Anyway, summary:
Galaxy Quest didn't cost much to make so it's initial box office run was actually a financial success. Even before the cult following that built up later.
And the list of awards and nominations from the science fiction community is actually quite impressive. It was a love poem to science fiction fans, and it was very well received by them.
I wonder if it's on Netflix here.
...yessssss it is
Correct. You'll also note that I only talked about Jiro Ono. As a general rule, one does not find Michelin stars in a cracker jack box. One of the requirements for Michelin stars is consistency which comes from attention to detail. You can't merely be amazing one night. You have to be amazing all of the time. That's why I mentioned Alain Ducasse, who also has picked up three Michelin stars. And really when you watch any chief at that level, consistency and attention to detail is a requirement. The same with master woodworkers. Or shipwrights.
You'll note that I didn't say all sushi chiefs were amazing gods of cooking. I didn't say most of them. I was referring to a single one. But I understand where you came from. It's the internet and god forbid you actually read what you're responding to. Or ask a question. It might slow down your response time for saying silly goose things.
By the way, I also finished a documentary on Senna. So if you need another quick shot, do feel free to just assume I think all Brazilians are amazing race car drivers.

Holy shit it is?
I remember rewatching it shortly after my initial run of Mass Effect 2, recognizing his voice, and trying to rack my brain in an effort to remember whether or not he says "big goddamn heros" during the course of the film.
I forced my mother to watch it. She was all "waaahhh I don't even like star trek blah blah"
Of course she was rollin the whole time and loved it.
It's interesting to me that Japanese culture is capable of producing multiple viewpoints on that particular point. My main pet hate for people talking about Japan, whether Japanese people or not, is the idea that it's monolithic - that they're the Borg. But many Japanese people satirise those who mythologise Japanese culture. While still partaking of it themselves, of course. Just people. Lots of different people. LOTS of different people.
And I'm sure Jiro himself would laugh at that satirical sushi video, and that the makers would love his food and restaurant.
I am just wondering now if I am going to be able to go there ever, or if the popularising from the movie will make it completely impossible.
landed during a Polish festival, which has been fun, as they closed the street and there was beer. Although I have been awake for nearly 24 hours!
I am drinking Polish wodka in honor of my Polish heritage
Although the Polish liquor part isn't really important as the drinking liquor part in that regard
Don't worry about it. Canada's a weird place, the days are 30 hours there thanks to metrification.
I'm sure he would laugh at that video, he struck me as a man with a sense of humor. Also a man who isn't a big believer in overly rigid customs. He mentions being told that nothing new could be done with sushi and then doing new things with it. It ultimately seemed like he wanted to simply create a beautiful experience for his customers. I'm fairly sure some guy doing sushi on a conveyer belt probably doesn't care quite as much. Or the guy doing it in the supermarket probably may not care at all. But Jiro clearly does quite passionately.
And it's a documentary. It might bump up his traffic and you have to do reservations a month in a half instead of a month but I suspect you could still get in.
I mean, seriously... who the fuck does that? Wtf?!
I peed on someone's door my freshman year of college.
It was a combination of copious amounts of alcohol and revenge because they had peed on my friends' door. Unfortunately, in my drunken stupor I got the wrong door.
I gotta be honest I see some really beautiful sushi even at the supermarket here. There's clearly a lot of effort put into it even when it's $4.99 for a tuna roll. You work with what you have to work with, I guess.
Being that I'm in a landlocked state I'm always skeptical. I've broken down and eaten some on multiple occasions (mostly drunken) and it's been okay and I never suffered for it. Damn does it look nice when it's 11pm and you're hammered.
Doesn't compare to the good sushi joints here where you won't walk out for under $40, but the presentation is usually close enough.
fuck
It is basically the worst thing.
Also, cheevo cheeved, thanks jaykub

Invite me to the parties, chick
Yeah, I can agree here.
Yeah, at no point did that game actually look good.
She'd invite you but you'd just attack the host and then the crowd would turn on the both of you and she'd lose her diamond sword.

If zombie pigmen didn't want to be attacked then they shouldn't be so ugly.
But the "typical fantasy" tropes from RPGs are not really tolkienesq. They are more based on all those writers who came after him either in imitation or reaction.
edit: Warhammer in particular is very, very influenced by Moorcock (like, nearly to the point of plagarism) while D&D is very Jack Vance.
/grrrr, fkn fall-out from prohibition
I like how the second reply has a busty furry avatar.
Do not let her massive tits nor her shapely snout distract you from her intellect.
I was kind of bummed about missing out on the new Sim City because of Origin
now I can happily ignore the new Sim City because of Origin
Oh internet
But I think I just kind of want to play vidya games.
