i think i changed my life permanently when i added tandoori masala to my butter chicken i normally make. I used to only add in a sweet yellow curry spice mix but i've started throwing in a second one and it just makes the whole thing so much punchier and well rounded.

For real I think there’s a 25 minute video essay with SOURCES to be made about the original 1930s action comics Superman run and 2022’s ANDOR and cultural contexts of casting a Moses narrative in a pop culture format that explicitly utilizes the language and experience of comic world!Jewish and space!latine exile and diaspora during times of risingly fascist xenophobic anti immigrant rhetoric

My friend and I went to see Saltburn and went in completely blind (typically we read the whole storyline prior to going). We were not expecting all of that. We agreed that Choices™️ were made that we wouldn’t have made ourselves, haha.
So interested to hear your thoughts if you want to share 🩷
Oh gosh, yeah, haha, I feel like going in blind must've been a bit of a shock.
I kinda knew what to expect because a friend of mine had already told me it was 'if Talented Mr Ripley was dumb' and I'd seen a bit of the press for it so was expecting certain scenes, and look - - I was just commenting to @nakedmonkey, but I do think the worst crime a movie can commit is to be boring, and I don't think it was boring, so it had that going for it at the very least, haha.
Some of the performances were fun (Rosamund Pike in particular is always great), but overall, I just think it was just a really shallow film that was less interested in character arcs or relationships than it was in shock value. It flirted with these rich themes of class and race, power, attraction and intimacy, control and freedom, and it just chose the cheap shot every time. It was more interested in making the audience gasp or cringe than it was in actually having the characters evolve or devolve in a way that - - y'know, told a compelling story, and any shift in a dynamic was handled so limply that it had no real emotional impact.
I don't know. I still had enough fun watching it (my cinema was packed and the audience skewed pretty young, and their response was hilarious), but I just ultimately don't think it had as much to say as it pretended it did.
