positive · AI labelView post →He also played Chef Louis in The Little Mermaid (1989), a casting decision that I assume was spurred on by equal parts "hey, he's a Tony-award winning musical theater guy" and "who's the Frenchiest actor we can find"

neutral · AI labelView post →I risk opening a can of worms, but I’ve rarely seen such coordinated intensity directed at an elected official with no major scandal as the targeting of the highest-ranking maker of a 2014 film about food, family, music, passion and redemption (the feature film Chef (2014)), Jon Favreau.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Chef (2014) directed and written by Jon Favreau is incredibly fucking funny when you remember the movie released right after Iron Man 3
positive · AI labelView post →(Though I actually had never heard of Tiny Chef before the Star Trek-canceling, silent film-junking Paramount twerps canceled it, so I guess that was a backfire for them. Anyway, it's so cute!)

The restaurant decor is slightly different with some movie posters since Jon Chu, their youngest son who was born after I first started going there directed "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Wicked". 7/7

Well, he would never, ever rent a film called Girl Sex. What are you up to?" The film in question was actually Spike Lee's Girl 6.

The obvious choices for The Cook is Swedish Chef, the Wife as Ms. Piggy, and the Lover as Kermit. But because of Michael Gambon's passing, the only person to do a similar job as The Thief is Tom Hardy.

positive · AI labelView post →I think Children of Men is 5/5 all-time great. Maybe my second favorite film of its decade. The Children is a very good killer-kids movie. Chattahoochee is a solid drama with good performances by Gary Oldman and Dennis Hopper. Cheeky has lots of boobs'n'butts. Chef makes you hungry.

Which led to trying to pitch every single bit of Disney marketing to aging Boomers and young hipsters. I’m sure every kid watching Disney+ reruns wants to see Swedish Chef singing Bohemian Rhapsody…🙄
