More Cinematic References to the Liver
Still on an Oscar kick,
I did more liver searching in the Internet Movie Database (imdb). There
are 5 titles listed for cod-liver oil, along with mentions of chopped-liver,
calf-liver, liver pâté, liver soup and goose liver.
The term liver-transplant shows up 13 times, most famously
in Seven Pounds starring Will Smith.
Liver-failure, liver donor, cirrhosis of the liver, liver abscess, liver-disease
and liver cancer. For what it’s worth, I stopped watching House because I am disgusted with how he treats hepatitis C.
Also mentioned in imdb: liver-spot and liver-eating-mutant (an episode of The X-Files). The liver is sooooo cinematic.
