DeimosRising posted:That makes more sense given what I remember of the style of the episode, I guess I was just assuming it was in the US cause it was a southern restaurant She's an American expat, so that's likely part of it as well The post-show story on that one is a goddamn rollercoaster - she got like the biggest post-Kitchen Nightmares boost ever, booked months in advance because Gordon loved her food and she has a really kind and charismatic personality, so she ended up moving locations to a giant multi-story deal called Mama Cherri's Big House to deal with the demand. Of course, her organizational skills and leadership style were always what was tanking her restaurant, so those came out in full force. Quality started slipping, not a whole lot of customers wanted to make repeat visits, and the place closed down within a couple years... but eventually she found a business model that actually played to her strengths: writing cookbooks and traveling around Britain in a van doing catering and giving private cooking lessons. Anything that's one-on-one, that emphasizes her cooking skills and personality rather than her ability to manage a large team and organizational structure, is absolutely where she needs to be, and she's successful in her new business to this day

Even though it's sleazy as hell I understand the concept behind poo poo like negging and trying to change the venue, but the bit where you try and impress a girl by doing a magic trick in a bar seems dumb as hell. I bet even Ricky Jay has better luck picking up women by telling them he's worked with Christian Bale than any slight of hand. if ricky jay did his Four Queens for me i'd probaly suck his dick because i cannot fuckin figure that poo poo out

I kind of wish there was a follow up show (even though most episodes would be "they went out of business and now they work at a Walmart") There are though, most of the UK ones have a "revisited" follow-up that's like half a recap of the first episode and half "let's see what they've been up to in the year or two since I arrived". They're generally pretty good about not white-washing the restaurant's post-show performance, e.g. the Mama Cherri one takes place after she's moved to the Big House and Gordon can see the writing on the wall that the place is gonna go under

DeimosRising posted:Cool poo poo dude, thanks for the follow up. I kind of wish there was a follow up show (even though most episodes would be "they went out of business and now they work at a Walmart") Most of the restaurants closed, which people refer to as the Kitchen Nightmares curse, though it's also just a fact of the business. The number of restaurants that stick around as establishments is fairly slim, most are more like temporary culinary events. Jenny Angel posted:100%, "melancholy texture" is a great way to describe why it's an all-time great reality show, it's this insanely charismatic guy taking a relatively somber and meditative look at the fact that his life's passion is a world that's just absolutely filled with pain and struggle and failure, and doing his damnedest to have a sliver of defiant optimism pierce through It's established right off the bat with the first episode, where he tries to coach two care-not twenty-somethings into giving a drat and seems to succeed at first. But when he comes back in the follow-up, they've not managed to maintain the guidelines he set, and it's this really downbeat epilogue where everyone's sort of quietly facing their failure. The "revisited" episode is even more depressed and feels like one of the later episodes of The Thick Of It - the restaurant has shuttered, the owner is planning to sue Ramsay, and the chef has moved on. It's so acutely bittersweet and organic that it's actually sort of daring for being "just" a kitchen reality show. edit: it's amazing how much money Germany puts into its own arts culture, all the theater groups there get massive subsidies and it shows. They're so far ahead of us that it's kind of disgusting. Magic Hate Ball fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Lurdiak posted:Irony's got nothing to do with it, I'm simply acknowledging the human condition where you can like something without that thing being good. If you're unable to make that distinction you're saying that your personal taste and experience is the only arbiter of something's merit, which is essentially abandoning most concepts that govern modern society. That isn't the same as saying that something that isn't liked by the masses has no value, because anything can have personal value. And it's also not arguing for some kind of populism of opinions where the majority perspective is the correct one. But abandoning the concept of separating the personal and the objective is again, narcissism. I will fight; will fight with my heart. I will fight; will fight with understanding. In my mind, the weather never changes Skill overcomes, difficult situations. A straight line exists between me and the good things. I have found the line and its direction is known to me. Absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction. Any intrusion is met with a heart full of the good thing. Try to compare what I am presenting. You will meet with much frustration. Try to find ... similar situation. You will always find the same solution. As the heart finds the good thing, the feeling is multiplied. Add the will to the strength and it equals conviction. As we economize, efficiency is multiplied, To the extent I am determined the result is the good thing. So I say: I have adopted this and made it my own: Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.

I always thought that I was pretty much the average age on this stupid forum but ya'll had to go posting these lists that confirmed I'm one of the oldest. I wont do my own but I was just looking at the year I'm born and you babies had it it easy. 1982 man. Blade Runner, Conan the Barbarian, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Eating Raoul, First Blood, Fitzcarraldo, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Koyaanisqatsi, Poltergeist, Q, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Thing, Turkey Shoot. How can you choose just one? But if I had to I'm tempted to go with Q because of Michael Moriarty's performance.

I used to watch Kitchen Nightmares a ton when they would basically show it all day on BBC America but after awhile I realized I just didn't like Gordon Ramsay very much.

Yea probably my favourite Bergman and Hour of The Wolf pairs nicely with it. See if you can find Shame, also really good. Fanny and Alexander is incredible too and probably his most accessible.

I agree, but about halfway thru I realized I like it way more than Repulsion, and it may just be because I felt like the framing of the shots complimented the dialogue and the acting so well. Everything just works so perfectly that I was kind of overwhelmed by how masterful it was.

Bergman's mastery in terms of blocking and when exactly to move the camera is unparalleled, no one does it better. E: Villeneuve borrows a lot of this in the way he frames close-ups and when to move the camera.

Death By The Blues posted:Yoooooo cool cats. If anyone wants to watch our ROUGH cut and want to give notes, we would love that. Nicely shot, definitely work on tightening it up. I wish the cinematography was a little more vivid and intense, there's a kind of arms-length feeling but quicker pacing and a good soundtrack will help. The bit with the zipper at 1:32 sounds like a fart.

yea the arms length was deliberate, almost an objective voyeuristic intention with it, but we change it with colour to a certain degree, Definitely will tighten it up. It may not drag as badly once music, subtitles, and sound design is thrown in there. Thank you for the notes!

TCM's Robert Osborne marathon is really good. I watched one with him interviewing Eva Marie Saint from a few years ago and now one is on with Peter O'Toole. I like how he's pretty much just sitting back and letting them talk, only jumping in to keep on track a little. O'Toole told a story about getting drunk with Omar Sharif to shoot the Akaba siege in Lawrence of Arabia that got funnier as he went on, Marie Saint was still swooning over working with Marlon Brando and Cary Grant.
