I get it with the slaw but then take about 50% of it off because they put way too much on. What’s your go to Primanti’s order?

 

This is why I don’t go in the food thread you all of tastebuds of preteens

 

Capicola, double meat, no slaw, add egg.

 

I like it, I’ve been on a roast beef kick myself

 

A girl I used to know from Pittsburgh swore by the cap and egg and ripped me a new one for having ordered the cheesesteak. I blame Guy Fieri.

 

Getting something besides a proper Primantis sandwich from there is weird to me, lol. But, I guess sometimes you could end up there with someone else and not be in the mood for it. One of my friends last night ended up getting pizza.

 

I just ate a roast beef and got double meat because of Tim. Sometimes a few slices of their pizza is good but it depends on the location.

 

Is this pro or anti slaw?

 

Burn After Reading should be regarded among the upper-tier Coen movies.

 

Incredibly funny movie.

 

In a catalogue of greats I get why people don’t rank it as high all the time, but it’s my favorite Coen picture and one of my favorite comedies of all time tbh. A staple in the ol Letterboxd top four

 

Actually just rewatched it a couple months back and it holds up well.

 

Present in pretty much all Coen films is the meaningless of existence and a general light nihilism, but it really builds up in Burn After Reading because it is about the entire state security apparatus that had become so big in the years after 9/11 in which the film takes place. No one knows the difference between a real threat and a fake threat. They think Russia will buy the CD's like it is still the Cold War. Everyone is out for your life or your job.

Burn After Reading and Veep both suffer a little bit because real life politics started to meet the absurdity of what they presented, but the complete lack of regard for life or objective reality is both hilarious and a little scary.

 

never seen it

 

Correct your life.

 

I don't know where else to talk about this, but I watched Dark City tonight for the first time in a long time, and it is still just as B-movie glorious as I remembered. The art direction, the villains, Rufus Sewell, and William Hurt are all top notch.

Not so notch: The special effects are hilarious (radar gun noise), whatever verbal tic Keifer Sutherland was doing through the whole movie was ill advised, and Jennifer Connolly is so unemotive it hurts.

I compared her out loud to Liv Tyler's usual delivery and then I remembered that they both at one point in time have played Betsy Ross in Hulk movies, which is wild.
