When you realize that Woodward came from the political world, it all makes sense. Spend a frick-ton of other people's money without any regard for actually delivering promised outcomes. But hey, we did get a women's gymnastics championship, so that's a nice woke badge for this jackass.

The movie is fine for what it's trying to do: illustrate how quickly things can get crazy. Not sure how you could market it better, but obviously the marketing left people disappointed. I'm surprised they let a Black president get overwhelmed by the pressure. I was expecting a Magical Negro to solve the problem. Kathryn Bigelow is a legit director with several hits to her name (Hurt Locker, Point Break).

Production design was the best I’ve seen in a while. The FX were mediocre. Pascal was terribly miscast as Reed Richards, IMO. Enjoyed it overall.

All food YouTubers seems to reach a point of self-parody that results from thinking they are entertainers instead of educators. It's sad.

All of the Kelly seasons were wasted to some degree. LSU always seems to have one unit in top form while the other two struggled to some degree.

Emeril’s was good years ago but has been a disaster since he hung it up and handed it off to his son. Sorry, I don’t want to spend $240 a head so I can NOT choose what I eat (fixed menu) and the items are two inches diameter but served on a 24 inch plate. Also BRING BACK THE BBQ SHRIMP. The old Emeril’s promised the bbq shrimp would “never leave the menu” and guess what, they’ve left the menu.

And here is why New Orleans didn’t get many stars in a nutshell. :lol:

Pretty much what I expected, but I am a little surprised at Saint Germain and Zasu. I think Michelin rounded up there to give them a star to blunt criticism of their overall perspective on New Orleans. Emeril's has come on fast and getting a ton of national recognition lately. I find generally that New Orleans restaurants can have great food, but generally don't have the service, plating, or ambiance that other Michelin restaurants deliver. Not necessarily a knock. The Michelin experience can be too much a lot of the time. I think you have to experience a few of them to get the idea of what Michelin is actually ranking.

Pretty sure something like this happened at the old Don’s restaurant in downtown Lafayette, back in the late 70’s or early 80’s. Somebody got served bleach in a water glass.

B-. Not a Landry guy.

I’ll always treasure the memory of our 2024 gymnastics championship and it was totally worth destroying our football and men’s basketball in exchange. Lifetime memories. Good luck to you sir in your future endeavors!
