You'll laugh, you'll cheer, you'll say "awwww", and you'll fall in love with Agnes, Edith, and Margo even faster than Gru does. Watch the hilarious scene from Despicable Me, where a minion photocopies his butt in high definition. Watch it with your kids, watch it with your friends, watch it with your significant other, or watch it by yourself. (a movie I absolutely love) in the way that it combines sweetness and humor in a manner that's never cloying or annoying. So yeah, it's pretty clear that I liked this movie a lot. That's not a criticism, just an observation. Steve Carell and Jack McBrayer (in a small but hilarious part) are really the only voices that are easily recognizable. I wouldn't have known that Jason Segel, Kristin Wiig, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, or Will Arnett were even involved, if not for the credits and the fact that I had read about them beforehand. The voice talent is great, but I will admit that most of them were pretty much unrecognizable. The character designs are stylized and fun, the soundtrack is a nice change of pace for this kind of film, and the pacing is excellent, with nary a dull stretch. Despicable Me is also a vivid, bright movie that's pleasing to the eye in all the right ways. It's fun to see what will pop up next (keep your eyes open for a particularly amusing reference to a particularly un-amusing scene in The Godfather). It has the expected amount of jokes that will give kids (and older people, too) the giggles, as well as lots of comedy that only the grown-up crowd will appreciate. ![]() This is seriously the funniest animated movie that I've seen in quite a while. My favorite thing about Despicable Me is how humorous it is. And on those two fronts, Dreamworks has a definite success on their hands. But Despicable Me isn't trying to be profound, it's aiming for amusement and entertainment. On an emotional and story-telling level, it's not nearly as profound or involving. No, Despicable Me is not "better" than Toy Story 3. I sit on the toilet." Any animated movie that was released during 2010 is inevitably going to be compared to Toy Story 3, so let's get that out of the way, first. Once thought about and analyzed, the science part of cooking makes sense."Now, the rest of the plan is simple. Cooking it to an internal temperature of 195?F to 205?F is as close to the boiling point of water that one can get, without losing excessive moisture, and allows the increased temperature to render out the fat and break down the collagen. ![]() Thus, ~ 225? has been found to be an ideal cooking temperature for tough cuts of meat, like brisket and shoulder. As the fat melts and renders out, it will replace some of the water, but not all. Remember, water turns to steam and evaporates at 212?F. At the same time, it must be kept low enough that it will not evaporate excessive moisture. ![]() In the dry heat environment of a smoker, the cooking temperature must be kept high enough to break down the collagen and render out the fat. There are two cooking methods that can be used to make this happen - keep it at an elevated temperature for an extended period of time, or cook it at very elevated temperatures, in a moist environment, such as a pressure cooker. Collagen will break down, becoming soft and tender, when properly cooked. Collagen is white, small fibers, which are not visible to the naked eye, unless a lot of it forms sheets and strands. Elastin will not become tender from cooking it shrinks and becomes tougher. Elastin is yellow and can be easily seen and cut out. The amount of these two components varies, depending on the part of the animal, sex, and age. Two main components of the connective tissue that Jim refers to are collagen and elastin. ![]() Those portions of the animal that do the work are tougher than those that do not.
