What was up with that salad?


Did anyone notice about 25 minutes into the movie, Carolyn is out to lunch with her mother and there seems to be living sea creatures in it. Was that a joke I didn't get? Was it just supposed to be an eccentric yuppie thing?

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. I wondered the same thing. Nearly vomited after it showed that salad.

You know that was intentional. A lot of work had to go into that shot. They didn't accidentally end up with a salad with sea creatures in it. Yet they only showed it once, and it was only for a split second. Weird.

It was part of the satire about yuppie or wealthy people eating strange avant-garde food...

I hate it when Hollywood lampoons the bourgeoisie, as if they weren't a part of it themselves.
Speaking of salads, I wonder if the curry chicken salad she brought to the beach had live chickies in it.
