Wesley and the hamburger


Did that boy truly eat those hamburger's like that?? There doesn't seem to be any "trickery" involved, but - wow....

"I'm for a stronger death penalty." President George Bush

Looked pretty authentic to me..I don't know how that could have been faked.

First, I love your signature. George Bush was said some of the most profoundly stupid things, in his 8 years as the leader of the free world. So many that his defenders just say "that's the way he talks". In normal life, when someone "talks like an idiot", they are generally thought to be an idiot.

Anyway.

I was amazed at what the character Wesley did in the movie, but I have to assume that, due to all of teh controls on child actors, that it was somehow altered. For sure, the second take, was just eh first take over. If that kid actually did it, even once, I say WOW! I can't even eat a burger in like 4 bites. It was a very funny part of the movie and really helped the overall "likeability" of the movie, which was otherwise a little weak.

Film is a cornerstone of any good life.

wow another person smarter than the president... everyones expert you probably make minimum wage like the rest of the bush bashers

reply

To icardinalredi - What do you have a detector that allows you to know when people are bad mouthing Bush or do you typically go around the boards looking for it?

Anyway I think it was fake.

reply

that was awesome, that kid had talent if he could do it for real.

reply

I thought that he had it in his mouth and he pretended to swallow and the hamburger that was still in his mouth was edited out. Like photoshopped kinda. Well that's what i thought. I really think it would be impossible for a 9 year old to swallow a hamburger whole!! :-)

reply

It looked like once they cut to him actually holding the burger and doing the "trick" it was actually a much smaller burger in his hand than in the shot before. Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks. But they look maybe double the size of a slider.

reply

I think they could make it hollow. I dunno.

reply

I noticed in the end the hamburger looked "odd" somehow. Now, this is a stretch, to be sure, but is it possible it was made of something that would somehow melt in the mouth of the kid? I mean, it's possible... Cotton Candy melts pretty fast... I'm just spitballing.

reply

Agreed. It totally looked like he really shoved it in his mouth (it was a small burger) but there is no way he swallowed it like that. His tongue looked way too clean when he opened his mouth, too.

reply

I think it was a bit noticeable that he didnt really do it: after he "swallowed", it was obvious that hes cheeks were still bloated. Its very simple with CGI to erase the contents of his mouth.

reply

I think it's fake. I've been able to fit a whole orange in my mouth but I still have to chew. He just ate and then swallowed without chewing at all.

reply

it was fake....you never see a bolus move down his throat

My response;

By reading your Bush basher paragraph, you must be democrap, *ahem* I meant democrat. Perhaps Obama supporter. I'm gonna go ahead and assume you are Barrack HUSSEIN Osama *ahem, clear throat* Obama supporter who suckered you to vote him with his smooth talks and big ass tooth smile. Anyway, you bashed Bush, I regretfully to inform you, well actually, I lied, I'm very happy to inform you that Obama is much, much worse than Bush. He couldn't give out a simple speech without his telepromter. He's a clueless fook. I have lot of damn good amount of proofs how badly Obama are. You are generally thought to be an idiot because you are most likely to vote a monkey, like millions other Osama, *ahem* Obama voters.

God, I love how democrap cried about Bush while Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and many more are crap! Have good day, sir. Not..

You all realize you're bringing politics to the board for a stupid Zach Braff movie, right?





"Oh, my God. Bear is driving! How can that be?!"

reply

And here we are, seven years later, at the end of his second term, and the U.S. is a lot worse for it. The most divisive president in U.S. history.



reply

Just saw the scene after reading the posts. When he actually puts the "burger" in his mouth, there is no meat between the buns - on neither take. That's how it goes in so easily. The empty mouth after that . . . whatever.

reply

In the director's cut (European edition) you get to see Mia Farrow perform the same basic act with Charles Grodin's enormous schlong.

reply

Yeah, it just looked like a plain bun to me. A regular bun isn't that big.
