I've seen all of their films multiple times but decided to rewatch most of them in the past few months. Seemed like a perfect time for a ranking! This is pretty different than I would've expected before rewatching all of these, and will probably change again next time I watch them lol!
What do you think, and what's your ranking?
Trying to give the recent favorites some time before jumping into rewatches, but I'm pretty eager to find out if they hold up!!
Not necessarily unconventional pairings like pickles and peanut butter, but for example I think Avocado and Sriracha is a magical pairing. I don't even particularly like Sriracha in most things, but the sharp, funkiness and sweetness of Sriracha against the fatty richness of avocado is just beautiful.
I like to eat plain white rice with diced avocado drizzled with Sriracha. Last night I had that with two beyond breakfast sausage patties on top as well and it was almost too good.
I keep craving something crispy, salty, and oily lately but I never feel prepared to find a good recipe or try to improvise something. Plus I don't like deep frying, I'm not intimidated by it I just hate using and trying to save or wasting that much oil. I'd be happy with shallow frying, pan frying, or baking. I also don't have a food processor.
I have plenty of potato based options so not that, and not black bean burgers. Maybe something a little less dense than falafel.
I've been addicted to porn for more than half of my life at this point, but in the past 2 years I've discovered the dark, hyper addictive world of joining group chats, and it has completely broken my brain.
It's not just the dopamine of watching porn itself, it's a whole new thing. It's the act of looking for groups, hoping my join requests will get accepted, and once I'm in, it's the anticipation of what someone might post, not knowing what it might be. It's completely overwhelming and so stimulating and without getting into specifics I've been scarred by some of the shit people post but I conveniently lose sight of that part when I decide to look again.
I have a lock box for my phone that I'm supposed to put it in at the same time every night. I usually do but sometimes I trick myself into thinking I'm not tempted and I deserve to go on my phone for one night. I almost always fall off again without fail.
I feel like I need something new to stimulate my mind. I watch a lot of movies, I read, I go for walks, I spend time with my partner, I do chores.. unfortunately I'm too lazy to get into a workout routine and I don't think that alone will be sustainable even though I think that's the kind of thing I do need.
My favorites are all movies I've seen multiple times and have held up. Some of which overlap with my recents as you can see, but I've had so many excellent first time watches as well. The Love That Remains in particular.
The main similarities I can pinpoint is they heavily feature music, they're vibrant, they're about interesting subcultures, and they kind of function as time capsules for the 80s, 90s, and early 00s.
They're just so soft and cozy, but a little melancholy. It sounds like taking a really nice nap or being on painkillers lol.
Looking for similar music that's somewhere in a cross section between indie, folk, ambient, maybe even a little jazz influence. But not too folky. Soft guitar, layers of horns, electronic sounds, soft vocals. Lush but not in your face.
I've listened to plenty of Sufjan Stevens, Grizzly Bear, The Microphones, Fleet Foxes, none of them are quite what I'm in the mood for. What's closer is like Blithe Field, or maybe a few songs from Talk Talks last two albums, or Daydreaming and All I Need by Radiohead, maybe some Sigur Ros. More in that direction.
When I first went vegan I couldn't relate to people who got grossed out by the smell or sight of meat, or who would be grossed out by the idea of cross contamination or accidentally eating an animal product. I figured I'd never lose my taste for animal products, I just found alternatives that I liked as well and could manage to live without consuming animal products.
Now(vegan for ~7 years), I am viscerally disgusted by meat. The smell of cooked meat, seeing someone eat it, etc. I'm ashamed to admit that I almost intentionally had a bite of meat since going vegan. They messed up my order at the drive thru and I already took it home. I was hungry and honestly a little curious. But once I brought the food up to my mouth, I immediately gagged and everything in my brain and body screamed "This is not food."
I guess I'm posting to get stories from those of you who relate, or if you want to comment on my experience I'd be happy to see it.

I love multiple renditions of these songs and am just looking for more wholesome, deeply romantic "oldies" songs.
