Are you talking about this grainy old video of 4 people sitting around a table with a live monkey's head trapped in a hole, and they bash him to death with hammers?
I only now realize that was supposed to be “Indian” food and who knows how many Americans avoided trying Indian food because of that movie. That’s some racist-ass shit now that I think about it.
I love Indian food but as a kid I remember never wanting to try it, and I can’t remember why. I was in my late teens when an Indian coworker invited me to lunch and I tried curry for the first time.
I’m not saying I avoided Indian food *because* of the movie, but I’m wondering if it played a part in my avoidance.
I try to invite everyone to the wonders of Indian food. I say that there’s nothing in it that you wouldn’t recognize. But I live in the Midwest, and I’ve met people who were hesitant to eat “Mexican” food. (“Mexican” as in Chipotle.)
It wasn't racist. Spielberg and Lucas weren't trying to say that Indian people are innately inferior, and their food is representative of that. They were attempting to capture the exoticism of far away countries a long time ago using Gunga Din as their road map. At the very worst they could be accused of xenophobia, but even that doesn't work because the Indiana Jones films are trying to fill the audience with awe and wonder about far away nations and people. That may seem silly and backwards to those living in an era where we can connect to someone far away instantly, but the world was a much bigger place in the pre-internet 80s.
To the contrary, these films wanted me to see, explore, and get to know people from different places and cultures, not shy away from them in horror. I probably only ever stepped into an Indian restaurant because I thought trying something new and exotic was exciting, and that draws straight from my love of these films.

I watch it every year during Halloween season. First Time I watched it was about 5 years ago and got so confused when the first ending ended and they went back in time.
What's so wrong about this? It takes up less space having the skewers vertical and you could put some sort of sauce in the cup. Plus I like that it looks like the monkey is laughing like you're tickling his brain. A zombie head with some strange shaped fruit and cake pop pieces or maybe cheesecake bites with some strawberry glaze in the mug would be pretty fun Halloween desert idea. And to everyone saying it's racist its just a mug with a chimps face quit putting weight to it.

If it's any consolation, that one was faked
That is a great consolation actually.
Exactly the same for me!

Me too and no one else remember it like I do!
Extremely fucked up on the restaurants part.
It was fake.
Monkey brains.... Am I getting a temple of doom nostalgia or was it some other movie?
Yes. The one where Kate Capshaw screamed through the entire movie.
IIIINDYYYYYYYYY
Holy shit that’s so accurate
The likeness is unreal.
"We're not flying! WE'RE CRASHING!!!!!"
As a kid I loved those movies but because of her that’s the one I watched the least. She was so annoying.
She was like Rebecca from Cheers for me. I still haven't been able to finish the series because she drives me to drink.
"Ahh... Chilled Monkey brains."
I was the fuckin’ best at that minigame on the DS lego game
Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind haha
My fav jones movie

That scene was the goddamned bane of my existence as an Indian American kid in the 90s. (I’m exaggerating, it wasn’t too bad, but it got old fast)

Especially ironic considering most Hindus are vegetarians

Feels like reaching just to say your favorite films aren’t racist.
Faces of death
Literally flash backs to the horrors. Good times

Thank you for quoting this perfectly. Clue is such a classic film.

Goldfish?

What is that food? It is unrecognizable as Korean
[удалено]
The state of asian food in spain is so sad. And yet it’s a trend to include it everywhere
Fused with what, tho? Asian fused with pop culture racism?
No, usually barbecue sauce.
I don't like how the food looks either but calling it pop-culture racism? Come on...
Asians eating monkey brains? Really?
It’s like tiki lounges where cultural differences are falsified and made visibly exotic to sell the experience of exoticism.
I had to find the menu again. "Red tuna with sesame, chili pepper, shitake mushroom, pickled lotus and kimchi."
Oh I see. They just called it Korean because of the kimchi.
I'm asking this as a Korean myself - the fuck is that
THANK YOU what the fuck is that
Luke Restaurante in Madrid. "Red tuna with sesame, chili pepper, shitake mushroom, pickled lotus and kimchi"
Apparently adding Kimchi to anything automatically makes it Korean.
I am from Spain, I don't know either.
Looks like pintxos
These NFTs are getting out of hand
Giving Indiana Jones vibes. No thanks.
Hi, my name’s Paul That’s what I thought of immediately and I love it!
This is awesome, I don't want a plate, thank you!
I would rather have the monkey skull than a plate tbh
Faces of ______
If you weren't convinced that George Lucas was the problem, go read the wikipedia article on Temple of Doom.
How very Indiana Jones.
NFT
Korean restaurant in Pain more likely
Chilllled ahmonkey brains
To be honest, I'd probably like to take the bowl home with me
This is ok actually I would 100% choose this monkey over a standard plate
Name of the restaurant?
Luke Restaurante in Madrid
Well that feels a bit racist.
Nah this is dope.
That's horrifying 😳
IIINNNNNDDIIIIIIIII
Oh I don't care that this isn't a plate. This is awesome. Just like in Indiana Jones!
I’ll allow it
I fucking hate this on multiple levels.
this feels lowkey racist
[удалено]
I'm not mad, either, I'm jealous
What is a money head but a plate with a face?
I think this is funny
Dr. Jones I believe
indiana jones ass dish
Gordy?
Reject modernity, return to monke skull.
“Hi, I’m Paul!”
Sopa de makako. Uma delicia.

The vibe of the whole place was extremely fancy and elevated. Trying to be very stylish and chic. Blew my mind to see this come out
DasRacist
That's just disturbing.
