Stuff-your-face-day

So the last Thursday of November has rolled around once again. Why does this keep happening?!
Thanksgiving is a holiday when the family comes together to be grateful....though its mostly aboot eating large amounts of food. But you might ask: Don't people eat a lot of food on Christmas, Halloween, Easter, 4th of July? And don't those holidays have other more predominant traditions?!

Yes. But America is a country, where bigger is better, hence all the fat people. They did away with all the annoying tradition of other holidays that got in the way of them and food.

But now, lets turn to the movies, for some enlightenment on the topic of food. Food and movies are well connected, even just considering popcorn. I doubt that it would be the popular food that it is, if it wasn't like the only thing at movie theaters other than candy (well there is nachos and stuff too i guess). and of course Americans love them some corn- popcorn, corn on a cob, canned corn, sweet corn, w.e. Maize isn't as popular elsewhere. Also, there are some great scenes involving food in movies, from American Pie's....well pie, and that fat guy from Se7en who ate himself to death. Here are some of my favorites.

First, we'll visit a "happy" dinner, reminiscent of the stereotypical Thanksgiving dinner:

That's from American Beauty of course, my review of which you can check out in an older post.

Two of my all-time favorite lines also deal with food.

First, we go to Pulp Fiction. People familiar with this masterpiece, would assume the royale with cheese speech would go here, but that is wrong. Instead I'm going with one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema (which I have almost memorized word-for-word), but here I'll just include the first half, and maybe less popular part of the scene

This is followed by the whole: "Does he look like a bitch?" part. But what I love even more than that, is this:

Now we'll move to Full Metal Jacket a movie just full of great lines right from the get go with sergeant Hartman. But this just has to be the greatest exchange in all of military cinema.

And to focus on specific lines again:


And yes, I have recovered my collection, hence the custom clips. Well almost all of it.....I didn't realize how annoying it would be....sooo much typing and clicking

And as a final note:
