Didn't like his shows IRL, I won't watch this.
It's really completely removed from his adult persona. In fact, it could actually be the sequel to THE HOLDOVERS after he graduates from the prep school. His early years are the inspiration for the coming of age telling, only at the end do you feel the Bourdain of it.

It really is a nice little film and coming of age story. I am a big fan of AB, so was excited about this when it started prepping last year in Cape Cod. You never feel like you are bogged down in the AB mythology. It could really be the story of any rock n roll chef.
It is shot really well and is funny with great locations and detail to the time period. Banderas, Sessa and the rest are really fantastic. And the music.
Highly recommended.

re: Watched Hotel Mumbai last night on Netflix and highly recommend it.

thanks for the recommendation ... I watched it last night and before TD, had never heard of it. I didn't recall the real life attacks either.
Nicely directed, especially considering the amount of violence and action .... the stage sets looked a bit flat, but maybe that was intentional to contrast the Mumbai exteriors.
I enjoyed it .... and Jason Isaac's accent was decent. And the terrorists actors were really good.

I've worked on five productions in SE Asia and love it. My plan is to retire in Thailand or Vietnam.
The Last Seduction (1994)
Cleveland doesn't get enough credit as a city ... great music scene, museums, a sports town, cooler summers and some decent food (better than Pittsburgh for food IMO). And it's easy to get around.
Funny when someone from some shite town in the south dismisses Detroit, Cleveland etc without ever stepping foot in them.

I took a movie in BR last spring and most certainly did not love the the script, but liked the paycheck. It happens.
re: Anyone ever flown QSuites?

I’ve done Doha to LAX a few times …. Feels much shorter up front and don’t sleep on the gift bags they have ready in the suite

What's the route ?

I've flown 16 legs for work in the Q's and its heavenly. I'm 6'5" and stretched out nicely on the lay flat. Food and cocktail/wine list is amazing. And if you layover in Doha, the pool and gym in the airport are incredible. As are the lounges.
Any long haul to Asia, I always request it. Even if flying from LA, which adds a few hours through Doha.

re: Rarely watched US version of The Office but someone explain to me how Jim ditched this...
Posted by JW on 8/1/26 at 11:49 am to drizztiger
"Pam" and her kid go to the same gymnastics spot as my girlfriend's daughter. I can guarantee that Jim would be with Quincy's daughter these days.
And Sessa is clearly a star ...
and to think he was a very late casting for the HOLDOVERS from one of the high schools scouted for filming.

Probably a Stiller thing. He knows he has Apple in his pocket after the success. He has other things and can take his time.
He's lightened up a bit, but historically difficult.
that's probably the main reason.
Is the setting the same from season 1 to 2? If that's the case, I'm sure those sets were sitting ready in Queens or Jersey. So yeh.... for that show, it could be considered a bit much, especially with a few actors.
I stand humbly corrected

I need to watch this show. But you aren't wrong really. I recall distinctly a prop person in 2021 telling me about the show as they had wrapped a month earlier.
It destroyed our team at the Emmy's for production design. Hallways included.

I haven't read the book, but will pick it up soon.
JD Dillard (creator/director) is a solid dude and passionate about this material.
They had a great production design team and shot in Japan/London, so it should look amazing. The trailer certainly hints as much.

absurd ?
It takes what it takes for a reason.
These are essentially four movies rolled into one, so it's months of editing, color correction, vfx work and score. That's at least 6 months added to what can be 6 months to a year of filming. Then to do it again adds more time to assemble all actors schedules, stage space and locations, script approvals and casting takes time.
Real world example.
White Lotus Season 3 scouted asia in summer of 23 to early fall.
Prep began on the ground in Thailand in November.
Cameras rolled February 6th 2024
Cameras wrapped August 14th 2024
Editing, score, color correction etc until Christmas.
Premier Episode Feb 2025
Season Ended April 2025
That is almost a 2 year window for Season 3
Then the next season starts casting, location scouting, writing etc.

re: Give me your favorite movies set in or filmed in Louisiana

I would put Down by Law up there.
Monster's Ball, though I haven't seen it in a while.
And the only good Pitch Perfect (the first one and vested interest applies).

Yes. Creative/entertainment based.
Lux travel at times with decent money.
And generally three months off per year.

nice .... those were some good times on Chimes street/Highland and down the road at the Moon.
My girlfriend asked me about my favorite shows of all time and I think At The Drive In at the Moon was up there. Along with their Bayou show.
I was in BR for work over the spring and it was a bit sad to see both iconic local venues no longer. Especially the Bayou with it's abandoned pizza remnants and for lease sign.

They played in BR twice .... first at the Varsity in 1997? I don't recall the support act.
I booked them at the Moon a few years later. I recall it being a decent show, even if not a box office slam dunk.
