IDK about y'all, but I get really fixated on certain scenes in movies. Sometimes, it's fashion montages, but usually it's centered around food. My favorite one is the scene in The Devil Wears Prada when Andy's boyfriend, Nate, wigs out over $8 of Jarlsberg in the sandwich Andy was about to throw away.
So when I came across this thread on www.twitter.com about food scenes that people are fixated on, I thought to myself, "Wow, these are my people."
just-me-and-my-boyfriend-alone-in-our-apartment theory: everyone has a movie meal that looms large in their mind. mine, for some reason, is the pizza and beer all the beauty queens eat in miss congeniality. what is yours please (we've been alone for five days)
