If you like very VERY dark satire and jokes about high-end, Vespertine-like ‘food as experience’ restaurants, you will probably enjoy this, even knowing what you do. Lots of surprises still to be discovered.
But what do I know? I generally prefer my movies to be enjoyable, and we’ve been doing that for about 100 years now. Maybe Film should be unexpected and shocking and be less concerned with quotidian ‘enjoyment’, as per the Warrior’s philosophy.
My new film will consist of 3 uninterrupted hours of someone trying and failing to chop carrots into the perfect brunoise. While watching, the room will be filled with screaming children and teens on their cellphones. The soundtrack will be out of sync by 3/4 of a second.
Clearly I’m a genius. Now, who’d like to contribute to my kickstarter?
I didn’t say anything like that. People used to be all freaked out by the “Tristan chord” in Tristan and Isolde. Nowadays it barely sounds dissonant. People enjoy dissonance.
Peony: I disagree with Warrior. I don’t think serving food that “shocks people’s senses” will work . People may not come back to the restaurant again if they can’t swallow anything and have to leave the restaurant hungry…
Just want to make sure I understand your shared review here. You visited a new pizza spot - ordered a pizza with several ingredients incongruent with your liking- and lo and behold didn’t enjoy the food. Further, if you were ever to give this pizza a thumb’s up, the chef would have to choose an entirely different cheese to make it work for you. Did I miss anything?
I think that’s a little harsh. They responded to someone else’s comment about a single dish on the menu saying that they didn’t like that dish and explaining why.
A little harsh? Asking a reviewer if I understood their review after reading their negative report of a potato pizza THEY ORDERED w/ cream, ricotta, pecorino, provolone, parm from a reviewer a) doesnt like ricotta/ cream on pizzas b) prefers a sharper cheese with potato pizza? LOL
Cmon @KAS, you must know that @PeonyWarrior likes his/their restaurants to have no food at all.
They must assume you’ve already been nourished. Flavorless textures and whatnot…
Peony has a clear history of making very provocative comments and then not being responsive when other people have pointed out why such comments receive (a lot of) negative feedback. The lack of responsiveness is present even when some posters have been incredibly diplomatic and patient.
Some of Peony’s comments (esp ones that are ont narrowly food-related) have been (IMHO) genuinely and blatantly offensive.
I can easily understand why some other posters here might be exceedingly tired of this pattern.
