Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

My wife is 15 years younger than me, and all it's really done is given me the opportunity to introduce her to nerd cultural treasures she missed growing up in the 90s, like Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, and Krull.

"Your honor, he made me watch Krull."

"Give her whatever she wants!"

You all would die where i live, my town has a population around 13k and naturally since it's New Mexico we have Mexican but nothing beyond that other than fast food.

I hear you.

Living in backwater Japan, I was absolutely jumping with joy when the local supermarket got pita bread.

Thailand would like to have a word with you.

That’s fine. I wouldn’t understand them anyway. I don’t speak Thai.

It’s wonderful. It’s trash. But it’s still wonderful.

Those of us allergic to fish oil, among others, aren’t answering the phone. It gets really old sometimes explaining that “something that contributes to the aroma of normal Thai cooking makes me so sick I throw up and pass out” contains no hyperbole whatsoever. Then I get tired of explaining why I’m not interested in trying things dish by dish to find something that doesn’t make me throw up and pass out. So others have to enjoy share on my behalf, I guess.

I live in the middle of nowhere in California and I still have access to pho, bibimbap dolsat, curry, pad thai, sushi, to say nothing of all the wild hippie fusion nonsense that's everywhere in CA that's usually hit or miss but when it hits...

Some of the only good food that I can't get where I live is traditional korean bbq.

I’m in a suburb of Dallas, and it’s surprising how much the food culture in the area is developing. Not only are we getting a broad variety of cuisines, we’re seeing more cross-cultural and fusion restaurants opening.

"What do you mean you've never seen The Godfather?! It won three Oscars! It defined an entire genre!"
"Sorry, I was too busy watching The Goonies."
"It's not an either-or situation!"

Since you brought it up…

I wouldn’t just die, I’d open a multicultural dining experience and work myself to death.

You know, I remembered it poorly. But when we rewatched it, there was a lot to like! The damsel is not as passive as I'd remembered, and takes an active part in being rescued. The characters assembled by the hero are really quirky and interesting. And it has Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane in early roles! It was much better on a rewatch, and my wife really enjoyed it.

I actually don't care much for most mafia movies. Lots of "film people" don't seem to think that's a very valid opinion. Meanwhile, it seems perfectly acceptable to turn up noses to animation and horror.
