That reminds me of something important about the great bone-in vs bone-out wing debate of like a moth ago.

I worked at three restaurants where wings were served and in all cases, the bone-out wings were just freshly diced chicken breast, battered and friend exactly like the actual wings were.

But the nuggets/tenders/whatever chicken chunks you'd expect to see on the kids menu were pre-processed and frozen and basically just needed re-heating.

So you're a damned fool if you compare boneless wings to chicken nuggets.

Just because it's a fresh high quality chicken nugget doesn't change the fact that it's a chicken nugget.

Lol just because the restaurants you worked at sucked doesn't mean that diced chunks of chicken breast are the same thing as chicken wings.

Freddy was a gross child molester who rightfully mostly got his rear end blown out by Jason in the end :colbert:

Also the heat sucks a million asses and waking up cold on the first day of proper 'cold season' feels SO GOOD.

This one's kind of split on popular/unpopular but either way Gene Simmons sucked and it always annoyed me that he took all of KISS's spotlight when Paul Stanley was a much better performer and cooler guy.

Goddamit the orange chicken is the only thing I'll eat at Panda because all the other meat is like gristly shoeleather in poo poo sauce.

I'll also eat the vegetables but WHY do they serve entire heads of broccoli and then give you a plastic fork to eat it with, aarrgghghahaahghr

I feel that way about stale, poor quality chicken nuggets: it's still a chicken nugget.

The meat of the nugget is of secondary importance to how good the batter/breading is. The meat is just an anchor for the (hopefully) deep fried batter.

My unpopular opinion is that wings are in general an overpriced, overrated food. They aren't satisfying unless you buy an absurd amount of them which then will be like $50.

I'm not one of those guys who says "the new Star Wars movies make me see the prequels in a better light" or whatever. The Prequels were bad when they came out and are still bad now. Even if the new Star War movies are also bad, that doesn't make the prequels better.

That being said, Rogue One is worse than the prequels.

Drumsticks are better, but there's a real tactile pleasure in the disassembly and consumption of the flat that elevates the experience.

They hosed up so bad with Solo by firing the original directors and then re-shooting the whole movie again. Solo is the most expensive Star Wars movie of all time and it's a miracle that it's even halfway decent.

Rogue One and Solo are both flawed but enjoyable and had aspects to them I really liked. The new trilogy is dog poo poo. People just wanted to hate Solo and wanted to love The Last Jedi even though TLJ is 10 times shittier and both of those movies show why critics are worthless.

Also, the kid who played Han did a good job and didn't deserve to get poo poo on like he did.

My opinion is that more people disliked Last Jedi than liked it. I liked it a lot myself, but I know I'm definitely in the minority on that. I'm not interested in going into some discussion about it's quality, it's just a fact that more people didn't like it than did, and that's all there is to it. I anticipate that Rian Johnson's trilogy will probably be cancelled quietly sometime next year, or at the latest a few days after Episode IX comes out. This is because Episode IX probably won't flop (there's a reasonably chance that it will) but it will do nowhere near as well as Disney would probably like it to. That's just the way it is.

i liked the actor who played han, his han impression was pretty good. i liked that the world was less shiny and plastic-looking than most of the newer star wars films. it was also just nice to have a movie without jedi or sith in it, just a bunch of other factions with some time taken to explore the galaxy. the robot rebellion felt like it came from a corny 80s film and it owned. honestly, i think i enjoyed it overall more than i did any star wars film since empire strikes back.

I feel like the narrative shifted down the line a bit. People wanted to like TLJ so much that it started with a lot of positive buzz and had a great critical reception, but I think a lot of people realized that they didn't like it after letting it settle in. I remember thinking it was terrible walking out of the theater but didn't really feel comfortable with that opinion for a few days.

I don't know about that. I think more people disliked it than liked it from day one; as I said, I liked the movie a lot so I can't be accused of being biased in the direction of the facts, it's just that this status is plainly obvious to anyone with rudimentary powers of observation and you can't argue with the facts. I'm not saying nobody liked it, just that more people didn't like it. Trust me, I'm right.

This is very different from the prequels, which more people did like than dislike, but it's just that the only people who ever talked about it were the people who have parroted RLM for the past decade.

Of course my opinion is that A New Hope is the only one that is unimpeachable, Empire Strikes Back is about a half-step below it then the rest are really of a muchness, with my preferences between them fluctuating depending on my mood.

Ehhhhh. I think this probably wildly varies depending on your age. I was a teenager when they came out and I loving hated them along with everyone I knew or ever talked to. I only learned how popular they were amongst people who were really young when they came out in recent years. RLM sure as hell didn't invent prequel hate.

Nah, in my opinion, more people definitely liked the prequels than didn't like them, they just never talked about it and the people who didn't like them were louder for longer. On top of that, most people eventually got over themselves about the prequels. Not so with Last Jedi, which has the opposite situation going for it; more people dislike it than like it and nobody can prove otherwise.
