“Could Wall-E, with the assistance of an entire culinary rat army, make a dish so exquisite, so divine, so transcendent, that the most feared food critic on earth has an out-of-body experience that changes him forever after just one bite?”
Sorry Jack that Wall-E is too busy literally saving the planet from ecological collapse, falling in love (a far better romance than rat chef’s ginger doofus and angsty pixie dream cook), oh and also inspiring humanity to actually believe in the power of their collective will to overthrow the soothing yet oppressive shackles of capitalism. Wall-E is a socialist hero. Rat chef meanwhile will almost certainly ghostwrite a shitty book for ginger doofus called, like, “the secret ingredient is hard work,” that’ll be a NYT bestseller and praised by bootstrap lovers everywhere.
Jack is right. Rat Chef is superior; Wall-E’s favorite film is the risible filmed version of Hello, Dolly. Rat Chef would absolutely scoff at seeing Barbra in that dreck because he would have known about her from the cabaret shows.
This is one step removed from some stop the steal shit. Jack will be donning his shaman hat soon enough preparing to storm Rafi’s place, demanding to see the fake ballots cast in favor of Wall-E.
Wall-E is like UP in that their openings are both beautifully simple and poetic, but instead of stopping there and existing as two more incredible Pixar short films, they were made feature length. Rat movie just keeps building and building, getting more adorable and cozy until the triumphant magic peasant food finale! Unimpeachable.
Jack out here writing discourse blog's "stop the steal" but it's about how he doesn't like that people like a good movie about a cute robot
this is MY january 6
Getting tased until you shit yourself to death in support of Rat Chef is honestly *the* hill to die on.
yeah a truly worthy cause unlike "donald trump needs to be the president"

i am sorry you like an inferior film. ah well

omg incredible point—the hello dolly movie is AWFUL and rat chef, as we know, has excellent taste!!!
Counterpoint: Wall-E was such a great movie that it made that terrible version of Hello, Dolly likable.
Could Rat Chef make such a terrible movie likable? We all know the answer. Rat Chef is a great movie, its just no Wall-E
it's true, it is no Wall-E, in that it is better.
But, but! Wall-E gives us hope for the future! And ratatouille gives me indigestion ):
a utopian society where rats and humans work together in harmony to create exquisite food? that's hope to me
hard to understand how taking the high road involves besmirching the good name of Bird of the Week for settling petty squabbles
this is the most convincing comment so far. i'm going to change the headline!!!
in turn I will return my Bird of the Week flag to flying right-side-up

If Discourse Blog did a comment of the day, this’d be it.
Aw, poor Jack just needs a cookie and a quiet corner of the room. Maybe when you calm down, Jack, we can talk about getting a big-boy bed.

absolutely not, rafi's house is way too far away for me to bother
But how would Rat Chef fare against Burrowing Owl in the bracket?
Richard Belzer (RIP) referred to the gavel sound as the "Dick Wolf money making sound" (or something like that.)
The L&O franchise has gotta be my most problematic fave. Gimme all that sweet sweet copaganda.
Yup, I have the same problem...
