Fame to see can be seen; You can see being loved. To be loved Seven hot dogs with several sides should be served, each tasty than the next, everything perfectly on a television blade from their soul mate, with which they wear suitable Disney t-shirts, and carry them To If you hand over this delicious exhibition of love with a small teething of your fingers over the Glizzy -Tableau, as if you wanted to say: “This is the magic of a joint Saturday – that is the magic of us. “”
Weapons Is a broadcasting, urgent, porridge Good time in the cinema, a worthy follow-up to Zach Cregger's surprise hit Barbar. Although I know the types of jumps that creeps Cregger, I accidentally grabbed the man's arm next to me at one point when he was over our emotional support for a second before I could. We shared a laugh and then turned back to the screen to share someone else than Josh Brolin one of the most suitable cases of “What the shit?! “ever made to the film. Gabbing About their favorite characters (“I am phobic”), Her biggest horror (first micro-bang viewing) and like Amy Madigan should be right in the Oscar conversation (ok, I didn't hear this sound bite from the butter machine exactly, but I use my own platform to say it now).
But even if weapons Didn't have created this kind of community in the cinema, a scene alone was enough to Find the Internet in a common high-sodium paroxysm. Not even a scene, but a single frame Show the finishing touch on a tray of the divided Hot Dog lunch between Marcus (Benedict Wong) and his partner Terry (Clayton Farris).
The Why don't you use your cell phone in the cinema! Not because a small animated robot that was balanced on the edge of a huge Coca-Cola Cup Miss all of this fun.
It is almost embarrassing to me when I remember that I assumed in the theater that I was uniquely suitable as an audience for this single shot I've never had a unique experience in my life. But that's not because I am stupid or that everyone else is a hot dog journalist. It is because of it Very short With a couple who prepares for a hot dog lunch. The Weapons Mock website for the city of Maybrook was already equipped with one Website “Hot Dog Recipe” (Ingredients: 4 hot dogs, 4 robust rolls, optional drizzle from mustard) before Marcus and Terry's ever broke the Internet.
In between mostly Rave reviews for WeaponsIt was talked about whether this film is around something. I would say: it's about one Witch WHO steal the hair of humans And lures their children away To blame your innocent vitality use Wand that she gets from her tiny magic Tree She holds back A scope of salt. Since when have films have been endangered about suburban children Red -haired monster with unique haircuts Not enough to form creepy entertainment? Does everything have to be one? allegory All the time now? The grief is on the screen. There is a little boy Hand feeds his classmate soup Because a witch Throw them a spell on them! The trauma comes through !!!
Sorry, I went out a little, but we are clearly here sub -city flaps. And do you know how I know that we do it professionally? Because There are hot dogs. A much From hot dogs! The scene, which shows Marcus and Terry's suburb, is so great, so closely drawn that every single detail suddenly shines in the technologyolor of Stifling Suburbia: golden hot dog brown, butter -like ruffles beige, creamy hidden Valley Eggshell.
More about “weapons”
Naturally, visuallySeven hot dogs that are clamped on a tray are automatically strange: it is the boy's dinner from the best, the meal before the most calorie and in view of the odd number of dogs for the same number of people, the potential of a mustard lady and the tramp scenario is inevitable. But the familiarity that these joint lunch relays are just as obvious. The hot dogs – and the practiced manner, how they are assembled with sides, desserts and drinks that are already waiting in the living room – split the life together and love of these two partners, as they create fun in the confidante, invest each other in the interests of the other. The humor – and yes, romance – this hot dogs makes the horrors to get all the more terrible. Hot Dog Saturday is not a allegory for grief or attack or generation trauma … it is just a very efficient piece of storytelling.
In view of the general obsession of the Marcus and Terry's lunch Internet, it seems the most romantic thing you can hear from your partner in a film is not “I love you” or “”Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi“Or even” Gitchie, Gitchie, Ya-Ya, da-da. “The most romantic thing you can forward to a lover before a witch turns against you is that you simply enjoyed taxes and laundry with seven hot dogs in this life.
The sheer number of hot dogs
As a long -standing hot dog lover and occasional hot dog journalist, I can see when someone is performative for a glass. Ullaubs-Hot-Dog-Esser who have sold out Pearls “dog days” Staud bag? Please people – our culture is not your costume. The only people who complain over 10 hot dogs in a pack compared to eight rolls in a bag are the people who do not turn hot dogs quickly enough to fill them up anyway. But with Seven dogs in one dayTerry and Marcus are TRUE Wurst slower, the rare household, which could possibly exceed Big Hot Dog by balancing the numbers with four packs of Frank on five packs of rolls …
Or course, Seven Hot dogs that are shared between two people is where things become a little more mysterious. Does Marcus get four because he is bigger? Is it the opposite because Terry noticed a larger appetite cook? Many seem to believe that Marcus and Terry want to become Divided The seventh dog in the greatest act of camaraderie. No matter how the dogs go down, the final answer is almost definitely that the hot dogs are not Exactly a metaphor, you Are A nice nod To Trevor Moore, Cregger's former employee The whiteest children you know. Moore was died unexpectedly in 2021, and Cregger said that the letter was written Weapons Was Part of his grief process. You can see Moore here in a sketch called “Hot Dog Timmy” who plays a doctor who is alerted to find out that his patient consumes … seven hot dogs a day.
Appropriate, Weapons Don't try to find out if these seven dogs are a daily habit. The doctor's office – like Marcus and Terry's beautiful home – is No place For hot dog shaming.
Mustard only (these boys get it)
Mustard is the rectangle of hot -dog spells only Have mustard, but all hot dogs have to have Mustard. Even these absolute animals in Chicago know that.
Marcus' Little Grabby Finger Gestures
The part of this scene cannot stop thinking about it – the part that passes on so completely that Hot Dog is more than just a pleasure on Saturdays, but a tradition – when Terry uses the last mustard bumper to the seventh dog and goes into the living room, where Benedict Wong uses Marcus Jazz finger If the tray comes closer, just too, Twist!Reach the right for a baby carrot first.
The carrot ratio
There is no diet culture in this home; There is only one Costco bottle Hidden Valley Ranch, which is pressed into a glass bowl of the size of the head of a 2-year-old. The associated baby carrot in a smaller glass bowl sind only a vehicle for murder bodies on ranch-ICular. But here is the thing that some people somehow think about this ranch (still outrageous, still beautiful): these ruffles? You are almost definitely Also get a ranch bath.
Ruffles for crunch, cookies for dessert
That means, Naturally These are ruffles. There could be no other chip. ((Please Do not mention wavy layers – not at such a time.) But a little sweet treat is just as important for a perfectly balanced plate as a little crunch. And Marcus and Terry not only assigned two chocolate biscuits, but also put a dessert on the midday shell with all other courses. Because you know what lunchles knew before you: nobody should have to wait for cookies, and no one Should have to get up as soon as you sit for Hot Dog on Saturday.
The soda? It's frozen. The TV? It is To.
Everyone knows that the chef in a house with the same distribution of the work cook and the non-boss prepares the drinks and entertainment. In the living room, Marcus Glasses cast ice-cold soda and switched on a natural documentary filmOh, yikes– Parasitic fungus that feed on prey.
A perfectly large hot -dog tablet
It is not my personal favorite detail only Marcus and Terry have a tray that fits exactly seven hot dogs, a bowl baby carrot, a larger bowl of ranch, a bunch of ruffles and four chocolate biscuits, but they also have another standing tray that sits between their chairs in the living room Location The hot dog tray. This indicates that many, many more meals have been shared here, with many, many more perfectly large shells, to record many, many more special common moments. (Oh no, I'm getting sad.)
Coordination of Disney shirts
At first glance, Marcus and Terry seem to have woken up on Saturday morning and attracted suitable Mickey Mouse-T shirts. This is already a crazy behavior in order to steer a soul mate who could not ever convey a number of hot dogs. But on closer inspection it is clear that they actually wear coordination Disney T-shirts: Shortly in front of the doorbell you can see that Marcus wears a T-shirt that represents an old-fashioned Mickey Mouse … while Terry wears a T-shirt that represents an old-fashioned representation of an old-fashioned Minnie Mouse. ((That's not fair; I'M SO SAD.))
Even more aid
In addition to the tray for the hot dogs And The tray for the Hot Dog platter, Marcus and Terry each have another TV tablet sits on the outside of your individual chairs. These tablets do not seem to be in use at the Hot Dog on Saturday, but they sit there, wait for fondue or spaghetti on Sunday on Monday or the nationwide celebrated Taco Tuesday. Weapons Is a horror film that often makes you laugh, but for a 30-second lunch break, Weapons is a romance. It is like that Opening sequence in High She knows so quickly and devastating: This is the kind of love that, when you are lost, would mourn for a lifetime. And if there is a consolation in these seven hot dogs (and the baby carrots and ruffles and ranchs and four cookies), we know that we died terrible deaths in front of Marcus and Terry, my god, have they lived?
