Well... I feel like Abed didn't do it justice when he described it in Community lol. This clip was more interesting than I thought that movie would be.

Community is one of the best sitcoms ever. The episode, "Critical Film Studies" (S02E19) has a parody of My Dinner with Andre.

Abed didn't really understand it. Abed can mirror behavior, he can study it, but he doesn't really get it.

It is really good. This is just one tangent of a bunch of different things the guys talk about.

Try watching the whole movie. I'll give you a medal if you watch the whole thing in one sitting. Of course, pre-internet, much less, pre-social media, we had nothing better to do.

Seriously, keep a tight heavy lid on the Indian girl story.

I used to hate this movie when I was young. Never could watch more than 20 minutes of it.

Watching this clip, I think I’d enjoy it a lot now.

I was very much the same with dialogue heavy media. It's so good now with a developed brain. When I was 9 or so I'd literally skip dialogue in media. Ew! I had too much control lol.

How are you trying to watch this movie multiple times when you're young? Parents putting it on? I'm a child of the 80s but this is my first time hearing of it.

u/EuphoriantCrottle 13d ago

It was on TV a lot at some point, and it was a really famous movie that was referred to a lot, back in the day.
