Jennifer 8. Lee talks on TED about the origin of Chinese-American dishes, pretty cool. For example, fortune cookies are from the Japanese, and obviously many dishes we love aren't even recognized by regular Chinese, but we kinda knew that. Broccoli was never a huge Chinese vegetable.

Jean-Luc Godard Meets Woody Allen

noreply@blogger.com (Staff) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 02:13:00 +0000

OpenCulture posted this interesting video they found from Metafilter... enjoy!

According to OpenCulture, this was "filmed in 1986, 'Meetin’ WA' is a short (26 minute) film that not many have seen. What you get is Godard, one of the driving forces behind La Nouvelle Vague, in conversation with Woody Allen. The trademark Godard approach to film, the expected dose of Woody Allen neuroses - they’re all there. Hat tip to Metafilter for bringing this one to light."

But we keep forgetting --which one made 'Bananas'?
