Rocketboom

39 Comments on Spotlight: Andy Warhol

  1. Squinty

    My name is Squinty, and I just finished watching a film of Andy Warhol eating a hamburger, as shown by RocketBoom. Sort of like watching an animal during feeding time at the zoo. One of the few times I’ve seen a person ketchup dip his/her hamburger…showing ketchup as a sauce rather than as a condiment. I wonder why Joanne did not introduce this one…..perhaps not supporting meateating films???

  2. That was totally action packed compared to most of his films. Sort of on a par with Raiders of the Lost Arc, in comparison

  9. It bothers me when people don’t finish eating their food. Something tells me that he didn’t particularly enjoy that hamburger, but….WHAT!? I just got to the end, and he claims that he finished eating a hamburger! He did not do such a thing! What a liar.

    And why did he take the bun off of the hamburger only to pour ketchup on the wrapper?

    The amount of waste reminds me of the episode with Joanne and the ink cartridge.

  11. Meh is right. He should’ve been eating Campbell’s tomato soup and drinking a Coke. But, the slurping sounds would be just as yuck as the open-mouthed, licking sounds he made while eating that burger. RIP, but jeez you eat weird, Andy.

  13. It’s funny - he raises his eyebrows before he takes a big bite… An ex-girlfriend used to get annoyed by my eyebrows if she watched me eat cereal in the morning for this very reason.

    As much as I love Andy’s art & he’s a hero of mine sort of, it’s a toss-up whether I’d rather watch him or David Hasselhoff eat a burger. The Hasselhoff version is much funnier, nothing funnier than watching an incoherent drunken slob scarf down a Big Mac. I found watching Andy eat, interesting but I watch how people eat all the time, fascinating. Just watch your next date eat, it can tell you a lot, might save you some anguish later. If she busts out her own doggie bag, run!

    1. People should grab a hand held mirror and watch themselves eat–they’d be in for a shocking surprise….

      ***there’s a casual friday story….film people watching themselves chew on a hotdog or burger

    I used to dip my hamburger with the leftover sauce that came out of my over saturated (with sauce) hamburger.
    When I was around 10-15~ years old (now ~23) I used to eat at http://www.burgeranch.co.il/. I thought their hamburgers were tastier than the competition, although every time I ate their hamburgers I had digestion problems and diarrhea…

    Now I’m a smarter person and I don’t eat stuff that makes me ill. Also, I am anosmic so I can’t smell if the food is rotten, so not all what I eat won’t make me ill.

    Well I guess I should accept yall comments about the Hamburger since it’s probably the same reaction that the normals gave when Andy Warhol displayed a painting of a Campbell Soup can in 1962. This particular clip (Hamburger) was originally in a Danish Film called “66 scener fra Amerika” (66 scenes from America).

    I had the same reaction when comments were made here about Joan’s silent episode. I guess the same reaction would have been made to John Cage’s 4′ 33″ silent composition.
