President Obama reportedly only ate half of the expensive sushi dinner he was treated to last night in Tokyo. Instead of savoring every morsel of the made-to-order 20-course meal at Sukiyabashi Jiro- dubbed the world's best sushi restaurant and the subject of the 2011 documentary 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi'- the President reportedly put his chopsticks down after only 10 pieces. The owner of a chicken restaurant that sits in the same basement as the exclusive diner told Tokyo Broadcasting System that Obama stopped at the halfway point even though the famed chef, Jiro Ono, was making each piece especially for the world leaders. Prime seating: President Obama joined Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for dinner Thursday at the exclusive 10-seat eatery but apparently only ate half of the 20 courses that the famed chef makes for each customer Less formal but not relaxed: A spy within the restaurant reported that the two men launched immediately into trade talks as soon as they sat down for sushi and sake

Unlike Obama, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe munched the whole way through the offerings from the legendary 88-year-old chef, who times the meal to the customer's pace. Adding to the drama surrounding their meal at the exclusive 10-seat eatery, the $300-per-person meal was billed as a chance for bonding but a sushi chef from the restaurant said that the leaders' chat was quite formal. Instead of making small talk and savouring Japanese delicacies at Sukiyabashi Jiro, Obama jumped straight into discussions about trade.Outwardly, everything appeared to go fine, with both leaders showing their informal approach to the meal by forgoing ties and praising the food afterwards. intimate: The famed 88-year-old chef Jiro Ono, who was featured in the hit documentary Jiro Dreams Of Sushi (pictured), is said to make each piece of the meal himself and serve it directly to the diners Hand-made: The menu at the restaurant, which was the first sushi restaurant to earn three Michelin stars, is made up daily and the diners have no say in what the chef makes them

'That's some good sushi right there,' Obama said to a crowd of journalists waiting outside. Abe said they had discussed 'a wide range of topics in a relaxed atmosphere' and added even more praise for the food. 'The sushi I had too was the best I had in my life, so far,' Abe said. The leaders were joined by American Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice.

I can tell from his expression he was very much satisfied,' he added. The dinner 'played a great role in building trust between the leaders as they had talks in a relaxed atmosphere.'Trade is one of the thornier issues at play in the three-day visit, with the two leaders under pressure to make progress on auto and agricultural market access issues blocking agreement on the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership.jiro dreams of sushi dvd for saleWe All Cry DifferentlyGiọt Nước Mắt Muôn Màu (2014)We All Cry DifferentlyShe Is WowCô Ấy Là Wow (2013)She Is WowBorn To Love YouChú Ơi , Em Yêu Anh (2013)Born To Love YouBuổi Diễn Phải Tiếp Tục (2007)The Show Must Go OnDisney Streaming Box Puts Kids Front and Center New Nvidia SHIELD Masters 4K, HDR, Smart Home Commands TiVo Bolt+ Makes Life Easier for Cable Subscribers Xumo Has Free Surfable Channels for Hisense, Sharp TVs

The show's first season was one of the highlights of 2015, and the just-released trailer for Documentary Now's second season (begins Sept. 14th on IFC) indicates that they might've done it again. Just look at this thing. I'm catching riffs on The Kid Stays In The Picture (just seeing Hader in full Evans regalia inside that faux office made me burst out laughing), Jiro Dreams Of Sushi (which was apparently shot on-location in Colombia), Stop Making Sense (Maya Rudolph's along for the ride on that episode), Swimming To Cambodia, The War Room (see a clip from that episode here)As was the case in season one, it appears the Documentary Now team has spared no expense in recreating the look and feel of their targets.

September 14th's just around the corner, folks. There aren't many movies specifically about Thanksgiving, yet many of us have three or four days to kill every November that are often spent binge-watching anything that puts us in the holiday mood. And while there are lists featuring movies that take place on or around Thanksgiving, we have yet to see a definitive compilation of the best things to watch this time of year. Naturally, we decided to take that awesome responsibility upon ourselves and present to you the ultimate Offbeat Thanksgiving Playlist! It's been a Thanksgiving tradition to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes since the first Turkey Day Marathon in 1991, so for many fans the cult TV show is synonymous with the holiday of feasting. But even if you didn't turn on Comedy Central to watch Joel, Mike, Tom Servo and Crow riff on bad movies every year, any time is a good time to start including some MST3K in your annual traditions. There are many great episodes to choose from, but more hardcore MSTies choose Mitchell than any other this time of year.

Maybe you don't have time to commit to a full-length film and would rather just watch some YouTube-worthy video clips. Look no further than the (very R-rated and very NSFW) fake trailer for Thanksgiving from Grindhouse. Directed by Eli Roth, the trailer teases a slasher movie featuring a killer dressed as a pilgrim. The faux preview is so good we almost wish it was a real film — although killing people who are asleep on the couch during a post-meal Thanksgiving nap might not make for very exciting cinema. Food is the theme of the day, and food is the theme of this excellent animated feature. The story of a rat with impeccable tastes and surprising culinary skills has plenty of kid-friendly fun, but the fine folks at Pixar make sure their movies' appeal won't drop off with the audience's age. Adults will find plenty to love in this thoughtful, beautifully animated film that will probably be the only time in your life when seeing a rat near food causes you to say "Awwww" instead of "Holy $#&% someone call the exterminator!"

As you may have noticed in my post of 15 Perfect Halloween Movies & TV Shows, I am a little bit fascinated by the animated world of Charlie Brown. The Thanksgiving special is no exception — while it may not be quite the holiday classic that the Christmas and Halloween specials have come to be, it has all the elements that make these cartoons so bizarrely great. Most notably: all the Peanuts kids are celebrating Thanksgiving together in a world where adults are creepily absent and elementary schoolers are responsible for the whole event. If you're trying to impress your Thanksgiving guests with how cultured you are, pop this Academy Award-winning Danish film into your DVD player. It's all about the healing power of great food, the bonds that form when sharing a meal, the preparation of the feast of a lifetime and oh my God give me turkey to eat right now. What's food without drink? Enjoy the appreciation of fine wine with the misadventures of Miles and Jack in California's wine country, complete with car crashes, golf course assaults and a healthy serving of uncomfortably embarrassing moments.

I'll drink to that! Despite the fact that Christmas decorations go up in malls in October and holiday music starts playing on the radio in early November, in many ways Thanksgiving kicks off the end-of-year holiday season. The next day is Black Friday, when everyone stampedes the stores and buys a whole bunch of stuff to keep for themselves to give as gifts to others in December, and then it's head-first into Hanukkah-Christmas-Kwanzaa-New-Year's-etc time. So while that should be reason enough to watch a Christmas movie on Thanksgiving weekend, I'd like to point out that Miracle on 34th Street actually starts on Thanksgiving. Now you totally can't argue with this recommendation! The nonstop snowy scenery in this movie will want you to keep the fire roaring, but it's also the cure for the overdose of sentimentality that we all get this time of year: it's about curmudgeons insulting each other and fighting over a woman. Oh, and it takes place at Thanksgiving! What's not to like?

A very grumpy Thanksgiving. "Why would you recommend a quirky British comedy from 1983 that explores the various stages and big questions of life in a series of hilarious sketches as something I should watch while stuffing my face with turkey on Thanksgiving?" is a thing you might reasonably be asking me right now. I present the obvious answer to you in this scene. Further commentary is unnecessary. You're probably not eating raw fish for Thanksgiving, but it's fascinating to watch someone who literally thinks of nothing all day except how to prepare the best possible food he can make (and judging by the month-long wait and $300 price tag for his restaurant, he's doing something right). Maybe it will inspire you to think really, super-hard about whether or not to put marshmallows on your sweet potatoes. Or maybe you'll still be serving cranberry sauce in the shape of a can this year. Totally nothing wrong with that, by the way. If you have any level of guilt from eating turkey meat, let this low-budget masterpiece of so-bad-it's-good filmmaking be your penance.

It's not really about turkeys exacting their revenge on humans, but it's close enough. Birdemic is like Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds but with extremely high-end special effects. See for yourself in the trailer! Rocko fills you with nostalgia even when it's not an episode about a cherished holiday, so any time it is about a cherished holiday, well... Those moments are just something a little extra special, aren't they? It's a movie about a giant bird! True, they don't cook and eat said bird (though there is a turkey truck involved), but the comparison to Thanksgiving still totally works. Plus, you get to see some favorite Sesame Street characters like Kermit the Frog and Snuffleupagus, cameos from John Candy (the star of another movie on this list) and Waylon Jennings, and if you think this one's just for kids, think again — Follow That Bird actually winds up getting rather dark (kidnapped Big Bird, anyone?). Now this is a Thanksgiving movie. I mean, the whole goal is for them to get home for Thanksgiving, so not much of the film actually takes place onthe holiday itself.
