I pity everyone in here praising Chipotle while having never eaten a Pancheros burrito. Pancheros is the manna from which all other burritos shy away, for fear of being completely overshadowed.

FishBulb posted:Because white people are afraid of eating at the "dirty" mexican place instead of the clean corporate place. The same reason Panda Express exists really. I mean, Panda is just a mass-marketed version of American Chinese cuisine, which is why I don't feel bad saying that their Orange Chicken is almost definitely laced with crack, because it is amazing.

Vargo, I finally watched Frozen tonight, and I caught this post from early on the movie's thread:Vargo posted:The whole soundtrack is available on Spotify now. Which caused me to go and listen to "Defying Gravity", and... I actually think "Let It Go" is better. And I'm gonna have to ask you return your ears to the proper authorities, because you just lost the right to use them. For all of the complaints one can level at Wicked, and there are a number, if you don't get chills down your spine, bumps on your arm, and randomly stand and applaud at the final note of that song, you have no soul. Let It Go doesn't come close.

Hewlett posted:It'll be really fun when I find drunken excuses to try to change the subject to messy plugs for Alcohollywood. "WHAT AM I EVEN DOING HERE?!" Shouldn't the excuse just be "Sorry, I'm durnk. and speaking of durnk, i podcast listen movies!" That would be the best panel ever. edit: Y'know, the Anchorman 2 bluray has three different versions included in the movie. How long until we get a movie where they just release all of the footage and say "gently caress it, see if you can make a better movie". I think they were gonna do a remix of Spring Breakers in that fashion, which would be the greatest thing ever and I'm so sad we have heard nothing since then.

People can disparage going to cons all they want, and I see a lot of the criticism, but in 2012, when I was sitting in Hall H and they unveiled that amazing loving Godzilla teaser that no one else got to see for almost literally a year, and the entire place went nuts like their football team just won the Super Bowl, it justified why I go. That sort of thing cannot be replicated, especially not watching lovely quality cam-rips 2 months after the fact. Also, it's an excuse to spend time in San Diego, which furthers my belief that heaven is on earth, and probably located on the coast of California. edit: Also, I've met a boatload of very nice people, many of whom I'm now friends with and keep in touch with, and some of whom I will hit up for connections if I ever move out to California.

cat doter posted:Those nice warm feelings are cool and all but I'm not really the sort of person that can feel positive about an extreme reaction to a trailer, any trailer. Trailers suck. I'm a sucker for a good trailer, but it wasn't even really a trailer in the traditional sense, because it was made before the movie was fully written, cast, and was released essentially as a "we're making this" announcement. It's a mood piece more than anything, to show that they're making a Godzilla, it's going to be serious, and it will gently caress your poo poo up. Like a 2 minute short film, starring a CGI devastated city, Godzilla, and Robert Oppenheimer's voice.

I Before E posted:I'm not familiar with most of these, but Steak n Shake is the best. I haven't eaten at all of them, but Lou Malnati's and Portillo's are valid excuses for moving to Chicago, Pancheros is the best White Person Burrito place on the earth, Pizza Ranch is the most Iowa pizza restaurant ever (great BBQ chicken, all-you-can-eat buffet), and Happy Joe's is just fun. Culver's has some really good fast food burgers too. They're missing Casey's for their pizza, but that's really love it or hate it.

Professor Clumsy posted:Next time I'm in the US I am going to eat something called "chicken fried steak," I don't know how you chicken fry a steak. Also dessert pizza, which obviously doesn't exist despite TwistedLadder's insistence. I literally ate chicken fried steak this morning for breakfast. It's good, you just pound a steak real thin, batter it and fry it, as if it were chicken. Top this with delicious sausage gravy. Also, desert pizza owns, but it might be the most midwestern thing ever.

I'm taking a break now, but I got a job as an overnight baker at a large grocery store, which sounded awesome, but my brain is having a visceral negative reaction to being here, and there is no way I will be coming back for another shift. I hate that I don't like it, because I thought baking was something I enjoyed, but now I'm not sure. Luckily, I already have one awesome job that I wouldn't give up for the world , otherwise I'd have to just keep going until I found something better. I think it's the size. In a huge gently caress-off store like this, it's completely impersonal, and I just can't do that. I like working places where I know the manager and everyone working and I can jump in and do other things if necessary , like my current awesome job. This just feels like I'm stumbling through and have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing. edit: I will be keeping this bitchin' hat though.

bowmore posted:Ever thought of starting your own bakery? Every day, man. I actually have a stage tomorrow at a smaller bakery that seems like it would be much less stressful. I'd like to think that at some point I will open a food joint of some sort, just because of how much I love to cook and bake when I have fun, and the sense of community that the best eateries have. I'm still in the process of figuring out exactly what I want to do with my life, and that is still on the table. Right along with politician, television writer, and Huntington's Disease spokesperson.

The worst part is that in the back of my mind, I knew this was gonna happen. In my interview they asked if I had any potential concerns about working here, and I said exactly what would happen. It's like the Month I worked at Wal-Mart, except slightly less awful by virtue of not being walmart. As it stands now, Blockbuster ranks in the upper half of jobs I've had, and that's kinda sad. Though not unsurprising, consisting the perks, and how little work I actually had to do. Clearly this means I should only work places where movies are involved, because that's where I've been happiest.

Coffee And Pie posted:Blockbuster would have been my dream job, but sadly by the time I turned 16 they were all but extinct. Blockbuster had some huge plusses and some huge minuses. The huge plusses included a vast majority of my coworkers being easy to get along with, a particularly awesome manager, free movie rentals, big discounts on used movies, that one time I bought like, 70 BluRays for a dollar a piece, the low level of work, scheduling bending to my whim, and just general ease of being there. Negatives included that rear end in a top hat Gary, a completely incompetent corporate structure, their infamous No Raises Ever policy, having to wear khakis and an ugly-rear end polo, and many others I can't quite remember. But it was a place that I was not annoyed that I had to go to, and I enjoyed myself when I was there. That's all I really ask for in a job. Nice people, fun work, and not a chore.

Swagger Dagger posted:I don't know if you guys want to count the ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries as movies since they're made for TV but holy gently caress is the Hillsborough documentary required viewing for anyone with a passing interest. I don't know how something as generally terrible as ESPN makes such amazing documentaries, but holy gently caress is 30 for 30 the best thing they've ever done. If you even remotely care about sports, they've got some amazing documentaries, and even if you don't care about sports, a lot of them go beyond the sports they're about and are just really good docs about people/places/things/times/whatever.

The MSJ posted:They showed new footage from Dawn of The Planet of The Apes. It's uploaded nowhere yet, but there are descriptions of it as usual. It has some spoilers, but the important part is that there's an ape council scene where they are discussing their encounter with humans and they communicate using a combination of broken English and American Sign Language. I think you could switch out the four non-Gravity movies for Upstream Color, Her, The World's End and a pick-one of Elysium/After Earth/Oblivion/Man of Steel and have a set that fits a set of awards named for a man who edited a SF magazine back in the era of people like Bradbury, Vonnegut and Serling. TrixRabbi posted:Frozen was more fantasy. Do the Hugo Awards cover fantasy or only sci-fi? Both, but when's the last time something Fantasy was worth watching?
