@DennisGarbonz Thin-sliced marinated & seasoned lamb stacked onto a vertical spit. Ancestor of al pastor, which was created when Lebanese immigrants came to Mexico bringing and adapting shawarma for pork.
@CptStepFalcon@WingDingsKirk@KielJohal It’s obvious I don’t think he’s the auteur others do. Perhaps I’ll come around.
Johnson trying to do something fresh is not inherently wrong. But I don’t think he’s a “group project” guy and I can’t think of anybody who ought to know that better than himself.
@WingDingsKirk@KielJohal I don’t disagree but I would contend that doing so in the second entry of a trilogy was not an inconsequential decision. Subversive, even. Which is entirely the point being spoken to.
The visual beauty and overall craft of the film makes the narrative recklessness frustrating.
@Thickwater45@MarcoMacabre The Beatles albums are not all great and Nevermind also isn’t great. It has nothing to do with being performative as much as it has to do with also being able to appreciate the Everly Brothers and the Jesus Lizard as the former two bands obviously and respectively did.
@TheUfoJoe Pre-emptive BS in anticipation of the obvious & inevitable “if we have advanced tech why aren’t we decisively winning military engagements?” rebuttal.
@robkroese Perhaps they understood that their death would not be in vain; that one day someone of their child’s generation might use it to desperately grasp at some moral high ground on the internet.
@afterglow2046 Man’s reasons for the changes were compelling enough for me to be completely fine with them. Taking parts of the film away deepened a theme that was undermined by the original ending. The consequences of undercover work are more front & center.
@ChrisExpTheNews What’s weird is not that there are people who liked or disliked this movie and simply moved on with their lives.

Normies are hating on this take, but he's 100% correct.
The bottom 2% is worse than the top 2%. You fund their welfare, their prison cell, their ER visit, their broken kids, and you're not even safe walking down the street because they have zero regard for anyone but themselves.
@Widge0 Get the NOLO guide to tenants rights from your local library and look it over. Landlords can bank rent increases and if you know your total sq ft incl your garage and divide your rent by that you can calculate whether a jump in rent for refusing his offer is worth it.
@Always_Serpico@dawnofthediscs Yes.
Saw it in the theater when it came out, thought it was alright. Saw it again 6-7 years ago. Liked it a lot more. Watched it again last month. Absolutely love it.
@bloodoftheland At best, one could argue artists exercise unilateral control of their art only in the process of creation, which in many cases (such as patronage) isn’t even true. Artistic sensibility grows and changes over time making it impossible to truly honor past intentions.
