I made butternut squash mac and cheese a while ago. Didn’t turn out great but that was my fault. I like the idea of putting a sweet squash like delicata or honeynut in it, but proportions are important

I don’t recall that Hook-Ups board, but I was never a fan of Birdhouse/Hook-Ups. The yellow fever thing seemed like pretty much every Klein graphic after a certain point. I’ll have to look it up. I do remember Jim Greco wearing A Clockwork Orange t-shirt in some of his earliest footage. (Maybe from Asian Godess?) As much of a mimbo he was during the 00’s, he’s always seemed to have pretty decent taste in movies. He just put out a really sick Hammers board graphic that’s based around stills of Pierre Clémenti from Bell du jour (1967).

Sick observation dude, how did you know it was a still from that movie? Just that familiar with it? I'd be interested in hearing your top picks in a foreign film thread or something. Thanks for the insight, I'm gonna watch Belle du Jour when I get a chance.

I've watched an insane amount of movies and have been lucky enough to live close to actual video rental stores for the past 15 years or so. I'm a film buff, cinephile, cineaste, yadda yadda. Pierre Clémenti is a very distinct actor and I'm a fan, so it wasn't hard to spot. My favorite foreign director has been Rainer Werner Fassbinder for a long ass time, but I like all kinds of directors, genres, etc. Also super into genre cinema aka cult/exploitation/horror/sci-fi fantasy/film noir/action adventure/etc. I probably should get on the film threads.

PS - My profile thumbnail image is a character from one of my favorite Brian De Palma films, The Phantom of the Paradise (1974), which (if you haven't seen it) is totally bonkers and a lot of fun.

He killed it in Inglorious Basterds.

But no I personally have to throw in a vote for Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?

Yeah, Enfant Terrible (2020) is a biopic, not documentary, and it’s very stylized and fictional; it’s not factual at all, but it paints a very accurate picture and had fantastic music (Joachim Witt).

R.W. Fassbinder was crazy prolific, so you have like 40+ films to choose from depending on your access. Of the ones that are fairly easy to find on streaming, it looks like three of my absolute favorites are on HBO Max (just checked IMDB):

• Faustrecht der Freiheit (1975) aka Fox and His Friends - The second Fassbinder film I saw and the one that turned me into a devoted fan. It’s about a homosexual carny who wins the lottery and suddenly finds himself being courted by a den of gay upperclass vipers with expensive tastes in food, clothing, and interior decoration. Public restrooms are the great equalizer between this class divide.
• Satansbraten (1976) aka Satan’s Brew - His only “Comedy”… it’s super batshit crazy, weird, and funny if you like seeing a chubby, delusional, bisexual German writer/poet get humiliated, have bad sex, yell at people, and pretend to be a dead poet incarnate. It’s been described as “Father Knows Best on acid.” An excellent tagline.
• Die bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant (1972) aka The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant - Excellent lesbian melodrama that takes place entirely in one room of really posh, mid-century modern house. The direction, camerawork and acting really make this work, as it could have been very static and boring. It’s really stylish and there’s lots of madness, crying, abuse, and anguish in the name of love.

Ha. Good one. I didn’t wanna be that “actually” person. Ever since Michael Fassbender came onto the scene, it’s lead to a lot of confusion when fans of New German Cinema try to spread Fassbinder awareness.

Herr R. is a deep cut. Not for newbies, not available on streaming and OOP on DVD, so hard to find. It’s great though. Modern middle class mensch tries to cope with the pressures of banal, everyday existence.

Could have browned it for longer but this was a baked Mac I made some time ago. For someone that never cooks something that takes more than 30 minutes I did pretty well I think. The camera quality kinda makes it look like shit.

It kind of looks like a photograph of Jupiter.  Got the great red spot on the bottom left there.

Could also be a dude screaming in agony as a giant bear claw is crushing his head.

Kraft Mac and Cheese is a complete and utter disgrace to pasta. I tried a Kraft box once, the salted taste of that chemical cheese sauce still haunts me in my dreams.

Yo. Really good shit. Thanks for the recommendations. I haven't seen anything by Fassbinder. Best I could do is something like N Took The Dice or I mean I always love Seventh Seal. Do you have a Criterion Collection subscription or what brah? Honestly I don't consume that much anymore besides the internet and it's lazy and a shame but that's just where I'm at. I don't know anything about the Slap film threads but maybe I'll see ya on there, who knows?

Nah. I own, or have owned, a few hundred Criterion Collection DVDs/Blu-rays/4Ks. The channel is excellent, but because I buy so much physical media, I can’t justify an annual or monthly subscription. I won’t end up taking advantage of it.

@Nowavecomply are you from Austin or Seattle or something?

Haha. No, but kinda close. I live in Pasadena (LA County), but from Denver, Colorado and Dallas, Texas.

I really need to take this to the movie threads.

You could mash it, and put it on top before baking. Like a bastard-shepherd's pie. Not sure it'd work but maybe worth a shot.

Oh man. I love shepherd's pie. It was a fall/winter favorite growing up and my mom's was/is super good. My wife makes a really good vegetarian version too.

GH should know all about shepherd's pie, seeing as he's English 'n' that. All roads lead back to the topic.

I've do some mushroom and lentil riffs on them that are always awesome. Good for winter time.

I made an absolute banger of a creamy mushroom pasta sauce tonight.  Super easy and hugely delicious. 


Pop on your spaghetti
Fry your mushrooms in some butter & pepper tilll golden brown
Chuck in some minced garlic for the last minute
Put em aside.
Drain your spaghetti 2 minutes early, v al dente.
Same pan, pop some butter & flour in & get it goin'
Pop in a cup of milk
whisk it tilll its smooth
chuck in the pasta
chuck in the mushrooms
cook it down a bit
chuck in some parmesan
salt
fuckin' banger.

[breezer]

I use a Jacques Pepin recipe for Mac n cheese - roast the breadcrumbs in the oven and once cooled stir in chopped chives and grated parmesan - sprinkle over you mac'n'cheese - nice and easy.

But I do not support this:

[WavyDavy]

Did some pasta with feta, tofu and yeast flakes. was surprised by the cheesiness
tofu and yeast with some spices is a great veggie alternative to cheese

I work with a chick who legit only eats mac and cheese. She's 23 and rather attractive. Her pheromones smell like Kraft products.

Yes. I can attest to both its tastiness and bowel-evacuating potential. I use Cholula instead of Sriracha though.

I'd say that's pretty unattractive and gross, but you're kinda describing my wife. Her other "shame" is enjoying Domino's pizza and salad (especially the latter) on the regular.
