"In the future, everyone will watch me eat for fifteen minutes."

Andy Warhol eats a Whopper in Danish filmmaker Jørgen Leth's 1981 film, 66 Scenes from America--a harbinger of the scene from the brilliant film, The Five Obstructions, in which Lars von Trier forces Leth to eat a meal in front of the camera, albeit the setting is decidedly different (the bastardly von Trier places Leth in a crowded Bombay street surrounded by starved, impoverished masses).
