00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:15.240
Almost Almost Almost Major Ship.
3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:16.000
This is Major.
4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.519
Hello everybody, Welcome to this week's episode of Almost Major,
5
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.000
where we talk about the mini major studios in the
6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.800
film Say Release. We are on our Giffen Pictures mini series.
7
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.039
My name is Kevin Tutter. I'm here with Brian Doyle. Hello,
8
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.600
and today we're talking about Michael Collins from n ninety six.
9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.560
Michael Collins sounds like a fancy drink that your dad
10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:37.280
would drink.
11
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.719
Michael, Yeah, there is. I always I'm terrible remembering drink games,
12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.439
but I just always and like the receipt at my
13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.359
work and anything, so like where after three drinks, I'll
14
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.000
get like the receipt paper. We'll say like ps and
15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.119
Collins and like here's your passing Collins.
16
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.479
Tom Collins is the drink. That's right, Yeah, that's right.
17
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:06.400
I have not reached that level of familiarity with drinks
18
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.719
as somebody who drank seven vegas bombs in one night
19
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.239
and then couldn't go to sleep and then had to
20
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.000
go to work that morning. Don't ask me which a
21
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.560
vegas bomb is, Red Bull and Crown Royal, and I
22
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.840
did six of those. It was like four in the morning,
23
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.840
being like, why can't I sleep? Anyways, Vegas bombs check
24
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.120
them out. Michael Collins nineteenninety six. This premiered ad Venice
25
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.920
on August twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six, released on October eleventh,
26
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.400
nineteen ninety six, and sixth theaters in limited release October
27
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.519
twenty fifth, and wider release, which it came in at
28
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.879
eighth place that weekend and it maxed out at eight
29
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.439
hundred and seventy eight theaters also November eighth, nineteen ninety
30
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.079
six in Ireland. It feels weird that the US got
31
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.239
it before Ireland, but whatever.
32
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.319
Yeah, it's like it's like David Effert saying like, hey,
33
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.680
we gave you the money to make this movie. We
34
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:56.519
get it first.
35
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.519
Nominated for Best Original School and Best Cinematography at the
36
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.959
sixty ninth Nice Academy Awards. Also nominated for Golden Globe
37
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.240

38
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:08.800
Lion in.
39
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.960
Venice, and Best Actor for Lea Mason. Oh he did, okay, Yeah,
40
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.680
the bultpy cup I think it's what they call that award.
41
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.080
Yeah, that's not not real. Neasan wake up wh what
42
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.000
you won the Folkey Cup in Venice and be like,
43
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.599
I'm going back to sleep. What are you talking about?
44
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.759
A human being who won the Canned Dog Award. That'd
45
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.719
be funny. A budget of twenty five million dollars opening
46
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.879
weekend and made two point four million dollars domestic gross
47
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.319
of eleven point three million in overall gross of twenty
48
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.439
seven point seven million, so about sixteen million overseas. So yeah,
49
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.159
obviously Ireland liked it Top five films that weekend. The
50
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:46.960
only one of these I haven't seen is the first one,
51
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:53.439
which I assume is the best movie of the bunch, Sleepers.
52
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:58.520
There is a song that samples Sleepers. I was just, oh,
53
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.199
I think it's Streets's watching jay Z. Yeah, Wow, what's like?
54
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.520
What is it the part where like it doesn't hold
55
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.439
offins old you will go down for a dirt app.
56
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.280
I'd love to know, Like what like Man deep cut.
57
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.719
It's it's two different, it's a it's at the very
58
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.919
start and in the middle. I mean it was also
59
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.599
and the album came out in ninety seven, so it
60
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.120
was much more. You know, it'd be weird if like
61
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.319
in twenty twenty five, jay Z was like just my
62
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.560
song sampling sleep and so.
63
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.520
I'd be like, all right, man be Bary Levinson fan.
64
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.719
Big number two, high School, high different times, Number three, Thinner,
65
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:37.240
different times for The Ghost in the Darkness. I watched
66
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.879
that because it's a wide release horror movie. But boy,
67
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.759
how is that movie a fucking bore. It's like the
68
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.680
first first like hour and a half, you're waiting for, uh,
69
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:53.960
who's who is that? That's uh, Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer, right, yes, Valkilmer.
70
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.479
I think Val Kilmer is in it for the first
71
Load full transcript
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.560
hour and you're waiting for Michael Douglas to show up
72
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.879
either that or vice versa. And then at that point,
73
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.759
I believe they're called man eater wolfs show up and
74
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.919
it very similar to like Relic. Have you seen the Relic? Yeah?
75
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.439
I notice more right for that one. It's okay, not
76
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:12.360
one of my favorite.
77
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.719
Peter so very much like that, where it's just like
78
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.480
over halfway through it they're like, oh, the wolves that
79
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.800
eat people. We forgot we were actually talking about like
80
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.360
agriculture and shit for like the past hour of Val Kilmer,
81
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.199
and we forgot that this is actually a horror movie.
82
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.920
And number five is the first Wife Club, which is
83
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.639
the best movie of the bunch that I've seen of
84
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.279
this Okay, Also, I haven't seen High School hy since
85
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.439
I was like, I don't know seven, so I can't
86
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.279
really And then Thinner is like one of the worst
87
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:46.120
movies I've ever seen, truly dreadful picture. Number one song
88
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.319
of the US this week Macarena the Bayside Boys mixed
89
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.399
by Los de Rio fourteen weeks at number one. I
90
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.680
was there, I remember it. And number one song in
91
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.879
Cana this week, almost stereotypically is Slin Dion's It's All
92
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.600
Coming Back to Me Now. Like Macarina did not even
93
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.560
reach Canada, it never went number one. They were living
94
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:12.120
in their own world. Meanwhile, preschool were kindergarten me like
95
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.920
I do remember learning the dance in class because they
96
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:20.279
were just like preschool's fake who cares depoltic description from Google.
97
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.040
In the early twentieth century, Michael Collins played by am
98
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.439
Neeson leads the Irish Republican Army with the help of
99
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.079
his friends Harry Bolin played by Aiden Quinn and a
100
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.040
mondale Valira played by Alan Rickman in a violent battle
101
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.839
for Ireland's independence for Britain. But when he fears the
102
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.920
defeat of his revolution, Colins negotiates a treaty with the British,
103
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.800
deeming him a traitor to the I r. A. When
104
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.120
he receives orders to murder his friends, Collins must decide
105
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.519
where his loyalties lie. That happens in the movie because boy, hottie,
106
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.279
I I like.
107
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.319
This, but it is like a lot of like stuff
108
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.399
kind of just like happy where like you're just kind
109
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.560
of dropped into scenes where it's like, shit, we need
110
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.800
to run, like people are shooting out necessarily. It's like
111
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.399
a lot of k happening and everything, and there are
112
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.519
like certain things that like are kind of just like
113
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.439
like it's it's like a movie where like it like
114
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.720
it's like important stuff happens off screen where it's like
115
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.079
Ian Hart like starts into a Wars. It's like Michael
116
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.519
Collins run, all don't you know the war's over?
117
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.079
The Wars? Okay, all right, I mean yeah, there's just
118
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.040
so much like.
119
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:23.560
It.
120
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.240
There's there's a lot to get into with all of it.
121
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.720
And also it's very it doesn't necessarily hold your hand,
122
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.480
which I do kind of like, but also it's somebody
123
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.560
who doesn't know shit about the British and Ireland Wars
124
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.040
and such. I was just like h and also like
125
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.079
I assume the Irish Republican Army. It's kind of like
126
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.040
how back in the day people who were called Republicans
127
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.720
were actually Democrats and vice versa.
128
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:48.279
I don't know.
129
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.360
Written it directed by Neil Jordan Uh, the director of
130
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.480
Inn Dreams. Check them out. We're gonna talk about it.
131
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.720
I'm a lot so yeah, starring Liam Mason as Michael
132
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.160
Collins prior to this Scaliber in nineteen eighty one. I'm
133
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.519
not doing his captain obvious ones for the most part,
134
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.720
Krawl in nineteen eighty three, Suspect in a Prayer, Suspect
135
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.079
and a Prayer for the Dying in nineteen eighty seven,
136
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.000
dark Man in nineteen ninety Hell yeah, Leap of Faith
137
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.759
in nineteen ninety two. I'm gonna watch that garbage. I
138
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.040
believe Leap of Faith. David Spade made a joke about that,
139
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.639
and then Steve Martin was like, I'm never going to
140
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.240
Cinel ever again or no, it was the thing. He
141
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.439
made fun of it, and
then the next weekend he's
142
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.399
doing He's doing the Weekend Update, Hollywood Corner or whatever.
143
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.000
It's called in like Steve Martin walks up behind him
144
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.399
like that type of thing. Oh okay, the movie Before
145
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.720
and After in nineteen ninety six, after this, but not
146
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.759
before Le mis Rob in nineteen ninety six. I watched
147
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.360
that in class because you have to.
148
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.920
I had to watch that, you except it was dubbed
149
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.959
in French, so I wasn't actually here in and Jeffrey
150
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.759
Rush and Claar Danes and Uma Thurman.
151
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.439
That's very funny because I must have watched in eighth
152
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.560
or ninth grade if I remember correctly, And all I
153
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.800
remember is Leam Neison just kept going I'm a convict,
154
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.120
like just over and over and in my head that's
155
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.240
all the dialogue. The Haunting in nineteen ninety nine, that's
156
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:15.040
a dreadful picture. Nobody comes out of that movie looking good, truly.
157
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.319
Gun Shy in two thousand, which is a Sandra Bullock vehicle.
158
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.399
I have not seen, but I will say that two
159
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.360
people I follow have seen it. Gavin has seen it
160
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.680
one star. Dan Mecca has seen it one star, which
161
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.720
you know it's terrible. Then even Dan gives it the
162
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.639
one K nineteen. The Widow Maker in two thousand and two. Sure,
163
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.559
no one remembers him and Gangs in New York in
164
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.240
two thousand and two. Keensey in two thousand and four,
165
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.960
directed by Bill Condon, who directed God's and Monsters. Listen
166
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.840
to our episode if I remember correctly, my impersonation of Kingsley,
167
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.799
which just him talking to his dad and be like, yes,
168
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.679
what dad, I have a job and I talk about
169
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.960
boners and he's like, I'll have none of this. Chloe
170
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.080
in two thousand and nine, Charlie, you're in our prayers
171
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.679
the A team and twenty ten they are pulling me
172
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.559
off the keyboard before I say anything else. Mark Felt
173
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.919
colon The Man who brought Down the White House in
174
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:10.360
twenty and seventeen. I didn't know there was a subtitle that.
175
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.480
I mean, you kind of have to because be like
176
00:09:12.559 -->
00:09:15.200
Mark Felt, who's that, Oh, the man who brought down
177
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.080
the Oh? Okay, I'll take three tickets.
178
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:19.960
I guess they want They didn't want to put they
179
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.279
didn't want to call him deep throat that I wouldn't
180
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.960
have enough to fill the going to the ticket kiosk.
181
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.840
I mean that's the Simpsons joke and Nelson months walking
182
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.320
out and be like, I can think of two things
183
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:35.399
wrong with that. Title also starring Aidan Quinn, Stephen ray Alan, Rickman,
184
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:40.399
and Julia Roberts. Okay Dan mccatt told us this it
185
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.960
was like watch out for her accent. I didn't notice
186
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:47.000
it being any bad or any different than anybody else's.
187
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.240
It's more just like what accent.
188
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.639
I don't know she's doing no in and out of it.
189
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.799
Particularly. I think it's the scene when it's like when
190
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.879
it's cross cutting between her and Liam Eson in the
191
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.799
room and then all all I'm like killing like the
192
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.879
British guys like Charles Dance and all that. Like it's
193
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.240
like the scene where she comes up to him at
194
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.039
the curtain and I'm like, the game you just not
195
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.639
like you're speaking in your natural American accent.
196
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:12.440
If she was like this scene, they're gonna play at
197
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.759
the Oscars, and I don't want to have a phony
198
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.679
blooney Irish accent, so I'm just gonna talk normally, like
199
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.759
I like, I'm I'm obviously not Irish, so I can't
200
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.200
tell what's good or bad as if like if they
201
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.519
were doing like an American accent and they're Irish persons,
202
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.679
in which they are always great whenever whenever foreigners do
203
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.120
American accents, but I was just like, sounds kind of
204
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.399
like an Irish accent to me. It's not that bad.
205
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.720
It's not Tom cruising far and away. But let's see, uh, trivia,
206
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.840
I have some things here. Despite continuing several brutal scenes
207
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.159
of violence, the film was given a very lenient PG
208
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.159
ratied in Ireland, which I'm sure in Ireland it's like
209
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.519
instead of PG, it's like three heads of a goat
210
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.399
or something like that.
211
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:53.879
I don't know.
212
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.600
The Irish paper fucking come for me. It became the
213
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.879
second most successful movie ever released in Ireland. Mary Louise
214
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.759
Parker was at a point of being signed on for
215
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.039
the part of Kitty when Neil Marshall got a call
216
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.799
from Julia Roberts, which imagine that and be like, yeah,
217
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.279
I'm almost about to get it, and he was just
218
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.519
like somebody more successful called I'm sorry, Like jeez, Which
219
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.159
what was Mary Louise Parker doing around that time, because
220
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:18.919
Boys on the.
221
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.679
Side maybe comes out that year with her go Brig
222
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.279
and Drew berrymar were just charming. She'd been with clients
223
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.639
and Fried Green Tomatoes, but those are a few years before,
224
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.200
so like that's just thinking of what she was in
225
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.919
around that time.
226
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.720
Boys on the Side. Who directed that.
227
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.240
That's Oh my gosh, Herbert Ross, who did Foolers.
228
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:41.879
Ross, Herbert Ross, who did My Blue Heaven? Yes, okay,
229
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:45.080
Herbert Ross Footlers, Yeah, my Blue Heaven. You know? Did
230
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.840
you know? It's kind of good Fellas before good Fellows?
231
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.000
Did you know that? The film received general positive reviews
232
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.200
from critics, but was criticized by some for its historical inaccuracies.
233
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.399
Neil Jordan definded his film by saying it could not
234
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.759
provide an entirely accurate account of the instance. There was
235
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.799
a two hour film that had to be understandable to
236
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.960
an international audience. It would not know that minue show
237
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:08.440
of Irish history. Buddy, I still don't understand gambril Byrne
238
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.720
was attached to the role of Michael Collins when Michael
239
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.720
Chimino was set to direct it. The final song by
240
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.559
Elie Goldenthal in the film Funeral Slash Coda is actually
241
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.919
Goldenthal's rejected finale for the movie Heat from nineteen ninety five,
242
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.639
which director Michael Mann replaced with an existant MOBI piece.
243
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:25.879
Oh I mean.
244
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.799
Yeah, you were just like that shuit have okay? Bottom
245
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:36.159
of the Barrel DVD fact here from IMDb. The first
246
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.200
DVD
release was a was flippable and had two sides,
247
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.799
much like an old LP, similar to the first DVD
248
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.480
release of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves in nineteen ninety one.
249
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.039
You say that, like that means.
250
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.759
Something wide screen, full screen.
251
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.080
I think, hold on that, We're not done. In one
252
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.360
of the first scenes, Michael Collins fought along with the
253
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.480
rebellion against the military. After you flip over the DVD,
254
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.120
the first scene shown is Collins now on the military side,
255
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.840
fighting against the newly formed rebellion. The side change of
256
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.240
the DVD dramastically marks the change of Colin's position. Shut
257
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:16.759
the fuck up, that makes sure, But that wasn't done intentionally.
258
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.080
And also why was the DVD released half of the
259
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.679
movie on one side and the other half, so one
260
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.000
half was an hour and the other half was another hour?
261
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.320
Like, you know, that's the thing I do strongly associated with,
262
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.080
like the ages taves, like you know, the first tape
263
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.320
with the Titanic of Titanic. No, but like yeah, well yeah,
264
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.399
and but it's just I do associate with tapes just
265
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.320
because of like I think of them not having as
266
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.840
much you know, room and everything. But then like you know,
267
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.080
I remember when I was in university, I had I
268
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.360
had to watch Wiatt the Lawrence Kasten movie, which is
269
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.080
also very long, and that like the DVD was like
270
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.279
it's like, you know, he shows up at times like
271
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.200
I'm wide or it says put in disc too, and
272
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.279
I'm like, OK.
273
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.000
I mean yeah, that's the thing is they cut it
274
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.759
in half. Usually at the midpoint there's you know, escalating action.
275
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.240
So it's not exactly I don't think people are Warner Brothers,
276
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.679
just like and right here, it would be perfect and
277
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:15.360
that that we made sure when we fit whatever I'm going.
278
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.960
In charge of, Like if it was like to be
279
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:17.120
like it's sort.
280
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.600
Of like I'm white as it's like my please please
281
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:27.240
put in chute sentence. If the price of freedom is
282
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.559
the blackling of my name, will pay it.
283
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.399
The New York Times says Michael Collins is passionate, sweeping,
284
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.960
and entertaining. CBS TV says Lea Needson a shure to
285
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.399
win an Oscar nomination.
286
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:38.960
Won't they started?
287
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.039
There'll be no stuff.
288
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.679
It's a powerful, strong, and provocative epic raives the Los
289
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.279
Angeles Times with romance, passion, and excitement and Cisco and me,
290
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.799
but give it two thumbs up. Michael Collins righted are
291
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.320
now playing Select Cities, opens October twenty.
292
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.519
Okay, that's all the trivia I have. You did much
293
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.840
more extensive trivia.
294
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.120
Let's maybe don't don't keep too much credit on me.
295
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.080
But yeah, what do I have here? I mean, yeah,
296
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.799
the Irish popularity of the movie. Like you know, obviously
297
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.799
reading an article from like twenty sixteen where there was
298
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.360
like a you know, a special twentieth anniversary screening with
299
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.200
like a new digital print at the Savoy Cinema in Dublin.
300
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.080
So like the movie has like, you know, quite the
301
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.039
reputation in like that that sort of like local popularity factor. Yeah.
302
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.159
This it's just interesting because I don't know Neil Jordan's
303
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.039
like popularity now as a filmmaker. I feel like his
304
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.039
last movie, Marlowe with Liam Neeson was not like especially
305
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.399
did not really make much of a splash, but like
306
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.200
this was like, you know, up blank up, blank check project,
307
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:38.759
because you know, it's like the one two punch of
308
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:43.720
like the sort of awards and financial success of the
309
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:45.720
Crying Game. Followed up with the interview of the Vampire,
310
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.639
which was like a smash hit, and then David Gevin
311
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.639
basically being like, what do you want to make? And
312
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.720
then Jordan's saying, I wrote the script for Michael Collins
313
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.879
movie like back when I was starting out, and now
314
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.120
I want to make this, and he gets like thirty
315
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.080
million to make it. Like that's really cool that he
316
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.080
got to do that, like that Passion Project. Whatever you
317
00:16:02.159
--> 00:16:03.879
think about the movie itself.
318
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.039
The thing is that David Geffen was just like, okay,
319
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:12.080
crying game, sensational, sexy, controversial interview with the vampire, We
320
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.759
got Tom Cruise, all this stuff. What do you got?
321
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.000
He was like, how about an Irish revolutionary from the nineteen.
322
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:26.000
Tenth Okay, you've earned it. Yeah. The controversy with the movie,
323
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.039
like you said, with the historical inaccuracies where like you
324
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.399
know the where it's the interesting thing. I didn't know
325
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.200
that the scene where like the tanks coming to the
326
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.320
rugby field and shoot a bunch of spectators and players
327
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.960
that was an event known as some bloody Sunday, which
328
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.480
that was like and I was like, I was thinking,
329
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.159
I didn't know that there was like another terrible event
330
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.600
in Irish history called bloody Sunday from like you know,
331
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.600
different decades in that century. But I guess people were like,
332
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.480
it's and now a lot of people were killed fourteen
333
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.279
deaths recorded, but like it is like I guess you know,
334
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.440
people were like people were saying, oh, it's like Jordan
335
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:59.240
maybe like puffing this up where it's like, you know,
336
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.279
who is like was it clear that like because in
337
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.559
the movie, I guess it's like they say, they make
338
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.440
it seem like it's more deliberate that they like shoot
339
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.839
the rugby player who refuses to stop the game and anything.
340
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.720
But then like I guess like people were saying, oh,
341
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.319
was it actually that they were? You know, I mean
342
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.880
it's all honestly, it's stupid nitpicking, like you know the
343
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.519
thing of like saying, well, were they just like firing
344
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:21.640
in discriminately or like were they actually going after people?
345
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.440
It's like they shot people. It sucks, like what are
346
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:27.559
you talking about? And anything? And it's Yeah. The other
347
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.440
controversy to is like how the ending of the movie
348
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.119
makes it seem aim and David Lera who later became
349
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.440
Ireland's president for many years later that century, how like
350
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.119
it makes him look like he was responsible for like
351
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.680
sort of giving the go ahead from Michael Collins' death,
352
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.039
which I agree with Jordan that it doesn't really make
353
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:46.839
it seem like that he's just more kind of like
354
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.440
passive and everything. It's more like Jonathan Reesemeyers' character takes
355
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.920
the reins from it, which I looked at I checked
356
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.759
I'm in the movie and everything, especially because Joahthan restarts up.
357
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.359
I'm like, oh, hey, like I know him more just
358
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.680
you know, from later movies and anything. But then like uhm,
359
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:03.400
Collins like has the scene with him and he's like,
360
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.599
what's your name? Boy? I know anything. I'm thinking, is
361
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.200
this gonna get to try I'd be like where where
362
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.960
Johnthan retards is like going to try out to be
363
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:11.279
like some famous dude who like, you know, in like
364
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.079
history and everything. I mean kind of like if you
365
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:17.200
were making like an a uh like uh uh I
366
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.440
guess I'm thinking of like you know, when I watched
367
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.400
like The lawn Riders where it's what the James Deaner game,
368
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.359
It's like it's like justin James going in me to
369
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:25.720
get meet these guys. It's like, hey, just James meet
370
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:31.319
Bob Ford. Just being like, oh, well that's gonna end badly.
371
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.680
Well, nobody will ever hear from him again, I'm just like, hey,
372
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.440
where do you I'm one of the mortal instruments. Wait
373
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.400
in the City of Bones. That's me from Paris with
374
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:46.759
love and then cuts. Also I needed to I needed
375
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.519
to look up because I was like, there's more than
376
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.359
one Bloody Sunday. And I was like, well, which bloody
377
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.240
Sunday is YouTube talking about on Sunday? Bloody Sunday that's
378
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.839
from seventy two, yeah, not not from this time. Also
379
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.839
Sunday Buddy Sunday, the cover of it by Saul Williams.
380
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:02.839
That's my shit right there.
381
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.920
But yeah, I guess people were pestive about the Amen
382
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.519
Diblera stuff and Jordan, I think is a little bit
383
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.599
of basse of it. But he did say in a
384
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:10.720
couple of figure us he's like also like he says like, well,
385
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.000
I
grew up in Ireland when he was president and
386
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.640
I didn't really like that. So maybe there's I think
387
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.279
he was maybe like possibly admitting like there was maybe
388
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.000
just a little bit of uh, you know, I ill
389
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.519
feeling sarage towards him. A lot of controversy but or
390
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.240
not controversy but sort of like kind of a tense
391
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.799
atmosphere because this movie's come in the nineties and it's
392
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.640
making movies. It's a movie about the IRA, and there
393
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.960
are the IRA is still carrying out attacks while the
394
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.039
movie's being made. It says like in February ninety six.
395
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.720
This is from a Rolling Stone article by Fred Strewers.
396
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.839
It says in Februar nineteen niney six, the seventeen months
397
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.759
ceasefire ended when IRA bombing London's Financial district killed two.
398
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.920
By standards, now Laca Collins opeens just weeks after an
399
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.119
alleged IRA agent the violence sort of the toucher BRIT's
400
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.079
view is a mc Collins's spiritual errors was killed in
401
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:57.039
the London police raid, made allegations seeking and several confederates
402
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:58.960
arrested on the same day had been stashing explosives with
403
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.599
the aim of sabotage the tunnel beneath the English Channel.
404
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.319
I just feel like mentioning this quote because I feel like,
405
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:06.160
even though though this is like, I think of like, well,
406
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.720
this is what they intended, but it clearly did not
407
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.039
have this impact on one Kevin Tutor, where it says
408
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.119
producer Stephen Wooley, what was important to me was that
409
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.279
Michael Collins wasn't going to be a dry movie. Don't
410
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:15.960
have to be a sense of the surreal, this strange
411
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:17.519
to make a fly because with that the Neil Jordan
412
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.000
imprint on this, it was simply become a history lesson
413
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.519
And Kevin, you're hearing it, you're probably thinking, still still
414
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:25.519
does it?
415
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.279
It was? It was wild. I think I thought it
416
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:29.279
was like the end of the movie for like five
417
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.519
seconds and I was like, there's no way. It like
418
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.119
pops up with a title card with like forty minutes left,
419
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.599
and I was like, you
couldn't have conveyed this any
420
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.960
way besides putting up a random title card.
421
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:42.400
They do have a lot of title cards. Yeah, And
422
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.960
it's also just like the thing of like I don't
423
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.559
know why they had to have the framing device of
424
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:49.160
Ian Hart saying like Michael Collins was a great man.
425
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.039
Here's the movie telling you why hap to come back
426
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.559
at the end.
427
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:58.319
It does also am pretty sure open with Alan Rickman
428
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.720
being like, man, he sure did. I didn't he And
429
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:05.160
I was like, hey, man, what the fuck. I guess
430
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.359
it's a thing of I guess it's not that big
431
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:09.640
of a spoiler or whatever.
432
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:13.759
But yeah, she was you'd be amazed that a guy
433
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.759
who was in his twenties in the nineteen tens and
434
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.720
twenties didn't wasn't still alive by the time the movie
435
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.200
came out.
436
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:26.039
But I mean you could have been ninety. Yeah, the
437
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.720
IRA had anything just say.
438
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.039
Oh that was another wild thing too, is that that Jordan?
439
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:35.440
This is Jordan saying this, but like that, like for
440
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.960
like the big bloody Sunday scene one of the extras,
441
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.319
and there were like a lot of people like who
442
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.039
were extras in this movie because they were like, you know,
443
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.039
this just like a big big deal in Ireland, as
444
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:44.599
you said, and anything. Some people wanted to be extras
445
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:46.480
in the movie. Some people just wanted to see the making.
446
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.039
But one of the extras in that scene was Michael
447
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.960
Collins's grandies. I think it's what Jordan said and like
448
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.960
you didn't know about it until like she showed up
449
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.799
and everything. He was just like wow, wild and they
450
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.400
do you think Michael Collins's family at the end of
451
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.880
the credits. The other thing too, like people, you know,
452
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.599
people dying, is that they I think they talked about
453
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.720
in another article that the Stephen Ray character ned broy
454
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.640
This is from a Joel Boco article on Lost in
455
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.680
the Movies from twenty ten where it says that Ned
456
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.440
broy he is He's
like it's a composite of like him,
457
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:20.799
like you know a detective who collaborate with the IRA.
458
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.000
This is Baco saying with a three volunteers killed on
459
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.759
eve bloody Sunday particular, and people were there was consternation
460
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.400
about it because Broyd lived well into old age, playing
461
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.240
an important part of the Civil War period, whereas like
462
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.920
in the movie they make it like a big deal
463
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.519
kind of in like the escalation of like you know
464
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:37.160
fighting it's the British, you know, when when they like
465
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.559
kill Stephen Ray's character. Just talking about there was an
466
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.680
article I I read from History Irawood by Luke Gibbons
467
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.480
where I was talking about this movie how Jordan was
468
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.799
like lifting kind of consciously from like gangster movies like
469
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.960
The Godfather, especially like with the scene where they're cross
470
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.960
kind of between like you know, Julia Robertson and Leamyson
471
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.440
talking about like you know, fat flowers and bouquets and everything,
472
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.400
and then like you know, all the assassinations.
473
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.079
I'll get I'll get to their relationship eventually.
474
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.319
Oh, this is another weird thing. I find this interesting.
475
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.440
There's a really good pace start. There was a paste
476
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.720
article that was coming by Kiara Maloney. Sorry if I'm
477
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.759
getting their name wrong, but they were talking about how like,
478
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.559
you know the legacy of this movie being like really
479
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.119
popular in Ireland and not so much elsewhere, how it
480
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.920
was like you know, a classroom staple growing up in Ireland,
481
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.480
and uh, you know there was like re releases.
482
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:28.319
Uh.
483
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.319
The author said that they had a paperback copy of
484
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:35.079
the screenplay. But also they say that the scene where
485
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.519
Steven Ray's character ned Roy is taking notes at one
486
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.880
of Michael Collins's speeches is quote the definitive meme of
487
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.720
Irish twitter. The Goachy responds to any and all west
488
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:46.359
bridgery and I'm just like, I love that, I love it.
489
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:47.200
I love that this.
490
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.799
Used as like a saucy meme. I just think that's
491
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:52.319
so funny.
492
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.599
Oh, you're pulling out the Collins meme, Maria. Oh.
493
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:56.559
The other big thing too, we talked about this before
494
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.279
were gone on, Mike, is that the movie ends the
495
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:02.799
shocking uh from that Michael Collins was in his thirties
496
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.559
when he died, and he is played by a forty
497
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.680
like a forty something Liam Neeson that was, and I
498
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:09.920
was like, name wool, I mean, I don't know, But
499
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.279
then you see pictures of like people of young people
500
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.920
like in that era, and it's it's like, I don't know.
501
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.880
Maybe he lived a cigarette smoke and drinking. Maybe that
502
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.920
was the kind of thing that was going on there.
503
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.440
Dying from the common cold and shit. Uh. He played
504
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.039
Roam Collins died at thirty one, I believe, and leam
505
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.079
Neson was playing him at forty three. And the movie
506
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.559
starts out in nineteen sixteen, and I believe Collins dies
507
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:39.200
in nineteen twenty two, So Collins was twenty six and
508
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:41.240
Liam Neeson was still playing him as a forty three
509
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.359
year old. Well, that's nuts.
510
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.759
And it's just funny too, because Jordan said in an
511
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.359
interview with Atrish American Magazine, when he was called that
512
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.119
on sort of casting an American actress to play Kitty
513
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.680
the love Interest, how I says, like my perception at
514
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.839
the time was I might be wrong. He was probably
515
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.240
always that. There was a tremendous amount of very strong
516
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.319
male actors between eighteen and twenty six, but the best
517
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:06.720
of the Irish actresses, like brid Brennan. We're all just
518
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.640
slightly too old for that role. So I started looking.
519
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:10.680
I brought it. Julia called me up. Seems a little
520
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.920
shit to say that when you're casting the very old
521
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:16.200
or you know, but comparatively much older Liam needs to
522
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:18.680
play that role. But of Michael Collins.
523
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.880
But yeah, whatever, he hired her because they thought of it.
524
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:24.240
People go see the movie of Julia Roberts, who was
525
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:27.039
ended over Mary Louise Parker, which you're not wrong, but
526
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.720
also not really because most people want to go see
527
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.839
where Irish people and they're not just like going ahead
528
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:34.799
over heels for fucking Julia Roberts.
529
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:36.599
I guess it's like, you know, there's like talk about
530
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:39.319
like always the movie like too sympathetic to Michael Collins
531
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.440
and everything portray him. It's like, you know, pretty like
532
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:42.880
you know, having like only just a little bit of
533
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.400
conflict but overall being like better and then like you know,
534
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.799
maybe the British being like you know, it's sort of
535
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.119
like maybe being a little too clear cut between and
536
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.799
making the British looking look bad and everything, but like
537
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:57.039
it's also just like you look at like evil colonizing
538
00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:58.880
forces and it's just like I don't know, man, like
539
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:01.680
real life is just like can be just like really
540
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.839
extreme in anything. Like it's like I don't know, and uh.
541
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:08.960
Somebody please think of the British.
542
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:11.319
And I guess also just a Neil Jordan like talking
543
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:13.640
about like how he like says like he's like, you know,
544
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:15.799
he doesn't support the IRA and he doesn't support violence.
545
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:17.480
It's like it's like thort of a tool and anything,
546
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.319
but he is like trying to understand it and everything.
547
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.359
I think that's like and I think that's an interesting distinction.
548
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.839
It's like I think Neil Jordan definitely, Uh, what is
549
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.160
the scene where they're going through the building and there's
550
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.119
people outside the windows like throwing food at him and whatnot,
551
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:30.640
and then they start shooting at him and then my
552
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.480
man with the cleanest Molotov cocktail chunks of shit right
553
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.000
at their truck. I mean, that's been a little too
554
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:38.960
much fun for that to be like violence is not
555
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.480
the answer.
556
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.079
Well yeah, but but I mean it is like the
557
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:43.680
thing I think showing how it is like differently weighted
558
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.680
in everything, how it's like the British and just as
559
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:48.680
the at least he's portrayed in this movie are setting
560
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.279
the tone for all this like they are like, you know,
561
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:53.720
like it's like, oh my goodness, I mean pelts him
562
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.160
and Lennis, I gotta shoot somebody. It's just like it's
563
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:59.119
just like when that's like your means, it's like, I
564
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.359
don't I feel like you lose the high ground baron
565
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:05.039
or anything. It's just like, yeah, anyways.
566
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.519
Didn't even they didn't even watch the Veggies before they
567
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.480
threw it on us, don't you understand, Captain?
568
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:09.759
Yeah.
569
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:12.759
No's that's that's the majority of the stuff that I
570
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.160
found in my research. Hopefully that's I'm giving enough good context. There.
571
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:23.119
Open the Michael Collins biography and we'll start from page one. Yeah. Yeah.
572
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.559
As far as opinions on this, this movie is not
573
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.920
made for me. This movie is very dry. I think
574
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:34.319
Nisson is good. I don't think I've ever seen leam
575
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.559
Neson not be at least passably good. Okay, So Julia
576
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.920
Roberts is in this movie and she is dating somebody,
577
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.440
and at one point leam Mason approaches them. It's like, hey,
578
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:47.759
how's it going, and he's like, I can see when
579
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.319
I'm not wanted. And they don't even do like no, no, no, no,
580
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:51.799
it's good. They just like look at him and be
581
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:57.039
like all right bye, and then that guy goes off.
582
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.000
I don't know if he's going off to whatever.
583
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:01.680
No, he goes to a mayor. He goes because Alan
584
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.160
in the tipulary, I want to like tell American people
585
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.440
about like our Irish cause or anything un is. And
586
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.359
it has to be with the Rickman over that, because
587
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:13.079
he's say like, you're taking away my right hand man,
588
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.160
like you know we're not gonna be You're worried about us,
589
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.240
like starting up trouble together. And then that's when he
590
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:18.279
and Roberts get closer.
591
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.240
That's right, get closer. He is. He's still an eyeshot.
592
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.759
My man goes over and starts making out there, which
593
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.079
I get because people were coming up to her being like, hey,
594
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:31.559
what are you doing? And he likes pretending that they're together.
595
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:39.880
But what he was waiting, he probably paid those cops
596
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.640
to go and a harassmer just so he could be pretend. Yeah, whatever.
597
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:48.480
I don't understand their relationship whatsoever, like whatsoever other than like,
598
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:50.880
well it is an hour into this movie, and we
599
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.839
do need a romance. And I'm like, I don't get it.
600
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:54.920
Why are they talking about flowers in a room, like
601
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:58.559
I don't care, but it's just so funny, like literally
602
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:00.559
five seconds, like the dude is on the train and
603
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.000
being like you can still clearly see Julia Roberts and
604
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.680
then leam Neeson just pulling up from forty not to Okay,
605
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.160
how old was Julia Roberts at the time, I had to,
606
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.319
I would say mid thirties probably.
607
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.759
Let's see she's born in next and sixty seven, I think.
608
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.200
So she's twenty nine.
609
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.000
Yeah, there you go, probably twenty eight when she's calling this.
610
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:28.599
Yeah, okay. I don't know why I asked, but.
611
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.200
Uh, canceling Michael Collins years after his death from.
612
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.960
From the grave. I mean, the real story is probably like, yeah,
613
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.920
she was like seventeen probably, but like I assume because
614
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.559
you said one of her, one of his granddaughters was
615
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:50.680
in the movie as a grand niece. So I unless
616
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:54.359
the historical inaccuracies is this woman who's played by Julia
617
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.119
Roberts's eventually the woman that has his children.
618
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:00.880
I don't know, and can he and I can look
619
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.559
up actually how far apart she was in age. She's
620
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.400
born in eighteen eighty three, Uncle Collins, damn. She was
621
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.519
also born in eighteen eighty, so there's a three year
622
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:10.559
difference between them that does not look like a three
623
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:14.200
year difference. So as played by Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts,
624
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:14.519
he's like.
625
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.240
Meason twenty five in this movie and he has crows feet.
626
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.640
I think it even makes a crackable points like what
627
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.359
would you watch with an old man like me? And
628
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:24.200
then it's just like and the movie is like thirty one,
629
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:25.920
I guess, like, but then again I guess it's like
630
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:28.200
what was the mortality rate in like you know, in
631
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:30.079
Ireland in the early twentieth century, it's like if you're
632
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.559
thirty one or you like, it's like, oh kens in
633
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:33.039
the end.
634
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.440
Now thirty one you have three grandchildren? Like favorite that
635
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.240
what's the one thing? It was like you give a
636
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:43.200
pilgrim a sour patch kid and fucking kill them. The
637
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:45.599
same thing with Michael Collins and be like, dude, you
638
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.200
don't have to shoot him or try to go through
639
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.799
all of this like dog, I got like high, high,
640
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.920
high contrast fucking sugar frutos to give to him and
641
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:56.240
knock his ass out immediately. It is very funny where
642
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.599
they like they at the ambush at the end they
643
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:01.759
have to do all that to kill him, and I
644
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:06.200
was like, y'all had so many opportunities, Like he was
645
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:09.440
never really hiding. Even when Alan Rickman, like they broke
646
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:11.759
break him out of prison, like the next day he's
647
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:14.519
just out in the middle of fucking any Yeah.
648
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:16.400
It's and the thing is like I guess it's just
649
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.920
again remembering the times, Like Michael Collins says like, well,
650
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.759
but the thing is like my anonymity and no one
651
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.880
knowing who I am. It brings the mind the John
652
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:25.599
Lady bit of talking about like going to see public
653
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.680
enemies and being like so if you rob the bank
654
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.640
in like the twenties, as long as you work there
655
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.200
when they cop shut up, you can basically get away
656
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:33.400
with it.
657
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.400
Well, there's there's a shot in the movie where it's
658
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:38.200
just like there's a horde of people and they're like,
659
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.279
who's Michael Collins And they just like throw some like
660
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.200
little guy and he's like he's Michael Collins. He's shorter
661
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.240
than you think, Isn't.
662
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:47.680
He amazing that that guy doesn't get like immediately shot.
663
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.119
Just keeps throwing people out there and be like that's
664
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.640
a ninth person we've killed who said they're Michael Collins.
665
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.400
And that fuckers still out there already was with Julia
666
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.240
Roberts last week. Who's that? Don't worry. I guess there
667
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.480
is stuff to talk about, except not just in the
668
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:05.599
movie for me, because I it was it was one
669
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.359
of those I was watching the movie trying to concentrate,
670
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:10.880
and I was like, didn't I get Contact Solution? I
671
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.279
thought I bought Contact Solution at Target? Did I buy Contact?
672
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:16.359
Hold on, let me pause this. I gotta go check
673
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.480
and be like I really should have bought Contact what
674
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:20.680
I was at Target and I didn't buy it? And
675
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.880
then I'm watching it again, I'm like, should I go
676
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:27.799
and pick some content? That type of thing where I'm
677
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:30.880
just like focus and I'm like, okay, okay, I am focused?
678
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.079
Focus Will Will Smith in the movie Focus? Have I
679
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:36.519
seen Focus?
680
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.079
It was to be the purpose of even needing to
681
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:42.519
your brain was to be ads.
682
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:46.559
Basically, I thought that was a two hour long movie.
683
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.920
Why did it take you three and a half hours? Brain? Ads?
684
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.000
I don't know what to tell you, but I mean
685
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.000
I am like that where it's not like I'm scrolling
686
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:56.920
on my phone, just be like I can't follow this movie.
687
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.839
I'm like sitting there and I'm just like, wait what
688
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.039
just happened? And after aw I can't I can only
689
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.559
go back so many times to be like, what just happened?
690
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.880
Oh what does that mean? Whatever? Like but what what
691
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.279
you what were the highlights for you? As far as
692
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:13.680
just I mean it is a biopic kind of not
693
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:14.640
really thankfully.
694
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.920
Yeah, I mean he's definitely the character that they flesh
695
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:23.680
out the most for sure, Michael Collins himself. It's I mean,
696
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.640
what's the joke that people love to decide from the senses?
697
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:28.799
Like every time Michael Collins is on screen, people should
698
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.720
be asking where is Michael Collins? Yeah? I think the
699
00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:34.400
thing I liked about this sort of took me best
700
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.519
surprise was like it was was how there was like
701
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:41.519
kind of a how like Neil Jordan did sort of
702
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.000
like remember, sort of did make a lot of this
703
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:46.720
look exciting, makes it sound like it's glorifine and anything,
704
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:48.960
but like there is like a great amount of tension
705
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.759
to it and like and sort of making it the
706
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:54.839
gangster sort of movie influence. I'm not sure that's what
707
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:56.279
I thought of and anything, but it's like there is
708
00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.440
like sort of like a genre fiel of a genre movie.
709
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.640
I think especially I like the Principer scene where like
710
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.480
they're using like signals of to like you know, you know,
711
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:06.839
and like I to like communicate with each other like
712
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:08.440
when they're going to like execute the next step in
713
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:10.079
their plan. And I think the way like Jordan like
714
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.000
cuts it all together like very fluidly does like give
715
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:14.440
you a sense of like sort of like a cool
716
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.440
plan being set into place almost kind of like a
717
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:20.000
highest movie. Sounds like a lousy comparison or anything, but
718
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:21.920
it's like, you know when like you know, Gleason is
719
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:23.280
like you know, has a gun that's in the head
720
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.159
of a driver and like gets them to flashes lights
721
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.000
cut to a cut to a much further away in
722
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:30.000
the scene, Aid and Quinn lights a cigarette, then cut
723
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:32.199
them like the other side and Liam Neeson like you know,
724
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:34.840
using the key to like break Alan Rickman at a prison.
725
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.800
And I'm like thinking, Oh, it's so cool. How like
726
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.599
they're all like you know, speaking to each other and
727
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.519
like the know, in their own sort of code and everything.
728
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:42.159
And I don't know, I like that sort of like
729
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.000
the covert operations and there are like a lot of
730
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:48.280
it's sometimes it's a bit dizzy and how much is happening.
731
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:50.159
How much incident is happening to the movie where you're
732
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.000
just dropped into a scene, uh, and like like I
733
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:55.800
like there's like the scene where I think it's Alan
734
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:00.159
Rickman once he comes back from America. He's just out
735
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:03.039
to see This suggests some sort of I'm sorry, my
736
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:05.039
memory is sort of betraying me at this moment.
737
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.639
But he's just on the custom house.
738
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.800
Yes, And Michael con says that seems
like a bad idea.
739
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:15.920
The camera's frantic as fu Yeah.
740
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.000
And Jordan shoots it all very dynamically and like the
741
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.559
Chris Benji's cinematography. I love like all the gorgeous blue
742
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:24.360
smoky lightning like gives it like such a sense of
743
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:27.239
texture of probably what getting sort of a sense of
744
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:29.440
what it all feels like, and all feels very sort
745
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.360
of suffused with melancholy, even like in the in the
746
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:34.400
moments of like when they're feeling joy, it's like often
747
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.599
undercutting that in the next scene. But like it is
748
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:41.039
just like a thing where it's like whoa, we're like handling,
749
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:44.400
like we're like like going like hurdling like through plot here,
750
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.960
Like it's a lot that's happening, and sometimes like it
751
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.400
can be a bit tough to keep up with.
752
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:51.519
Chris Benji's who shot Stop Loss, which will become in
753
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.119
the next mini series There we Go. He also shot
754
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:55.440
the Good Thief.
755
00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.920
Gorgeous looking movie. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Yeah, there's that
756
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.599
great scene in that movie where like they go to
757
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:04.199
visit some guy who's gonna like help them, like you know,
758
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.719
with like some sort of tech stuff, and it's like
759
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.679
just this blue room where he's like playing the electric
760
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:10.840
guitar or this guy's like playing electric guitar, and like
761
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:12.559
it's like they can all these green lasers just shoot
762
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:14.880
around the room in these crazy directions. Oh, it's awesome.
763
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:18.599
He also shot I'm sorry a movie that does not exist,
764
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.719
but I need to tell Jack Draper about this because
765
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:25.519
it's directed by Tommy Lee Jones. The Three Burials Melliquad's Estrata.
766
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.159
Yeah, I've heard that's really good. I think that's fake movie.
767
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:32.519
It's a gamera ariaga. I think we wrote that the
768
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:36.039
guy who wrote like amars Paros, the inter Retoo movie.
769
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:44.159
Yes, also staring January Jones our finest film actress, okay, Michael.
770
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:49.199
Collins, Yeah, no, and I liked. I do think there
771
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:51.039
are like some parts of this movie that didn't entirely
772
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:51.400
work for me.
773
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:51.920
I do think.
774
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:53.760
I think the part where I wrote in my notes, Okay,
775
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.159
this is a bit much is the cross cutting climax
776
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:59.719
between Julie Roberts wedding shopping and Michael Collins getting this
777
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:03.239
sass while Shernado o'cnnor sings about wedding days on the
778
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.599
center track. The Shneada connor's on is great. Don't get
779
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:09.400
me wrong. I love Shranada O'Connor, And I think the
780
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:11.719
actual scene of Collins of his death, I think is
781
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.280
like quite well staged and everything, but like it's just
782
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.519
like that's like cut into Roberts. So it's how often
783
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:19.079
they cut to Roberts in the wedding dress. I think
784
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.159
when those they're trading it, I'm like, that's a bit much.
785
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:24.920
Whereas I really like the follow up scene where it's
786
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:27.039
her return to the hotel where she's staying at and
787
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:29.400
like the sais and guy like coming to like sort
788
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:32.760
of moving like left across like the stair ups there
789
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:35.519
and then and then they like cross pass eventually and
790
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:37.880
he's like, I need to tell you something, and she doesn't,
791
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.840
Like she just like immediately gets it so and well directed.
792
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:43.480
To they're not going to have that wedding. I don't
793
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.119
think you've understood when she was at the.
794
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.679
I know it's uh, that was the part where I
795
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.599
was like, okay, yeah, so I think that was Like
796
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.440
my thing with the movie is like I was taken
797
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.599
with sort of like the sheer amount of like incident.
798
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:57.639
And I do think like missing is quite good in
799
00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:59.440
this how like, especially like when he is playing his
800
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.599
characters sort of like as like a bit mischievous and everything.
801
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:05.239
Like I think it's really funny when like they finally
802
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.679
like sign like the peace Treaty where it's like they're
803
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.840
gonna like there's still gonna be under British rule, but
804
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:13.639
like they're and they're gonna divide up like Ireland and everything,
805
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.360
but like there's like there's gonna be like some compromises
806
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:17.679
that will help him out and everything. And then like
807
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:19.960
Leam Theesen is told that he's late to the meeting
808
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:21.880
where they're like they're they're sort of putting the thing
809
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:25.119
into and display where they're lowering the British flag. It's
810
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:26.960
like he's told, you're seven minutes late. It's like you
811
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.079
found our country for seven hundred years, you can wait
812
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.400
to set, you can have your seven minutes. And then
813
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:32.039
he says, do I have to broad out hats now?
814
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:33.840
When he's liked and I was just like, I just
815
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:35.519
like that these sort of like messing with people while
816
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:38.000
also like clearly like having a lot of passion for
817
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:40.519
like since your passion for his country and wanting to
818
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:43.280
be free and that. And that's an interesting thing too
819
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.000
that the movie has where it is like a lot
820
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:49.039
of like the sort of the third act thing. It's
821
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.760
like and it is interesting thing like when you're watching
822
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:53.320
it's like forty minutes, it's like, oh, there's like forty
823
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:54.880
minutes left to this movie. It's like but like they
824
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:56.679
just said that the war's over. It's like, well no,
825
00:38:56.840 --> 00:39:00.440
there's like an immedia fallout from that where it's like
826
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:03.039
division amongst the Irish. But I do think it's interesting
827
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:04.960
how it's like not just you know, I don't think
828
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.320
it entirely the movie is that portraying. It's like, man,
829
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.119
those Irish, they really just couldn't keep it together. It's
830
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:12.320
like the and it's a thing that I think they
831
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:14.800
they make like a passing reference to it about like
832
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:16.320
it's like, well, we could get like Churchill's men to
833
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:18.719
like come back in and like Niece says, Oh, that's
834
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:21.280
what you want, isn't it. And it is interesting of
835
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.199
how like I'm not saying this is what happened or
836
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.480
that movie is like necessarily necessarily saying that. But it's
837
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.239
like the British are like so hard on the Irish
838
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:29.920
in this movie and like you know, really going after
839
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:32.400
them in brutal ways, and then they give them the deal.
840
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:34.039
But then it's like almost kind of like they're just
841
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.039
the deal that gives them is like they is it
842
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:38.920
like where they perhaps aware that they were going to
843
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:41.960
maybe destroy the Irish from within and or anything. I
844
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:43.679
don't know. It's just interesting that that's like a thing
845
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:47.039
that they they plant that seed there. Yeah, it's like
846
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.800
a thing of like you know the I mean did
847
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.400
they talk about like even just making the movie. It's
848
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.280
like a movie about like something that happened like earlier
849
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:56.679
in the century, but like you know, it's like still relevant,
850
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:00.199
still relevant when they were making the movie. And and
851
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.280
I mean, yeah, like you look at like there's uh,
852
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.079
there's still places in the world where like you know
853
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:09.360
where like you know, there's still colonization going on, and
854
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:10.920
like you know, like you're just like thinking like and
855
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:13.400
like the the oppressor of horses are so brut all.
856
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:16.079
You're just thinking like it's it's it's terrible. There's no
857
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.039
justification to treat people like that. It's just terrible.
858
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.199
I was about to say it it was ninety six.
859
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.599
I was about to say. I was like, isn't isn't
860
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:27.239
the handover of Hong Kong from the UK to back
861
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:29.239
to China as that that's a ninety seven?
862
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.519
So yes, that that that sounds about right, Yeah, because
863
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:34.000
I know there's like some movies about that. I think
864
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:36.679
I think, isn't that what the Troy hark Chuck that
865
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.159
movie Knockoff is about? Or isn't it like said around
866
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:39.960
that time.
867
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:43.840
Maybe yeah, did Rob Schneider know that when he was
868
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.559
getting ready for his role in that feature film, I've
869
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.679
not seen knock Knockoff one movie after one hundred and
870
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:53.320
fifty six years. The British were like, it's yours fine.
871
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:56.519
Like, I mean, well they say seven hundred years at
872
00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.920
the start of the movie. Don't they like that? It
873
00:40:57.960 --> 00:40:59.719
was like that was like they've had them for like wait,
874
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:01.199
I was talking about.
875
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:06.800
Hong Kong, not yes, damn that was damn Hong Kong
876
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:11.119
was light numbers for them. Damn God, British people saw it.
877
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:16.719
That was the thing. I think you.
Uh, wasn't that
878
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:18.519
your letter box if you're a black bag where you
879
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:20.679
saw it like as a Soderberg cran you were like, no,
880
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.960
my told me this was British.
881
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:25.880
Yeah, Jack put that on and I was like, okay,
882
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.880
yeah to do so oh no. I was like, so well,
883
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:33.159
surely the next person doesn't have an X. God damn it.
884
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.880
I was like, I'm not here for all this espionage
885
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:40.079
British bullshit, especially when it ends and it's just like whoa.
886
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:42.039
That was a weird week and I was like, what
887
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.199
did we learn? Like, I don't know. Soderberg was very
888
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.800
hit or miss for me, but usually miss is never
889
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.320
like bad. I'm just like, like, was it uh? No
890
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:56.639
false move move? I thought that was also like fine?
891
00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:57.440
Uh?
892
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.280
The NBA movie uh, a little less than fine.
893
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:06.159
I'm sane, yes, love unsane, High Flying Bird You and
894
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:10.360
High Flight Bird the basketball movie that was you. I
895
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:12.159
think maybe talking about some of the some of these
896
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:14.880
movies where you're like still don't get it at the
897
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:16.320
end of it. I'm like high flight Bird was like
898
00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:17.760
that for me where I had I think I maybe
899
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:19.360
said the Sun podcast before, where like I was watching
900
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.320
with my mom and dad on Netflix, Hi Paust movie
901
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.880
five minutes and say what are they talking about?
902
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:27.039
I don't understand what just throw you in there and
903
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:31.880
assuming that loves basketball, I was like, I don't. I
904
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:34.000
don't know about all this chiefs, but that's fine. Soda
905
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.000
Bird's doing AI documentaries now, it's fine.
906
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:38.360
Yeah, that's a that's a fucking.
907
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:44.960
Bummer learning that you're well. Has Fincher used AI? I mean, yes,
908
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:47.039
unfortunately he has.
909
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.719
I think I think, yeah, Vich pray our friend like
910
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:51.719
has like something that one of our chests felt like
911
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:53.840
saying like, uh, don't ask your favorite for christ about
912
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:56.199
but you're not gonna be happy with the answers.
913
00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:59.800
I mean, I'm not surprised, but yeah with with so
914
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.039
then when he did the four K restoration of that,
915
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:04.960
there was a shot that like wasn't like the only
916
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:06.840
shot they had was like messed up or anything. It
917
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:08.880
was like with AI, I was able to I was like,
918
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:11.880
just shut up. I wouldn't even noticed, all right, dude.
919
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:16.400
And then with the Fight Club four K, I people
920
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:18.719
aren't making such a big dealifted and it was just like, yeah,
921
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:23.039
he removes some bumps from him a Bonacarta's face, when
922
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:25.679
I was just like, all right, guys, this man is
923
00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:28.679
obviously not on this plane of existence. He's very much
924
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:32.039
not here where the factory's just like, hey, that wall
925
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.159
back there, that's kind of creakled that we did like
926
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.079
twenty seven years ago. We just take that out, Like
927
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.480
really you noticed that? Yeah, I've been thinking about it
928
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:45.239
for twenty seven years. I don't care. I really don't.
929
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:48.039
And I also don't really care when filmmakers go back
930
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:50.039
and edit their own movies. I really don't fucking care.
931
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:53.239
Yeah, the editing's fine, but like using the AI stuff
932
00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:56.039
from it, for like it is just like and it's
933
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.760
the thing of like I'm seperate justification for like his hand.
934
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:01.880
It's like, well, without the I, we wouldn't have had
935
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:03.880
like a, we didn't have access to this great fudge.
936
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:06.800
It's like, well, guess what, you don't have it?
937
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:11.679
Like the rats, Yeah, what did you do for the
938
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:14.599
past like fifty years being a filmmaker. You just didn't
939
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:19.000
do it. That's that's like being like, oh, well somebody
940
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.760
passed away during filming, So without AI wouldn't be able
941
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:24.360
to finish their performance and be like no.
942
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.119
Well that is unfortunately what's happening with Vell Kilmer in
943
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.000
his latest film. But where it's like and it's like well,
944
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.119
it's like, well, that definitely would have wanted to do
945
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:34.239
this movie beforehand before he passed away.
946
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:36.679
It's and like his family like agreed with him, Like
947
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.280
I don't care what his family says.
948
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:42.360
Are their names bel Kilmer? That must be confusing.
949
00:44:42.519 -->
00:44:44.239
That would be wild if all of his kids were
950
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:48.079
named Velkilmer, like George Floeman's kids are all named George Foman.
951
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.480
Did you know that George Foeman has six sons and
952
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:53.360
every single one of them is named George.
953
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:57.519
Oh jees, that must be genuinely confusing. It's like when
954
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:00.159
movies are like get like sequel reboots. It's like what
955
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:01.840
was called the same as the first one? You know,
956
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:04.440
it's like it's like stream and scary movie and all.
957
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:07.039
That, and then the next one comes out and they're
958
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:11.280
just like stream seven, what was the previous one? I
959
00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:15.159
feel like this is a trick. What were we talking
960
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:18.760
about before we talked about Ai? Mark Collins, you think
961
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.480
he like Ai? Yeah, your name sound.
962
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:25.079
I mean it's it's just funny. I mean you texted
963
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:27.960
me afterwards after watching this movie that, like you text
964
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.199
me a bit of someone doing an Alan Rickman impression
965
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:33.920
on family guy with like his answering machine.
966
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:39.920
You've reached Alan Rickman at five five five zero one
967
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:46.239
two two, Please leave a message at the beep Hello,
968
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:49.400
Alan Rickman. It's Alan Rickman.
969
00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:51.920
And it is like the thing of like what the
970
00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:54.000
scene where he liked I don't I mean, I love
971
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:56.360
I love him and as an actor, and he's good
972
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:58.559
in necessary aything, but like there is just the moment
973
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:01.320
where he's like, I think Africa back to America, and
974
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:03.840
I think it's like after Deson's characters come back from
975
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.800
England negotiating like the t A Jervison ripers like you
976
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:11.760
Probablition the Germans Dogama, And it's just like, I don't know,
977
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:13.639
I'm meant to be laughing as hard as this as
978
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.159
I was when I was watching that, see, because it's
979
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:18.719
just like he's showing he's actually like a kid having
980
00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:21.519
a tantrum. It's like and I just I don't know.
981
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:22.760
I thought it was very funny.
982
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.440
Doesn't me works that you published to help me knowledge? Now,
983
00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:29.920
what's Rickman's best performance. You already know what I'm gonna
984
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.079
say that might
not be objectively correct.
985
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:35.280
I mean, your favorite is it actually Dogma? Is that
986
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:35.760
your favorite?
987
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:37.360
He's incredible in Dogma?
988
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.159
I remember him me pretty good at that. Yeah, I
989
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:42.159
mean basically I love him a diehard.
990
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:43.639
I mean he's a very good entirely.
991
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:46.079
What's your favorite decent? Actually that's a that's a good question.
992
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:51.360
A team? Uh fuck? Who? If you know who directed
993
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.079
the A team? I'm quitting this podcast.
994
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:56.079
Well, then I will keep my flip steels because I
995
00:46:56.840 --> 00:46:57.400
know the answer.
996
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.320
Is it like Mick g or some ship? Hold on, No,
997
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:01.000
you're not.
998
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:03.440
There? You go? Yeah?
999
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:07.559
Oh my god? That man had juice for one film.
1000
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:10.360
He drops two movies last year. If you know the
1001
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:12.480
titles of them, I'm quitting this podcast.
1002
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:14.559
One of them is Shadow for Us, so I think
1003
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.079
it's like Omar say Harry Washington, which I think we
1004
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.760
had the poster for that at my theater. And then
1005
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.400
the other one, it's the Zachary Levi and I think
1006
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:24.760
Josh to mal is it called Not Without Hope?
1007
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:28.800
I'm done? Why is that movie two hours long?
1008
00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:32.599
And then he let it rip again in January of
1009
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:36.639
this year, he has a dude, would you have a
1010
00:47:36.679 --> 00:47:37.960
new movie after the rip?
1011
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.880
No? But the rip is that still that's three movies
1012
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.079
in one year is to paraphrase a young though quote,
1013
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:47.239
calm down, dropping all that bullshit movie.
1014
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:52.519
My question with this is like, how how close together
1015
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:55.039
are those movies shot together? Is it like he shot
1016
00:47:55.079 --> 00:48:00.599
them all really close together or was like one of them.
1017
00:47:58.800 --> 00:47:59.599
All in one month?
1018
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.239
Well, but I'm also like to get about, like there
1019
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:03.840
are some movies that like sit on the shelf for
1020
00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:05.519
like many years, Like it was really funny. I saw
1021
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.159
there was I don't even rem what the movie's called,
1022
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:10.280
but I saw there's like some trailer for a Michael
1023
00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:13.199
Pitt movie, and
I was like, and it's like Michael
1024
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.400
Pitt and Jeremy Allen White. And I was thinking, like,
1025
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:18.280
Jeremy Allen White made a movie now and I looked
1026
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:20.440
it up. It's like Shutting Shells the twelve be released now.
1027
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.039
It's like, oh, that makes more sense. It's like it's
1028
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.199
like just one because Jerremalend like would not be taking
1029
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:27.280
that small role now, I don't think. And also they
1030
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:29.199
would not be giving Michael Pitt that big role now.
1031
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.760
I don't think that would be very funny if they
1032
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:33.800
had a movie like a right around the Dreamer's time
1033
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:37.800
and they're just like, oh, I'll just put it out now. Wow,
1034
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:43.840
twenty twelve, that's insane. I mean that is also top tier. Like, hey,
1035
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:45.880
this movie that everybody said it sucked and it's been
1036
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:48.079
on a show forever. We'd be like, yeah, that one
1037
00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:50.000
guy that's in the show now, isn't it. So we're
1038
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.119
just gonna put it out and pretend he's the lead,
1039
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:53.920
which they used to do like all the time back
1040
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.119
in the day. We were like, hey, yeah, the name
1041
00:48:57.159 --> 00:48:58.800
out of it is Sandra Bullock. She's in it for
1042
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.119
like thirty seconds. Just put her on the cover. Who cares?
1043
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:03.159
Once we've got their money, what are they gonna do?
1044
00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:06.679
What are they gonna do? How about fuck? Oh? Oh
1045
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:11.280
favorite Nissan? Okay, have you seen all three Taken films?
1046
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:14.960
Yes, although my memory is fuzzy on like the second
1047
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:16.199
and third one.
1048
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.280
As it should be. Oh, he's in a movie this year,
1049
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:20.199
Cold Storage.
1050
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:22.400
I've heard that one. Okay, it's David Capp I think
1051
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:23.039
who wrote it.
1052
00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:26.920
I have an answer, but I'm gonna double check before
1053
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:31.639
saying it, just in case. Oh yeah, Widows one.
1054
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:35.039
That's a good pick. I remember the scene of him
1055
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.199
getting shot again that movie being memed a bunch when
1056
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:41.280
I is, uh cool pursuit press Star was going on.
1057
00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:45.119
Oh yeah, I would say that. Or Naked a Gun
1058
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:45.639
is great.
1059
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:47.840
Oh he's so good at naked guy. Yeah.
1060
00:49:47.880
--> 00:49:49.960
But like also Widows is like, if you're saying, like
1061
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:51.800
a leam Nissan movie, I'd be like, well, like, he
1062
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:55.000
spends two hours of it being dead, so not exactly
1063
00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:58.840
his movie. Oh there's definitely somebody out there they're favoritely
1064
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:01.119
Nissan movie is a Million Ways to Dine in the West.
1065
00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:04.559
That's just okay. Uh, I'll go I'll go with Naked
1066
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:07.360
Gun as far as like he's on the poster you're
1067
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:09.480
seeing it, because a Nissan type of movie.
1068
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:12.000
Yeah, that's a good pick. I might go dark Man.
1069
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:14.079
That's one of my favorites. At least I think he's
1070
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.800
like he really like throws himself into like making the
1071
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:19.400
tragedy of that movie plays since here, but also like
1072
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:22.159
throwing himself into like the the wackier parts of that movie,
1073
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:24.519
like they're techno fucking elephants.
1074
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:28.440
I'm I'm gonna just name off random movies and just
1075
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.199
be impressed. At how much you know Ice Road Vengeance?
1076
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:32.440
Who directs that?
1077
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:33.119
Is it?
1078
00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.199
Jonathan Hensley? Still Jesus Christ, I saw the first one.
1079
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:40.639
Oh it's a Oh it's a sequel. Oh oh Jonathan Hinckley,
1080
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:43.039
who directed The Punisher. Listen to our episode you go.
1081
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:44.960
I probably talked about it on that episode.
1082
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:49.199
No, it's real, guys, I swear uh killed the Irishman
1083
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:53.639
and Welcome to the Jungle. Wow? Just is he an actor?
1084
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:55.559
He looks like an actor. He's not an actor.
1085
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:57.480
Wow? No, I think he's like a screare. Didn't you
1086
00:50:57.559 --> 00:50:59.519
like write like Diehard with a Vengeance, that's like one
1087
00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:02.679
of the He either like did like the touch up
1088
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:04.400
on that or like maybe it was like his script
1089
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:06.280
that got turned into the Diehard sequel.
1090
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:09.400
He wrote a lot on Young Indiana Jones. We are
1091
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.159
so far away from macolm Collin's Young Indiana Jones. He
1092
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:18.239
wrote next, Oh, Boring the Rock or Megadn, die Hard
1093
00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:20.119
with a Vengeance and Jumanji.
1094
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.280
So like, there's some good stuff and then a lot
1095
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:23.199
of crap.
1096
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:28.360
And then the Saint. Oh wow, something called a Far
1097
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:31.239
Off Place starring Reese with Thisspoon. I've never heard of this.
1098
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:36.760
Reese with thispoon ethan Imbrey, two strangers must discover courage
1099
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:39.199
and strength when they begin a journey across the treacherous
1100
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:43.239
African African desert explanation point easy letterbox. Back in the
1101
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.400
eighties and nineties, they were just like, so we got
1102
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:49.400
this white person, right, what if they were in Africa?
1103
00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:53.159
Like they were just like, what else? No? No, that's it?
1104
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:58.079
What's the uh Sigourney Weaver? Uh girl is in the mist?
1105
00:51:58.519 --> 00:51:59.360
Is that in Africa?
1106
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:01.960
I don't know. I just know that's a movie that
1107
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:03.559
she gotten I'm made for? Right did she went?
1108
00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:06.920
But very much like put a white person in over
1109
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:10.360
there and uh, it'll be a lot. But I'm pretty
1110
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:13.000
sure the last gasp of that is jungle to jungle.
1111
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:18.400
Speaking of just like types of movies that that you
1112
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:20.920
used to just get made a bunch. I think I
1113
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.039
mentioned this. I want to mention this on Mike because
1114
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:24.920
I mentioned to you in the in the the in
1115
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:28.000
our little text that we have going on. But how
1116
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:31.000
before I knew what this movie was, I just saw
1117
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:34.239
like the poster where it's leam Neeson standing above a
1118
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:36.280
bunch of people and people like hands are like reaching
1119
00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:39.559
out at him, and I guess not maybe before. I
1120
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:41.679
don't remember exactly why I fault what this movie was
1121
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:43.519
about and anything, but like I was thinking, it looks
1122
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:45.199
like it does very much have the look of a
1123
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:48.000
teacher that changed my life type movie, and I was
1124
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:50.880
dead Poets, Dead Posts, any and then I was thinking,
1125
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:53.320
what's the specific poster that I'm thinking of that gives
1126
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:54.800
this vibe? And it's a movie that came after this,
1127
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:57.000
but I just looked up the poster of The Emperor's
1128
00:52:57.039 --> 00:52:58.480
Club with Kevin Klinet aborting.
1129
00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:00.840
It's one that is in this movie.
1130
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:03.079
Yeah, and stand in the backup a costume a bunch
1131
00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:04.559
of Hinds race and it's like, hey, there you go.
1132
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:07.639
Math checks out, my man, I got my Kevin's mixed up.
1133
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:10.920
Kevin Costner was almost in this movie. That's right. Gorilla
1134
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:13.159
is in the myst Yes, that's said in Africa. Okay,
1135
00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:17.159
uh yeah. It starts with the Out of Africa and
1136
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:19.599
they were just like, well that one's best picture. Stick
1137
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:21.760
more white people in Africa. And then once they get
1138
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:24.400
to Jungle to Jungle, they're like, enough, if you're bringing
1139
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:26.280
back Tim Allen, he has to get his ass kicked
1140
00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:27.880
in front of his daughter and then he has to
1141
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:31.000
learn to fight. It's called Joe somebody, and it made thousands.
1142
00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:36.480
I will just say I enjoyed this movie generally pretty well,
1143
00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:38.760
and I did find it pretty engaging, even if some
1144
00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:42.360
of it feels like a little too hectically paced in
1145
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:45.079
some parts, which that's surprising because I was expecting this
1146
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:46.960
to be kind of like just as dodgy history lesson
1147
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:48.559
as we were talking about, Like, I did find this
1148
00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:51.039
movie pretty engaging on a moment a moment basical because
1149
00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:54.360
there is a lot of incident in drama, but some
1150
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:55.840
of it is just like it does kind of just
1151
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:58.559
like Hurtle through it and like kind of in sometimes
1152
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:00.960
graceless ways, gless it's a little too harsh and everything,
1153
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:02.360
but it's just sometimes this it can be a little
1154
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:05.800
bit herky jerkey. But I like all the performances because
1155
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:07.840
it's lovely to look at. And yeah, I just I
1156
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.519
found it much more engaging than I expected it to be.
1157
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:13.159
And I do think, you know, even though contrary, even
1158
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.199
though I was growing up, that producer quote about how
1159
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:16.599
like it is they didn't want to make a drive movie,
1160
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:20.000
and you know, I didn't necessarily have that that that
1161
00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:23.079
reaction of from everybody I I did find this much
1162
00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:26.119
more exciting than I expected it to be, and like, yeah,
1163
00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:28.960
I know I cared about the characters and yeah, no,
1164
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:30.880
it was just and it's just that that's the kind
1165
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:32.599
of nice thing where it's like this isn't like gonna
1166
00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:33.960
be like a new favorite movie or anything, but it's
1167
00:54:33.960 --> 00:54:35.639
a nice thing of like I did not have this
1168
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:38.360
even watch listed. I don't think even like, as I
1169
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.199
was going through Neodorman's photography, I was just like, ah, man,
1170
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:43.639
I just skip this one. I think I need to
1171
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:48.079
I need to go see about a good thief. But
1172
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:49.760
but I watched it and it's like, hey, this is
1173
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.320
actually I did find this kind of compelling that sometimes
1174
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:54.320
it's like the nice little discovery of doing this podcast.
1175
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:56.280
I would say, you ever heard of the movie The
1176
00:54:56.360 --> 00:54:57.039
Air Up There?
1177
00:54:58.920 --> 00:54:59.519
What is that.
1178
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:06.039
Kevin Bacon movie where he plays Jimmy Dolan. He's a
1179
00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:08.960
college basketball coach who wants a big promotion. To get it,
1180
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:11.559
he needs to make a dramatic fine. He ends up
1181
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:15.360
deep in Africa hoping to recruit a huge basketball prodigy.
1182
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:19.440
The only person I follow that has seen it and
1183
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:23.360
logged it is like Gavin who gave it one store
1184
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:25.159
and says, well, glad we can all look back on
1185
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:29.239
this and officially say it's pretty racist. So I'm just
1186
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:32.360
I'm just trying to I'm I'm I'm creating a team
1187
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:34.519
and it's all white people go to Africa.
1188
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:37.280
But this is like, it's I love that we're like
1189
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:39.920
we're getting into like this stuff of like just stuff
1190
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:41.840
that we do on our own time. It's like making
1191
00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:44.800
a list and of all these movies that no one
1192
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:47.360
has heard of. It's just for me. Like I was
1193
00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:50.400
making my list of like movies about contemporary teenagers by
1194
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:54.920
old people, and now it's like movies about white guys
1195
00:55:54.960 --> 00:56:00.519
in Africa. It's just that it's like a Rhapsode reps
1196
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:03.000
in the program or whatever. This is.
1197
00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:05.199
This is an only list of a list that I
1198
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:08.039
liked called Movies You Forgot Exists Nineties Edition, which has
1199
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:09.480
nine hundred movies on it.
1200
00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:13.880
And it's like, well, I think I think one thing
1201
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:15.719
wrong with this title. I definitely didn't forget about the
1202
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:16.800
exists in this movie.
1203
00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:19.440
I definitely forgot about it until I was like, why
1204
00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:21.599
to Africa White? I forgot the air they are up there?
1205
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:26.800
That's right? Uh wow, interesting? Interesting. We are spinning our
1206
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:27.880
Wheels anything else.
1207
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:33.760
No, I mean, it's just interesting to think about. I
1208
00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:35.920
don't I don't know. It's just funny that Jordan is
1209
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:38.039
like the director who gets like who shows up the
1210
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:40.960
most in this mini series, Like Geffen really like helped
1211
00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:43.599
them alone with it, with like Greeny lighting these projects,
1212
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:46.280
and it's just uh and whenever you think about their quality,
1213
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:48.000
it's just it's just kind of a cool thing that happened.
1214
00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:50.679
They got to make them make these moviesit these at
1215
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:54.079
this scale and to have like some interesting style of them.
1216
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:55.360
I mean, like we talked abou this with like Butcher
1217
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:56.960
Boy about like how I know you and Dan were
1218
00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:58.280
not really big on that movie, but it's just like
1219
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:00.000
while that that movie got made and then it would
1220
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:03.599
allowed to be made the way that it was. Yeah,
1221
00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:06.239
and it was like a big studio making it. Yeah,
1222
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:08.880
I know it's interesting. And I mean, look, I mean
1223
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:11.519
he's he's a director like I can run hot and cold.
1224
00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:14.800
But I'm glad to be going through his his films,
1225
00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:17.760
especially because I think Irish books are and Irishers are interesting.
