I already made that toast joke--it's pretty crumby of you to steal it.

Best Thread on DVDTALK ever.

This thread has nuked the fridge....


which contains said bread.

just got word from an inside source that criterion is getting yeast expert paris hilton to record a commentary track for the 2-disc dvd release.

The fridge does not freeze.

Doesn't anyone pay attention to the Gene Siskel reviews anymore?

Shit. None of the other threads I start make it to 2 pages.
I better start making stupid mistakes more often.
IMDB lists that 4,624 loafs of bread were used in the making of this film, almost half of which were sliced for the final cut.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the terrible CGI in this film.

I think they're pushing back the release date because there was too much loafing around on set.

It's Bake The Bread, not Nuke The Fridge

And to the person who posted 'this thread is the best thing since... well, you know'

Favourite Scene:

This thread Nuked the Bruschetta.

I particularly liked when

Did anyone else shed a tear when the credits rolled and "Make It With You" started playing?

I thought it was an interesting social commentary when the researchers were discussing why people think that wheat bread will not shrink as much as white.

Yeah, but unfortunately it lost some of that credibiliy by portraying the wheat bread in such a stereotypically "hood" manner. Not all wheat breads are yeast peddlers and absentee fathers.

Agreed. The filmmakers could've made it a less graindead argument.

Right? Just a crumb of subtlety, that's all I'm asking for.



-Doc

Indeed. Although the "country style" bread's scene was quite disturbing. Just because he had an expansive list of cultural ingredients, it got a little stale when he kept making racist jokes. Reminded me of the dentist on Seinfeld.

I especially enjoyed the duelling banjo scene between the country loaf bread and the white city bread.

Looks like Christian Slater is going to be starring in the first "Does Bread Shrink When You Freeze It?" rip-off called:

Do Muffins Feel Pain When You Eat Them?

weak.

This is all very funny, and I was laughing with everyone too, until I saw this at IMDB...

Night of the Living Bread

Now I'm scared to go in my freezer!

Favorite screencap

This just in from Spike Lee:

"This film is racist in it's portrayal of colored breads. I know many loaves of pumpernickel, and not one of them has ever spread mold on a white loaf as I saw in this movie. My next film will concentrate on a group of freshly-made loaves that bind together and, without the help of the white man's yeast, rise to the occasion."

Is that from the R3? I got the R1 and I think it's cropped

Have no fear. The R1 is the original "scope" aspect ratio. Looks like the R3 is open-matte, as clearly evidenced by the label at the bottom of the frame. boo!
