[Davey Rootbeer]

Gilbert grape

[frankenweenie]

Citrus flavored Orbit.

[Rory Storm]

I am thirsty not hungry, but I did have Sausage and peppers and onions for dinner.

[Vile]

I'm about to binge.

So, everything.

Steak.

It's not that, is it? Those stopped existing years ago, and I got really depressed because that was one of my favorite drinks.

The last thing I ate was toast.

[Charnye West]

Brian Peppers

That's a tasty burger.

[Young Jeff Bridges]

i remember those drinks. so cool.

[Forever Finite]

does snot count? i am currently swallowing snot.

I'm about to binge.

So, everything.
happy bingeing. stay away from bananas.

[Meat Load]

Pineapple.

[töm]

i never expected so many people to be eating while they're sitting at their goddamned computer.

this is like the first time i've ever eaten anything at mine. what a coincidence. :\

[t3]

your mother

See, the second I saw the name of this thread, I thought "there is going to be a "your mom" type reference on the first page. I guaren-fucking-tee it, me." And while the thread was loading, I was all like "yeah, and it'll either be reef, or robot." And now that i have proven myself right, I am all like "yeah, that was the single most predictable outcome since 'War of the Worlds.'

[töm]

you mean you read the book before you read the thread?

the book was better.

[tass]

hickory bbq 'tato chips. yay.

[t3]

you mean you read the book before you read the thread?

the book was better.

No, I actually didn't bother to read the book until after I saw the thread. The book was pretty good, but it kept going into a bit more detail than I would have preferred. And the constant flashbacks were confusing as hell.

And tom, the thing you gotta understand is that the thread is simply based off of the original story in the book, it's not intended to replace the book itself. Of course the book was better, but you gotta just enjoy the thread for what it is.

[banky]

I had Ham and scalloped potatoes for dinner ...

[töm]

i don't know about that. i mean, the director had little vision and he always chooses the SAME actors. reef? he's been in EVERYTHING! the book had a lot of possibility. i think one would be right to be disappointed in the thread. its only saving grace is that it might attract more people to read the original book.

[t3]

Well, a lot of points in the original story were left with some ambiguity to them, so there's some room for interpretation on a lot of things. Especially when it comes to things like sequence of events; books are capable of covering multiple overlapping events in a way that can't be as easily conveyed in movies and still have them make sense. Not to mention the complexity of the original story, some things just had to be glossed over in order to make it short enough. I mean, it'd be more true to the book if the thread took 3 hours to read start to finish, but who really wants to do that? Might as well just read the book.

I do agree that the casting could have been a little better thought out. I mean, Keanu Reeve would have made a much better "your mom" guy than reef. And Vile's walk on cameo was entirely unecessary. And I hated how the end credits purposefully had two songs cropped to fit in there, obviously just so they can add more content to the soundtrack CD. Psh.

[töm]

it was just awfully two dimensional. there was no emotion. it was just mechanical. "what are you eating? -- I AM EATING THIS." where is the HUMANITY in that? where is the strife? the book made me <i>feel something</i> when i read it. i cried when the protagonist lost his wife and child during a horrid childbirth. i lept for joy when the prince finally escaped from his captors. but it was all just boiled down to, "what are you eating?" i think that it's more than "glossed over."

and the vile thing was just fanservice.

[Demon_Ash]

Chips.

[exemplary citizen]

Tostadas.

[steffi]

sun chips. :)

[Evil Rabbit]

A stick of taffy, fireball (really hot cinnamon) flavor. I got three sticks of it from one of those county fair things today, as well as a candy apple.

[steffi]

sweetarts

[Charnye West]

I had some sun chips. And beef stroganoff.

I want a music sign in blue. In my name. For please.

[steffi]

do you mean notes?

[Charnye West]

Signs, notes. No difference.


Err, well, yes. A note.

♪.

[BeastDad1987]

I just had some temakizushi. Rice, cream cheese, and smoked salmon rolled in seaweed. It was delicious.

[banky]

Salmon makes me sick ... =/

<<<< Eating Fritos.

[Evil Rabbit]

fish in general makes me sick...can't stand the taste.

[BeastDad1987]

Really? Usually I'm not too fond of cooked fish, but I love sushi. Looove.

[HOMERCHESTRA]

Holy shit, it's evil rabbit. I think I remember you.


Oh, and I decided I was hungry enough to cook up an entire Frachetta's pizza (however the fuck you spell it) and eat all but one piece of it. At 1:00 in the morning.

[Awesome McManly]

does snot count? i am currently swallowing snot.


happy bingeing. stay away from bananas.

I... I have never been more attracted to you than I am now!

MARRY ME?

Yeah, but you gotta admit they recreated all of the major battle scenes pretty faithfully. And I think the location scout was dead on with the places they posted the thread from; they were perfectly recreated from the descriptions in the book. While I always like to use my own imagiantion for those sorts of things, some of the descriptionw as either too vague or too detailed, so the overal vision the author was trying to achieve was lost. The thread helped clear things up for me.

But yeah. I hear they've already got a sequel to this thread in the works, just because the first one was so successful. They'll just wind up mangling the story so they can cash in, greedy bastards...

But at least we have the 'what are youe ating right now' special edition 4 disc DVD to look forward to next fall. I hear a lot of the scenes that were cut due to time constraints will be reinstated in that release.

[Charnye West]

I enjoyed the characters (Vile, banky) added from the book into the thread, but I think they should have expanded on them more. The story, also, was way different than the continuity of the book, but that's to be expected and if you can embrace it it's easier to enjoy. It's too bad the author died before production began, I think if he would have worked on the movie it would be better and more foods would have been sampled. Still, I enjoyed the thread very much, if not for the Orbit, then for the snot. It turned out to meet my expectations.

[BeastDad1987]

My breakfast is a bowl of rice and these little tiny fish that are seasoned and you put them on the rice. It's yummy but if I look at the fish too long, I start to feel bad because I feel like they're looking back at me and screaming. 'Cause, y'know. I'm eating the entire fish. Eyeballs and all.

Ew.

[Modest Proposal]

...

you eat fish eyes?

eeeeeeeeeeek.

Yeah, I didn't even mind how the snot subplot was made less signiicant in the thread than it was in the book. The snot subplot pretty much made the book, but even though it was pretty much reduced to a footnote in the movie, I'd say the cinematography and the way they story boarded the animated sequences especially made up for it. The original music blew me away, but I wish thread makers would rely less on licensed songs. Unless it's a very appropriate song, it usually just cheapens the experience. Which they managed to do a number of times throughout the thread, unfortunately...

'Cause, y'know. I'm eating the entire fish. Eyeballs and all.

Ew.

Hawha, I had me all manner of weird foreign fishey treats in Japan. They have the best pre-packaged lunches in the history of packed lunches. I mean, they had ultra-seasoned meat of some sort, fish, vegables, and a number of other things I can't quite remember. We hae like, lunchables or some crap over here. PshAW.

[BeastDad1987]

The fish are hardly an inch long in their entirety. The eyeballs are but an insignificant speck on the fish.

It's delicious.

I'm really craving some miso soup right now.

[Charnye West]

My dad makes pretty good miso soup.

And Sukiyaki.

Oh yeah, I loved the music. The banjo part when Uchan found out that Orbit was no longer being made was incredible. It also had some great quotes, too. "Don't eat everything on a binge?" I still say it to people.

[BeastDad1987]

<img src="http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~fy7y-hys/kaeri.jpg">

Fish and cigarettes.

I hated the book.

Or the sort of euro-beat sounds they incorporated with celtic folk music for the scene where it is revealed that salmon makes banky sick. Genius.

The one thing I really didn't like, though, was the amount of comic relief they pushed onto the characters of mst3kman, töm, and Stage Beans. I mean, why is it that sometimes they interacted with the other charatcers normally while at the same time they seemed to be the only ones aware of the fourth wall? Repeated comments from them about the overall quality of the thread they are in were a bit humorous at first, but that kind of comic relief only seemed to cheapen the thread take on the story overall.

[Charnye West]

It sort of delves into it's own paradigm, doesn't it? Sort of like the salt box with the girl holding the salt box that has the same picture and on that box that the girl in the picture is holding is another picture of the girl, and so on. It's a very experimental approach, and though it wasn't done completely right, the effort is there and it did not end up that bad. Though I will agree with you, it did manage to cheapen the story. The thing was, the thread would not go on without the whole 'Self-Aware' story. It would lack a lot of heart without it.

[Takker]

I just finished eating a bowl of tomato soup.

[BeastDad1987]

I'm eating Toppo. It's like inside out Pocky, and it's a hell of a lot better. Cracker on the outside, chocolate on the inside.

I've posted the most times in this thread. I need to stop eating.

[banky]

Just cuz you eat a lot doesnt mean you're fat or anything. You may have an extremely quick metabolism, while I on the other hand, have a very slow metabolism, so even though I eat less than most people I know, Im fatter than most people I know. Of course my total lack of exercise or healthy physical activity may not help either.

[Sally]

Gobstoppers.

Mmm, Wonka candy.

[Lord Koopa]

Reese's for breakfast, in the afternoon.

[Linzoy]

I'm eating a wonka bar and zim doom juice because I'm careful to make my entire life revolve around television. Ugh, I just opened the zim juice, it's horrible. And it says "product not intended for use by children." ??

Haha. I don't move at all. I sit at my computer, occasionally go downstairs for food, and get in the car sometimess to sit some more.

I've been gaining an absurd amount of weight lately because my friend keeps calling me to go out for fast food.

I wish it was one of those, but alas it was just the gum.

I just ate baked fish and some veggies. Healthy food. Mmm.

[Sally]

Kendra's baaaaaack.

Chilie Cheese Fritoes, because that's all I eat :(

God I miss Orbit...

[Vile]

I had a taco ball. A sphere of taco.

Well from the one picture Ive seen of you, you didnt look fat at all.

[Sally]

Banky, everytime I see your name I think of Jason Lee.

[banky]

Well thats where I indirectly stole it from.

I stole it from a local punk band who stole it from the Kevin Smith fame Jersey Film series ...

[Sally]

Or Chasing Amy.

[banky]

Which is part of Keven Smith's Jersey film series ...

[BeastDad1987]

Well from the one picture Ive seen of you, you didnt look fat at all.
Which picture?

[banky]

I dunno ... before I registered I started reading the "Post your picture" thread and only got to page 7 but Im pretty sure it was in there.

[Sally]

It's not, he's lieing.

[banky]

Yes. Im being a total liar. (http://www.viewaskew.com/)

[Sally]

I wan't talking about that. You people post fast.

[banky]

Im at work with nothing better to do while telling retards how to get online.

[BeastDad1987]

Tapioca pudding.

I just got done with a dinner of unagidon (eel and rice), with ginger egg soup and sesame vegetables.

[steffi]

I totally plan on having katsudon tomorrow.

Hey, look what I found Uchan, in my food closet:

Also, has anyone ever had Coffee Milk? It's a thing that I believe is just made in the northeast, specifically Rhode Island.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/RoryStorm/DSC00068.jpg

[exemplary citizen]

Holy cow, Rory. you could sell those on ebay, you know.

[Vile]

So, would you die if you drank them? If not...

I think they deserve a new thread, for starters.

[Rory Storm]

What do you mean, a new thread? What's wrong with this one?

As for death..I'm not sure, lemme go grab them and check the expi dates.

[Rory Storm]

UPDATE: They actually do not have an expiration date on the bottle. And they didn't come in packs, also, it says patent pending. My uncle got them when they were first produced, they are originals. I have Vanilla Orange, Blueberry Melon Strawberry, and citrus raspberry. They are pretty neat looking when you hold them up to the light...how they swirl around and stuff. And the little gummy things inside of them, they stay suspended for like the 4 years we had them, which is pretty cool.

[Sally]

You know what other drink I miss?

Surge.

[banky]

You know what other drink I miss?

Surge.


GOD, YES!!!

That was the one drink I would give up my Mountain Dew addiction for.

[Sally]

I only got to have it once because my mom thought it would send me into a diabetic coma :(

[Linzoy]

I'm drinking a little juice box now.

[banky]

Bummer ... it was such a great drink too.

Back on topic ... I just ate a few Qdoba burritos and a brownie from our monthly office lunch. It was good eats.

[Vile]

A pound or so of taco nachos. And then I mixed cream soda with milk.

[Sally]

Chilie Cheese Fritoes.

[steffi]

homemade chocolate chip cookies.

[HOMERCHESTRA]

Why the hell do we make these threads? All it does is allow the idiot members to post two-word responses so they can pad their postcount and feel like they're somehow an accepted member of the community.

[t3]

Another thing I didn't like about the thread adaption of the book was just how LONG is was. Though Reverend's internal philosphical speculation from thoughout the book was well translated into a monologue later in the thread, I still think the ending should have come about a page sooner. They're obviously just trying to throw the premise up in the air so they can keep the sequels comin'.

[Meat Load]

Speak for yourself. Personally, I'm looking forward to "What Are You Eating Right Now 2: This Time It's Personal", "Son of the What Are You Eating Right Now", and the ambitious prequel "What Are You Eating Right Now Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

[Forever Finite]

psh. are you kidding? those were all directed by the one and only, JEREMY CARLOS PARKMAN, notorious sequel blaster.

i, personally, am really anticipating the 2007 release of "LOOK WHO'S EATING NOW: dangerous foods revisited"

[Meat Load]

I'll have you know Jeremy Carlos Parkman did some excellent directing back when he made "Post Your Pic: The Movie 2" and "Last Poster Wins: Part 7". Alas, if only he would return to his roots, the film world would take him a little more seriously.

[t3]

Has anyone been to IGN lately? I heard they got beta screenshots from the licensed PS2 and Xbox 'what are you eating right now' games. Though, I bet they'll also make a crappy GBA sidescroller, too.

I don't like how they reprint the original book with screenshots from the thread, in an obvious merchandising gimmick. The original cover art was soooo much better.

[Meat Load]

I can't understand why they hardly ever make these licenced movie-based games for the Gamecube. Doesn't Nintendo WANT to make money?

At any rate, I'm hoping we'll at least get some quality "what are you eating right now" action figures. The original ones based on the thread have been due for an update for a LONG time.

[t3]

One thing I am NOT looking forward to is when they start making crappy collectible 'WaYeRn' toys at Burger King and McDonalds and other such fast food eateries. And you just know that losers will be paying like 40 dollars for them on ebay like 20 years down the road.

Agh. I hope they don't try and make a crappy weekly cartoon based off the thread and show it on Kids WB or what have you. Those always make me sad.

[Meat Load]

Ugh, and imagine the food product tie-ins. "WAYERN-brand ketchup, now in 4 collectable bottles!" I can hardly wait. It's as if people are more interested in the marketability of the characters rather than the artistic integrity of the original thread. Sigh... What is this world coming to?

[t3]

It's all about the all-mighty dollar, my friend.

I hope it doesn't get to the point where they just release half-assed sequels and prequels direct to video, like they did with Tremors and Home Alone. Not that Home Alone was so great to begin with, but shit man. Home Alone 5?!> Who the hell managed to convince someone to make that?? I like to think some producer lost a bet. That way I can at least PRETEND nobody that stupid controls the fate of so much money.

[Meat Load]

I hear that. I have seen nearly every single one of the Land Before Time direct-to-video sequals, each of them progressively worse, and none of them matching the original in quality even remotely. I think they just stopped numbering them after the tenth one and gave them subtitles.

And as for Home Alone, I just plain don't get it. They actually ended on a semi-good note on the third one, despite the fact that it was obvious that they weren't really trying anymore. And then they go and make TWO MORE?! What the fuck.

[simloki]

[t3]

I just rmemeber one day seeing a commercial for "Home Alone 5", doing a double-take, and saying "holy shit, they made a fourth one?!" It's like everone thinks they can take a crack at making a sequel that's even more abysmal than it's predecessor, And so far, they seem to be succeeding.

[Meat Load]

I saw the fourth one in a video store and I was all like "WTF THOMAS HOBBES WAS RIGHT"
