Final thoughts on #MyDinnerWithAndre? If I had seen the film twenty years ago - it’s quite likely I’d be impressed by the movie, because I knew SO LITTLE about “life” back then. But I’m nearly middle-aged. I’m not “wise”, but there isn’t ANYTHING in this film that is “a revelation” for me. Ⓐ

Sample dialogue in #MyDinnerWithAndre:
#Andre: “How does it affect an audience, to put on one of these plays in which you show that people are totally isolated now, and they can’t reach each other - and their lives are desperate?”
#Terry: “Dude, that was a social issue way, WAY before the 1980s.” Ⓐ

Now having seen #MyDinnerWithAndre, I must emphasize I’m a long-time fan of #WallaceShawn - especially after having seen him interviewed by #ChrisHedges years ago. Shawn is a dude I really want to see succeed in life. I disliked My Dinner With Andre, but it sounds like Shawn is doing well. Ⓐ

Saw #MyDinnerWithAndre - a film loved by many. Not by me, but by many. The movie is about two dudes having a nearly two hour (mostly uninteresting) conversation about alienation (without ever mentioning #Marxist theory). It’s yet another #LouisMalle film I disliked. Ⓐ

Really wanting to watch #ScottBakula vs. #Dracula where it's like #MyDinnerwithAndre but just a meta-narrative hour-long exchange where Bakula picks a Dracula actor he wants to act with, and they hash it out.

I don't know what billionaires are doing with their money, but I'd commission it,💯% Yeesh.

You gotta get through an hour and twenty minutes of this boring movie before you get to the monologue that made me want to watch in the first place

*whew*

All of that for a very white conversation.
I coulda re-watched The Witches of Eastwick instead.

I introduce my upcoming fictional mini-series, a conversation with Claude.ai in which it pretends to be an internationally renowned chef in interview for a profile in the New Yorker. Link to my Substack in bio.

#MyDinnerwithAndre isfilm about two great schools of thought; the search for simple pleasures in the every day, of humanism, facing off against spiritualism, and its seeming war against the increasingly mechanised modernity, across a dining table.
One Place Only: My Dinner with André (Dir Louis Malle, 1h55m, 1981)
Two men sit down in a restaurant and talk, almost uninterrupted, for two hours. The two men are playing barely fictionalised versions of the...

This clip from #MyDinnerWithAndre puts me in mind of #CriticalTheory takes on #consumer culture under late capitalism, especially that of #FrankfurtSchool folks, who were studying why the #proletariat would not throw its chains. We have been lured into the mousetrap and caught.

Yes, I’m old.
But I also grew up in Quebec; sub 16 yr olds couldn’t go to public theaters.
