it's because they're not accrued by 1, but actually issued as a rating on the 1-3 scale. this happens in a conference of secret restaurant snob shoppers, and the decision requires unanimity. so when you multiply that process with 3-star definition being "worth flying across the planet just to eat there", it ends up being very selective (because end consumer of these is people affluent enough to have legit yelling power)

I've eaten at a michelin star restaurant before. It was pretty worth it but I wouldn't do it regularly or anything

i can't say i know a lot of people using atv+, but the show is getting fair rap within my earshot. my takeaway is that it's a high-budget take on making inoffensive b-tier comedy

Only thing I can think of when I watch that show is this family guy clip. Terrible name for a pretty good show.

I saw a car with a vanity license plate today that said "UNBRTHRD" and the only thing I can get from it is "Unbirthed."

I have no idea what that would mean or why you would want that as your vanity plate, though.

maybe it's a weird boat dude who's "unberthed"

fake edit: they're "unbothered", that's why the second r is there. my gut sense is that they're an rear end in a top hat

i don't know, but given that i just recently learned that the "u4" keyboard switches i grabbed are supposed to mean "euphoria", i'm not too keen to learn exactly what kind of eldritch linguistics horror "UNBRTHRD" is

when you apply for a vanity plate, you're required to give an explanation so the state dmv can ensure it's not obscene. so there's an answer out there somewhere

Ymmv obviously but it can be all of those things. An American college football coach gets hired to manage a British soccer team, it turns out that the old owner cheated on his wife and she got the team in the divorce and is now trying to ruin the team deliberately to spite him. The American coach seems stupid at first but wins people over with his social skills and heartfelt goodness, convincing her to try and make the team a success instead. But it turns out that he took the job because of a death in the family that he doesn’t know how to deal with and is struggling to process. The various personalities of the players and staff bounce off each other in interesting ways.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Just a series of amazing sentences in that review from the Associated Press:

quote:

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” begins much like Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing”

quote:

There are a few moments of stereotypical Italian life — pasta and a big family dinner — before the brothers’ attempt to fix a water main break drops them through a portal

quote:

In future Brooklyn-set sequels, Mario will presumably combat waves of strollers and hipsters.

quote:

On the other side, Bowser lords over a Koopa Troop army in scenes that can feel like the most surreal imitation yet of “Triumph of the Will.”

quote:

But while shrinking or enlarging are possible on this other side of the green pipe, there’s never any mention of the possibility of lives being lost as Mario makes his way through mushroom patches and question-mark boxes.

Well I'm excited, and I think it's cool that kids like Super Mario because Super Mario rules and has always ruled. :colbert:
