 | MOVIE #1,543 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 04.15.24 This film is prefaced with the message: “warning: nothing will happen. it will be boring. it's just french fries. there is no message. go home.” A plea that could be seen as a mantra for Mark's work on the whole. But of course it's never just that, never just french fries that somebody dropped on the street. Before the warning we hear a stranger say, “ohh, someone lost their french fries” then Mark, via voiceover comments that he wishes a homeless man would have come up and eaten the french fries because then the video would have gotten more attention online. He drones on and on about the fictional homeless person for three minutes. “There’s no reason I shouldn't have had a homeless person in here just licking the sidewalk,” he says. At the end, over a black screen, he tells the viewer that if they made it this far, they deserve a cookie and they should call him up and tell him that. He doesn't leave his phone number. |
