Looking for "Likes" on Facebook

Sunday, February 13, 2011


Yes, I know everybody is looking for facebook likes as if it paid actual money or something. It's kinda like flashing your boobs in New Orleans during Mardi Gras for beads.

I do post some various and sundry film and food fodder on my facebook fanpage that doesn't appear here on the blog. I'm at 66 fans now, would love to make that 100 before the end of the month.

By the way, reminder: Guest Bloggers are Welcome - Looking for any recent film festival experiences and dinner and a movie write ups. Email me at tinseltine@gmail.com (blogging credit only compensation)

OPENING SOON! FOODIE FILM



THE HUNDRED FOOT JOURNEY

Speaks to our brand of Food in Film -

Based on the best-selling novel by Richard C. Morais, Produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey and stars Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren.

Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Mirren) gets wind of it.


Opens August 8th, 2014

YOU SHOULD STREAM



THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL

Great to rent/stream - vibrantly colored with colorful characters, fanciful and inventive!

In “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” a charming murder mystery and crime caper set against the backdrop of a troubled Eastern Europe about to head into an era of fascism, Ralph Fiennes stars as Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel who enchants his guests with a renowned hospitality that makes the mountain chalet the destination of the wealthy and affluent in Europe. A new lobby boy (Tony Revolori), the mysterious death of an aged guest (Tilda Swinton) and the disappearance of a priceless painting (Boy With Apple) set off a chain of events that make for a madcap adventure.

Glowing Review of Tinsel & Tine by The Bicycle-Chef

Glowing Review of Tinsel & Tine by The Bicycle-Chef
LeAnne started blogging for a class assignment a few years back. In her funny, irreverent style, she was challenged to think of a pithy blog name and she blurted out, Suck My Pretty Toes! For a year or two, she blogged under this moniker, writing about her favorite pastimes, eating and seeing movies. As her audience grew and her hobby became a bigger passion, she changed the name over to Tinsel and Tine Reel and Dine, to reflect her blog's mission. Tinsel being Hollywood, aka, Tinsel Town. And Tine for the tines of a fork. Making it a bit more clever, she rates her food and restaurant reviews on a scale of fork tines; none, one, two, three, four, as a restaurant or the meal deserves...READ MORE

Recent Post: Cake Competition Recap

Recent Post: Cake Competition Recap
If you read this blog frequently, you know I mention cake quite a lot. I'm a self-confessed cake-aholic, but I'm also a cake snob. I don't want just anything with icing on it, and in fact, it is crucial that the icing not be too sweet, too thick and preferably only on top. It's difficult to put into words what constitutes good cake, it's like describing a sunset or an orgasm, you just know it when you're in the moment of it...READ MORE

Recent Post: TRANSCENDENCE

Recent Post: TRANSCENDENCE
Transcendence is a movie I anticipated eagerly (even went to New Jersey for the preview screening) - it's full of seemingly plausible, brilliant scientific theories and possibilities, a Sci-Fi power couple, near apocalyptic, world changing implications, and Morgan Freeman to lend credibility and weight. Unfortunately, sometimes you can have all the right ingredients and still the finished product is tasteless... READ MORE

Recent Post: THE OTHER WOMAN
When I think about how I met the fantastic women in my life, girlfriends who hold me down, have my back, or are just plain fun to hang with, I realize I either was born into them, met them in the trenches of bad jobs or through the joy of blogging, but I certainly can't say I've ever made a friend by sharing the same man. However, that's the premise of director (actor) Nick Cassavetes' comedy The Other Woman, starring Leslie Man as Kate the suburban wife with no kids, who goes from devastated to devious in response to her cheating husband...READ MORE

And a very little pasta is what I received. The $14 Semolina Gnocchi - Lamb Shoulder Ragu *Soffrito Valley Shepard **Pepato is the most ridiculously sized, Emperors New Clothes portion of food I've ever eaten! How can anyone, no matter how pretentious, serve a mouthful of pasta, able to be eaten in 3 bites flat and charge $14!?! I understand when a menu has dinner portion and small portion and the small portion is like $8, but we had no way of knowing this dish was going to amount to what could only be considered tapas for 1...READ MORE

Recent Post: Nymph()Maniac
The film starts out with a dark screen for way too long a time. I know it's suppose to be a heightened effect, but really it just gives you time to think about your day and how late it's going to be when this movie is over and because of that you'll probably be late for work the next day etc... When the screen finally fills with images, we eventually see a bloody woman lying prone on a nasty alley floor. A man soon stands over her and...READ MORE

About This Blog

is about discovering what I find pleasing in screening & eating - in case you missed it, the name is a play on Tinseltown using the Tines of a Fork.

Feel free to send me info on a film or new restaurant you'd like me to highlight. -tinseltine@gmail.com


Will there ever be a cap on movie prices?

Will we one day pay $20 a pop?

Why don't we pay on a scale?

A crap movie like everything Adam Sandler has ever done should cost about $4.50.
Big action movies like"Lord of the Rings", "Iron Man," "Transformers" are worth $10.
Woody Allen movie or something like "Silver Linings Playbook" $6-$7.
A chick flick or light comedy $5.75 and most Indie Films $5.25.

You could even do it by seasons - all summer block busters from May to August - $10
Sept - November 15th $3.50 - $4
Back to $10 for Thanksgiving and Christmas etc...

Or you can do it by A Actors ($9 - $10), B Actors ($6 - $7) TV actors on the big screen ($3.50 - $4)

Surely I'm not the first person to realize this makes sense. Has it been voted on in the Motion Picture Industry and then vetoed? If so, why?
