Right. I& #39;ve got a bowl of ratatouille and a glass of red. Ratatouille Disney posting is go.
Full disclosure: unlike little mermaid, beauty and the beast and hunchback: I have actually seen Ratatouille already. The TL;DR is it& #39;s about a rat and a kid who save a French restaurant by gentrifying peasant food.
Just FYI, this is actually a common occurrence in fine dining. Some upstart comes along and starts using a cheap offcut or dish that poor people have survived on forever, makes it trendy, and fucks it for the rest of us.
It& #39;s kinda cute when a rat does it but on the whole: problematic trend.
Also, the rat *might* be a class traitor but I can& #39;t remember how he treats the other rats when he leaves them so I& #39;ll have to comment on that later.
Anyhow, initial thoughts are there. Currently they& #39;re stealing ingredients/food and Remy has just learned about the fancy restaurant being in trouble.
They& #39;re being shot at

Now, I *live* in a farmhouse and have access to a shotgun and I can guarantee you, literally nobody thinks that firing the thing inside the house is an appropriate way to deal with rats.
Also, there& #39;s no way anyone could have had that many rats in their home and not known. Doesn& #39;t happen.
They& #39;ve all left now though and Remy is alone in a sewer. This is sorta where the story starts.

True to form, Pixar films are full of self-referential Easter eggs. I actually quite like them.
The only problem with sitting down to watch this with a bowl of ratatouille is now I& #39;m out of ratatouille and want to eat more ratatouille.
Remy is a bit of a snob. Anyone *can* cook (assuming largely able bodied, able to read, access to kitchen and ingredients, sighted, etc).
Admittedly the kid was fucking everything up but Remy didn& #39;t know that at first.

I really wish it was as easy to unfuck a soup as simply adding a few more ingredients and turning the heat down.
Made a tomato and lentil based soup once that tasted of wet socks because I *way* messed up on the herbs. Not good.

I really enjoy the scene where the kid is getting to know Remy instead of drowning him.
Definitely wouldn& #39;t have happened if the head chef had acted appropriately to seeing a rat halfway out the kitchen window and just LET IT GO

Honestly if a single character had an appropriate response to rats it would all be very different.
Mate, idc how good the soup is if *that& #39;s* how you behave in a kitchen you& #39;re getting fired.
I forgot about the human marionette thing they do in this film.
Just FYI I do some excellent human marionette dance moves at punk shows. In the After Times if you see me at them say hello.

Oh, yeah, the kid is gonna inherit the restaurant. Head chef is pissed because he wants it to fail so he can sell ready meals.
Skeevy fucker.
Skeevy fucker.
Fuck me, shelling peas is NOT THAT DIFFICULT.
& #39;get the kid who made a soup to make a dodge recipe instead of the soup& #39;
Genius mate. Genius. Fucking wrecker.

This film is actually a good lesson in how parasitic capitalists will ruin EVERYTHING if you& #39;re not paying attention.
It& #39;s *STILL* about saving a fancy restaurant by gentrifying peasant food at its core though.

Ratatouille does not sound delicious.
Fucking tastes great though.
Might get another bowl.

Remy is definitely naive but also his human pal does love him so I see why it& #39;s hard for him to not see that overall, humans hate rats.
Sleeping people are total dead weights. Sleeping wine hangover people doubly so. Not buying FOR ONE SECOND that Remy could stand his buddy up like that.
How many units are in a glass of red btw? Asking for me. I think I drank mine a bit fast.
I& #39;m definitely getting a second bowl of ratatouille. It& #39;s just veggies. It& #39;s fine. You can eat as many of those as you like.
Aaaand we& #39;re back. Remy made the kid kiss the lady chef because he was gonna reveal that he& #39;s a rat& #39;s puppet and that& #39;s OBVIOUSLY fucking stupid.
Not sure how I feel about that.
The snooty critic has arrived.

When I was at uni I got really into cooking and briefly contemplated sacking it off and going to culinary school/getting a food truck/etc. I think about that sometimes. Professional kitchens are mad
Remy has just discovered that linguine is the heir
Linguine is being a douche. Predictably.
Yeah, Remy& #39;s a class traitor. He kept the good food away from his fam and he& #39;s only letting them have it to get back at the boss man.
BOOOOOOOO Remy. BOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOO Remy. BOOOOOOOO
Really fucking hard to stay mad at him when he& #39;s so cute though.
Right, 20 minutes of Ratatouille left. Mad dash for a phone charger it is.
Remy& #39;s family have pulled through to get him out the trap.
Linguine is out of his depth to a worrying degree. How the fuck he didn& #39;t write ONE THING down, ONCE is ridiculous.

Aw, he& #39;s come clean about being a meat puppet. Nice.
YOU CAN& #39;T ROLLERSKATE ON CARPET.
THEY SAID THE NAME OF THE FILM IN THE FILM AYYYYYY
My ratatouille might not look so photogenic but it& #39;s definitely far more like the one the critic& #39;s mum made
I love their new little restaurant. Adorable.
Btw: Ratatouille (film) - good, ratatouille (food) - good. Making poor person food a trendy bougie staple - dangerous.
