bag of fresh baguettes the crazy guy was carrying around. that's legal?


for one person to carry around that many baguettes must be against the law.

In a world where a carpenter can be resurrected,anything is possible

Golf clap? Golf clap.

That much bread is insane. He can't eat all of it.

They could have made an insanity case out of it and have him committed.

Don't you children know that you can keep bread in a deep freezer very successfully?

reply

It's very common in France: the armpit gives much more taste to the baguette!

There were only about a dozen and maybe he had the munchies

If a person with multiple personality s threatens to commit suicide, is that a hostage situation

reply

only about a dozen? only a bread smuggler would talk like that.



We have a pool and a pond...pond be good for you.

reply

Like I said maybe he had the munchies

The only bread I want to smuggle is packets of C-notes

Later in the movie after Arthur is dead MC looks in his Arthur's fridge and it is nearly empty, but there are several tubs of butter. That cracked me up.

reply

he clearly wasn't loafing around.



Golf clap? Golf clap.

why would it be illegal? could easily be for a party or a quick restock at a restaurant...?

bloomberg is cracking down on carbs too.




Oh, and remember, next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day.

reply

It's because Arthur is manic depressive. Once he likes something, he loves it so much he can't get enough. He talks about the bread very excitedly, too: "you have to eat this", "it's the best I've ever tasted".

reply

manic depressive over great french bread. it's been known to happen.



"It's for the pain. Rarely touch the stuff...Can I have another?"

reply

Just carrying one in shopping bag would be in accordance with cliche rules of Hollywood. Carrying 36 is like making fun of the rules, it has to be violation.

reply

yeah, the director clearly pulled it out from his baguette of tricks.

Ha, ha, ha, I love you dude! Definitely one of the funnier threads on IMDb ;P

Remember, the movie was made *before* Bloomberg was mayor.

Where there's smoke, there's barbecue!

reply

I don't care what he was carrying around I just enjoyed another scene with Tom Wilkinson. The man rules. He should have carried home the Oscar instead of Javier Bardem playing that killer with the monotone voice and a bowl cut. In fact, I can't see what Tilda Swinton did to get an Oscar either since she had no scene that required that much acting. One day Wilkinson will get an Oscar and I'll be cheering.

reply

indeed!

reply

Did you notice all the tubs of margarine in his fridge? I think bloomberg did make that illegal.

reply

 i can understand why.

reply

Oh that's good.

Thanks. But upon further reflection, I now think in his case it went more like:
1) Better bread;
2) Then, dead.

reply

Why would carrying bread be illigal?
