Say what you will about Woody Allen but this scene is hilarious.
Do you have any grilled cheese sandwiches? I’ll have a thousand, 300 tuna fish sandwiches, Fernandes wanted his on roll, plus hundreds more sandwiches and drinks, too many to name.
When we were 13 years old, my mom dropped my visiting cousin and I off to see this movie. She couldn’t stop laughing over the snake bite scene and that is the Only thing I remember about Bananas. Looking back, my fairly strait-laced mother would have been horrified at what we saw on her watch.
I’ll admit there are a few disturbing scenes but it must be put into context.
I’ve read the Larry McMurtry novel so many times both covers fell off. It’s about coming of age in rural Texas where there is absolutely nothing to do hence some of the escapades.
I can relate growing up in Houston my cousins lived on a farm 75 miles away. There was was fishing and hunting but it wasn’t good for 24 hours. The only other thing was Mad Magazine which launched me into comedic depravity.
My Aunt and Uncle never took them to “town” not wanting to deal with the freeways.
There were no nekkid swimming parties as in the novel/movie.
I enjoy this thread and try to keep it going. My problem is that so many of my favorite food scenes in movies are not available online. What do you think about starting a new thread about favorite TV show food scenes? There’s so much to pick from out there. A lack of likes will give me my answer. I just don’t want to take from this one. Thanks.
No thanks. I can’t say I appreciate you throwing my name into that thread. Let others have at it. No hard feelings or anything rooster. Just didn’t care for it.
Interesting, I thought you were suggesting a thread of that nature would be fun. You confused me. It wasn’t my idea. I provided credit to your idea. Oh well, easy enough to remove.
I’m not sure what you guys are talking about, but I always think of Ally Sheedy and the dandruff sprinkle when I think of The Breakfast Club.
Sort of food related. Huffpo
“Sheedy explains the scene was always in the film, and though she doesn’t know who actually drew the picture, she did set the record straight on one detail. The actress explained that dandruff she scratched out of her hair wasn’t actually dandruff or even Parmesan cheese as previously thought. “I think it was potato flakes of some kind,” Sheedy said.”
Maybe real cooks have never seen instant mashed potato flakes, but I (not a real cook) can confirm that they look close enough to dandruff to probably be convincing in a movie - certainly much more so than ground-up parmesan cheese.
Also, if you need to grey your hair for a part on an amateur stage, cornstarch is easy, looks good enough, and smells a whole lot better than the disgusting spray.
