Daily Dialogue — October 2, 2019

“Nonsense, young lady. You’re going to start your day with a nice, big breakfast. Here’s some pancakes… eggs… sausage… some good crisp bacon… and of course, a ham steak.”

— Pleasantville (1998), written by Gary Ross

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Cooking. Today’s suggestion by @exploring128.

Trivia: When Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon) enters Pleasantville, she becomes a character named Mary-Sue. “Mary-Sue” is a term that originated in fan fiction to describe a character who comes into the character’s lives and completely solves all of their problems. It is also a fan-fiction term for an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often, this character is recognized as an author insert or wish-fulfillment.

Dialogue On Dialogue: It’s cooking 50s style in this movie set in a fantasy sit-com world.
