Denver has a place called the Maine Shack that flies in lobster each day for various rolls (CT style, Maine style, some other options)... It's crazy overpriced, but they've done a great job with the place and have been very successful. Great social marketing too.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
I’ve found that doing shrimp boils with EZ peel shrimp yields much better flavor than peeled shrimp.

I've had lobster every few weeks during quarantine since I live by the NH coast and my brother has connections to local fishers. I do love shrimp, cooked any way except stuffed (a waste), but boiled lobster with butter is the best.
Hope you mean steamed. You should know better if you're a New Englander...
And here I’ve been just eating hotdish.....
Kidding. Grilled a skirt steak and have been having tacos all day.

And i STRONGLY recommend you learn how to do butter poached lobster.

I mean you can eat crab without doing all that smacking work yourself. Living in Charleston, crab's on tons of menus. Omelettes with shrimp and crab meat are delicious. I'd agree that the hammering is not my thing.

Shrimp crab boils are the best things on earth. I request it from family every birthday.
Duke I almost never get lobster. I love it, just not readily available. I have a buddy (from RT days actually) who lives in maine. That FUCKER routinely sends me picks of "dinner"....crab and fish and lobster and shit he just moseys over to the bay and picks up his traps or whatever and boom dinner. Hes a cruel cruel man. [Says one jealous bastard]
HAHA I actually meant broiled. The tail with butter sizzling, a little chopped garlic, parsley and salt... is mmm. the best. Steamed is of course fine. The standard.
I also love love love fried lobster but goddamn it is too expensive via restaurants and time consuming at home for me to even bother.

I figured I'd see cheaper lobster in Connecticut when I visited last year, but it's not TOO far off from what I get here in Denver. Lame.
Speaking of which...
Yeah he's in that.

I liked the final season of Game of Thrones. Yeah, I know it was a bit anti-climactic and the weakest season but I genuinely liked it - I liked how it all ended. Maybe that's because I didn't start watching the series in full until the final year so didn't have as much invested in it?
Inspired by recent threads:
- The original Mad Max is terrible. Mad Max: Fury Road is the most overrated movie of the decade. George Miller's best movie by far is Babe: Pig in the City.

No, just no.
Yes, oh yes. It's a little ... weird, too, I think, the way people talk about it? But then I remember that we've nothing else to hang our collective hats on, at least in terms of action movies this decade.
My belief: George Miller is nothing without Byron Kennedy.
My counter:
Mad Max is indeed terrible. Road Warrior is fun. Blooddome or whatever the third one is called is also terrible. Fury Road is a masterpiece.
Thunderdome, dude. Thunderdome.

iirc, posting Rick & Morty clips removes the thread's natural protection and allows people to attack you

Fury Road is indeed a masterpiece.
I love the entire Mad Max series. Thunderdome is the weakest one.
Rick and Morty is hilarious but the fanbase is mostly toxic.

Mad Max is a lot of fun!
The first Mad Max is the best of the series, followed by Fury Road.
Road Warrior is one of the most overrated movies in existence.
I love Pistol Opera. I would like to hear what trans thinks of it.
The Road Warrior was my introduction to Max Rocktansky, so I didnt appreciate Mad Max for a bit. I now love both movies for different reasons, as different examples of filmmaking for their decades. Thunderdome I enjoy but its....an odd film.
The lawlessness that pervades Mad Max 1979 is pretty terrifying. Plus, without the budgets of Road Warrior and especially Fury Road, the 1979 movie has both feet planted firmly into an-all too believable dystopia that resembles the here and now. It's one of the best examples of low-budget filmmaking.
I agree with Madman about Thunderdome. It isn't a different beast, it's an inferior Max flick, but still engaging enough.
Meg, I gotta ask, care to elaborate on why you feel MM2 is stupefyingly overrated?
