1
Halloween 2, Deborah Hill and John Carpenter do the cheapest thing just to throw a little whammy in the movie,
2
and they make it that Laurie and Michael Myers are brother and sister.
3
And that taints every single Halloween sequel that happens afterwards, because he's not her brother.
4
She's not his sister.
5
That's just bullshit.
6
That literally was them coming up with a stupid idea at the last minute.
7
Yeah, but it's the cheapest thing.
8
Nobody was coming from that point of view when they were making the first one.
9
And what makes the first one so good is the fact
10
that you don't know what it is that makes Michael Myers go, her!
11
Yeah.
12
It's not a sister thing.
13
Piranha, directed by Joe Dante and written by John Sayles.
14
I only have two problems with the whole movie.
15
One problem that you have about the way the piranhas get loose in the ocean is, you know, it's not elegant.
16
Into the river.
17
Yeah, yeah, in the river, yeah.
18
In the river.
19
It's not elegant.
20
It doesn't serve our heroin.
21
It doesn't, they could have done better.
22
Oh, hey, what's this?
23
Okay, they could have done better.
24
Hey, what's this wheel?
25
Let's turn it.
26
Woody Allen's Anything Else.
27
That's the Jason Diggs one.
28
But the only, like, you know, but like the person I had watched the most, because it's one of the things I'm really anal about,
29
is I have people make references, and it just kills me when I know people don't know what they're talking about.
30
How do you mean?
31
Well, what I mean is, it's like, you know, I can, you know, well, okay, I'll give you a big example.
32
Okay.
33
Yeah, you got that.
34
Okay.
35
It's like when you're watching a Woody Allen movie and Juliette Lewis
36
and Jimmy Fallon are sitting there talking and they're talking about Lena Riefenstahl and Triumph of Will
37
and the White Hill of Pizu Pizu
38
and they're talking about Gertrude Stein's second lover and we know they don't know what they're talking about.
39
and the fact
40
that like it not only is Jimmy Fallon you randomly having a conversation about Lena Riefenstahl
41
but he's actually written a monograph that is about Lena Riefenstahl in Vanity Fair in the movie and I know
42
Jimmy Fallon doesn't know who Lena Riefenstahl is.
43
I don't really care for natural -born killers I don't really recognize it as as what I wrote.
44
In fact it was funny I didn't see this
45
but I was like my got the friends of mine at the video store
46
you know they'd read the script for two years before it was ever yes and then
47
And then they're like, oh my God, Quentin, there's this whole scene in the movie where Mickey is fucking Mallory.
48
And then he looks at a female victim who's tied up in the corner and he starts fantasizing about her.
49
And they go, Mickey would never do that.
50
Mallory would never cheat.
51
Mickey would.
52
I mean, the point of the thing is they unnaturally live for each other at the expense of everybody else on the planet Earth.
53
Something Wild was always that kind of like movie for me, like when I saw it
54
and i remember i took a buddy of mine who wasn't part of the video archives group he was like uh
55
uh he was a writer and you know it kind of had had a harder life
56
and i took him to go see it
57
and he's really enjoying it he pointed out something amiss about the movie
58
and he told me about it and i knew it was right
59
but i immediately dismissed it because i didn't want anything to ruin the film
60
and i i did was able to dismiss it i watched it again in 2017.
61
I hadn't seen it in a long time and I watched it again
62
and when the scene happens it completely took me out of the movie.
63
Okay so here's the scene.
64
It's when he goes and has this confrontation with with Ray Liotta in the coffee shop with Melanie Griffith there.
65
Now there's a lot of things going on in here.
66
He wants to take on Ray Liotta.
67
He wants to get Melanie Griffith away from Ray Liotta but he wants her to see him standing up to the guy.
68
He wants her to see him save her and work it all out so it's going on now we know
69
Ray Liot is not a joke this is a dangerous cat man
70
and you know you're playing with fire here then cops come into the diner
71
and sit in the booth behind them it's like well tell the fucking cops I mean she's practically kidnapped
72
but even if maybe
73
that might not work out as well in her eyes all right as far as getting her away
74
but if this guy is as dangerous as he proves to be
75
and as we think he already is
76
and as he should know he is just tell the cops
77
he witnessed an entire robbery they brutalized the asian kid
78
you know he pistol whipped the asian kid in in the store
79
he has enough to get ray liotta arrested right then
80
and there okay well why it's there is for a comedy moment
81
that he can't really do anything
82
because the cops are there he can't just punch jeff daniels all right
83
because the cops are there
84
and then jeff downs was like hey officers how you doing you know
85
so there's a so there's a joke and that always got a laugh
86
but my friend who was street was watching the movie why isn't
87
he just telling the cops i mean he witnessed an entire robbery they're looking for
88
that robber that kid is in the hospital with a purple face anyway it's just like i couldn't get past it
89
It was a big flaw.
90
It was a big story flaw.
91
It wasn't then.
92
It wasn't then.
93
No, it definitely dimmed for me, but that doesn't matter.
94
What really matters was how exuberant I thought it was at the time when I needed exuberance.
95
I really got a kick out of it.
96
Oh, yeah.
97
Yeah, I thought it was really good.
98
Me and Paul have talked about this, though.
99
I mean, I actually think there's a slight flaw in Boogie Nights.
100
And the flaw in Boogie Nights is the perception of the Burt Reynolds character.
101
And what I mean by that is this.
102
Paul can say he's not based on the director Gerard Damiano, who directed Devil and Mrs. Jones and Deep Throat.
103
He is.
104
He obviously is.
105
He looks exactly like him.
106
And Gerard Damiano has a very unique look.
107
So you have to actually make him, Burt Reynolds doesn't look like that.
108
So you actually have to go out of your way to make him look like Gerard Damiano with the gray and black
109
Van Dyke that he wore and the kind of wavy gray hair that he wore.
110
That's not Burt Reynolds' look.
111
That is Gerard Damiano's look.
112
So he went out of his way to make the guy look like his exact double.
113
So you can't say, I didn't mean to be that guy.
114
Yes, he did.
115
Here's my problem with the film though.
116
Yes, I do think it's honest about being a filmmaker
117
but my problem with it though is
118
when he makes the cop movie the porno cop movie
119
and he's killing himself doing it
120
and then you see the film the film looks like a piece of shit
121
it looks horrible now i've seen i believe me i i've seen more porno movies than paul have
122
because i worked at the porno theater all right
123
and i saw a lot of movies crappy like that but he has the Burt Reynolds' character say,
124
I think, you know, he says it in the full -on, moving the close -up in him, I think this is my greatest work yet.
125
This is the best work we've ever done.
126
I think this is my finest work yet.
127
Gerard Damiano was a better director than that.
128
Gerard Damiano's better footage looked drastically better than that cop crap.
129
Yes, exactly.
130
Gerard Damiano was a good enough filmmaker to know the difference between, oh, wow, this is the best movie I've ever done.
131
And no, this one has a little bit of a story, but we still shot it on 16 millimeter,
132
you know, in crappy daylight with no light.
133
And, you know, and it looks like what it looks like.
134
Burt Reynolds suggests that he's more of a director than that, that he would know the difference.
135
Gerard Damiano definitely would know the difference.
136
And he's playing Gerard Damiano.
137
So I think it's a cheap line because that character would know
138
that that work is not the best work he could possibly do.
139
Yeah, you can definitely lose perspective, but you don't think some piece of junk that you did is the best work you've ever going to do.
140
The movie is called Delirium.
141
The thing about Delirium that is absolutely positively ridiculous is the entire story you hear about him the night before,
142
because you just see him as a raving lunatic that every woman he sees, he kills.
143
But apparently the night before, he's like vibing with a girl and they're really hitting it off.
144
He's partying with her and her roommate.
145
Who the fuck is that guy?
146
It never mentions what set him off to such a degree that now he's just a terminator on kill.
147
You using the Silence of the Lambs example, that sequence is magnificent.
148
I will push back on one aspect of it done
149
i've seen some movies before i did not think jodie foster was going to die at
150
that point in the movie i would have been i would have been surprised
151
if it ended with buffalo bill killing jodie foster no i've seen too many movies to think
152
that that was actually going to happen i was caught up in the moment
153
but i still have a movie brand going on are you saying are you saying
154
that it would be a better film
155
if the film ended with buffalo bill wearing jodie foster no no no no
156
i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm using it i'm using it to go back to once my time in in hollywood
157
because one of the reasons that that scene works so effectively is because cliff could die.
158
Narratively, movie -wise, in every way, shape, and form.
159
He could die in that sequence.
160
Put that down.
161
What's going on here?
162
What are you doing?
163
What are you doing?
164
Can you not talk to me? Are you...
165
So you know she's not just a guy from around here.
166
You're actually a paparazzi guy.
167
But if that was off, I'd be whipping your ass up and down.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
