CAN'T HARDLY WAIT Reviewed by Jamie Peck
Most of the action takes place at a big bash to celebrate Huntington High School's graduation day. Attending the beer- and sex-soaked festivities are our six main teenagers -- requisite nice guy Preston (Ethan Embry), prom queen Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt), star jock Mike (Peter Facinelli), acerbic wit Denise (Lauren Ambrose), white "homeboy" Kenny (Seth Green) and unpopular brainiac William (Charlie Korsmo). Kenny, hoping to hook up with a girl and lose his virginity, ends up bonding with Denise, who's present out of emotional support for Preston, who wants tell Amanda of his longtime crush on her. Amanda has just broken up with Mike, who's been tormenting William, who will seek revenge against Mike before the night is over. Did you get all that?
Actually, the gossipy character interaction that composes "Can't Hardly Wait"'s various story threads ring true for the most part. (Gosh, I was there only two years ago!) It's within the characters themselves where the movie begins to falter. That they're walking, talking stereotypes really doesn't matter; this seems like a deliberate effort on the part of co-directors and -writers Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan to emanate such "classics" as "The Breakfast Club." But they fail to make their entire contemporary cross-section of young people completely interesting. Both Michael and William are crudely rendered, and their conflict, particularly how it ends, is pretty revolting. The Preston-Amanda romance (or lack thereof) is supposed to be Wait's main event, but it's hard to care much about either person.
Preston is solely defined by his affection for Amanda, while, in turn, all she does throughout the film is mope and pout. The would-be relationship somehow manages to click despite the strange, hindering oversight that we're never allowed to see why she's so special to him. This is not because we root for Preston, but because we root for Ethan Embry, whose endearing, natural and occasionally goofy charm makes up for his alter-ego's lack of distinction. Embry ("That Thing You Do!") does a fine job of getting the audience to identify with the anxiety, longing, hesitancy and heartbreak of first love; if only his Preston were fully fleshed-out, he'd be worth following into a "Can't Hardly Wait" spin-off feature.
On the other hand, Denise and Kenny already are; when the film eventually breaks up into several superimposing stories, it is only theirs that crackles with the completely realized good-time vibe that Elfont and Kaplan were probably going for -- and that's very likely because Lauren Ambrose and Seth Green have a great deal of fun bringing to life the most comedically vibrant party patrons here. So, while the material is distinctly uneven, these winning performers, their occasionally winning characters and smattering of winning moments make the whole package not much of a chore to endure. "Can't Hardly Wait" is a decent attempt to make a film that definitively encapsulates a decade's worth of teen fads and attitudes. It's just too bad the far more successful "Clueless" beat it to the punch three summers ago.

Makes 18 curved tuiles, cigars or baskets
Dietary
Mary Berry’s recipe for tuiles shapes these French wafer biscuits in three ways – decorated curves, chocolate-dipped cigars and a basket that can be filled with chocolate mousse.
Equipment and preparation: You will need a template for shaping the tuiles mixture before baking. You can buy these, or try making one by cutting circular holes in a sheet of silicone or plastic.
To make the chocolate mousse, break the chocolate into small pieces and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat half of the cream until just simmering. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate pieces and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and leave to cool for 15 minutes. Add the remaining cream and using a hand-held electric whisk, beat the mixture until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue whisking to make a soft meringue mixture. Carefully fold the meringue through the chocolate mixture. Put the mousse in the fridge and leave until set.
To make the tuiles mixture, use a hand-held electric mixer to mix the butter, sugar and vanilla extract into a paste. Gradually add the egg whites, whisking all the time. Fold in the flour a little at a time beating with a wooden spoon between each addition.
Transfer one-sixth of the mixture into a small bowl and add the cocoa. Beat until well mixed. You now have two bowls of tuile paste, one plain and one chocolate. Cover both bowls with cling film and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
To bake the tuiles, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone sheet and place the tuile template in position.
Spread some of the plain tuile paste over the cut out shapes of the template using a palette knife. Draw the blade across the template to remove any surplus paste. Remove the template by peeling away from the tray, leaving you with paste shapes on the baking tray. You should be able to make nine tuiles. Reserve the remaining plain tuile paste.
Spoon the chocolate paste into a small piping bag fitted with a writing nozzle. Pipe patterns (concentric circles, dots, straight lines, squiggles, wavy lines) onto the tuiles.
Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until just turning golden-brown around the edge. Remove from the oven and, working very quickly, drape the tuiles over a rolling pin while still warm, so that they cool in a curved shape.
If the cooked tuiles start to harden before you have chance to shape them all, return them to the oven for 30 seconds to one minute to soften.
For the tuile cigars, make a further nine plain tuiles using the template as before. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Reserve the remaining plain paste. Remove from the oven and, working very quickly, bend the warm tuiles around wooden spoon handles to make cigar shapes. Dip the cigar tuiles in the melted plain chocolate. Leave aside to set.
For the tuile basket, drop a spoonful of the remaining plain paste onto a silicone sheet and flatten with the back of a spoon to an uneven circle approximately 8cm/3¼in in diameter. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until a pale golden-brown colour. Remove from the oven and lift off the baking tray. Mould immediately over a muffin cup or ramekin to make a basket shape. Leave them to cool.
Use a tablespoon dipped in cold water to place scoops of the chocolate mousse into the basket. Serve with the cigar-shaped and curved tuiles.

title: "Matrixifying the Web: A Simple Chrome Extension Tutorial"
date: 2018-04-08 18:30:22.000000000 +01:00
categories: Code
---
Chrome extensions are really easy to create, but I found it really hard to learn how to create them. The documentation on Google's site is convoluted and too thorough - there are popups, content scripts, background scripts etc. All I wanted to do was to manipulate the webpage in the browser like add a sidebar to a website or change it's theme. In this tutorial, I'm going to matrixify github profile by inverting the colors and adding some cool gifs and animations.
I just want to create something like this (Source Code):
Configuration
Everything in a chrome extension is configured in a manifest json. To inject scripts, we want to either use "web_accessible_resources" or "content_scripts" and we just create javascript or css files to be run on launch of the extension.
Below I have a simple example of this:
{% highlight javascript %}
{
"name": "Matrixify Extension",
"version": "0.1.0",
"manifest_version": 2,
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://github.com/*"],
"css": ["mystyle.css"],
"js": ["myscript.js"]
}
],
"browser_action": {
"default_title": "Matrixify"
}
}
{% endhighlight %}
Matches implicitly sets the permissions this script/css will run on. The others are just telling Chrome to run the required css and javascript. Version and manifest version are required.
Matrixifying CSS
To redesign our github website, I'll just change some colors and hues in mystyle.css:
{% highlight css %}
body {
background: url('https://github.com/evanjmg/matrix-simple-chrome-extension/raw/master/giphy.gif') !important;
background-size: cover !important;
color: white !important;
font-family: Courier !important;
}
.UnderlineNav,
.pagehead {
background-color: darkgreen !important;
}
.Counter {
color: lightgreen !important;
}
p,
a,
p.text-gray {
color: white !important;
}
a {
text-decoration: underline !important;
}
img.avatar {
filter: sepia(100%) hue-rotate(60deg) !important;
}
{% endhighlight %}
With the content scripts, the css is automatically injected on any page that I go to when my extension is active. So in this file, I'm using !important to override the css (don't normally do this when building websites - this is for example purposes only).
You'll notice that the background: url has a github sourced url. With injecting scripts, it is incredibly difficult to deal with security constraints. You'll always have to either override the content security headers or just abide by them by either uploading your script or content (image, website, etc) directly onto the site or writing some clever javascript.
If you go to the chrome dev tools console, you'll also see that I'm running a console log. I'm running this with the following:
{% highlight javascript %}
// myscript.js
console.log("************** YOU'VE BEEN MATRIFIED****************")
// access dom here - example hide all images
// document.querySelector('img').style.display = 'none'
{% endhighlight %}
This is all pretty static, but if you want to make your extension respond to actions outside of the DOM and in the extension. You'll need to use a background.js and add it to the manifest json like so..
{% highlight javascript %}
{
"name": "Matrixify Extension",
"version": "0.1.0",
"manifest_version": 2,
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://github.com/*"],
"css": ["mystyle.css"],
"js": ["myscript.js"]
}
],
"background": {
"scripts": [
"background.js"
],
"persistent": true
},
"browser_action": {
"default_title": "Matrixify"
}
}
{% endhighlight %}
And in order to detect the clicks on the chrome extension you have to do the following:
{% highlight javascript %}
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(tab => {
// for the current tab, inject the "inject.js" file & execute it
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, {
file: 'myscript.js'
})
})
{% endhighlight %}
Now with onClick and executeScript, the previous console log statement will be called every time I click the extension icon.
Packaging and Development
For packaging, I recoomend Google Chrome tools in the browser and webpack. Webpack will minify and bundle all your files and assets to make them readable in the browser. A good simple example of the webpack implementation you can find here: https://github.com/segmentio/chrome-sidebar/tree/master/examples/github-trending
When you want to package and view your extension, I recommend just going to chrome://extensions and enabling development mode. Then click 'load unpacked' and your extension should load. If it has errors, chrome will notify you. If there are javascript errors, please check the affected webpage console where your script is run. When you want to zip up your extension to share with others, simply click 'pack extension' (no need for a pem unless you are putting it on the extension store).
Get Started on your own!
 This is only one of few practical applications of chrome extensions. If you want to add an iframe sidebar to a website then I recommend Segment.io's open source Chrome sidebar It uses a background.js script to inject a sidebar into the DOM which you can interact with. After this introduction, it may a be lot easier to go back through google's documentation. However, if you need any help with yours comment below and look the source code.
