This can still be problematic for other reasons, like sound. But I agree, they need weight (or better actors...).

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but IIRC, the film isn't saying the Christian Jesus we all know about is immortal, but that this character in the film who is immortal (and a white dude, BTW) was assumed to be the son of God because people 2,000 years ago found out he was immortal and had no other explanation.

ETA: Looks like I remembered reasonably well. Here's the scene in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bXtdr5BI74

I disagree that's it's an "unfair comparison." It's certainly not a 1:1, but to help someone with absolutely no bearing on what ranch dressing is understand, I think it's a decent shorthand.

It's like if someone from Mexico asked what sriracha is and I replied, "it's like the Thai version of Tapatío." Is it perfect? No, there's way more nuance, but it gets them most of the way toward understanding.

So it sounds like the Internet died in 2008.

It's basically the American version of salad cream.

I'm glad to see someone linked to this video. No one ever believes me when I tell them this is the way.

The scam in question, from the article:

McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.

“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.

Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.

“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”

Best guess just by looking at the photo is too much butter and I'm guessing you didn't chill the dough before you baked them.
