“Jean Luc, my mentor – the guy who gave me a chance as a chef – said to me it was God who created oysters and apples. And you can’t improve recipes like that. But it is our job to try. Being a young chef, I sure as hell tried. I spent ten years cooking in Paris and became head chef of Jean Luc’s restaurant. I was good. Some nights I was almost as good as I thought I was. At least that’s what I’m told. Then I destroyed it all. My devils chased me out of Paris and I washed up in New Orleans. I sentenced myself to hard labor shucking oysters. 999,999. And today’s the last day of my penance. One million.”
Adam Jones, Burnt (2015)
Pills in the morning, afternoon and evening but…
Numbah! Norman
Studying war and tank stuff for upcoming part and I ended up on Fury again. Steven Price’s soundtrack has this theme that keeps surfacing; that fully unfurls with Norman. What a cracker. What a film. Do not watch with snacks.
Do that kind of acting
Many Ridley Scott titles sit on my Favourite Films list, but I’ve never got around to watching Thelma and Louise…until now. It’s hard to believe this film is 33 years old – it’s an immaculate piece of work. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are electrifying in the title roles – performances now filed under: Do that kind of acting!
