Whatcha watching?

[fig]

Ever since I figured out I could watch YouTube vids on the big screen in the living room, I barely watch anything else.

I watch a lot of cooking videos, and I ran across Pasquale Sciarappa from his ORSARA RECIPES YouTube channel. I wanna be this guy when I grow up:



And while searching for Texas recipes from my kid days growing up there, I ran across Cowboy Kent Rollins, one hell of a trail cook. Want to know how to make dead perfect chicken fried steak? Ask an Oklahoma cowboy, particularly THIS one:



Plus Kent has exhaustive how-to's about cooking and maintaining cast-iron cookware.

Two of my more favorite gastrogasmic delights.

There was a flea market near us (closed now) that had a really good Italian Sausage sub I'd buy (along with a beer), every visit. I asked about his seasoning. Equal amounts of salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning. I use that now liberally on the sausage while baking and with the bell pepper slices, onions, etc, while cooking.

Also learned many countries and regions have their own similar versions of chicken fried steak. Scroll down a bit to start the list...

We watched The Night House (2021). Enjoyed this psychological/horror film. The actress, Rebecca Hall, was excellent in it, IMO. From the previews, I thought there were doppelgangers in it, which I really wasn't interested in. Fortunately, no doppelgangers stuff.

My wife is from West Texas and is our resident expert on chicken fried steak. I, of German ancestry, take on the schnitzel duties. I take issue with the article claiming they are "nearly identical". If done well, they are each their own wonderful thing.

Love Lies Bleeding on Max. I'd heard good things about it, plus it's an A24 release, which usually means it'll be decent. Not with this one. Underdeveloped characters, thin plot, and not as violent/disturbing as the reviews claimed. It has an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, which I do not understand.

Alien with the kiddo. It's so awesome he's old enough now to watch some of my favorite movies with him.

"Sounder"

Still one of the best movies I've ever seen, and the best movie about a black family I've ever seen. The father-son relationship is outstanding and heartwarming.

Gin, there was a great migration of Germans to Central TX in the 1800's. Of course, they brought schnitzel with them but . . . . beef was WAY more available in Central TX and over time it morphed into beef with a flour-only coating (and a heavier dish) than OG schnitzel recipe. They established many butcher shops, and as a result, needed to find ways to move the slower selling product, so they began one side of the Texas BBQ story we have today, with places like the Kreutz market still in business today in Lockhart, still hewing to tradition serving on brown paper with crackers and no sauce for their meats.

KREUZ MARKET

A Lockhart legacy — Kreuz Market brings the smoke with over a century of flavor. Our world-famous Texas BBQ is smoked to perfection over post oak wood in our signature pits. Let's eat!

Funny you would mention this. I had little good to say about YT when I only had it on my phone. It was mostly for “how to” vids when I was working on my old truck.
These days I’m streaming on a TV and I’m using the crap out of YT. Mostly wood turning vids. I do some simple turning to make fly reel seat inserts, but I’m binging on the complicated projects were massive numbers of small parts are cut and glued together, then encased in epoxy and turned. I’m also using it to play mix vids when I’m busy doing something around the house. I just search a <band> <mix> then pick one and select play all. So far the ads have not been annoying enough to need addressing, not to mention I’ve got enough streaming subscriptions.

Saw a 2010 mild comedy cowboy movie last night called, Gunless. A Canadian filmed movie. Light weight comedy and kind of highlights the mentality and different cultures of America and Canada in a joking way.

Ultimately, the movie ends with a positive moral message about getting along with other people.

A very different kind of western and was enjoyable to watch. Recommended.

Watched in on Tubi for free. (Commercial breaks!!!)

Like Shane with whimsy, Gunless takes the hoary old template of the gunfighter movie and gives it an utterly Canadian spin based on our comfort myth of niceness ...

The latest Mission Impossible on Prime Video was a fun ride that kept my interest.

 

[definenredefine]

Land of Bad. An action movie, a combat thriller, yes, both of those things. But also an interesting juxtaposition between the soldiers in the field and the surveillance/attack drone operators. That part of it elevates the movie above similar pictures.

 

[WG Plum]

Deadpool & Wolverine. It's totally fun.

I liked it when I saw it in the theater. I watched it again and lowered my opinion. I think I gave it a pass at the time because people were leaving the theater during a particular scene with squelching sounds and I found that very amusing.

I'm not sure if it's me or the general quality of what's being released lately, but every time I see a well-reviewed movie that seems up my alley, I finish it and think "that's it?"

With this one, I think any public negative reviews from people who earn a living reviewing movies would be looked at as un-woke hatemongering.

You know what movie doesn't suck? Wolverine Origins.

It's not great but it's not awful either. Hugh Jackman is as good as he ever was at playing the character. Liev Schreiber was great. The guy who plays Stryker was great. The guy from the Black Eyed Peas was awful, but he's not an actor. The guy who played Gambit was fine. Maybe it doesn't make any sense as far as continuity with the other movies, but it was entertaining. I like this one better than the one he did years later where he goes to Japan.

Yeah, possibly. Next on my list is Challengers. Again, I’ve heard good things, but I’m not optimistic.

 

[Gorn]

Also style and no substance. Three unlikeable main characters. Pretentious cinematography. Unnecessary zooming into things. That movie annoyed me.

Shaq in the float cage when that little shark jumped in was a show stopper.

No idea what that is. And no idea what the show I'm gonna talk about is. But I surfed into a show about some Kiwis who drop nets around schools of tuna and herd them off to Japan for a living. Constant battle with sharks all the way. Small ones they just jumped in and threw them out over the net. Big ones had to be chased out through cuts in the net that then had to be quickly sown up again. Seems keeping tuna alive right up to the market makes them valuable enough to justify all the effort. No idea of the distances involved

Possibly the craziest doco I've seen on TV.
