From the Sunday Denver Post:
Call it a duel: Two filmmakers eat nothing but McDonald’s food for 30 days.
One gains 25 pounds, gets gut-wrenching ill and goes on to win Best Director at the Sundance Film Festival. The other? Well, she’s losing weight and claims she has never felt better.
Quick: which do you suppose is the media darling?
Thankfully we have the Sundance crowd — with their personal chefs and trainers — to instruct us on how to eat. Otherwise, how would we survive…? And more to the point: should we even survive, given our pedestrian diets and middle-American sloth? (Wow, difficult ethical question, that. Somebody should make a film! — really probe the bourgeois lifestyle. There are Truths to be unearthed in the great fields of riff raff, don’t you think…?).
Now, pass me the goose liver…
My first guess is the director who ate at McDonalds for thirty days. At the end he was overweight, in a bad mood, no sex drive, and he threw up in the parking lot in one of his scenes.
The media, which hates McDonalds, would make him the “media darling” in my opinion.
But I can see also why they would make the other one too.
Its not clear.
So Jeff, which one was the media darling?
Both?
Thanks

You guessed right, Terry. When you’re next in Denver, I’ll buy you some McDonald’s fries. Large.
Don’t forget my homey, Dan Gorske. We eat at the same McDonalds in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. He is in the Guiness Book of World records for eating over 19,000 Big Macs. That’s one a day for as long as the Big Mac has been around.
I don’t see him often (and he wouldn’t know who I am) but, when I do see him he looks to be in fine shape.
