K. I slept on it. Strange movie. Beautifully shot, gorgeous music, whackadoodle plot. The Big Sick or Get Out should’ve gotten Best Movie, imo. But I’m not a member of the academy so it doesn’t matter. It’s all subjective, anyway.

Some of y’all are really going to tell me that you’re more afraid of socialism than of fascism? Crazy.
George Washington didn’t want fascism.
America has always been a mix of capitalism and socialism.
The problem is, in the last 50 so years, (or more probably, I don’t feel like looking it up) Billionaires (the top .001 percent) and big corporations have been given tax breaks and bail outs (by the government ie: socialism) until there’s nothing left for the rest of us.
I don’t know why this particular sentence to @eatgordaeat bugged me so much because there are so many. “Readers expect stories that reflect what’s happening ‘right now’ in the food world”.
Since when?!
I have one question, well so many, but let’s start with this one.
When a story is being pitched, why does it have to be ‘in’
or rejected because that’s so ‘five years ago’?
food, where it’s from, the culture, is ALWAYS interesting!
I just wanna learn. I have my own experiences with an Italian grandmother, an English Irish mother, an Indonesian mother-in-law and I’ve learned so much from each of them. It’s a big world and I want to learn more.
Last time I laughed this hard at expletives was at a ‘dirty word dinner’ and @WolfVanHalen decided to give it a go. Mind you, he is maybe 6-7 years old. Rules are, you’re only allowed one turn.
At first, shyly, and not taking his fearful eyes off me, he goes in with the longest hyphenated string of expletives I have ever heard in my life (and you guys know who I was hanging out with from age 20-40) and I thought I’d heard them all and in multiple languages.
