I just read a few days ago about how Tarantino saved a few boxes of Fruit Brute when they discontinued it just so he could have people eat it in his movies.

MMmmmmm. Thirty year old cereal.

In a similar way cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smoking seems to be very present in Tarantino’s films. Like food is more than alimentary, I kinda love the elevation of the everyday into cinematic story telling.

Scorsese uses food in Good fellas in a similar way, probably one of my favorite food films… the psychotic final scene around the meatball sauce will trigger the anxiety in many cooking folk!
