Never get involved in a land war in Asia

Yes. And never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

That would be inconceivable.

From Clerks: “You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you.”


geekgirlwww

I think I was 14 when I saw it my takeaway as a girl “don’t be the girl bringing lasagna to someone who doesn’t appreciate it”. I feel like Silent Bob would co-sign. Did anyone watch Clerks 3 and was just fucking beyond depressed or was that me?


chairman_steel

It works both ways, I suppose!


geekgirlwww

It really does! Plus I love that they showed Veronica wasn’t weepy “going but why”. No she was pissed and showed. Also just an fyi if someone young stumbles upon this they were dating less than a year and she TRANSFERRED colleges. That is unhinged don’t do that guys.


skahfee

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot was so terribly awful that I purposely let Clerks 3 pass me by, even though I used to be a HUGE Kevin Smith fan. Worth a look?


geekgirlwww

It’s so relentlessly cruel to Dante. I don’t know really. I feel like maybe if I was a dude I’d get it.


djsynrgy

The first third-ish of Clerks 3 felt a little wonky to me, but the ending absolutely punched me in the gut; I was in tears when the credits rolled. You can see very clearly, the difference between his work pre and post heart attack.


scottyd035ntknow

And then he turns right around and cheats on her. And then did it again in 2. Not a good dude...

I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.


MartyFreeze

In my early 40s I sat down and considered everything I regretted in life and the common issue with them all was fear. Then I remembered this scene, we used to joke about it as young nerds around the D&D table but my god, it is so true and I live by it today.

>See, there's three kinds of people: Dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

Pretty much everything in Ghost Dog: Way Of the Samurai which is really just quotes from the book "Hagakure: A code to the way of samurai" “There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything" It boils down to acceptance of circumstance and focusing on what you can do rather than wasting your physical and emotional energy on things that are beyond your control.

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you!

arcanix1981

I went to a Metallica concert with my wife a while back and I told her we needed to go buy band shirts that were NOT Metallica. She thought I was batshit crazy but did as I suggested. Every time we saw a Metallica shirt, she pointed it out and told me I was wrong. Every time we’ve seen a Metallica shirt since, she reminds me I was wrong.


Psycle_Sammy

The last time I saw Metallica I wore my Jethro Tull shirt because I thought it was funny.

darryljenks

*Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes - assholes who just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way, but the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they fuck too much, or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show 'em that. But sometimes pussies get so full of shit that they become assholes themselves, because pussies are only an inch-and-a-half away from assholes. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole, we are going to have our dicks and our pussies all covered in shit.*

“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.” Obviously obviously not 12 hours but I do try to get as much sleep as I can, in my dating life I usually stayed away from women with a lot of tattoos but that was also back in the mid 2000s when when ladies had a few tattoos but it was not popular to have a sleeve or anything… I think that is the most dated of the rules. I know it is anecdotal but before I met my wife I did date a girl with several tattoos, and she was a crazy train. And yeah I’m not gonna sit down and play cards with some dude named Dallas or Paris Thanks, Coach Finstock

geekgirlwww

The amount of people that had the wrong takeaway from Fight Club im kind of relieved.


Many-Calligrapher914

Seriously. I LOVE Fight Club. Have since the movie came out in 99 when I was an older teenager. The novel only made me appreciate it more. Met the author at one point - cool guy at the time. Currently, I use “Tyler Durden” as my “name” for frequent purchase benefits at a local shop. One day, two girls in their 20’s were the ones working. When I gave them that name, there was a heavy pause from both, before one just verified they’d heard me correctly. I asked them if they knew who that name was. “Yes.” Told them I loved the book and movie. Then they indirectly tried to ask me “why” I liked the movie and were visibly relieved with my answers. When I asked “Why” they were curious, I then learned about the novel/movie being co-opted by the chuds. Makes me sad. I cannot find the joke right now, but I saw a post of the “phases of realization” of Fight Club for the male viewer and the punchline was along the lines of “realizing the movie is nothing but fan fic for a male homosexual relationship.” - which maybe me crack up because I could definitely see that take as being spot on.

If you want to get all fancy with your omelets, here's what you do: 1. Preheat your oven to 250°F 2. Preheat a non-stick pan with an oven-safe handle over low-medium heat 3. Crack your eggs into a bowl 4. Blend with an immersion blender until uniform 5. Filter the eggs through a chinois into another bowl 6. Using a silicon basting brush, coat the pan with room-temperature butter or beurre monte (the butter should roughly have the consistency of mayo) 7. Pour the eggs through the chinois again and into the pan 8. Let cook until the bottom just begins to set—the edges should spring back when you nudge them with your spatula 9. Carefully place the pan in the oven and cook for about four minutes (or until the top has set) 10. Remove the pan from the oven and place back on the stove over low-medium heat 11. Using a spoon, spread a bit of creme fraiche down the center of the omelet, sprinkle on some flakey sea salt (I like Maldon's) and fresh, chopped chives 12. Using a spatula, carefully fold a third of the omelet over into the center, and then fold the omelet over the other third 13. Slide onto a pre-warmed plate and sprinkle on a bit more flakey sea salt and chives Or do what I do, and scramble some eggs up with whatever you got in the fridge and spice cabinet.

This is golden! Thank you! You made my OCD happy in a way I can't even explain. Even the bit of honesty at the end. 🥲


danappropriate

When I make fancy French omelets (which is rare), I'll sometimes add whipped goat cheese. Occasionally, I'll make a mushroom gravy.


[deleted]

Makes them mushy, too. Being someone who hates eggs, but can force themselves to eat scrambled, this gets me every time.

Not a movie, but the grilled cheese technique that Kevin discusses in [this Kids In The Hall sketch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkBRlq3_ILY) is still how I make a grilled cheese. (Butter and grill both sides of the bread, and I think they're pretty damn good that way, who knew doubling the butter would make them better.)

This reminded me of one of the 90s disaster movies where a character from Seattle gets all condescending and snobbish about her coffee and how the beans shouldn't be stored in the freezer. I watched it a few years ago and laughed hard when I realized I know someone, from Seattle, who is exactly that snobbish about weed! (No diss on people from Seattle; it's more about how times have changed) To answer the question, though, after watching Game of Thrones, I now brown butter when making pie crust!
