sexpig by night posted:yea they're my go-to for mainstream 'I can find this at pretty much any grocery store' brand, they don't try super hard to make it taste like the meat but they go for the texture more than anything and I really like that approach more. Like their meatless chicken nugs don't really taste super 'chickeny' but they feel just like any other frozen nug and that's good as hell to make up for it. If you don't care about the meat taste you can freeze and thaw tofu to create a chicken like texture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9_yPALDvos

I finally got around to watching Encanto since people can't stop talking about it. It's alright. Visually beautiful, but the story has a lot of problems and the songs all suck. I was really thrown off by the backstory being set during one of the civil wars, which I thought must've been La Violencia. So the whole movie I couldn't stop thinking about how Abuelo must've been horrifically tortured before being killed (the climax implies he was merely hacked to death with machetes). But I'm looking into reviews and reactions to it, and a lot of people think it's actually set during the 1000 Days War. But, if that's the case and the story is set 50 years on from the past, that means La Violencia is going on beyond the mountains of Encanto. The movie gives homage to 100 Years of Solitude over and over again, to the point that this clearly ends up just being a Disneyfied adaptation of the book. Several characters overlap too closely to characters from the book, like all the parallels between Bruno and José Arcadio Buendía's madness & ostracization from his own family. All of these homages are superficial, though. It's a reactionary fantasy about the Buendias getting a clue and resolving the problems within their own dynasty. But being a family drama is all this is really about. At the end of the movie everything returns to status quo ante, and the only lives that are improved are those of the patrician manor lords. At the end of the novel, generations of catastrophe, egoism, and incest have ruined the Buendia bloodline - to the point that the town of Macondo itself collapses. Are we supposed to assume that there won't be any more Brunos & Mirabells, that there won't be another reactionary matriarch like Abuela? If we accept the story at face value then it's fine as a family drama, but all of the historical and literary context paints a much darker picture. Encanto is its own world magically cloistered off from the outside. The active genocide perpetrated beyond their purview can't possibly pervert the utopic hacienda system as it's presented. The more I think about it the more I have to conclude that this is the most insidious and reactionary work ever produced by Disney. It's magical realist fantasy where the aristocrats win in the face of reality. Pener Kropoopkin has issued a correction as of 23:44 on Feb 7, 2022 |

Some Guy TT posted:when someone upthread made a joke about encanto being similar to eternals i didnt realize this also extended to including references to real life historical events that involved people being horribly murdered They very easily could have avoided all of those dark implications by not showing the historical context. They could've left the cause of the refugees completely vague. For all the audience knows it could've been a natural disaster that destroyed their homes, and grandpa drowned in the river. Maybe it's still a reactionary fantasy, but it's one that imagines a perfect world for all the beautiful things about Colombian culture where everyone's problems are ultimately trivial. But they did allude to real life atrocity, and they alluded to the novel that deals directly with that history of trauma and conflict. It's way way way more hosed up than it should have been.

Question apropos of nothing: why does there seem to be a huge uptick in Van Gough stuff recently? There have been so many “Immersive Van Gough experiences” popping up that apparently they have dedicated customer support lines for people buying tickets to the wrong one. Is there genuine public interest that capital is sucking dry like a leech, or was it some weird copyright thing?

I don't mean to sound too cynical here. There's a lot of very touching and experimental tributes to Van Gogh out there.
