Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today
nyctre@lemmy.world 5 days agoWell, I was just thinking that you can do the bourguignon at home, whereas you can’t really have an IMAX at home. Maybe I was just overthinking it, my bad :D sorry

I can build an IMAX at home too (theoretically), but that’s a very hypothetical situation that isn’t really part of the analogy. 😁 The implication was that the bourguignon is best at a fancy restaurant. 😉

Yeah, my bad, I focused too much on the specifics and should’ve just looked at the meaning itself. In my head theater = restaurant, home tv = home kitchen. Good movie = bourguignon, average movie = noodles. And I had an issue with the latter part. Because to me it’s not about the quality of the movie, but the quality of the experience or at least getting something that you can’t get at home, same as in a restaurant I’d usually order stuff that I can’t make at home. Or that is too complicated to make at home.
Imo, noodles at restaurant are better cause of powerful gas stove which lets you actually fry stuff and not just steam it and gets you the wok hei, bourguignon at home or restaurant won’t be that much different since it’s just a stew and there’s not much you can do in a restaurant to make it better.
So that’s why I thought it wasn’t a good analogy. But if you just look at the meaning behind it, as I should’ve done, it’s a good analogy.
