Who in here recommended The Menu? That was a weird rear end movie. Not as bad as The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. That movie sucked so badly, they made us watch it in college and I ripped it to shreds in my review.

C-Euro posted:I guess you could be forgiven for not remembering the McDonald's Szechuan sauce craze from a few years back, there's been a lot of news to absorb over the last several years. There was another tie-in where you could get the sauce if you ordered through the McDonald's app last winter. I remember it was last winter, because it was snowing when I went to get some Egg McMuffin's and overheard someone complaining that the trucks delivering the sauce was delayed, and could he come back and get the sauce later? It would be really unfair if he couldn't. Yes, I'm in a gentrifying neighborhood, what made you ask?

I'm not ready for a movie theater experience so I'm waiting for The Menu to pop up on streaming. Same with Triangle of Sadness. There's also an Are You There God It's Me, Margaret movie coming out and I'm absolutely going to see it ASAP once it's on streaming. I need Naatu Naatu from RRR to get an Oscar nom just to see how they stage it.

Is The Banshees of Inisherin any good? Seeing it win big at the Golden Globes makes me a bit interested in it. Or did they just do a remake of In Bruges, given the cast / director.

The Hollywood Theater here in Portland is showing RRR on January 16 and I need to go see it. They're also showing the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the 18th so this month will be busy. I did see Avatar: The Way of Water last Tuesday & while the story is basic & has some moments (really? You're bringing back Quaritch as some clone Avatar?), there are some action scenes that had me going "Oh yeah, that Cameron guy can direct."

In Bruges got sold in ads and trailers as a normalish zany comedy and then I saw it and got....that, so pardon me if I'm leery of repeating the experience

Yes it's very good. Its quite different from In Bruges in time, place and characters but it does have the feeling of people dealing with a difficult situation without an easy resolution in a boring place thing. Still an amazing movie. Made me chuckle, made me very sad but left me thoroughly satisfied. like ur mum

I’m excited for The Last of Us on HBO this Sunday I think. It’s been getting great reviews which I usually take with a grain of salt, but Pedro Pascal and the dude responsible for Chernobyl on HBO, so Also we have Brookfield Square, Southridge Mall, and Mayfair Mall all within ~12 miles of each other and all three are always super busy so idk what that’s about. Our Sears turned into a movie theater and some weird bumper car-polo arena thing?

Kind of like how Shaun of the Dead and World's End are the same film (Hot Fuzz was good enough to feel different from them). Also, I'm seeing clips of that new Velma cartoon, and holy poo poo lol Mindy Kaling should never be allowed to pitch a TV show again.

Chernobyl seems good but my appetite for depressing TV has rapidly dwindled. Last of Us seems borderline there.

I got my sewer line scoped today due to having several backups over a 3 month period. Apparently when this home was connected to a modern sewer system they just ... stuck the cast iron house pipe inside the terra cotta sewer pipe. No seal, no joining method. Just pipe in pipe with dirt to close the 4" to 8" diameter transition. Over the years, the tree directly above this transition has lovingly sent crazy amounts of roots into this gap. And since its at a transition point it can't be cleared out by the typical sewer snake roto-blade thing. Guess I'm looking at a $5-digit dig up.

I took a road trip w a buddy last fall for the first weekend away from my wife and child in 6+ years, and probably my first weekend away from my wife in 7 or 8 years at least—it was very bizarre. While I had a nice time, they did some really fun things together and I found myself wishing I’d just stayed home.

Yeah it’s just weirdly quiet in the house. I keep catching myself trying to be quiet cause I usually get an hour of alone time weekdays when my daughters at school, wife’s upstairs working and the 2 year old is napping and don’t want to wake him up

Daughter has issues that require some extra attention and we don't live near any of our family. It's not any life threatening but dealing with her behavior sometimes can be tough either two parents. Going to be heading down to CT to watch the Super Bowl with my father that weekend and I can't really relax that much because I'll either have to leave right after the game or at like 5:00 AM to get back home on time to bring her to school.

When my wife is off on an artist residency or whatever, I get to unpack a project all over the dining room table (eat on a tv tray in front of the tube when alone, natch). It's also a time to do home improvement projects that are intrusive, like shutting off the power all day to do some wiring work or shutting off the water all day to finally fix the drip in the shower. It's also cool to bring the PC out to the living room and hook it up to the 4k TV for some Big Gaming, play loud heavy metal music, basically all the stuff that my wife would certainly let me do but which I know would annoy her a little.
