There's been a lot of eating in movies over the years. From last meals to pure decadence. Sometimes they play a minor part and sometime they are the objective of the entire flick. One of my favorite eating scenes comes from a movie (introduced to me by Mamon) from the film Fatso with Dom DeLuise. It's a beautiful film about a man that can't do it. If you love to eat, which I’m sure you do, please spend a Sunday morning eating your eggs with this masterpiece of proper eating.
Dominick DiNapoli: Maybe I AM crazy. Is it crazy to hate yourself?
Dominick DiNapoli: Get the honey, junior.
Dominick DiNapoli: [to a picture of his mother] How you loved to feed me! Look at your chubby baby now, ma, I'm a fat, fat man, a damn fatso. I can't stop the fat!
Sonny: Did you ever suck the jelly out of a jelly doughnut and then fill it with chocolate swirl ice cream?
Antoinette: You ate the "ony"!
Frankie: You love bread, I don't love bread, I only LIKE bread!
Dominick DiNapoli: Mrs. Goodman, would you be my chubby checker?
Dominick DiNapoli: Lasagna for you, broiled chicken and kale for me, no bread.
Sonny: How'd you like to stuff one of them in a doughnut!
Dominick DiNapoli: Give me those keys or I'll cut you down to your balls!
Frankie: Dom, what's happening to you? Don't you remember? "Da, da, da, da"?
Dominick DiNapoli: "Da, da, da, da" your ass! Give me those keys!
Dominick DiNapoli: [to Frankie] You know what your problem is, Junior? You don't know how to run your plate. See? You gotta make the bread come out even with the eggs.
So, let's dig deep. Let us know what your favorite eating scenes are. I've got a busy day so sorry for the brevity.
Oh and WFL??

History of the World Part I: Introduction to Ceaser. I believe that was dom as well. well his eating was repulsively funny where i usually only find others eating repulsive.
The pie eating scene in Stand By Me.
I love the movie Big Night. All the food scenes are incredible. Someday I'm going to try to make the timpani (yeah, I've been saying that for 10 years). It will probably be horrible, b/c I don't have a recipe for it. Apparently shortly after the movie came out, they came out with a cookbook . . . but it didn't have the masterpiece in it! Which is the only reason I wanted to buy it! Ah well.
Lunch today may be Boston Market. I'm having a craving. But will I get the salad or a 1/4 dark with 2 sides? Hmmm.
The best eating movie of all time is Big Night. The entire movie is a big gastronomical orgasm.
Oh, yeah, that Godfather scene where they're going to the mattresses . . . mmmmmmm . . . .
See, I'm so right about Big Night, that LT beat me to it.
Ha ha!
In my quest to find that cookbook from Big Night, I found an adult Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book! I'm so excited! I'm totally going to order it!!
Where the hell is GG? She's the only one of you (I suspect) who will be familiar with the movie w/ Sarah Michelle Gellar where's she a magical chef. I think it's called "Simply Irresistable." I don't even remember if there was food in that movie, though I remember her with mixing bowls, but that's the first movie that came to mind when I read the topic.
Favorite eating scenes...
For some reason, the first one that springs to mind is from Young Sherlock Holmes, which is strange because I don't think I've seen it in a dozen years or more. Young Holmes's young sidekick, young Watson, is shot in the neck with a thorn dipped in a nefarious psychoactive substance that has, throughout the movie, been used to drive targets to destroy themselves in response to the horrifying hallucinations said psychoactive substance inspires in them. Watson's waking nightmare takes the form of an endless spread of infernal baked goods. The image that is jumping out at me is a small cupcake that weirdly opens a small pair of eyes, sprouts a set of limbs, and forces itself in to young Watson's mouth by repeatedly jumping at his face. (He's bound and lying on the floor for some reason I cannot recall.)
And, this limited eating scene for The Goonies:
Chunk: Hey, mister? Are you hungry? I got a Baby Ruth.
Sloth: Ruth! Ruth! Baby! Ruth!
Chunk: Here you go.
[Chunk tosses the candy bar to Sloth and it hits him in the head. Both scream.]
Chunk: I'm sorry, mister! I'm sorry!
[Sloth rips his chains out of the wall and goes to pick up the candy bar. Then, he realizes he's free]
Chunk: Gee, mister. You're even hungrier than I am.
Yes, Chunk, many are hungrier than you.
In honor of my superior hunger, I will have a well-endowed turkey and swiss sandwich from the deli across the street for lunch today. Unless the special is something worth writing home about. Then, I'll have that.
I'll also admit having a tiny desire to taste Komodo Dragon after watching the Freshman.
oooh... naked sushi eating in "Rising Sun" with sean connery and that guy from demolition man... (although i don't believe i would ever eat raw fish off of someones flesh unless i saw them wiped down with bleach)
so this weekend i taught my girlfriend how to make thanksgiving dinner. her family will be unable to prepare it themselves this year so she was going to do it but wasn't real familiar with the kitchen (well she is a genius with a blender and a bottle of rum).. so we made a 14 lbs turkey, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, candied carrots (ugh), home made gravy, pumpkin pie from scratch and canned cranberries (there is an art to getting them out dammit).
thus, i have a shitload of food in my house now and i believe turkey will be the centerpiece of all meals fro a couple weeks
I never saw the Goonies (yeah, I said it - I never saw the Goonies), but I remember in the Mad magazine spoof of it they had this one scene where they were threatening Chunk with shredding his hand in a blender & they said "what do you think of that?" & he said "I think with some sour cream & onion mix it could make a nice dip!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
rocky road???
Oh, right. Fondue for dinner. Possibly just the cheese & choco courses. Lunch will be salad.
Oh, lt...that makes me just a little sad. But just a little.
Lest we forget that brilliant scene from Hot Shots! (or is it Hot Shots! Part Deux?) where Charlie Sheen cooks a down-home breakfast on Valeria Golino's stomach.
Sebastien the crab. Thank Disney for that song. It got me over a hill or two in the early development of my social skills.
as should be obvious my my frequency of postings i'm off today and thus will possibly singlehandedly bring today's comments over 100 but anyway...
so i downloaded The Weeds Season one yeseterday and watched the entire thing. First of all, it's one of the funniest shows i've seen in a while. you should all buy/steal it immediately. but my point was one of the episodes was all about mj ladened food and god my mouth watered. plus watching people eat and get stoned while sober is hilarious.
oooh, half baked had some wonderful meal scenes
Fifty eggs.
Sorry to let you down HT! Yes, I am familiar w/ "Simply Irresistable". SMG does prepare lots and lots of magical food (like proffiterolles that release some sort of magic vapor). There's also some sort of crab hanging around the kitchen who may or may not be magic--the movie is not very clear in its plot points (surprise!) but is loads of fun.
I'll join in the Big Night love, but for me the best food movie ever is "Mostly Martha", a german movie about a chef. All the food looks fantastic, but there is also, in my opinion the sexiest food scene ever. Martha's rival chef (a boistrous Italian man to counter her stoic, Germanic personality) cooks her dinner, and feeds her, and it's tender and sensual and just damn hot, but not in an overt, slightly creepy 91/2 Weeks sort of way.
lt: You know how happy I am that there have been TWO Great Outdoors/Ol' 96er references on this blog in less than a week?
We should celebrate.
I hate blogger.
The mattresses scene from Godfather.
The garlic slicing scene from Good Fellas.
When Dave shows the first lady how to make a sandwich in "Dave" (and when he orders Charles Grodin lunch).
I want to say th emovie Soul Food but I don't rmemeber anything about it.
Are we too old to mention Harold and Kumar?
And m, the "guy from Demolition Man" is Wesley Snipes.
Going to get lunch downstairs I'll report after i decide.
I didn't see it, but in the trailer for Marie Antoinette, there was a scene where she's wearing some fantastic dress in a room full even more fantastic cakes and petit fours. That looked like heaven to me.
From Vie de France:
ham & brie sandwich with LT and roasted red peppers on a croissant.
curried chicken side salad.
Two more movies came to mind:
Scenes form "The Cook, The thief, His Wife and Her Lover."
"Eating Raoul"
Oh, "lunch" was breakfast - roasted potatoes and an omelette w/ cheddar, swiss, sundried tomatoes and roasted red peppers while watching the Wire. (Jo will not get ahead of me on the watching)
Terrible, stupid movie, but the egg sandwich Adam Sandler makes in Spanglish makes me drool and I've seen that movie a million times just for that sandwich.
barf: what did he have?
waitress: he had the special
barf: change mine to the salad
lonestar: good move
[Enter Alien]
Did anyone see the Surreal World episode where the top model girl had sushi laid out all over her body? And Mini Me grabbed a piece and rubbed it on her nipple? It was gross and weird.
abp corn chowder and fields & feta wrap.
busy bee today.
favorite scene, definitely from harold & kumar. that movie had me rollin'.
Why yes, Lady A, I did see that and was thinking about that earlier. Was it later that night, or in the next episode, where Mini Me then got up and peed in the corner while da Brat watched?
In this years OWFL awards, I think PeeP will certainly get the nomination for "post that garnered the most on comment posts" Well done sir.
I immediatly thought of the Dom in History of the world part 1, so I won't go there, but the most memorable eating scenes in movies for me are:
The feast in Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. Every course was more shocking than the last. The eyeball soup, followed by the giant snake stuffed with little snakes, and then chilled monkey brains for desert.
Then the Skexiis feast in the Dark Crystal. I am alittle fuzzy on details, but I totally remember there being a disgusting feast in the middle somewhere.
For lunch today I went down town to turn in my timesheet. (It's hard out here for a temp) Then I hooked up with KC for lunch. After Quake's post about cheating, I took her to the old rendesvous place. Got a ham and swiss on a sub roll.
I meant peep will get the nomination for most on topic comments, I don't know what what I said means.
Who the hell invented the sandwich?They ought to write a book about him.
Henry, you've got to stop fighting Eddie. You don't have a reason, that's why you lose every fight.
I can whip him without a reason,
because I've got the guts.
Hey, I've got the guts.
But the guts need fuel.
Hey, what the hell?
Mmm, ham.
It's ham with mustard and relish.
He's a goddamn rat-thief.
I oughtta cream you good!
All I need is a litte fuel, that's all I need to be better.
You out of line there, Henry! You can just swipe down a man's food like that.
He's like a goddamned seagull!!
HT - Yes that was the same episode...I think someone had to pick him up naked...very disturbing.
Sean of the Dead - "Peanutes anyone? ... anyone?"
Chinaski!
Splash when Darryl Hannah eats her lobster.
In "Hamburger...The Motion Picture" when the woman is eating spare ribs and someone else is eating, ahem, something else under the table.
"How much for an order of ribs?"
"$2.50"
"How many ribs in an order?"
"5"
"So that's about 50 cent a rib?"
"Yeah"
"I'll have one"
"One order of ribs!"
"No, no, I mean just one rib"
"One rib?"
"I sure am hungry"
Anyone see that SNL spoof on 'Pretty Woman'? Mike Meyers is sitting with this crazy skanky diseased hooker at this fancy restaurant and one of his snooty friends goes "Have you ever had lobster before?" and she goes "No . . . but I've had crabs."
Oh, oh, and the fatal hot pepper lunch scene in Dumb & Dumber.
Speaking of eating things off of naked people: I was bemoaning the fact the other day that I haven't knocked down an order of Waffle House hash browns in something like three months, and I drunkenly postulated:
me - "Man, I could knock down an order of Waffle House hash browns about now. I'd get a double order scattered, smothered, covered, and slathered."
Associate #1 - "Slathered?"
me - "Yeah, slathered."
A#1 - "I don't think I recall seeing that on the menu."
me - "Sure it is."
A#1 - "Oh yeah? What's slathered?"
me - "When they're served on a stripper."
Haven't eaten lunch yet. 'Bout to go sort that out. I'm sure I've missed the special by now.
"You got change for a hundred?"
a stripper should never slather on anything unless its covered in an antibacterial agent
R. I. P.
The OJ, "How I did it if i would have done it" Murder book and tv special has been canceled.
Oh well, It gave us a topic of coversation for a whole weekend.
What Monty Python movie was it where the giant Fat guy ate, and ate, and ate until He was huge, super huge. Then the after dinner mint causet his fat ass to Burst?
Ah, yes: The Meaning of Life.
"Eet's wafer thin..."
Roast beef club on sourdough, no mayo. With chips and a root beer.
The Meaning of Life.
"Just one wafer thin mint!"
"Well, alright"
Ka-BOOOM!
The whole OJ book thing was cancelled or just the tv interview??
Ah, EQ beat me. Ok, I just read a thing about how "senior management agree with the american public that this was an ill-considered project." Well, DUH.
The whole project was rejected.
No book,
No Fox special.
Decency 1: OJ 0
Right, the meaning of life. Thanks team.
Nobody's mentioned Alive yet. That first scene where they cut that lady's ass and gobbled it up like good little savages.
so does OJ get paid? cause that wouldn't be fair with all the time and effort he put into it
I believe OJ still gets his money.
Decency: 1
OJ: $3.5 million
thank god.. i was worried.. dignity -1
So, you actually mean.
Decency - 1
OJ - $0
Ron Goldman's family - $100K-ish (after paying about $3.4M to the lawyers to go after OJ)
Actually I think they set it up so the cash would go to OJ's kids...
so...
Decency - 1
OJ - $3.5 million
Goldman family - somewhere still in the negatives.
