Thank the lord that Benoit Blanc is a detective with compassion and kindness and cares while also being a genius detective because the two don’t need to be exclusive

stealingmirrors replied to your post “rolling cookie dough I made a few days ago into...”
that pasta you talked about in the tags sounds actually divine??? would that i could be a friend in your kitchen, that all sounds lovely
...it was really, really good, even reheated in the office kitchen or left on the countertop as I bustled about, working from home.
Honestly, I have yet to encounter a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen that isn’t good, easy to understand, and most importantly, flexible---I have Jamaican beef handpies in the freezer, I’ve left pastry proofing for forty-eight plus hours; even in the recipe below I basically kept stirring and adding pasta water until the cream sauce was exactly the consistency I wanted, no measurements required. I love a recipe so durable that you actually can’t fuck it up, unless you have truly no knowledge of cooking at all, in which case: sorry and also, thank you for supporting the takeout economy.
So in celebration of great recipes and the people who hate them, from America’s Test Kitchen Vegetables Illustrated:

One of the things I love about Glass Onion is the way that the camera and music work together to tell nonverbal jokes.
Like when Benoit basically has to hold Miles' hand to get him to the conclusion that someone reset the puzzle box Benoit lies about receiving:
Benoit asks if it's possible that someone reset the box, and Miles then declares that someone must have reset the box like it is this huge reveal - and the camera zooms out while the music subtly swells as though he really has figured out something smart, when actually he literally restated what Benoit just said.

I'm actually wondering why Kiryu calls Majima "niisan". Like, it couldn't have come out of nowhere, right? It wasn't like they met and boom Kiryu immediately began to address him like that, there must be some reason for this. Because, he would have called Majima "aniki" if it was just "respect for the elder." For example, he called Kuze an aniki and this is both the "respect the elderly" and "respect for the who is above you in a rank". So in those years between '88 and '95, something definitely happened between these two.
Like, for example, in Ishin, when after all the events, Ryoma starts calling Okita "niisan" and he reacts like 😳huh?😳
no but you’re so right that’s such an interesting detail….. cause like. you could try and take it like how ryoma describes it in ishin (“you’ve saved my life so many times, that’s why you’re niisan to me” or something like that)– but in the mainline series that logic doesn’t make sense because like you said, he was calling majima “majima no niisan” before majima had ever saved his life (to our knowledge), and before really just… anything we know about that would constitute that kind of closeness/fondness.
so like. DID majima save his ass at some point (or multiple points) between 0 and 1? did they just get to know each other really well over that time for other reasons or simply because they liked one another?? they HAD to have had a significant amount of relationship development in that time and it drives me insane not knowing HOW.
it’s also interesting to note that kiryu doesn’t really use “no niisan” with anyone else of a similar age and rank for the most part, so there really has to be something about majima, and something about their relationship in general that’s different. I think part of what allowed their relationship to end up feeling so romantically coded in the first place is the fact that the extremely prevalent theme of brotherhood/familial bonds amongst yakuza has never felt like they apply to them– which is a stark contrast to most other close relationships kiryu has. So kiryu addressing him differently than most other guys in his life has always made it feel like their bond is… something else. but I digress.
