Those steaks looked so delish. I was thinking I'd like to eat those too. Kate finished having sex, had a little dialogue and still the steaks were cooking.
"Get the steaks off the fire!" I said to the TV. "They will be like leather soon."
(I have years of experience with cooking meat to the perfect temperature so this is a sensitive subject with me.)
I was sure they'd get them out of the fire after I warned them, but then Kate's new boyfriend decided he wanted sex again. "NO!" I said. "The steaks will be ruined."
So they began to do their thing on the sofa then I noticed the steaks had vanished.
"Continuity error," my husband muttered.
Am I the only one who gets worried about food on the screen? Whenever I see a sumptuous meal served and the characters only take a bite then have some crisis that takes them away from their meal, I always say, "I'll take that food. Don't let it go to waste."

My food peeve in movies is when even civilized characters talk with food in their mouths. I get it, that if the dialogue were paused (as it is, or should be, in real life) long enough for everyone to chew and swallow before speaking, movies would drag on twice as long, but---ugh!
Another thing (non-food) is when someone is on the phone, and the unseen party hangs up, there's an immediate loud dial tone. That's made up! When people hang up on you, all you hear is silence, in the real world.
Eliz! Are you saying you'd rather have a steak than sex?
I think it might have been true at one time. I seem to remember that if the call initiator hung up, the call receiver would hear a dialing tome, but not the other way round.
I'll have to try it some time if I can ever find two regular land lines.

I think she'd rather watch steaks cooking than watch Kate WInslet having sex.
