New Animated Comedy Has The Premise That Food Is Terrified Of Being Eaten
We famously learned the inner thoughts of toys a generation ago in Toy Story. Now we are about to hear the inner thoughts and feelings of food that is brought to a human's kitchen from the grocery store. Spoiler, - the food is terrified to learn it will be consumed. Lot of running around and screaming goes on. Maybe soon we will learn in a "comedy" film of the separation anxiety and terror feces and pee must feel as they are about to be expelled from the human host.
I have to admit I am not a big Seth Rogan fan, and Rogan is evidently the "genius" behind this premise.
I'm a little more old fashioned, I guess. I don't think a head of cabbage or a Twinkie is afraid of being eaten. To the contrary, I believe they WANT to be eaten. It fulfills the purpose of their present existence.
Of course , in the cartoon, we get the spectacle of seeing various vegetables yelling "FUCK" as they scramble around trying to hide, or whatever it is they are doing. A potato screams in pain as it is peeled.
It is not difficult to imagine this will be a hit. We do live in a strange , strange world.

Count me out.
UGH. All of life is conjugation of the verb, "To eat". NOW, I have to feel guilty for eating veggies? Count me out...
I see it as another example of a cultural race to the bottom. We have run out of good ideas.
I am so sick of recycled movies... Leave the old movies be!!! They're great, as is!
HAHAHAHAHAHA - I'm so watching this when it comes out.
Yeah, I know.......I'm a little disturbed.
Easily amused, I would call it.
:op ....raspberry
are you cursin at me in a ferign language?
hahaha - No, I would not curse at you John. :o)
This is either a joke, or some sort of stupidity endurance test.
Tell me about it.
I'm absolutely going to see that. You made it sound pretty awful, but when I finally watched the clip I knew that Seth had created another jewel. As they say, there's no accounting for taste.
I think I described the clip quite accurately. It could be that there is more to the plot, maybe things that have a more satitric bent than what we see in the clip, but all I went on was the clip.
I'm not aware of what is supposed to be funny about pretending vegetables can think and feel like people. What is the point?
But you are right, people have different tastes.
Seth Rogen is excellent at parody, highly intelligent, and a fellow atheist, so chances are I'm going to love it. I know I won't be offended, no matter what.
I'm not worried about being offended. I am worried about being stupified. Then again, I am not going to watch it so I guess I'm not worried about anything.
There could be a grain of truth to the plot. In university I took courses in Botany and Zoology (since then they have been combined into Biology) and was fascinated by the fact that there are plant life forms that are far more advanced than some animal ones. Take for instance the contrast of a Venus Fly Trap with an amoeba. At what point could plant life develop feelings, emotions? Actually their horror would be earlier than when being consumed - why not when they are picked? I can just imagine it - an apple silently screaming "NO, NO, NOT ME!!!" or would it be the tree screaming "LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE!!!"?
BUZZ!!!!
I stopped reading your post after the first sentence. I don't want to know what you learned or if there is any truth to the movie's theory that food can feel. Now, I'm going to stop eating and wither away to nothing.............wait a minute, on second thought this could actually be the diet plan of all ages! YES!! We could market it as a diet plan. All people would have to do is read your darn post and watch the movie. They wouldn't even have to exercise at all. Of course they wouldn't be in shape but hey, who cares, they'd be skinny!!! We could make millions I tell you, millions......mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha (evil laugh)
