Dark Destinations by fatherm Alone 7 00:00:39.119 --> 00:01:23.920 at Weirdingwaymedia dot com weird Welcome back midnight viewers to Anthologies Attack. I'm your 8 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.879 host, Father Malone and with me as always co host Antonio Lapour Buenos Dias, 9 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.079 Father Malone, Buenos Noce is. Depending on where you are in the 10 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.519 world, We're in the same spot as previous episodes have noticed where we're branching 11 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.680 out in the anthology universe. Here stepping away from horror. We're stepping all 12 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.159 the way from horror. Here, we're stepping away from all most in all 13 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.079 genre. Here, this is all just straight up filmmaking, an anthology film 14 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.879 in the eldest tradition of anthology films. Just three short stories here. The 15 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.799 connective tissue is the city of New York. Thus, the filmmakers involved Woody 16 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.879 Allen, Franciscort Coppola, and Martin Scorsetacey. They've all gotten together to tell 17 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:23.199 us some New York stories. I'm fifty years old. I'm a partner in 18 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.879 a big law firm. You know, I'm very successful, and I still 19 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:35.560 haven't resolved my relationship with my mother. Zoe. I noticed it's difficult your 20 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:42.159 father and I. I'm trying to reconciliation. What but I'm moving out? 21 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.719 Where you're gonna go? What can you afford? You don't want to sleep 22 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:46.960 with me anymore? Hey, I'm a big boy. You don't have to 23 00:02:47.000 --> 00:03:00.439 blot in the street. We're still an employer employee, right. My mother 24 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.080 always humiliates me. She just gives me a hard time. She she's always 25 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.840 telling me that I look terrible. Hi, man, I hope we're not. 26 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.840 Hi. How are you gee? You look terrible? My mother did 27 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.639 it again? How do you suppose I feel with her out there calling me 28 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.599 all those strange foreign names? What's the corva anyway? Oh? It's Jewish 29 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.520 for what? It's a horror Hello, room service, send up a room. 30 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.759 Just kidding, it's me. I'm a little bit in hot water. 31 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.639 Maybe I can help pap going on. We're having a costume party, a 32 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.319 big custom party. Got anything. I'm taking a vacation, so we you're 33 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.039 desperating. You tell me is twelve years old. You should listen to her. 34 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.840 I didn't go to Florida with a girlfriend, like I told you. 35 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.360 Somebody else. I appreciate heard kitty and he's here a scorn split left me. 36 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.719 Okay, o the right. It's just some guy. I said. 37 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.199 You have to go right up in his face to night. It's not him 38 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.199 walking with me and make an entrance with the firepower. Why do you make 39 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:17.560 me do that? Listen to it? I love him. What are you 40 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.360 doing? I'm speaking with a dead friend of mine. Would you rather tell 41 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.240 privately? Because I couldn't wait? No, no, no, no, 42 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:31.480 that's not necessary. We're not discussing anything personal. I'm the daughter and you're 43 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:39.879 the mother. I'm the mother and you're the daughter. Sometimes I feel I 44 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:45.360 should just quit suicide. This is a time of place. You're right in 45 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:51.800 the heart of the heart. Put this is New York. It's here for 46 00:04:51.920 --> 00:05:04.720 you. You know his spot That was completely ball too. I'm not completely 47 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:19.639 cool. It will bait New York Stories. This was released on March tenth, 48 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.279 nineteen eighty nine. As I said, it is a trio of tales 49 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:30.319 the directors Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola, well three 50 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.560 months before Batman. Ah oh yeah, exactly right. Yeah, that's BB 51 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:42.800 and AB Right. So the conceit is, I guess, just go make 52 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.120 some movies about New York. Now, Initially the third filmmaker was not going 53 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.879 to be friends Fort Coppola. It was Stephen Spielberg, which makes little to 54 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.319 no sense given how West Coast a human being he is. Nevertheless, once 55 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.639 Francis Ford Coppola became involved, the key dropped out deleteriously. So I would 56 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.439 say, but we'll get to the content in a moment. Let's just start 57 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.079 at the top, And we really are starting at the top. I think 58 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.120 our first tale is Life Lessons. This one is written by Richard Price, 59 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.720 who was pretty much the hottest New York biographer during the nineteen eighties his novels 60 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:24.879 Clockers. He an incredible voice, an incredible writer, and can't think of 61 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:29.600 anyone better at that moment to sum up New York City for Martin Scorsese, 62 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.839 it was Schrader in the seventies, but I think right here Richard Price is 63 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:38.639 doing it. This one stars Nick Nolty and Resent ar Kent. Story about 64 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:43.160 a painter, Lloyd Dobby, who is he has an assistant, a younger 65 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.079 assistant. He is an old man, he's all Picasso out there, and 66 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.480 this is about him coming to terms with her and his relationship with her and 67 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.319 her relationship to him, and they sort of a weird master apprentice thing. 68 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.759 She's his assistant, his painter's assistant, but she's also his lover, and 69 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:01.800 they share a loft together, and we get the sense that this is not 70 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.120 the first assistant he's had in the loft, but he is trying desperately to 71 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.519 keep hold of her, and she's trying to branch out on her own. 72 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.800 What'd you think of this one, man, I honestly, I'm not a 73 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.720 fan of pretty much any of these. I found that in this picture, 74 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.639 all the protagonists, all the main characters, were really, really, really 75 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.759 unlikable. In some cases I would say despicable, but go ahead, and 76 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.800 he's despicable. He's just and he's not an old man. He's like our 77 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.959 age. He's like forty nine fifty in this movie, I would say that's 78 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:40.240 old, but continue Jackson Mary Jackson pollocky. Yeah, thats another who I 79 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.879 thought of. And even it's funny because they mentioned like he's friends with Jackson 80 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:53.000 Pollock and stuff. I feel like he's not as good as an artist as 81 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:59.480 his press is making amount to be, and he kind of knows that as 82 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.319 a character. Like I'm watching this movie, I'm like, oh, his 83 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.519 art's okay. You know, I'm a bit of an artist. I'm like, 84 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.759 it's okay. My eyesn't like, oh, this guy's an amazing painter 85 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.040 or anything like that said, okay painter. I feel like he's probably not 86 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.920 as good as he as everyone thinks he is, like I said, and 87 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.720 he's just a giant, fucking asshole. I would have rather seen this story 88 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.519 from her perspective than his. Yeah, I think ultimately you have to think 89 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.199 that it is because well, no, it's not. I mean, this 90 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.159 is definitely his story. You're right, But at the end of the day, 91 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:41.519 she doesn't suffer at the and she does provide there's the briefest of moments 92 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.480 where Nick Nolty recognizes all of his bullshit right at the end when he's about 93 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.919 to take on the new assistant, where he's sizing her up and realizing, 94 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.200 yeah, she's absolutely right about me. This is just who I am, 95 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.720 This is just the next thing, and yeah, you hit the nail right 96 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:05.919 on the I feel like Scorsese is kind of working through some shit on his 97 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:11.120 in this story, because as you see his you know, he's probably about 98 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.000 fifty making this movie, right, and as you can see, his young 99 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:20.000 girlfriend is playing the friend because that he was with the Iliana Douglass at that 100 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.440 time. It's a cavalcade of Scorsese people in the movie. But yes, 101 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.240 I noticed Leana Douglas right away, and I'm going, oh, look, 102 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.240 there's Scorsese's cute young girlfriend, and here's the guy Doug dealing. So I 103 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.159 feel like there's some a lot of like self reflection going on in that movie. 104 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.799 And it's weird because it's like he's in that period. I think he's 105 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.399 hit middle age because like his movie before this is Last Impatient of Christ, 106 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.039 which really just goes into his whole upbringing as a Catholic, as being you 107 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.000 know, various. I don't know about you, but very similar to mine. 108 00:09:54.039 --> 00:10:00.559 I'm cuban. I know what he grew up with because I the same 109 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.840 thing. I was an older boy and all this stuff. I really liked 110 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.120 the pageantry of it and all that stuff. Like him. That's where I 111 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.480 first acted, playing Jesus when I was a little boy, or you know, 112 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.720 so sure, I was in the May Parade, Irish Catholic here, 113 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.519 so we were all similarly fucked in the head from an earlier age. And 114 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.840 so but then his next movie, then he does this short piece or is 115 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.519 about this middle aged artist dealing with you know, getting older and him still 116 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.360 liking young tale and if he's trying to feel like he's a fraud or not 117 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.559 for that. You know, I always think it's just a question of you 118 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.639 know, you just don't grow up. Artists tend to not grow up, 119 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.240 so you know, they tend to like younger women, I think, and 120 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.080 younger men as far as we can see Madonna and Share and any other number 121 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.320 of successful lady artists too. Maybe that's it. I don't know. Well, 122 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.799 you know, the thing is, what's better than someone adoring you who 123 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.759 hasn't heard any of your old barring stories exactly? Yeah, it's a good 124 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.720 point. And then the next movie is Good Found, which is about the 125 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.799 neighborhood more or less the people he grew up around. You know, yeah, 126 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.399 he wasn't a gangstory that, but he talks about I grew up in 127 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.120 a neighborhood. I knew these guys. So I feel like there's a lot 128 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.320 of self reflection in that time period of his movie making. So maybe that 129 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.120 hasn't to do with it. I think so. I think this one is 130 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.240 actually wildly successful. You know, I'm certainly no stranger, and you aren't 131 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:28.519 either. Too unlikable protect movies. You know, this isn't Travis Bickell. 132 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.720 He ain't fucking shooting up anybody. This is not charming all. He's for 133 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.720 the from Travis Biglockett obviously, but his unlikable protagonists tend to be have a 134 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.360 charm to them that that you like, see what it is? Oh well, 135 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.639 okay, Yeah, Henry Hill is a jerk, but you know he's 136 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.879 not an asshole. He's very fun to hang around. Yeah, Jesus are 137 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.879 really little nuts, but it's Jesus or you know, hey, you know 138 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.120 his gangsters and casino they're all murderous thugs. But come on, Joe Peschy's 139 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.120 a funny guy. You know, I want to double back to something you 140 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.000 said earlier, This should have been told from Rosanna Arkat's point of view one, 141 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:11.159 because the story we're being told is not a news story. It's just 142 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.480 it's done in an interesting way. But the idea of the mentor who is 143 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.639 sort of not praying on but you know, just effectively using a younger protege 144 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.159 for their own means there's nothing new to that. I would definitely have enjoyed 145 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:33.720 the protege's point of view when they're realizing, like what am I putting up 146 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.799 with? Just because this person is talented? What other charm is there? 147 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.600 Because as you said, Nick Nolty's not putting any on display, or they're 148 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.000 not allowing his character to put any on display, because from the moment we 149 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.919 meet him, he's just desperation. Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe I 150 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.200 just don't know, Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just viewing into that and 151 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.840 I don't like why am I going on this journey with this guy? I 152 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.879 don't like this guy at all, and not even I'm not joying his train 153 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.919 wreck. That's another thing, you know. Yeah, the characters at Wolba 154 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.879 Wall Street are all terrible people. You don't want to spend any time with 155 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.799 But you enjoy watching their train wreck a little bit. Oh they're fun. 156 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.559 Yeah. I wouldn't want to like be woven into their lives, but I 157 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.840 would certainly sit across the room and watch them. Yeah, exactly. And 158 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.759 here Nick Nolty's just that maybe if you know, you know, de Niro 159 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.039 played this part, I might have it, might have played a little might 160 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.360 have played a little better. I don't know. I like, maybe I'm 161 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.360 gonna believe de Niro more as a tortured artist in that time period than Nick 162 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.080 Nolty. Maybe you think Nick Nolty's an asshole, I don't know. I 163 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.840 think it would have been worse if it been. Actually, I think he 164 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.000 would have played full end too, that desperation, and that's all we would 165 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:48.840 have gotten. And at least Nick Nolty just seems a bit lighthearted. Lighthearted. 166 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.440 Yeah, I think this might be quitting Tarantino's favorite Martin's Scorsese picture because 167 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.200 of all the time spent on Roseanna or Cat's foot. Oh yeah, which 168 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.759 apparently is a foot. Oh really, she didn't have that cute little tiny 169 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.120 foot. No. She specifically asked or Sacy if she could have a foot 170 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.840 double, which he thought was ridiculous but accommodated. Anyway, there you go, 171 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.440 and Roseanne Arctic they ever found attractive until last. All this movie, 172 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.879 she has a couple of moments where she does this little smile. I'm like, 173 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.799 oh, I see why she draws so many rock stars insane. Oh 174 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:24.080 it's yeah, it is that smile. Have you seen Have you seen After 175 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.240 Hours before this movie? Yeah? After Hours it is great. I haven't 176 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.639 seen it in twenty years, though, maybe I should go big enough and 177 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.360 watch it again. You one again loved After Hours, man, I saw 178 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.320 like three times in high school, Like I thought it was the coolest movie. 179 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.039 But I was always a big Patrician arc Caet fan, you know, 180 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.080 as as a young man with movie crushes. I always saw Patricia arcat was 181 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.679 just where the Mariars Ain't Gonna dream no more? Or her? And what 182 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.240 was it in the True Romance? Oh my god, yes, Alabama Warley, 183 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:05.080 Alabama Whorley Wow situation. That is a perfect character portrayed perfectly. But 184 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.000 he wrote, I get the Rosanna Arcata, you know, finally, like, 185 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.120 oh okay, I got it, and she was good and I felt 186 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.279 really just watching the movie. I just felt terrible for her. Maybe it's 187 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.720 just you know, maybe we're watching this in nineteen eighty nine, we're looking 188 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.720 at it. We're going to look at it differently, you know. It's 189 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.519 you know, thirty five years later we were as men. We look at 190 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.240 we you know, evolved a little bit socially, and I think we might 191 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:35.720 be able to look at things differently and recognize, oh, he's being bros. 192 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.159 You know. But there's another thing though, too. Hey, I've 193 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.120 dated younger women, not a thirty year age gap, but you know, 194 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.120 ten twelve sometimes, I mean the most, and those younger women will driving 195 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.639 nuts. Well, I guess the idea is here that she's just really going 196 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.960 to talk about art and you yeah, well, oh the younger woman driving 197 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.000 nuts is because he had nothing to talk with her about, probably more than 198 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.080 anything. There's no common ground there, so he's just talking at her the 199 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:06.279 whole time. What are your cultural touchstones with a thirty year span. Yeah, 200 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:12.399 it's ridiculous, zero, I would say. Yeah, speaking of boyfriends 201 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:18.519 and girlfriends on screen, Peter Gabriel shows up unannounced too, and so did 202 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:25.720 Debbie Harry. Oh yeah, yeah, that whole scene, Steve Buscemi, 203 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.240 it should be noted. Yeah, playing a performance artist playing what you know, 204 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.360 he wrote his monologue. His character is giving Steve Buscemi shows up as 205 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.200 a performance artist that he's the he's the man that that Rosanna Archett has been 206 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:41.480 carrying on an affair with, but now he's dumped her. So it's now 207 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:47.639 she's stuck back with Nick Nolty and just had some dashing performance artists Steve. 208 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.519 Yeah, and his performance is great. Now, it's my understanding that around 209 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.039 New York at that time he and Mark Boone Junior were basically performing little two 210 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:02.840 man shows like with monologues. They would like that morning and such. Okay, 211 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.480 that's cool, yeah, part of the whole lan New York Underground. 212 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.000 Yeah, see, I didn't think that. You know, a performance in 213 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.359 an abandoned subway tunnel was interesting with those lights and everything. This episode, 214 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.799 this segment looks great. Yeah, it does look great. And is it 215 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.920 Bajas filming? It was he the DP on it? No, this is 216 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.160 Nestor Elmendros. Oh wow, because it looks like a lot of those camera 217 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.880 moves that Bajas was using and Goodfellas are in there. You know. That's 218 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.359 that that's every time I watch to Martin Scarcese movie. Just all his static 219 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:44.920 shots are floating, so it's that camera is constantly moving. If he's using 220 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.920 like the same crane guy or the same steady caam guy, then maybe because 221 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.799 there's that thing where it's like there's a pan around Nick Nolty to her or 222 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.400 something, there's that it's an over the shoulder switch and it's done with that, 223 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.559 but it's done like on a crane, and it's that very deliberate that 224 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.759 you'll see Goodfellows all over the place and in Casino too, which is again 225 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.559 they're I guess two different PP's there too, So maybe he's just say a 226 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.680 great guy or something that's called this Corsese kind of like it, and that 227 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.480 push in that he does, it's all there, and it's weird because this 228 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:22.160 guy's talking about art but he's still shooting it like Goodfellows. And I love 229 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.039 anytime a filmmaker gets to do like an anthology or a short film or something. 230 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:32.640 I always appreciate where their indulgences are because they will always have some cinematic 231 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.759 trick in their mind from when they were kids that they've never employed. In 232 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.400 this case, it's iris saying, oh yeah, he loves that. He 233 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.720 even the Iris morning he's been using it? Is this where he first started 234 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:47.519 using it? Here, I'm sure he may have. There may have been 235 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.799 a shot I'm not aware of before this movie, but this is wall to 236 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.680 wall Iris. Yeah. For me, it's I like Iris. I like 237 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:02.079 the Star Wars Iris, the wipes a lot. That's those are like for 238 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.200 me what I like a lot. And I'm a big dissolved fan. I'll 239 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.400 the short I'm working on, I've got to dissolve the thirty seconds long because 240 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.799 I just love that. So yeah, yeah, and I think you're absolutely 241 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.799 right on these shorts. The guys get to folks, get to experiment a 242 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.319 little bit and try new things and play with stuff. Yeah, because the 243 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:26.359 couple of segment is really inventive too. Yeah, he's trying stuff in there, 244 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.519 I think. I mean, well, that's a whole other conversation. 245 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.440 I don't want to talk about sports a little bit. More Overall, I've 246 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.960 really enjoyed this one and it made me hopeful for the following two stories. 247 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:41.400 But at the same time, if I never hear procol Harem's Whiter Shade of 248 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.559 Pale again, it was an amusing song at one point, I just don't 249 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.000 it's enough already there are some songs that I'm just that's enough. Put them 250 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:55.359 away now, you know what I'm watching this segment specifically, I imagine someone 251 00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:00.880 gen Zer going boobern nonsense, that's what it was, so oh boober this 252 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.960 movie with just the soundtrack and the whole thing. I don't know, And 253 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.880 maybe that's it. This might be just a thing where that was the song 254 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.119 he was listening to all the time, and let's just put that on the 255 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.799 soundtrack because and it's not I'm not saying it's not appropriate for that character and 256 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.119 in this situation in this film. But Jesus Christ, you're right to me, 257 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.400 not even the younger generation. I'm just like this boomer bullshit. Get 258 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.279 it out of the way. Martin Scorsese. You put Devo in the casino? 259 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.000 Yeah, I don't think that may be a budget constraint too. This 260 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.559 is the coolest classic song that we can afford that would fit this ex hippie 261 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.279 guy. You know, we can't afford the Rolling Stones for this movie. 262 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.720 But he has Bob Dylan there, like every time he's furiously painting, we 263 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.400 get some how does it feel by Bob Dylan? Oh yeah? And it's 264 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:52.880 a live version. It's really good and he paints furiously, So the procol 265 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.160 harum is the artist inspiration and Bob Dylan is his actual artistic motion. There 266 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:02.880 you go. But the way it wraps up. I did like the ending 267 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.440 a lot, because you know, I like the cycnical ending to it, 268 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.519 like it's just this is just who he is. He figured it out, 269 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:11.400 He's just gonna do it again, and you're like, what a scumback. 270 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:17.359 But at least there's that moment of his own acceptance. But I guess I 271 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:22.519 am just this fucking user. Yeah. I feel like younger folks would not 272 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.960 like this at all. If there are any younger folks out there, let 273 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:33.519 us know, give us some comments. My younger I mean, anyone under 274 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.599 the edge of forty right, yeah, really, because you know, here 275 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.920 we are talking discussing of ontology film from thirty five years ago. It but 276 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.440 you know, these are three big names, and in nineteen eighty nine, 277 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.480 these guys were the names. You know, they were giants. Yeah, 278 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.279 Copla had won you know, a bunch of oscars. He made The Godfather 279 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.440 movies and like, well, The Godfather I think bought Coppola a lifetime of 280 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:03.759 goodwill, Like you're Oh. Yeah, he made a godf Right. He 281 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.160 followed it with Apocalypse and Now, which everybody hated, which is too bad 282 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.240 because I think it's his best. I'm sorry, let me go back. 283 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.359 He followed that with The Conversation. Oh yeah, the Conversation is really good. 284 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.640 Fucking great man. He was on a he was on a roll, 285 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.839 a cinematic role. He gets to pass for the rest of his life as 286 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:26.119 far as I'm concerned. In the eighties he started like sparamenting. In the 287 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.960 eighties he made One from the Heart and that bankrupted him and then he had 288 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:36.440 to become a director for hire. But nevertheless, he did Outsiders, which 289 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.960 is great. He did Rumblefish, which I fucking adore. He did Peggy 290 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:44.200 Sue Got Married. That's his director for Higher Thing. People were like, 291 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.839 oh, he's doing this. Watch that movie. It's one of the sweetest, 292 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.359 most affecting movies of the nineteen eighty. Yeah. And he made Tucker 293 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:56.799 Tucker with his with his buddy. That man had a dream. Yeah, 294 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.559 who that Tiger? Oh my god. Jeff Bridge is in his prime. 295 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.240 Yeah, little Christian Slater, listen, we have to move on. I 296 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:12.720 really don't want to, but we have to start life without Zoe. This 297 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:18.200 one is the Francis Ford Coppola segment. This one was written by Francis Ford 298 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.759 Coppola and Sophia Coppola, who I believe was seventeen at the time. Oh 299 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.359 seventeen. Oh okay, that really she was seventeen, because I kept feeling 300 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.400 she was twelve, because a lot of it feels like it was written by 301 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.359 a twelve year old. Well, remember the next year she would be in 302 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.440 Godfather three. Oh yes, I can't fault him for that. He loves 303 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.880 his kid, man, what are you gonna do? Yeah, And this 304 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:45.680 is one hundred percent that this is a studio saying have some money in him 305 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:52.000 putting together a family picnic and just enjoying his life and his family and apparently 306 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.680 getting them all a free trip to Greece. Well there you go. So 307 00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.599 in that regard, that just makes me love Copola all the more. But 308 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.920 then I only love Copola for the work. And this is not disappointing. 309 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.279 This was it felt insulting. Yeah, I know, and but I and 310 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.880 then again back to another and giving his daughter the best film school imaginable. 311 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:21.240 She's that bitch parlance of the times. She's that ever respected filmmaker, that 312 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:25.720 Oscar winner, because her dad took her to work with him, and she's, 313 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.920 hey, you're seventeen, let's write this together. Hey, you know 314 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.839 what, just come me in my movie. I don't care what you know 315 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.279 what I mean? I like because I want to do. He's a great 316 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.000 dad, and I like, you know, I would love to spend just 317 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.920 a lunch with him, just getting to chat with him, because I learned 318 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.480 a lot from Copola. Man, those Godfather discs, the audio commentary on 319 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.079 The Godfather. I got just about as much out of those as that I 320 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.920 did four years of college, five years of college. Man. So but 321 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.960 this I wanted to smack a new little kid. This okay, So here's 322 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.880 the plot. Effectively, this is the This is a let's say, inspired 323 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.920 by the Eloise books of the nineteen fifties, that was a little girl living 324 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.599 in a penthouse of the Plaza in New York, and in the New York 325 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.960 that we get here is sort of from the nineteen fifties because at that time, 326 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:18.359 like a little affluent girl could probably be protected by and guided by Dorman 327 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.680 and you know, butlers and the general populace of New York. This is 328 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:27.920 made prested by that creepy holeless guy that grabs her the yeah, or just 329 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:34.079 spirited away by the cab driver, or any of the crazy nineteen eighty nine 330 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:41.160 actual perilous situations that this character puts herself into. It's okay, but the 331 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.319 plot is her. She's living effectively by herself. Her father is a famous 332 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.160 floutist, her mother is an actress, performer, dancer of who knows they're 333 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.720 both parents are absent. She's living her rich affluent life, going to a 334 00:25:53.839 --> 00:26:00.000 rich affluent school, uh throwing parties for rich affluent boys. I would, 335 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.000 I'm so sickened by the rich affluents. I gotta say, the whole movie 336 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.359 was just about Each movie was about a rich ass Each little segment was about 337 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:15.960 a rich asshole, because you know, I don't know any artists that makes 338 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.160 that kind of money that Nick Nolty was making. And that thing where he 339 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:26.880 owned the building, the fuck artist owns the building, and you know he's 340 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.079 the rich asshole. There this here, rich asshole little girl with a rich 341 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.200 asshole little friends. And then the third one, rich asshole lawyer who works 342 00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:41.039 for a men Manhattan advertising firm, who's a lawyer for a Manhattan advertising firm 343 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.240 or whatever he is, three rich affluents, out of touch motherfuckers. Sorry, 344 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:52.279 yeah for giving us. We're given three potential stories to sum up New 345 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.839 York City in nineteen eighty nine. Did nobody have Spike Lee's phone number? 346 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.839 Is? He could have done one and it would have been like, Yo, 347 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.960 this is what people in New York actually live like. This is also 348 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.759 the same year that Do the Right Thing comes out there. There's no question 349 00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.839 if you want a New York story from nineteen eighty nine, which which Avenue 350 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.200 to take it straight to radio raheem Man to Do the Right Thing as a 351 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:23.319 fucking masterpiece of absolutely I watched it again like a year ago, and I'm 352 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.440 just like, oh my god, this movie is so fucking good. How 353 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.480 was this not the Best Picture nominee? And then that oh, okay, 354 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:34.839 well obviously I know all right, but still it's amazing. I remember being 355 00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:40.400 a kid and kim basing her coming out to list the nominees for something, 356 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:45.680 and you're taking time out of her speech to shout out how good Do the 357 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.640 Right Thing was. I remember just a lot of controversy when the movie came 358 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.200 out because of the ending of the movie because it was not resolved ending and 359 00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.720 I'm like, but life is unresolved, and he was making life. He's 360 00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:59.720 here. My art is showing the world that I grew up in, the 361 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.000 world that I live in. I remember seeing mister Lee like defending himself on 362 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.880 one of the late night news programs, saying like, I'm sorry it didn't 363 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.720 end with everybody linking hands and singing we are the world, but that's just 364 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.759 not where we are. That's, you know, the dichotomy of cinema in 365 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.440 nineteen eighty nine, which is, you know, I guess that's around the 366 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.240 year where I had, you know, sexual awakenings, but I had cinema 367 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:25.119 awakenings. That's around the time when I started paying attention I guess as a 368 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:30.400 filmgoer and future filmmaker. But the dichotomy look back that year. The two 369 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:36.759 most important movies in that year are Do the Right Thing Batman and you can't 370 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:44.000 get a more opposite view of urban life with those two movies, like and 371 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.880 You're Right because Batman ties up nice and neat and the hero saves the rich 372 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.079 hero saves this end of the day. As much as I love Batman and 373 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:55.720 we don't know, I love Batman, but like the movie starts with Batman 374 00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:03.440 effectively beating up too homeless men. Two yeah, two homelessmen were clearly addicted 375 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.119 to something and cracked out too, because they just looked like, look, 376 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.799 yeah, but that's movie Batman. Oh yeah, Batman is a jerk. 377 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.960 Movie Batman blows up people, and movie Batman beats him homeless guys. Real 378 00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:19.920 comic book Batman would have given those homeless guy jobs at Wayne Tower, at 379 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.799 Wayne at the Wayne Foundation or something, and here he was like here, 380 00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.519 you you know, would have might have smacked him around a little bit and 381 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.440 then give him a lesson, like, hey, this is how you can 382 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.920 improve your life. Batman is there to beat up super criminals. He helps 383 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.039 four people. But anyways, and you know what else was going on in 384 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:44.240 nineteen eighty nine, what else? Life without Zoe? Life without how are 385 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.279 we continuing? How are we getting behind? Life had no Zoe in it. 386 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.640 You know, if you look up the word precocious, my goodness, 387 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.720 every little motherfucker in this movie was precocious. You know, I was starting 388 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.640 to sound like Bernie Sanders a little but going off on like the rich hassle 389 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:07.680 Dan Pinjin, but like these characters really are little shits, that little the 390 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.279 little chic boy, and oh my god, everybody speaks like they're forty eight 391 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:18.559 years old. And here's what I enjoyed in this segment, the opening sequence 392 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.640 where she's being awakened by her butler, who's played by Don Novello, the 393 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.799 Great Donovalle as a fellow fank man of the Claw. He's father Grido Sarducci 394 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:34.759 from seven. He basically did he's he's doing the accent, and he's always 395 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.920 a welcome presence, and here, like it made me wish he was in 396 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:45.680 more dramatic stuff because he's great at it and he's so charming that the thought 397 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:52.759 of an entire segment of this guy and this girl sort of doing something in 398 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.599 New York, their New York story was very appealing. But then we go 399 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.279 immediately to girls to the rich kids' school and all the rich kid bullshit, 400 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.759 and the whole thing is completely stylized. I mean, it's it's really like 401 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.680 a comic book. All the girls are, you know, dressed in these 402 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.279 wide brimmed hats and everything. And that's part of what like Coocho likes to 403 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.240 do. I mean, because look at look at Dracula. He does a 404 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:21.920 very similar kind of movie making there. Everything in Dracula is very very stylized 405 00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:26.400 and very very intentional and stuff. But play Isn'tdracula. It doesn't play here 406 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.640 no as well here No, because the fucking characters are little annoying assholes. 407 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.880 Yeah, and what there's they're they're having that costume party and all of a 408 00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.920 sudden, this train of eleven year old little girls. But it's not like 409 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.920 Cleopatrick come in and a whole choreographed thing, and I'm like, I know, 410 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.440 I'm supposed to go this is a fantasy like for kids like Eloise and 411 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:51.559 shit. But this is just playing really creepy and not playing, you know, 412 00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:56.440 like it doesn't. I don't know. Maybe it's missing that Spielbergian thing. 413 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.240 Yeah. Now, had Spielberg shot this, I think I would have 414 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.079 been better. Had Spielberg shot this, you wouldn't have minded any of this, 415 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.920 no, because he would have picked children who you would have immediately fallen 416 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.559 in love with without them saying one word. Yeah, And the the sort 417 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.480 of halcy and below that that Copola is going for here would have been natural. 418 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.279 Yeah, that's that's definitely it. Because I remember thinking about watching him 419 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.519 like Spielberg, I would have liked everybody. I hate every character here. 420 00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.319 I'm going, why, you know what a worked? Had this been Dogavello's 421 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:38.880 kid instead of the original as the little original asshole. Had the butler's little 422 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.759 girl get stolen the you know, gotten a hold of the Tear of Allah 423 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:49.400 or whatever the hell it was? That the Mystical Land of Shiraz, the 424 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:55.279 Australian the delicious Australian Wine. Is that lady the Sheik's wife, the aunt. 425 00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.880 Is that the lady for your eyes only, You're goddamn right. It 426 00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:02.920 is Carol Bouquet lighting up the screen. I saw those eyes on that face, 427 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.240 like, oh, hey, I know that, I know that lady. 428 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:12.000 So there are some charms in this episode, but not really. And 429 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.920 I just want to yell at the actors at the kids while they're filming it. 430 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.680 There's a there's a shot where they're doing like the fake the little press 431 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:24.720 conference with the kid and came and the girls pointing the camera and the got 432 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:29.640 pointing like the prop camera. She's pointing it like a hundred feet away from 433 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.680 anybody talking, and I'm just like, oh, come on. What I 434 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:36.480 liked in that scene was you can control the area you're in, but you 435 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.279 can't really control boats because there's a bunch of people in the in the lake 436 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:45.480 behind them and who were clearly just staring at the camera. Look picking a 437 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.920 movie. I feel like he probably lets Sophia direct that scene. He let 438 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.480 her create the opening title sequence, Oh yeah, which I thought was neat 439 00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:59.960 in that we only got everyone's first name. Yeah. I like that too. 440 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.599 I've only ever seen that done again. Tony Scott did that at the 441 00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.719 end of Domino when he credited all of his actors. It was lovely. 442 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:13.239 Domedo is a weird movie, man, Yeah, speak, there's a good 443 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.800 movie in Domino somewhere. I I do like here at Knightley. It's just 444 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.320 it's so charming. As an actor, she was always like just like, 445 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.000 can't keep your eyes off of her. Most of everyone in that movie is 446 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:30.320 charming. You know, he's charming in that movie. Mikey York from the 447 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.920 early two thousands. Oh yeah, man, like he's staying anyway back. 448 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:37.800 We gotta get back, we gotta finish, back to New York, back 449 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.199 to back, back to fake New York, back to fake New York. 450 00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.119 It's just, you know, and not even charming. Fake New York. 451 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:51.159 This isn't Amali's Paris. You know, that's tail version of Paris. This 452 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:57.599 is just a sort of glossed over New York like eighties via the fifties. 453 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:02.039 Some weird moments in this when uh Talia Schier gets dressed down by her daughter 454 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:07.079 for her shoulder pads, Now that was so bizarre. Now, I gotta 455 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.480 say, by eighty nine, you should not have been wearing shoulder pads anyway. 456 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:14.000 That was She's that the little girl is correct, but it was just 457 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:17.320 a weird, out of place thing in the middle of this also weird thing. 458 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.480 You know what, I did like Chris Elliott as the robber. I 459 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:28.280 did like Chris Elliott too. Yeah, he's just is this from the nineteen 460 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.199 forties or something? Why not? Now listen he had kids. Oh but 461 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:37.280 the little girl, it's just like her dialogue was well, it was there's 462 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.760 precocious and then there's precocious and yeah, and I know they pointed out, 463 00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:45.679 oh you're not the mom. We I'm the mom. But still it doesn't 464 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:51.639 like, you know, we're precocious. Works where it plays really well is 465 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.639 many on modern family. That little kid is a precocious little fun and he 466 00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.039 drinks his tea to this and he always speaks a forty eight year old, 467 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:05.679 but everybody is always giving him shit for it. People comment that they know 468 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.639 he's annoying with it, you know, like it's part of the character and 469 00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:14.079 it works and everybody plays off of it, whereas in this everybody is just 470 00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:17.840 kind of precocious and they're allowed to be like that and not the point because 471 00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:22.519 if I talk like that, my sisters would have given me all manner of 472 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.400 help. My mom would have been like they had to, which it translates 473 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.039 into English, stop eating shit, which is a human way of saying, 474 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:35.599 it's not being an idiot. You more on Yeah, you know, there's 475 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.280 precocious and there's precocious. We deal over on Midnight Viewing Horror Anthology podcast. 476 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:44.920 You would be not at all shocked to know that every time there's a child 477 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.880 centric episode of an anthology series, they tend to go with the young actor 478 00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.400 who can handle the part. The problem is the kid who can handle the 479 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:59.840 part is also precocious. They're a child trained actor, so it comes off 480 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:05.960 false and phony. Yeah, I look, it wasn't. In another podcast, 481 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.280 I was talking about goonies. But anyways, they've Mae an interesting point. 482 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.480 I'll bring it up here. You can edit all my thinking out. 483 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:14.440 The thing about goonies is they're not precocious little kids, even though they because 484 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.639 their foul mouth, they talk really fast. They're always out of breath. 485 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.519 Little kids are always out of breath when they're talking. Man, it's because 486 00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.199 they're the tiny little bodies and they're just trying to get the words out. 487 00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.920 We're here and it's all this thing, and it's amazing, and like a 488 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.760 party of eleven year olds just that have been like running around like bananas. 489 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.519 Instead they're all like, ooh, let's have high tea and have choreographed dances 490 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:44.199 and our masquerade ball. You know how this would have worked if it made 491 00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:47.039 those children five years younger, or six years or four four years younger. 492 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:51.519 If this had been a bunch of eight or nine year old girls, then 493 00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:53.880 it would have been a fairy tale and it would have all been magical. 494 00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:57.880 The fact is, these are twelve year olds who should be acting like goonies, 495 00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:01.840 children who are acting like high society. Yeah. Instead they should be 496 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:08.719 you know, hilarious and me to each other like twelve year olds are twelve 497 00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:15.519 year olds are hilarious twelve year little girls are sarcastic and biting and just the 498 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.840 meanest little things in the world. They're hilarious characters, and these kids are 499 00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:23.199 not funny at all. No, these characters are you know, reading Paris 500 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:30.239 Vogue and drinking dakeries. Yeah, I know that's right. They're drinking dakers 501 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.960 is a dakery for a twelve year old. The reason they're drinking dakyries is 502 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:37.800 because that's what Fredo like to order. And havana and I don't know, 503 00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:51.039 your father didn't trust time in ruths anyway. Oh, by the way, 504 00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:57.920 I think was the homeless guy? Was he was Frank potentially or whatever the 505 00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:02.239 fuck that guy's name is from Godfather too? Oh was it? It'll be 506 00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:07.800 here drinking him a cocktails? Hold on, I think that was the homeless 507 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.800 guy. That's why I love this town. She's why I love it. 508 00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.199 I'm looking. Yeah, you know, I've just spoken about him on a 509 00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:22.840 different podcast, and now I cannot remember his name, so I'm gonna have 510 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:24.480 to cut all this shit out. But I'm hoping you're right here. Life 511 00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:31.039 without Sorry have become James King. He's kind of crazy Italian name, I 512 00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:38.880 know, that is it? Steve Bishemy sounds like Steve. I can't find 513 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:46.360 the homeless guy listed. That doesn't really matter. I do think I also 514 00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:52.119 noticed the I could be wrong, it sounded the same, but I also 515 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.079 noticed the guy from Goodfellas, the drug dealer with the silencers. Hey, 516 00:39:55.119 --> 00:40:00.239 you want to see helicopters, Ohlstoy helicopters. He's in this course, is 517 00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:05.880 he one? He's in the Coppola one. He's a doorman. We're talking 518 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:07.960 about Paul Herman. He's in all three, in all three of them, 519 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.280 Okay, yeah, he's he's the cop that Nick Nolty attempts to kiss in 520 00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:16.280 the first. He's dormant here, and where is he in the third one? 521 00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:19.239 I know he's in there side. I think he might be a dormant 522 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.239 in that one. Maybe he's a dormant in that one too, I don't 523 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.079 know, but yeah, I know he had noticed him. He and all 524 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:28.599 three of them. And I feel like a movie like that needs a pronounced 525 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.119 guy that. Oh no, he's the detective in the final one. Okay, 526 00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:37.719 well that's some. But there's a connecting thread between the three of them, 527 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.119 I guess, is that guy. Yeah, Well, it's my understanding 528 00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:43.760 that they'd all each worked with Paul Herman anyway, sort of previous, so 529 00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.760 that they may have cast him independently of one another. If that's the case, 530 00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.880 I would really like it. That would be awesome. You know what. 531 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:57.400 There is a finite number of movie working actors anywhere you go. I 532 00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:00.239 mean, they're just gonna keep popping up again and stuff. Plus, if 533 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.559 you like them and they worked out for you, why wouldn't you get him 534 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.559 in again? You know, I just got eligible for my sag card. 535 00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:10.840 I might start auditioning for stuff. Yeah, all right, that's the last 536 00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.559 set about life without Zoe. I can live without life without Zoe. Yeah, 537 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:19.239 and we're going to oh, you know what, I do want to 538 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:24.519 point out one other fella here. The gallery owner in the Scorsese episode is 539 00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:31.599 Patrick O'Neil, who we've covered on Midnight Viewing Night Gallery. He's in season 540 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:36.199 two, episode four, A Fear of Spiders. You can go check that 541 00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:38.719 episode out the back in the feed. We love Patrick O'Neill. He's good 542 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:43.480 here. I mean, he wasn't really given anything to do other than be 543 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:51.440 a priggish old gallery owner, but he's great at priggish I feel that's right. 544 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:52.920 But you know what. One more thing on Zoe is I do think 545 00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:58.679 Coppola again working with the family. The family thing I think is what's neat 546 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:00.280 about this is, Hey, I'm a to write this movie with my kid, 547 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.679 and I'm gonna like kind of show her the ropes a little bit. 548 00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.159 That's neat. I don't like the movie, but I like him and what 549 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.159 he did. Oh yeah, and I'm going to employ my dad and uh 550 00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.679 yeah, and my sister who who you know it looks who looks great in 551 00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:19.280 it and is really warm as the mom. I feel like I didn't see 552 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.639 enough Italia Shire growing up, Like every time I saw her in something, 553 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:24.239 she's great, and I feel like I would have liked to see more of 554 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:28.039 her. She's ill served here, but it is good to see them in 555 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.559 the context that you're describing, which is just as a Copola family reunion. 556 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:36.639 This movie works great. Oh and the guy who plays her dad, he's 557 00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:40.000 he's the slimy European guy in a lot of stuff. That's Jim Carlo Giannini, 558 00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:47.039 Yeah, who is effortlessly charming motherfucker like Cassino is he Cassino rials know 559 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.719 what that he's in or I believe so what I'm trying to think of. 560 00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:57.320 I remember him mostly from pret Porte. Yes, he's in Quantum of Solace, 561 00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.920 he was on Man Fire, he's in Casino Royal as well. Yeah, 562 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.199 yeah, he's great. I love him. But yeah, it shows 563 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.480 up briefly as her dad, just to complicate the any I don't want to 564 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:09.480 talk about the story anything. Not going to recommend this segment at all. 565 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:16.920 I'm going to infect discourage. So now we move on. Oh, it's 566 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.639 a bundle of tics. Okay, here's the premise. Is clever, right, 567 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.039 it's henpecked Woody Allan. It's just Woody Allen. Uh. And he 568 00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:28.239 has to deal with his mother, who's always embarrassing him. Takes her to 569 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:34.280 meet his fiance's kids at a magic show. She's volunteered to be the assistant 570 00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:40.440 in a magic trick and disappears later, reappearing in the sky where she now 571 00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.360 can embarrass him to everyone in New York City, nay, the world. 572 00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:52.039 So this is what his greatest fear writ large. Everywhere he looks, his 573 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.119 mom is just floating up there. Why do you do it? That man? 574 00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:01.639 What was his character's name? Woody Allen plays and Sheldon Sheldon Mills and 575 00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:07.960 it was Mill steamed like he shortened it. That's May Cristelle as mom Betty 576 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:12.599 Boo herself. This is her best role in decades and decades, and I 577 00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:16.639 would recommend anyone watched this segment if you've only experienced Makee Cristelle as a flagellant 578 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:22.960 grandma in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's kind of an ignominious end to her 579 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:29.480 film career. She's great here because she takes the usual sort of hectoring mother 580 00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:35.239 character and makes her genuinely sweet. Yeah, it's a very weird dynamic. 581 00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.159 It's very I don't know. I hate him and this a lot. You 582 00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:40.639 know, I lost my mom a few years ago and I would give that 583 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:46.119 anything to be listen to her bitch at me again. So like, and 584 00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:50.480 I know it's the whole points go to appreciate his mom and stuff. And 585 00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:53.119 this is probably the most charming one of the least of the three. You 586 00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:58.119 know, I'm not a big Woody Allen fan at all, Nora. I 587 00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:04.599 mean I appreciate what he did. I appreciate the sort of the new dynamic 588 00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:08.800 of what like a romantic leading man could be in cinema. And he's always 589 00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:15.800 been clever and he's always had had good visual instincts in his films. Nevertheless, 590 00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:21.960 he really yeah, that was it. I'm good and there are charms 591 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.840 to each of them. Never let I think Mighty Aphrodite is really funny. 592 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:29.800 Actually, yeah, everybody wasn't bad. But you know, he's a creeper 593 00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.559 and he's a weird. I don't think you like him that mant. I 594 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:37.239 remember going to watch Manhattan when I was a young guy, going it's about 595 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:39.239 a forty something year old guy and his seventeen year old girlfriend. I'm like 596 00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:46.280 you, yeah, a stardust memories right right, always believes that, like 597 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:52.039 always have that like that thing going on. And I guess that again carrying 598 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:53.599 over that first thing. Maybe it's just you know, guys, like it 599 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:57.960 would have been okay, it would have been a nice sort of bookend to 600 00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.960 life lessons if Woody Allen had I'd been courting a younger girl and that was 601 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:05.960 the problem mom had. As it is, it's just Mia Farrow. It's 602 00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:09.599 just him courting me a farroh, yeah, which I guess has an annoying 603 00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:12.679 or any mom. But you guys, I don't know. Mia Fair is 604 00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:15.440 pretty Bland here. Yeah, you know she is, And I was always 605 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:22.800 more of a Diane Keaton in the Woody Allen Leading Ladies. Andy Hall is 606 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.320 a great movie. Is not the best picture in nineteen seventy seven, as 607 00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:28.960 he know, as I'm warring by Luke Skywalker t shirt while doing this. 608 00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.039 But it's really well made. It's really interesting. He does a lot of 609 00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:34.800 cool stuff in it, and like you said, he's got an interesting visual 610 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:37.159 style. He knows what he's doing. I like when he plays with the 611 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:43.840 conventions of movie making and he Hall's Great's got cartoon bits, It's he's making 612 00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:47.280 the fourth wall. It's all kinds of stuff. It's got not a happy 613 00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:52.719 ending. Nobody stays together like it's pretty cool. But like I said, 614 00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:54.920 I didn't. That's everything I need at him this movie. I do like 615 00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:01.280 the convention of the mom floating above him and like his worst he deserves it. 616 00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:06.039 He's kind of an assholet. But you know, I mentioned Bekos's kids 617 00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.440 that we end up running into over at night gallery and such. But another 618 00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:13.679 thing Ninth Gallery trafficked in were blackout sketches where they would just set up set 619 00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:15.079 up something with a monster and then there'd be a joke. All right, 620 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:19.800 I already gave it the blood bank, you know, kind of one panel 621 00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.079 New Yorker cartoons. This is a one panel New Yorker cartoon. Oh wow, 622 00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:30.639 that's really this could have been summed up with just one image. Yeah, 623 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:36.119 and then it stretched out, not with anything new or interesting from Woody 624 00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:37.960 Allen. In fact, if you've seen one of his movies, you will 625 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.639 get all of this. It's and I got it. Okay. Here's the 626 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:49.159 one thing I really loved in this segment. The characters at the magic show. 627 00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:53.920 His mother is in the box on stage while the magician is shoving swords 628 00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:58.519 into it. It's that old trick, and the close up of Woody Allen's 629 00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:04.320 face sort of the delight without over selling how delighted he is that he's watching 630 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.760 swords being driven into the box that contains his mother. That was great. 631 00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:14.960 The other great thing was Larry David's hair. Oh god, yeah, there's 632 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.679 Larry David out of nowhere. Hey wait hair, Yeah, that's right. 633 00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:23.320 It made him look like asterisks and obelisk or like early Thor, like a 634 00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:28.599 Thor helmet. But the sheer bushiness of the hair up off of the bald 635 00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.760 head made him look like some sort of norseman. He looked pretty good though. 636 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:34.400 I was gppy to see him. It was like, I guess, 637 00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:37.880 right before they sold seinfilm. Yeah, right around that time, at that 638 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:42.159 time. Yeah, so it's like they're shooting his nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, 639 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.079 they're probably writing it right now. That's wild, huh. He had 640 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.639 a good year. He's in a Woody Allen thing and then he goes also 641 00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:52.199 so the TV show. Yeah, I think he was in Out Radio Days 642 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:58.159 as well, So I think those yeah, those two have history. Yeah. 643 00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:00.800 And then he started something later too. Yeah, it was like two 644 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.760 thousand and seven. I think something that I can't remember the name of it. 645 00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.480 I should remember the name of it. It's gonna, no doubt better 646 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:10.280 than Oedipus Rex, which is the name of this segment. Like I said, 647 00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:16.039 I don't really know how to even criticize or discuss the movie past. 648 00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:22.199 It should have been thirty seconds long, yeah, because I don't need to 649 00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.440 hear sing sing sing again, you know. I mean, look, I 650 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:31.119 guess seeing may Cristelle being sort of effortlessly charming while they've posited her as some 651 00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:36.320 sort of villain is really funny. It was nice to see Julie Kavner in 652 00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:43.280 a non Marge Roll on Marg Roll with a really pleasant smile and very warm 653 00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:47.880 I liked her character, you know that, but very kind of manic pixie 654 00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.960 girl, I guess. And you know Evilly got you know, a few 655 00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:57.079 minutes of deal with her. But I liked your performance a lot. Another 656 00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:00.239 actor that all you know are about is really Marg but she's a doctor. 657 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:05.519 I would have liked to see her more since she's saw out of Friends too, 658 00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:08.960 like Meg Ryan friends a lot. Yeah, exactly, yes. And 659 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:14.840 of course Tracy Ollmans show. She was really good, one sketch, variety 660 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:16.639 of stuff. She's very, very talented. She's so good, in fact, 661 00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:22.039 that it made me wish that the Mia Farah character hadn't even existed. 662 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:24.400 Should have just opened with the character at the magic show and he loses his 663 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:28.480 mom and then meets this crazy psychic who tries to help him get him back. 664 00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:31.960 That would have been fun for thirty minutes. Here's an interesting phenomenon speaking 665 00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:37.679 of the lengths of time. The Scorsese segment is the longest segment at forty 666 00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:42.360 five minutes, and it flew by. Yeah, but they were all too 667 00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:46.360 long. Each one of these there's no reason why they shouldn't have been This 668 00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:51.480 movie shouldn't have been ninety minutes. These things should have been twenty five minutes 669 00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:54.840 long each, twenty two minutes long each, only because there's a short film 670 00:50:54.880 --> 00:51:00.639 like it. Trust me, I've made short films that that are like a 671 00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:02.760 half hour long, and I feel like, even though I like them at 672 00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:06.960 their length and they tell their story at their length, that's a long time 673 00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:10.079 to ask for an audience on the short I think because it's not enough time 674 00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:14.280 to develop the character. You know, I don't know, this is a 675 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:17.719 weird length maybe, or maybe these stories were just kind of slow and I 676 00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:22.159 just wasn't that into them too. Yeah, because you can tell a complete 677 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:28.079 story in a few minutes. If you look at movies like Paris tem where 678 00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:32.960 that's a love letter to Paris with dozens of filmmakers, sometimes their stories last 679 00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:37.159 two and three minutes and they're fucking great. They get in and they get 680 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.199 out. Or twenty two short films about Glenn Google, Yeah, there you 681 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:44.559 go, man, there are ways to do it, and twenty two short 682 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.960 films about Springfield. Yeah. This New York Stories is like, you know, 683 00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:54.119 it's you know, it's a pan too old anthology filmmaking. But it's 684 00:51:54.280 --> 00:52:00.000 about New York in nineteen eighty nine. It should have been dynamic and friends, 685 00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:04.320 it should have been youthful. New York is youthful. And then the 686 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.960 and it was the go eighties, you know, like it was bordering nineties, 687 00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:12.840 like ordering nineties. It was an exciting time. This was New York, 688 00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:15.519 the rebirth, the disnification of Times Square. It was like we were 689 00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:21.199 cleaning up. It wasn't the seventies tenement nightmare anymore. And again I go 690 00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:23.760 back to Spike Lee. There it's nineteen eighty eight, nineteen eighty nine in 691 00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:29.599 New York City. I didn't hear one hip hop beat. Nope, even 692 00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:34.119 possible. How is that even possible? And it's nineteen eighty nine. The 693 00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:37.920 women are still acting like women from the sixties or something in the movie like 694 00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:42.719 it's I don't know, I feel it's pretty dated. I don't think these 695 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:45.079 guys, none of them are at the top of their game. I think 696 00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:47.880 they're just collecting a paycheck and trying some stuff out for their next round of 697 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:54.800 movies. So overall, would you recommend this man? It's interesting as if 698 00:52:54.800 --> 00:53:00.519 you're a film completist, and want to see everybody's work complete is only I 699 00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:02.559 agree. Look, if you love Martin Scorsese, you have to see it. 700 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.800 I'm sorry, but he does interesting stuff here. Yeah, he does 701 00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:08.960 some interesting stuff here, and you get I think a little bit of a 702 00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:14.000 peak into him. Yeah. And I think as much as I don't like 703 00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:15.920 that Nick Nolty character, I liked him just as much as I'm like Travis 704 00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:22.480 Pickle. So that story was well told and in for me affecting. Heave 705 00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:29.039 a giant asshole. Yeah, but and he's not super charming as it's an 706 00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:30.840 interesting character. Just don't see what kind of you know guy it is. 707 00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:35.719 Again. But I'm you know, I'm of the opinion I wanted to know 708 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.719 more about the assistant, But that to me was the only one that actually 709 00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:45.000 felt like a New York story. That's pretty interesting because the Little Girl one 710 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:49.719 could have taken place in London or Paris, or Los Angeles or San Francisco. 711 00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:52.960 Yeah, it wasn't like the whole thing was like this magical thing about 712 00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:57.760 Central Park that they you know what I mean, or the hope it has 713 00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.320 to be the plaza in New York. So no, it was kind of 714 00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:02.599 all over the place. And Woody Allen just assumes that he is New York 715 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:06.880 so we should just go along with it. But sorry, man, I 716 00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:09.719 need a little more than a shot of Tavern on the Green, Always Tavern 717 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:15.760 on the Green. That's where got it? They went to the Russian tea 718 00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:20.960 room in the Coppola One. Yeah, all the bygone eras on just nothing 719 00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:24.840 about the Yankees and the Mets. There was nothing about you know, Times 720 00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:30.239 Square. There was nothing about Harlem. There was nothing about you know, 721 00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:35.800 things that make New York special. There's nothing about NYU and Martin Scorse. 722 00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:37.519 You could have made a movie about an NYU film student. I would have 723 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:43.920 liked to have seen that. Youthful Touch was one of the children had in 724 00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:47.199 the Life Without Zoe segment has a folding fan that she's using and it has 725 00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:52.280 Keith Haring designs on it. That stuck out to me right away because everything 726 00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:57.400 else felt so old fashioned that seeing Keith Haring made it immediately current, although 727 00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:00.800 current from fucking forty years ago. I don't see one Puerto Rican person or 728 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:06.119 one black person in this movie, and I'm just like, been to New 729 00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:09.559 York. New York is a melting pot. All these wonderful cultures mixed into 730 00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:16.119 one, and there's about these three rich white people. Well there it is 731 00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:22.199 all right until next time. Where can people reach you?
