bringing out the dead: scorsese can even make nicolas cage look good

holy fuck, this is a purdy flik. it’s kinda like watching the matrix, where you have to squint your eyes or just flat out pretend that fucking talent-suck keanu reeves has most certainly NOT been cast as the quasi-savior-esque “neo” just to somehow, some way,  enjoy it… ahem. scorsese rocks, despite fucking nicolas cage. filmsmithing.

so effing recommended: lourdes castro’s latin grilling

most of the time cooking for the hella-rich and then teaching snotty white kids will turn your old world rustic soul to a crack n’ hookers mush but, not this time. this wonderful book is basically a heartfelt fuck you to tex-mex and reminds us all that brazil, argentina and of course, cuba (just to [...]
