My SO saw it in my subscriptions and went "who the hell would watch an hour long video about how bad the music in Cats is?" After I watched it and told her it was more about the structure of musicals, she said "I would have watched it if he'd just called it that!"

Maggie Mae Fish has a new project. It’s still media criticism but with a looser style and a weird frame narrative that I assume will resolve into something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydFN6SvjJUI I like the MST3K/cable access aesthetic. The synth score and undercurrent of menace reminds me of budget 70s sci-fi like Children of the Stones or something. I really like the idea of not having to be responsible to the historical context or reception of something beyond whatever seems interesting.

I guess if it’s a narrative that looks like Pee Wee’s Playhouse and isn’t Linkara battling his future self and isn’t taken seriously at all, I don’t mind it. Go figure.

I watched this and it was good, and then I realized he had a whole video on pipe organs that I never watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT934eTbmuY And he teases something about the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (the Halloween organ music) not actually being written by Bach, and man that is not something you can leave hanging out in the open there without elaborating on it because come on that's just too juicy to brush off.

It's not a stretch to draw the comparisons. It's a fantasy film so you won't get any of the "boring" parts of organization and other critical things to revolutionary body but the main thrust of the story is Luke seeing his family and home destroyed which radicalizes him against the forces that did it. It all culminates with him killing millions of soldiers of that empire. That's just reading the film. If you look at intent outside of it, George Lucas fashioned the rebellion after the Viet Cong.

yea like I get not wanting to read resistance into everything but Star Wars was very explicitly meant to at least in part a commentary on how an empire's arrogance and cruelty can create its own destruction.

It makes me legitimately terrified now to consider how powerful military-scale directed energy weaponry either already is, or will be once development is complete if something the size of a large hot glue gun that you can you plug into a wall outlet is strong enough to cause intense pain and 1st degree burns.

Nuns with Guns posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT934eTbmuY Yeah, that bit sent me searching a bit as well. I think the main reasons why a couple musicologists debate it is: 1) There's no manuscript of it that contemporaneous to Bach's life, and the earliest version has language and terms that Bach wouldn't use. It just shows up in a collection of pieces later with his name on it. 2) It breaks certain rules of counterpoint, and Bach being the most perfect musician that ever music'd (according to these folks) he would never do that. 3) It seems to be a piece that music snobs like to hate for being popular or cheesy so they don't think he wrote it 4) People gotta have hot takes online So it might be something a young Bach wrote that's out of character with later works, something partly-written by Bach but completed by a pupil or something, or maybe it's the classical music manuscript transcription version of any metal song on Napster the person didn't know being written by Metallica.

Yeah, a lot of brines or marinades add sugars to enhance flavour and browning. I’ve heard of Dr. Pepper getting a lot of use for that, weirdly enough. That looks burnt, though.

People have marinaded with Coca-Cola, too (e-lol Kim sent the post above mine while I was typing.) Mountain Dew seems a bit much, when you could probably get the lemon-lime flavor from 7 Up or Sprite without the extra food coloring or caffeine seeping into the meat, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. It's a very unattractive food photo still, though it's a whole separate art to make food photography look appetizing.

I guess it'd depend on how much you like citrus flavors? Mountain Dew isn't like super strongly citrus-y to begin with. If the marinade had real lemon juice in it the whole three days though, I think that'd do a worse number to the texture of the meat.

3 days is certainly looong for any kind of marinating of chicken, let alone with Mountain Dew. No wonder it's luminous green. Still...I'm not immediately thinking that it's going to be bad. Sure got a crispy skin. Then again, maybe my crap radar is completely smashed out thanks to some of the old cooking programs I've been subjecting myself and my Twitch audience to where either everything is beige and a bronchitic host is coughing over all the food, you have nightmare mode Fanny Cradock stuffing literally everything into a poor turkey's orifices while piping a giant ring of green mashed potatoes around the plate, and students put a bowl of cornflakes, veggies and cheese sauce into the oven and call it dinner. I'm not a good judge. Also, you now live in fear of any moment in an old British cooking show where the hosts start talking about offal for fear someone's going to use the F slur in reference to a dish of pork offal-based meatballs.

BigRed0427 posted:The queen's English is so interesting! It's a very different word here (or rather it has been for most of time). F___ot used to be an old measurement for a bundle of sticks. So from there you may find other bundles of things being called that. This is where the "f_g" slang for cigarettes comes from - a pack of cigarettes appears a bit like a pack of short sticks. You get the aforementioned meatball from here too -- which is a bunch of pork off cuts minced up into a meatball and then has an appearance of being bundled together because caul's wrapped around them. This more humdrum etymology and the slur aren't totally unrelated, mind. On my Wiki travellings today I found the slur may come from a somewhat derogatory term for old women in Victorian times -- "F___ot-gatherer", because you used to get a load of old women eking out a meagre living collecting and selling bunches of sticks for firewood.
