    In terms of the overall message and theme of the film, I can unequivocally say this. There's more passion and better flavor in some of the dishes I make myself in my home kitchen, or in the $6 bowl of chicken noodle soup made by the babushka who runs my local greasy spoon, than there is in some of the fancier joints I've paid big money for the privilege of dining at. The burnout of trying to climb the gastronomic ladder is often worse than climbing the corporate one. At least the latter usually only flogs you for 40-50 hours a week and offers health insurance.

      The ending was terrible. It got progressively less interesting as it became more definite what was going on. I think if they had been able to leave more ambiguity it would have been better overall, but then again I hate resolutions. In real life nothing is ever resolved.

        • So, on topic of The Menu- Noma in cooenhagen, considered the top restaurant in the world, is closing end of 2024. They’ve been caught working people crazy hours and not paying interns in recent years, chef says it’s just not a sustainable model.

          as someone who doesn’t pay $400 to eat sea foam, I don’t care.

          all these top chefs are grueling to work for. all of them. My cousin worked under Ripert for over a decade and can be a real dick himself, i think.

              That's not true. Your life has a resolution you can count on.

                Let's call it an end state. It doesn't tie up the loose ends even though it ends the universe.

                • Enemy of the State is on FX tonight. Still can't believe this 1998 film feels so fresh.


                  Lucky writing by Tony Scott, Jerry Bruckheimer, and David Marconi; or was it similar to Tom Clancy where a couple unofficial sources passed along useful information?

                      • Really? Will Smith is awful in that film and half the time it seems Hackman is mailing it in. The script is very relevant, but the execution bored me to tears. Hated it in the theaters...tried it again a year ago and could not make it through the whole thing in one sitting.

                              Why so?

                              perhaps they are playing into the character??
