Name That Film: Food Edition

If music be the food of love, and any substance is to be metabolized by an animal to give energy and build tissue, play on. The belly is the giver of genius and nothing is to be more tiresome than eating and drinking if what you may perceive as religious deity had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. As a word of caution: there is a lot more juice in grapefruit than initially meets the eye.

The Film Edition could be searching for anything that provides mental stimulus for a whole group of society. Most think fast food is the equivalent to pornography, nutritionally speaking and those who forget the pasta maybe condemned to reheat it. Welcome to the Church of the Holy Cabbage: lettuce pray. It would be more than nice if the FDA stopped issuing warnings about toxic substances and just gave us the names of one or two things still considered safe to eat!

It seems we are all serious dietetic sinners. Only a small percent of what we eat nourishes; the balance goes to waste and a massive loss of energy, which means we're in the red again. We’re gonna require a continuous drip of pixie sticks, stat!

Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat. Now a nickel will no longer get you on the subway, but adequate garlic may get you a seat. I'll have you know we are presently living in a world where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons, never mind the best rapper is white and the best golfer, black...where would I start? Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. You’ve seen ‘em! I’ve been told, repeatedly, like a hammer to the head, the material world is merely illusion...so an honest guru visualizing whirled peas, should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst realistically as they are with raw carrot juice, tofu and the slime of seaweed right? This may be a unnatural inference?

Them belly full but we hungry and hunger could be the best sauce in the world. He who distinguishes the true flavor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise. One half of The Film Edition finds chopsticks frankly distressing. Who could be alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent the power of velcro, gunpowder, and the principles of poetry with a noble history extending back over 3,000 years haven't yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no civilized way to capture food? Who wouldn’t grow a little weak at the scent of bread rising? Given the topic’s rise, I may flutter and flounder as a fish out of water, void of control. It's like buttah!
As for the age old, butter versus margarine debate, we may trust the sacred cow, except when contained in a human herd, more than chemists, though it is becoming a decidedly closer battle with the cattle each and every day. You are what you eat, but don’t take that the wrong way. Common sense is a medicine in compliance with the master workman. If you ken believe it, training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education. The preservation of health could be seen as a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality. In general, mankind, since the improvement in cookery, eats twice as much as nature may have intended.

There is special feeling towards fruit, no doubt, in all its glory and abundance, and, I would hasten to say, this feeling has become almost universal....we respond to strawberry fields, forever, or racing cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke on most days unless you happen to picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Hunger is one of the few cravings that cannot be appeased with any other solution.

A converted cannibal may be one who, on Fridays, eats only fishermen, much to the chagrin of the scattering villagers.

The spirit cannot endure the body when overfed, but, if underfed, the body cannot endure the spirit, despite what may be said. A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after and yet there are but a few sights on Earth more appealing than the sight of anyone preparing food for someone they love. Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, and the grain that it nurtures. It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life. We must only turn to nature itself, to the observations of the body in health and in disease to learn the great and noble truth. This may or may not tie Jupiter's hands. Digestion is one great secret to life and time is the great physician splicing us all to ribbons. This is the bread of the Film Edition. Let us give thanks!


Amen, Brother Blood! Thanks again for another stupendous introduction. This week we go a new direction and focus on food in the movies! When you think about it, some of the greatest movie scenes ever have revolved around food, or meals. This fact leaves us many classic quotes that would be easy to nail of the first try. Here at Blood-N-Bolts Productions, we strive to make our clues challenging, but not impossible. So, read the movie food quotes below and see if you can name the movie they came from!

Good luck and thanks for playing, Name That Film!!!


1. "Ma'am, you've gotta understand that this is a lot bigger than any domestic problems that you may be experiencing."

2. "Medium rare? Hmmm, and aristocrat."

3. "Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?"

4. "Tastes like something I had when I was a girl."

5. "Can I just massage your thighs while you eat?"

6. "Now when was the last time you ever saw my boy throw up?"

7. "You are a human affront to all women, and I am a woman."

8. "Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast."

9. "Who can disguise, they have stars in their eyes, on this lovely bella notte?"

10. "You like your french toast crunchy, don't ya?"


Alright, let's see those answers! See if you can get credit for naming them first!

Thanks again to my pahtna bloodredsox and remember to check out the blood blog for more of his original stylings.

I am certain that #6 is Cool Hand Luke. Gotta love those eggs!!!

I think #2 may be Silence of the Lambs. It just sounds like we need a little chianti with that meal. 8^)

Love you!

BoltBacker21 said...

And my lovely wife answers number 6 correctly to get us one step closer to completion. However, I don't want to say you were wrong about number 2, but let's just say you went a different direction than I did on that one.

Love you!!!

Thanks for playing!!!

Hey Will,

This a pretty good week. The only ones I don't know are #4 and #9.

For now I will give you:
#2, "Goodfellas"
#3, "Monty Python's Meaning of Life"

I can hear Meg Ryan's voice as she says #7 and I am pretty certain it is from When Harry Met Sally. -- Lawn Gnome

SpeedBeagle said...

I'm thinking that #10 is Kramer vs. Kramer??????

BoltBacker21 said...

Always a class act bosox. Thanks for keeping it fun for everyone as you hold back and only give a taste of what you know. As for your two answers, of course, you are correct sir!

Excellent work and thanks for playing!!!

Lawn Gnome, great to see a new player in our weekly contest! WELOME!

As for your guess, you are correct on the movie and the actress! Very nice.

I hope to see more of you in weeks to come. Your clip will follow!

SpeedyB! Outstanding work, coming back and nailing number 10! I didn't think that one would go so quickly since Kramer vs Kramer isn't exactly aired frequently.

Great job and keep on swinging, you might remember some more!

Alright everyone, this could be the fastest game played since moving from our old website (fox)! Only numbers 4 and 8 are left.

By the way, I entered the final three movies that were not answered last week if you want to check them out. Go down a couple of posts to see.

SpeedBeagle said...

Bolt- I started thinking about French toast, and the more I thought the more I remembered the scene and the kid saying "That's not how mommy does it" then goes and gets the Eggo box out of the freezer.

Maybe #8 could be Popeye, but I've never known you to be THAT obvious.

Bosox 61 said...

OK nobody wants to play! I'll give you the last one I have which will leave only #4 unanswered.

#8 is "Pulp Fiction"

BoltBacker21 said...

Great job my friend. Yes, bosox, number 8 is Pulp Fiction!

We are down to one final quote! Who knows number 4?

Thanks bosox!

8. Pulp Fiction: "Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast."

love the Chaplin still

one of his truly great scenes

BoltBacker21 said...

Thanks Crazy! I appreciate you dropping in. Do you have a guess for our last clue...Number 4?

Hint for number 4: This movie has a candy name, but does not have Willie in it.

Bosox 61 said...

I know your computor is down and you can't respond but I'll take a guess.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
