@ATRightMovies Or the proper version Weird Al "My Bologna"

My Sharona in REALITY BITES. The same year, Tarantino wanted to use the song in his new film. The Knack guitarist Berton Averre said they had to choose between soundtracking Winona Ryder dancing or the pawn shop gimp scene in Pulp Fiction...

@ATRightMovies Last Of The Mohicans

@TheCinesthetic My dad's favorite movie so it holds a special place for me

A movie that's in your top 25 list but unlikely to be in anyone else's?

@TheCinesthetic My favorite comedy, seen it countless times

Filming this scene in MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN, the actors playing the Roman soldiers weren't told what Michael Palin was going to say or do, they were just told they weren't to laugh.

@SamaHoole I made chicken broth today to make some soup. Once I got to the soup stage I threw a stick of butter in, amped up the flavor and texture

The single most important thing you can do for your diet is to stop being frightened of animal fat. Not moderate it. Not be open to it. Not carefully allow a little of it back in, with a wary eye and a calorie app. Chase it. Maximise it. Make it the point. Choose the fattiest cut available. Buy the 20% mince, not the 5%. Pick the lamb shoulder over the lamb leg. Request the ribeye with the fat cap intact. Ask the butcher for the suet. Fry the eggs in the bacon fat. Roast the potatoes in the dripping your grandmother would have kept in a jar on the cold shelf. Animal fat is the fuel. It is the flavour. It is the whole point of the meat. The muscle is, in the grand scheme, the packaging. The fat is the cargo. It carries the vitamins A, D, E and K2. It carries the hormonal precursors. It carries the satiety that keeps you full until tomorrow and the flavour that makes dinner worth sitting down for. Your fear of it is not ancient. Your fear of it is sixty years old and came out of a boardroom in Ohio at Procter and Gamble in 1911, and was finished being installed by a Minnesota researcher called Ancel Keys in the 1960s, and was sold to your mother in a cereal advert in the 1980s, and was handed to you on a leaflet in a GP's waiting room in the 2000s. The craving for it is older than language. Older than the species. Older than the genus. You come from a line of animals that followed herds across continents specifically to get at the fat inside them. The marrow in the long bone. The brain in the cracked skull. The belly fat of the reindeer. The tail fat of the sheep. The blubber of the seal. Every culture that had access to it prized it above everything else on the animal, and the cultures that had the most of it produced the tallest, strongest, clearest-skinned, best-toothed humans in the archaeological record. The fear is rented. The craving is yours. Evict the tenant. Listen to the landlord.

@TheCinesthetic Monty Python's Meaning Of Life

What do you think is the most iconic eating scene in cinematic history?

@TheCinesthetic The Mirror Of Galadriel

What's the greatest "mirror" scene you've ever seen?

Red 4 Life. Brandon Phillips will sign a one-day contract on April 25 and retire a Cincinnati Red!

@mikemoviez Gran Turino. The ultimate get off my lawn energy

Polls are still f'd up so I'm continuing this format temporarily. Which of these three Clint Eastwood performances do you like most? Not the movie itself, just his performance.

@TheCinesthetic Chernobyl

What tv show is 10/10 with less than 40 episodes?

RT and ❤️ for a chance to win a signed Dexter Lawrence II Bengals helmet!

What actor that is beloved that you can't stand? *hot take*

What's the best moment where a character REALIZES something? I’ll start:

@SamaHoole Lamb is my go to protein when I get Indian food

Some corners of the internet have started calling lamb land salmon. Hear them out. Omega-3s, CLA, zinc, B12, iron, selenium, complete protein. From an animal that spent its life on a fell in Cumbria eating grass, without a manufactured pellet anywhere in the picture. The CLA is the headline. Conjugated linoleic acid, higher in pasture-raised lamb than almost anything else on the shelf. You cannot synthesise it. You cannot extract it from a plant. The lamb makes it in its rumen from the grass, and then you eat the lamb. That is the entire supply chain. The zinc bioavailability is higher than beef. Meaningfully higher than the zinc in pumpkin seeds, which queues behind phytates and arrives at a fraction of what the label claims. The Texel ewe on the north fell did all of this on grass and rain, at four hundred metres, without supplements or certification or anyone's feeding programme. One of the most nutrient-dense meats on earth. Somehow the one you forgot to put in the basket. Put it in the basket.

@TheCinesthetic Wallace getting shot on The Wire

What was the most shocking scene you've ever seen on a show?

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

@DonHelbig Riding back in the woods when it was dark was primo

On this date in 1979, The Beast at Kings Island was officially, and quite appropriately, “unchained” in a steady downpour during a press event for hundreds of media representatives from around the U.S. and Great Britain, and made its highly-anticipated public debut the following day. Have you dared to come face-to-face with The Beast—the longest wooden roller coaster in the world?

The Wire was full of amazing quotes. What’s your favorite?

@TheCinesthetic Lust For Life is completely Trainspotting.

What song instantly makes you think of the movie it was featured in?

@_CinemaHub_ @TheCinesthetic I knew the Red Wedding was coming and Joeffrey. This was a complete mind fuck

@TheCinesthetic "Hold the door!"

What was the saddest death in any TV series?
