You may have noticed we’ve been banging on about noodles a lot this week. This isn’t stopping any time soon! Today we’re taking a break from eating noodles, though, to imagine a world of movies filled with more noodles. Yes, every great film could have been made better by having more noodles. This is a known fact.
