We talked about in this film
I actually saw in 60 mm or maybe I saw
them in 1970 and then a lower half of
the governor feature because you know
movies but we could hang around for a
year in the theaters back so like in the
example in the case of the wrecking crew
I sit and it was actually interesting I
remember I also knew that Dean Martin
was already a fan of Dean Martin and
Jerry Lewis me and he was just the
biggest celebrities in the world but I
saw my parents took me to see it and I
was completely taken with sheriff Tate
in that movie if you've ever seen the
movie she gives a very funny performance
he plays his kind of klutzy secret
agents and she it was a she had she had
a gift as a late comedian that was
actually pretty good it was even fun fun
watching her kind of execute these
platforms and execute this kind of
slapstick comedy as a six year old loves
bucks house the comp it's probably your
favorite thing in the world or is so to
see this cute girl actually just stumble
and fall and trip and fall into mud doll
was never kind kind of lose her a
problem it was completely charming I was
totally taken with her and Mooney
actually ends with a great the whole
movie that yeah yeah it brought the
house down I'm telling you I remember
sitting in the Garfield theater in San
Gabriel and it brought backup in Houston
and I also did I think it was part of
the inspiration for me writing it's kind
of the scene with Margo that I actually
did exactly what what Sharon does in the
movie when the film was out
oddly enough
was that had a patio similar to the
broom and so I liked her so much that
wounds me my parents walked out of here
I went to the poster to look to see who
that was
and I looked at the lobby cards and they
were the same lobby cards I use and I'm
like who is this Carlson you know I'm
gonna go the sharing tape oh okay cool
you know she's a Nellie the doll and I
see but I don't buy a new mother to
assign a member reaandtim and so yeah I
think the wrecking crew is an ass night
movie really silly now I'm actually a
huge fan of the director of though
Carl's I just don't like that movie that
much I think it's silly but she's just
as charming and just as terrific as as
she ever was and I'm also really as I
always thought but even I even like the
idea that we show the clip of the movie
is in itself so I like seeing Sharon
Tate and Nancy Kwan omikuji Nancy Kwan
fans who to just pop up in the middle of
the movie and have a fight scene
choreographed by Bruce Lee I think
that's just a really lovely many I think
it's a combination of it's an
interesting subject matter it's
different
no weather movie coming out this year
that kind of deals with anything like
that so it has the benefit of being
unique and I think people are really
excited to see these actors in the film
but also I think when they did a good
job selling it I think it looks like an
entertaining movie would be a fun way to
spend any so and then the reviews is
kind of backed that up to some degree so
frankly I think it's a combination of
the subject matter of the actors and I'd
really think we did a good job sighs I'm
a fan of genre movies in general and on
the fan of you know I think what you
guys referred to in America has be movie
genre films as well I've always loved
the the Italians take on genre whether
it's spaghetti westerns from Mecca
Varney combat
these are Jacko films or Peppa Peppa
ones as much of the other stuff all
right but be Italian sex comedies I
think things and one of the things about
particularly the Spaghetti Westerns is
and not a say the cellos are the same
thing and the policías are the same
thing was they they all started off you
know none of the policías were bathed
you know the jumping-off point for them
was French Connection and dirty errors
and they were jumping off point of the
spaghetti western where a lot of a lot
of the westerns of the 50s but American
westerns of the 50s but then the thing
is the Italians reinvented them and just
the idea of taking all genres and
reinventing them for it in a new way for
a new type of audience with a different
emphasis I just love I mean I just love
if you can pull it off I just think it's
fantastic it's a way to have new eyes
into a genre and also in particularly in
the case of spaghetti westerns those
directors the Leone and cappucci and
Sola ma and dusty Otis IRA and all those
guys you know almost all of them started
off as movie critics and then work their
way into screenwriters and then work
their way into second unit they were
like you know they were the guys you
hired to deliver the action and and they
were absolutely just a passionate and
justice in love with cinema as the
French New Wave who started off as
critics and so they're cozy Azzam for
the genre is just so just just delicious
another way to say it but also the last
thing and to me it's the thing that
makes them Italian as opposed to just
somebody else for looking at it in
different ways there's a commitment to
opera and the way they present it's
bigger it's larger than life and now we
were dealing with the scores of the day
well that's really highlighted but I
love the operatic quality of it I like
the larger-than-life
phaser realism when I first discovered
it's behind me after seeing them for the
first book I ever read about spaghetti
westerns was around late 79 and there
was a book out of England and it was
called Spaghetti Westerns the opera of
violence and I think I've been trying to
do the opera of violence man chapter me
me me some is so different from what it
was in the nineties when I started there
it's just even go back to 1969 if you
don't know where to start honey I will
say one thing there's so many things
whenever I'm asked a question that
somebody thinks in my mind I usually
just read the first thing that popped
into my mind and it's a little based on
what Marco said is you know back in in
those I guess you'd call those of the
old days but even in the 90s even into
the 2000s people committed to building
sets it wasn't just gonna be added later
I mean I think you watch a canon movie
are they
Toby Cooper's life force magnificent
warehouse sets where they create these
wholly new worlds but like I watched us
I never seen when it came out I watched
my Renny Harlin's cutthroat island and
actually it was a pretty good movie but
like in today's world it's a fantastic
movie they built this entire thing than
they actually this entire village of and
did these incredible carriage action
sequences that they just have to commit
to doing no CGI involved I mean it cost
a fortune and it's all on the screen and
now even the big-budget movies don't got
time for that bullshit and idea and you
know I just think something is just
terribly long you know and there's
something terribly lost as far as
on the picture there's something
terribly lost in the movie and there's a
horrible loss when it comes to
craftsmanship and I feel that that is a
very very big dangerous bike one of my
biggest pet peeves about digital
filmmaking it's not just me being an old
old fart saying I like film better than
digital it is the fact that there's an
immense amount of craftsmanship to go to
to like film and get to get through the
different processes to capture an image
in a beautiful way it's easy to do my
digital it's even easy to do on film if
you're just only planning on going to
digital because a video gives you all
these latitudes for color time in the
air anything if you guys somebody like
Bob Richardson you're gonna capture it
so good that when it gets through three
three duplicating processes that the
film print that is eventually showing in
the theater is gold in its fans has it
well not what do people can't do that
that that's that's what separate that's
what separates the wheat from the chaff
is the people who know how to take the
film friends to get it through all the
different degradation that what's
actually showing them to screen is
sparkling and dazzle and and that's a
craftsmanship and it is don't away guys
it is going away I don't know if cinema
can I think cinema I don't know if
cinema can change history I think it can
influence history
