Hilarious Recipe Videos in the Style of Famous Directors

David Ma is a food artist and director who recently made a series of four short recipe videos in the style of famous directors. There’s spaghetti and meatballs a la Quentin Tarantino (my favorite):

S’mores in the style of Wes Anderson:

What if Michael Bay made waffles?

And finally, here’s a pancake recipe in the style of Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity:

Hopefully round 2 of Ma’s project will include the likes of Sofia Coppola, Ava DuVernay, Spike Lee, or Yimou Zhang.


Michael Bay’s Hong Kong Incident

Michael Bay took to his website to describe an incident on the Transfomer’s 4 set in Hong Kong involving an air conditioning unit and the fortuitous wearing of Air Max sneakers.

Every vendor where we shot got paid a fair price for our inconvenience, but he wanted four times that amount. I personally told this man and his friends to forget it we were not going to let him extort us. He didn’t like that answer. So an hour later he came by my crew as we were shooting, carrying a long air conditioner unit. He walked right up to me and tried to smack my face…

And I’mma let you finish, Michael Bay, but Questlove has the best celebrity stories of all time.
