    im convinced that if Obsession was the other way around as in the Nikki character was the man and the Bear character was the woman, nobody would have cared about this movie and it wouldn’t have been as successful

    There's a scene in Ghosts where the ghosts are watching the staff cook the sample menu & critiquing them. Sass says he wishes he could Ratatouille them. Alberta asks "what's Ratatouille?" Sass says it's a movie about a rat controlling a chef. And Pete chimes, "it's like the Bear, but a comedy." 😂

    The image of a singing chef tossing pizza gave so many people the wrong idea that even the movie Waiting felt more of a faithful portrayal of working in a restaurant even if the movie was crass and gross sometimes. The Bear really nails the image of the food industry so well that it left me stunned

    This movie is smug in a way that drove me nuts (like that show THE BEAR). Pascal’s resting face is “My dog is haunted” and it relies on that to make us think he’s tortured and complex when really it’s just standard womanizer dealing with his womens. SHAMPOO did it better. It also ends about 17 times
