Not your typical business dinner:
Not your typical business lunch:
Robert Deniro in Jacknife, when he orders pretty much the whole menu for breakfast at a diner and eats it all.
A small part of Gosford Park:
Fish Fight!!!
I don’t understand what they were saying but amazing to see Robert De Niro in it. I esoecislly loved him in Ronin and Midnight Run.
Speaking of Ronin, how could we overlook Jean Reno:
Not my all time favorite scene but the recent AUCE take down thread reminded me of The Klumps.
All the food scenes in Big Night . From the starch to the timbale .
Where are my spaghetti and meatballs?
Okay, it’s sophomoric, but it’s food in a movie:
That Uncle Buck pancake makes me smile. My husband and I frequent a sweet little cafe for Saturday breakfast, where the owner will prepare a large single pancake specially for a young man who comes in with his parents. Apparently the young man will only agree to eat a large pancake—regular-sized ones won’t do for him.
Uncle Buck to the rescue again.
My husband has been having a bit of dental work, and says the dentist is recommending pancakes, and that only homemade will do. She and I go way back, but for some reason he doesn’t want me to consult with her.
I hope that your husband’s dental work is as easy on him as possible. Though I can’t think of a movie scene with mashed potatoes and peas, mash and peas is what I lived on for a week after I had my wisdom teeth out.
He’s fine. He just likes to eat my pancakes WAY more than I like to make them.
Then and now:
I’ve been wondering if I should watch that. I’m not a fan of too much graphic violence. Hard to guess with De Niro. But I’ll mostly chance it. Whatever happens…
On a recent household assignment to fetch pizza, the striking thing was the empty dining room looked a bit like a warehouse of boxes assembled and ready to go – some stacks rising at least six feet above the table top or bar top – and we remembered this scene from the Oscar winner:
We’d expect the staff would rather be overrun with filling phone and online orders, let alone handling table service, than getting ahead of their anticipated packaging needs.
