Kim Justice posted:Kinda like beans on toast for Americans, "biscuits and gravy" is a dish that'll often make British folk shudder at the very thought of it. Probably because it suggests that, I dunno, you're dipping a Digestive biscuit into some dark, Bisto-type gravy or something rather than a biscuit being a sort of savoury scone. That sort of sausage gravy's not something we really have here (Never had it myself, but the concept seems fine to me?) hah. regional differences are fun. the biscuits are fluffy flour biscuits made with shortening and buttermilk. probably almost exactly like a uk scone... but not an US scone because US scones are what you would call in the UK a rock cake. the gravy is milk and pork sausage thickened with flour and lots of black pepper. it's a very US rural dish made with things you'd find on a farm.

Regular Car Reviews has a video about the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J73_hu4u03Y I'm just posting it because goddamn those last 30 seconds. E: This was recommended to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL4v6KMGJeM It's surprisingly high effort. Some fun editing tricks in this one, and I like exploring game maps like this.

The 7th Guest posted:i'm not ready for the internet discourse if a disney film had a charismatic pure saturday morning-rear end villain again Well the internet (which seems to be about 85% Twitter from how people talk about it) has always been like a cartoon character opening a door during a hurricane and then slamming it shut saying 'Yeah, it's still pretty rough out there' so I'm not surprised. That said, I hear that's one of the best parts of the new Puss in Boots movie; the fact that one of the villains is just evil, entertaining and you can't alignment shift him at any point like Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 or anything.

Okay, so? People don't enjoy space Jam because it's a good movie. They enjoy it because it's dumb enough to be entertaining.

Space Jam gave us a soundtrack with a song that has B-Real, Method Man, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J and Coolio on it so it gets a passing grade. What an amazing murderer's row on a goofy basketball Looney Tunes movie soundtrack.

I do agree with the basic principle of the Looney Tunes video, which seems to be that Space Jam utterly destroyed the concept of the Looney Tunes characters established in the 40s through 60s, but I think it's a vast overstatement to say that if, as a kid, your first exposure to Looney Tunes was through Space Jam, then you're somehow wrong for enjoying it that way and I'll instead say that if you're nostalgic for Space Jam then that's cool. Space Jam acting as a sandpaper to file off the hyper-violent tendencies of Looney Tunes is entirely expected of Warner Brothers of the 90s, and it speaks more to the utterly depressing properties of capitalistic corporate machniations than anything else. All in all, I think the best take-away is that it's neat that there's apparently been some new stuff that's been produced (which I didn't know about before this video) and that we should count ourselves lucky that the idiots in charge don't know what to do with it and thereby haven't figured out a away to ruin it.

Holy poo poo, I just started watching Philosophy Tube yesterday, and assumed the creator has transitioned a while ago. I just got to 2 years ago in her backlog and holy poo poo! What an abrupt change! Her NHS video got me to subscribe to her Patreon and it’s so much sadder to realize how recently that all happened.

What an amazing murderer's row on a goofy basketball Looney Tunes movie soundtrack. There was a golden age of modern film soundtracks where filmmakers were saying "I want _____ in my movie because it's a good song, or I really like this band and they need people to listen to them", which allowed directors to use movies as a vehicle for their personal mixtapes. If the people on the film had good taste and clout, they could get a pretty good thing going. This allowed film soundtracks to get big and sell lots of copies and drive listeners to them. Corporate execs got the cause and effect backwards and said "hey, if we shoehorn in acts for artists we own outright through the related record label, all we have to do is put them on the soundtrack of a big movie and they'll get huge!" and movie soundtracks began to decline in quality until they became a perfunctory thing that was probably meant to extract more money from an artist (hey, if we put them on _____ we can claim some more points/expenses for ourselves) than sell records. Streaming/track purchasing also killed this because nobody had to buy the whole album, so films weren't seeing this as a way to make side income anymore because you really wanted Misirlou and bought the whole Pulp Fiction soundtrack to get it.

It utterly threw me to watch David Lynch’s The Elephant Man recently for the first time and hear “Adagio For Strings” come in at the climax. Luckily I was watching it with others who could tell me, “no this was seriously THE film that used it first, everyone instantly knew it would be copied to death but Lynch was actually being a smart filmmaker”

If the people on the film had good taste and clout, they could get a pretty good thing going. Meanwhile I have never cared about songs in movies, and cant really remember much outside of special occasions. (Free Bird in Kingsman, Baby Drivers whole deal) I always gravitated more towards the background score and found the trend of: Oh whats this movie's soundtrack? 'Songs inspired by the movie and the oscar bait/end credits cover song' instead of 'the actual music score in the drat movie' to be lame as hell.

I remember Rat Race being loving funny. Although I didn't know when I saw Rat Race that it essentially stole a bit from Seinfeld. Said bit is still very funny and pushes the bit further by having the car lighter go into his mouth and gently caress up his speaking voice I was on Seth Green's side at the end of the movie though, I would have kept that money edit: I just watched the scene on youtube.

Rat Race sucks because they cut the scene where Cuba Gooding Jr. breaks into a house being transported by truck that inexplicably has Kimberly Page sleeping in the bedroom and then Diamond Dallas Page comes out of the bathroom and kicks his rear end and throws him out of the moving house

Civvie covers one of best weird games ever made. https://youtu.be/jPuDCoDa8C8 It wasn’t until The Division’s survival mode that a game managed to capture Cold as perfectly as Cryostasis did. It’s really hard to overstate how good this game is if you have any kind of tolerance for some kind of jank gameplay, the worldwide digital delisting is a crime.

Kim Justice posted:I dunno, guy seems to be doing good with 7 vids but that one's an absolute slammer -- still 55,000 subs but the channel's not even a year old, so that's pretty bloody great. But then that kinda weird thing happens when you get an algorithm blessing? I just had one with an older Final Fantasy VIII video that started doing huge numbers out of nowhere, and it's really cool but, at least from my experience, it does also seem to exist in a bit of a vacuum. It doesn't necessarily mean you get an absolute ton more subscribers or that a whole load of your other vids start doing brilliantly too (mind, I did finally redo my REALLY old FFVII vids to take advantage and that also did swimmingly).

Shame nobody seems to have done a longform video on Voyager's 'Blink of an Eye', which is arguably one of the most interesting sci fi concepts the show explores, an almost full inversion of the prime directive situation basically.
