During today's viewing of Julie & Julia, I noticed something that I thought was kind of funny--who knows if anyone else will...
BIG DIGIT COUNT DOWN TIMER
We see this kitchen timer in the pivotal "Julie prepares Julia's famous boeuf bourguignon scene" and it is the perfect example of what I would consider the opposite of Julie & Julia product placement, where the product in question could not possibly be more generic. I mean seriously, the name on that thing basically says exactly what it is--a BIG DIGIT COUNT DOWN TIMER.
Case in point--the "2:30" display certainly contains DIGITS and BIG ones at that. Also, the device appears to be a TIMER of sorts, as it presents a measure of time on its BIG DIGIT display. And presumably, the clock COUNTS DOWN, which is confirmed later on in the film. Thus, the name BIG DIGIT COUNT DOWN TIMER was born.
I realize that while most timers probably don't have a ton of words written on them, there's usually at least a company name or something. And I checked--BIG DIGIT COUNT DOWN is not a company.
BIG DIGIT MOTHERFUCKING
COUNT DOWN TIMER!!!!!!!
The propmasters clearly did not put much time into this one. "Hey Janice, what should I write on this kitchen timer?" "I don't know, will it ever be in close-up?" "I'm not sure..." "Ah, fuck it--just write something obvious... like 'Big Digit Count Down Timer,' but less stupid-sounding." "Uh, okay." "Trust me, it won't matter--no one's going to notice that anyways."
FUCK YOU, JANICE. I NOTICED.
FUCK YOU, JANICE. I NOTICED.

ReplyDeleteDAMMIT, RUPAUL MURDOCH. Well, they're not exactly the same...
ReplyDeleteDid you create an imaginary prop designer just to give yourself someone to yell at, or have you finally memorized the credits to this movie?
ReplyDeleteHere's another one: http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/32308-big-digit-countdown-timer-264-white.html
ReplyDeleteSince you're running out of things to blog about, how about you write a scene that SHOULD have been in the movie? That would be entertaining!
The best thing about this blog is watching you go from, "This film is delightful!" to "FUCK YOU, JANICE!". Hahaha!
OMG! I absolutely LOVE this movie and cab watch it every day! I think I might just attempt it, if it wouldn't make my husband and two kids crazy!!
ReplyDeletelol yeah like TB...you've gotten quite edgy haha.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog but I have to be honest - Any scene with butter or chocolate is worthy of an Oscar at the Foodie awards. if I watched this movie every day for a year blog blog would need a new name.

We had that exact timer when I was in college over 10 years ago. We LOVED it. We always referred to it as "Big Digit" as if it weren't an inanimate object :)

In the current monetary environment it is hard to get a business credit however not unimaginable. The initial step subsequent to being rejected by a bank for an advance is to tidy yourself off and ask the bank for input on for what good reason your credit application was rejected. usapaydayloanstore.com/chicago
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest, driving is fine and dandy, however there are unequivocal focal points to having your own particular method of transportation. Banks will secure advances for individuals who need to get their own particular vehicles, BUT just inside a sensible level. In this way, before you go out to your neighborhood bank and apply for a credit to get yourself that hot European roadster you've been dribbling over for as far back as year, remember these tips.
