That's just great about the Army Stew. Don't forget to use American cheese!


I'm going to have to make that one of these days. It's a Korean classic! I
saw a Korean movie about an attempted coup in North Korea. Uncle Un is
seriously injured and has to be smuggled into the South to safety. A N.
Korean agent is traveling through a town in the South and sees all the army
stew restaurants and says it shows the South's intention to invade the
North. It's a pretty good movie - if you like Korean movies.

Does the south intend to invade the north? Now or is this old stuff?

Probably not. My guess is that both sides believe that the other side planning to invade their side. My guess is that the North is probably feeling a bit paranoid about the situation since they're they're mostly all meth heads.

I'm just patiently waiting for chicken katsu to take over the world's cuisine. It's vitally important that you serve it with katsu sauce.

I can't say that I can be concerned about the beliefs of other people. My guess is that that the same is true for you. Mostly, you just say stuff like that to be provocative. I have neither time nor inclination to play that game.

Chicken flattened out to an even thickness, dredged in flour, dipped in
egg, dredged in bread crumbs/panko, fried and served with a sweet sauce
....... chicken fingers. Try that with the hockey = surfing brain fart.

That's like saying that league bowling is exactly the same as beach volleyball except, for some inexplicable reason, they have different names.

BTW, don't listen to the old Japanee guy in the video who was steaming the lau lau. You can't steam lau lau in two hours. You need at least 7 hours but 10 hours would be better.

Dinner tonight was braised short-ribs. I added a small can of tomato sauce, some ketchup, 1/2 C of Korean pepper flakes, 3/4 C brown sugar, about a cup of wine. This was braised in a slow cooker for 5 hours.

If you can, watch "2001: A Space Odyssey" on a big screen HD TV on a Blu-ray disk. It will be as if you've never seen it before. It becomes apparent that Stanley Kubrick was uncompromising in his use of the finest films, cameras, and lenses, available in the 1960's. It's amazing to see - if you're interested in the technical aspects of filmmaking.

well I dont have a blu ray.. well more precisely I dont have one
hooked up. All I have is my smart TV that has like a million movies
available for free and I do have a USB port... What that means I can
download a copy (free) here
https://archive.org/details/video_20160419

put it on a thumb drive and watch it like that...

From what I could tell the quality was pretty high. My TV is 55 " does
that count as a big screen? IT is also UHD although this copy of 2001
is not UHD

Your reaction was not dissimilar to a lot of people's. I had mixed feelings about it when I saw it with my mom back in 68. What made the film memorable for me was that I saw it with my mom. My mom hardly ever took me to movies. I saw three movies with her. "Thunderball", "2001: A Space Odyssey", and "Bonnie and Clyde." Beats me why she took me to see those flicks. As far as I know, our family was not big on going to the movies. We actually kinda lived like monks.

I saw in cinerama in theatre in Toronto where it ran for 4 years.
About 2/3 of the way through the movie we had to evacuate the theatre
because of a big lumberyard fire nearby, so we got to see it again the
next night. I though it was great.

I can't believe how much the price of those things dropped. My DVD
player was something like $450. Then I got a BluRay player with Air
Miles. Somewhere along the way I got rid of the DVD player and replaced
it with a BluRay player that I picked up for about $50. Then I got an
XBox, and those things play BluRay discs.

It certainly does get artsy-fartsy at the end. I didn't much care for it either.

I dont think that graham is taking the movie for what it is. It is
more like an artistic film that represents what people thought the
year 2001 would be like. The movie is way to long has so much unneeded
video. But you always have to consider when it was made... There were
no computers to edit film. That crap had to be hand cut and taped.

I don't think that Kubrick was very much interested in actors and the craft of acting. One of my favorite directors, Yasujiro Ozu, would tell his actors, don't act, Just read your lines.

What about Dr Strangelove? I think it's one of the best films ever
made. Just amazing that it was ever made at all back in the early
1960's. It feels like it could have been made in 2019, it's timeless.

the last time i was in a movie theater was about 10 years ago, when i saw 'inception'. my brother liked it, but i thought it sucked.
