Happy Fun Time Open Thread
No arguing. I'll put up a post right on top of this one for political arguing.
If you want to talk politics, go upstairs to the top thread. You can make fun of these idiots, of course:lel pic.twitter.com/sQiFAjYhHn

Textured Vegetable Protein.
You mix it with ground beef to stretch the amount of ground beef you have. Whatever you mix it with, it will take on that flavor.
You can mix TVP with a pound of ground beef and make 1&1/2 lbs.

Croatian Walnut bread. I think it's called something like Povitica or Potica. Bunch varieties in Central / Eastern Europe. Recipe came with Great Grandma from the old country.

So, I'd go with something more memorable, and if you want dark and memorable how about Return To OZ?

Ray's wife died several weeks ago. Yesterday I went to visit him (again) while I was there he mentioned someone else in my congregation (Barbara) whom he's known a long time. She has had several bouts of cancer and is in treatment now, and kind of sad about losing her hair, but she's not a complainer. He said "Barbara invited me over to have tea, so I'm going to go next week".I was very touched by the fact that Barbara who has her own struggles wants to reach out to Ray because he's missing his wife whom she's also known a long time. It just goes to show you that if you reach out to others it can sometimes make you think less of your own problems.
I love these folks.

I'll have fun with them.
I like the Yule Log. I hope this pan makes it easier. Might go fancy and make meringue mushrooms and all.
I usually like Christmas cookies like others have said. Like nurse said above, I do the same. I make multiple types and hand out as gifts. Sometimes I have swayed to different types of fudge or toffee and other candies and truffles. One year I did different types of biscotti.
This year I will hand out the bundt cakes to family members.

What kind of warped ego do you have to have to drop $1M building a replica of the Oval Office in your home?
The guy's as maniacal as Robert "KKK" Byrd having the Senate Majority Leader's office replicated for him in a Senate Office Building (at our expense) once he left that post.

Your favorite 90s movies are almost certainly wrong. There are three quintessentially 90s movies:
- So I Married an Ax Murderer
- Gross Pointe Blank
- Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead
Honorable mention goes to "Austin Powers" but it doesn't make the cut.

when my kids were little, I used to make at least 8 different types of Christmas cookies. I'd start just after Thanksgiving, and bake a couple kinds every weekend and freeze them. Then I would buy plates at an antique store and arrange an assortment of cookies and give them to teachers and co workers and friends. so fun.

For reasons that probably don't make sense to anybody, including me, I always get Fincher and Christopher Nolan mixed up.
One of them makes movies I generally like, the other is an increasingly insipid hack, making what I suppose he thinks are intellectual films that bore me too much to think about as much as others do.

It's a fine movie, but we're so far removed from this thing being judged as just a movie, it's supposed to represent something, and honestly, I can't be made to care.
It's fine. The story's interesting, it's well acted, the pacing is fine, the sets, the lighting, the cinematography, it's all fine.
But it's just a movie. It ain't all that. Or as they say, it's no Citizen Kane.

That is what I did at the time. And I was so stoked with Wild Hunt that I was determined to Day 1 their next offering. I'm usually not that dedicated to living as a gangsta, but 2077 promises so much content and replayability that I couldn't resist.

It's fine. The story's interesting, it's well acted, the pacing is fine, the sets, the lighting, the cinematography, it's all fine.
But it's just a movie. It ain't all that. Or as they say, it's no Citizen Kane.
Posted by: BurtTC
I think the dealio with Citizen Kane was that it was so iconic, and it began a lot of movie "memes" that have been copied and repeated so many times, and we have seen them in TV shows and other movies, that when you do actually see it "now", it doesn't at seem remarkable. I think it was when it came out, but now it a lot of the ideas that were original then, have been copied so much, we just see it and go...."meh".
Just my hackneyed theory.

It is very well shot and acted, and at the time it was relevant- sort of like all the films using thin OrangeManBad as villains.
Problem is once society moved on and the loss of focus on its OrangeManBad protagonist faded it loses some of its punch.
Good thing that won't happen with current films! (I kid, 90% of current films are passing things that few expect to be remembered in 5 years unless they are part of a "franchise")

Casablanca was the same for me the first time I saw it. So many lines are iconic and parodied, that it makes a first viewing of the movie more like watching a camp comedy.
My opinion has changed, of course. Good movie, for its time and place.

Yup.
The Sight and Sound Poll is like any list of movies you come across: It's a suggested list for viewing. People puff them up, but that's all they really are.
And you know what? Deciding to watch everything that has appeared in the Top 10 of the Sight and Sound poll since 1952 would be an interesting cinematic journey to undertake.

I think you're very much correct.
I'm trying to think of more recent parallels, and the one that comes to mind is the first Jurassic Park. The extent to which they were able to seamlessly incorporate the CGI into the rest of the film, it was perhaps one of the most revolutionary films of recent years.
And I think people love that movie, because the whole stands up for itself, without having to rely on its having been an original, with many imitators.
Kane though... the story is... it's just alright. Everything else about it, the things we have kinda know about movie making, in order to appreciate it, I think that's not our fault if we don't quite appreciate it as much as we "should."

Dr. Strangelove and Lawrence of Arabia are my main reasons.
I saw Mr. Smith goes to Washington also 20ish years ago, and didn't think much of it then and am only even more politically cynical now so I wonder how that will hold up.
Have never seen Gandhi, was watching ET at the time instead (somehow, despite being -9 years old).
I like a League of Their Own, but not sure how it got lumped in this set. Maybe they needed a 90's movie and wanted to fluff Tom Hanks?
Also Jerry McGuire, which I liked the one time I saw it, have never bothered since and imagine it his here to fluff Tom Cruise, but the excuse would be Cuba Gooding Jr's Oscar (before he fell off the cliff).

I'm waiting for them to release those individually.
I don't need Jerry Mcguire, A League of Their Own, or Ghandi.
I mostly just want that 4K of Lawrence of Arabia to replace my old DVD.

Sorry to hear that. Any good therapies? My sister has Rheumatiod Arthritis, got it in her 30's after exposure to mold followed by a high fever. For a while she looked to alternative methods of controlling the pain (very CA methods).
