Delicious Dinner: American Beauty

This is one dinner table we're glad we're not a part of. Can you say AWKWARD?!
In a sick, twisted way, we were absorbed while Lester Burnham came apart at the seams...

This dinner scene is one of those moments where you just KNOW someone's gonna lose their shit any second, and you can smell the tension in the air. No wait, turkey gives me gas. Sorry.

Now would someone please pass Spacey the EFF-ING ASPARAGUS!!

Angie, couldn't agree more. It's always a challenge for any film maker to really convey pure feelings and well, i could definitely feel the tension. I remember the first time i watched it... broke two saw blades and a butcher knife trying to cut the tension.
