's entire career of being a gross junkie for a few years, getting famous from it, and then turning around and saying that addiction isn't real and it's just an excuse people make because hey I was able to quit cold turkey why can't everybody else. e. Read his book Medium Raw if you want to watch a guy who got famous entirely through luck throw everybody else under the bus in the name of keeping up his image as The Bad Boy Of Food Network with zero self-awareness or irony.

See: going to Madagascar and trying to convince the locals that eco-tourism makes them all sellouts to colonialism. But Parts Unkown is saved by really gorgeous cinematography and a really smart production team. Seasons 1 and 2 in particular are great (I've probably watched the Noma episode - s2e5 -somewhere around 4 or 5 times).
