HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> REALLY GOOD.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS YOUR BIG 
NIGHT.
THIS IS AN EXCITING NIGHT AFTER 
ALL THE WORK YOU SHOW IT TO 
PEOPLE.
>> I AGREE.
IT'S ACTUALLY EVEN KIND OF COOL 
COMING ON THE SHOW WITH A 
TUXEDO.
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO A PREMIERE.
IT REMINDS ME OF LIKE WATCHING 
LIKE THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW WHEN I
WAS A KID AND LIKE ERNEST 
BORGNINE WOULD BE ON IN A 
TUXEDO, OH I'M GOING TO THE 
TOWERING ININFERNO PREMIERE IN 
ABOUT TWO HOURS.
OKAY, GREAT, ERNIE.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THEM, I WANT
TO GO TO THE "TOWERING INFERNO" 
PREMIERE.
>> Jimmy: NOW YOU GET TO GO.
YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US 
OUR STAFF, ME, ET CETERA, A 
SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE MOVIE ON 
FRIDAY NIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU ARE A NUT.
AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHY 
YOU'RE A NUT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR THIS.
>> Jimmy: ABOUT HALF AN HOUR 
INTO THE MOVIE I TURN AROUND AND
THERE YOU ARE SITTING BEHIND ME.
>> I DID NOT REALIZE THAT.
I FOUND THAT OUT TODAY.
I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE IN FRONT
OF ME.
>> Jimmy: YOU DIDN'T.
>> I HAD NO IDEA.
>> Jimmy: BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW 
IF YOU REMEMBER BUT WHEN "KILL 
BILL" WAS OUT -- 
>> OF COURSE I REMEMBER THAT, 
WHEN WE WALKED THROUGH THE WHOLE
AUDIENCE.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
BUT ALSO YOU WAITED IN THE LOBBY
TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T -- YOU 
WANTED TO CATCH ME IF I SNUCK 
OUT OF THE MOVIE.
AND THEN I SEE YOU BEHIND ME, 
OH, GOD, I CAN'T GO TO THE 
BATHROOM NOW.
>> RIGHT.
EXACTLY.
JIMMY, YOU'RE GOING TO THE 
BATHROOM NOW?
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENE.
YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.
>> Jimmy: EVERYONE WAS NERVOUS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN AROUND TO 
SEE IF YOU WERE STILL THERE.
BUT PEOPLE STOPPED EATING 
POPCORN BECAUSE THEY WERE 
WORRIED YOU MIGHT GET OFFENDED 
THEY WERE EATING DURING THE 
MOVIE.
AS IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE AT 
ALL.
>> IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
BUT BY THE WAY, THE THING THAT'S
KIND OF FUNNY ABOUT THAT IS YOU 
PROBABLY HEARD ME LAUGHING THE 
LOUDEST AT THE MOST 
INAPPROPRIATE MOMENTS.
>> Jimmy: DESPITE YOUR ATTEMPTS 
TO ZAKT US AND RUIN THE FILM FOR
US WE ALL LOVED THE MOVIE.
IT'S REALLY GREAT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Jimmy: AND PEOPLE WILL 
UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY SEE IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
YOU CLOSED DOWN HOLLYWOOD 
BOULEVARD.
FOR HOW MANY NIGHTS IN A ROW?
>> GOSH.
I THINK WE DID IT -- IT WAS 
ACTUALLY A SITUATION, I THINK WE
HAD IT FOR TWO NIGHTS GOING ONE 
WAY AND THEN ABOUT THREE MONTHS 
LATER TWO NIGHTS GOING THE OTHER
WAY.
>> Jimmy: AND HOW DOES IT THIS 
MAKE YOU FEEL WHEN THIS IS ONE 
OF THE MOST FAMOUS STREETS IN 
THE WORLD, YOU'RE ABLE TO SHUT 
IT DOWN FOR YOUR OWN MOVIE?
>> THAT WAS KIND OF AMAZING, 
FRANKLY, TO -- NOT ONLY -- 
SHUTTING IT DOWN, YOU KNOW, 
THAT'S ITS OWN THING.
THAT'S REALLY COOL.
BUT TO SHUT IT DOWN AND TURN IT 
BACK INTO THE HOLLYWOOD 
BOULEVARD OF MY -- LITERALLY OF 
MY 6-YEAR-OLD CHILDHOOD WHEN I 
BARELY REMEMBER BUT I REMEMBER 
IT NEVERTHELESS, AND TO CREATE 
ALL THAT AND LITERALLY JUST HAVE
IT -- THE THEATERS ARE ALL 
APPARENTLY OPENED AND BLAZING.
IT WAS KIND OF AMAZING.
AND THEN JUST THE ONE MOMENT 
THAT WAS KIND OF CRAZY, WE WERE 
SHOOTING BRAD DRIVING DOWN 
HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.
AND YOU START, YOU KNOW, 
GATHERING -- IT HAPPENS ALL 
NIGHT LONG.
BYSTANDERS WHO ARE JUST 
WATCHING.
SO THIS IS BEHIND THE BARRICADES
AND THEY'RE WATCHING THE WHOLE 
THING.
TOTALLY GREAT.
WELL, ONE OF THE BYSTANDERS WAS 
THE AQUAMAN WHO STANDS IN FRONT 
OF THE CHINESE THEATER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
NOT THE AQUAMAN FROM WHAT I 
REMEMBER BUT YOU KNOW, THE JASON
MOMOA.
SO HE'S GOT THE WHOLE HAIR GOING
ON AND THE TATTOOS.
AND HE'S STANDING THERE WITH A 
TRITON.
AND JUST STANDING THERE.
BOOM.
HE'S AQUAMAN.
ALL RIGHT?
AND WE WERE LIKE AQUAMAN'S 
WATCHING US.
AND WE WERE TRYING NOT TO LOOK 
AT HIM BUT YOU CANNOT NOT LOOK 
AT HIM.
SO I KEPT SNEAKING LOOKS TO 
AQUAMAN AS I'M DIRECTING.
>> Jimmy: IT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
BEEN WEIRD IF AQUAMAN SHOWED UP 
IN THE THING.
I ALSO LOVE THAT -- AND I DON'T 
WANT TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY.
SO I'M NERVOUS ABOUT EVEN SAYING
ANYTHING.
BUT YOU'RE -- YOU JUST HAVE YOUR
OWN VERSION OF HISTORY.
LIKE WELL, LOOK, IN YOUR VERSION
OF HISTORY HITLER GOT -- 
>> WHACKED OUT IN A MOVIE 
THEATER.
>> Jimmy: HE WAS BURNED IN A 
MOVIE THEATER.
>> AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE CAN YOU 
DO THAT?
I GO, I GUESS I CAN.
I JUST DID IT.
>> Jimmy: I DON'T THINK ANYBODY 
ELSE, THOUGH, WOULD EVER EVEN 
THINK TO CHANGE HISTORY.
AND IN THIS MOVIE THAT'S 
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, OKAY, A WAY 
TO KIND OF DEAL WITH THAT, 
INTERESTING KIND OF WAY, IS THE 
FACT THAT WHEN IT CAME TO 
"INGLORIOUS BASTERDS" AND I'M 
WRITING THE SEQUENCE AND 
EVERYTHING'S GOING RIGHT, THE 
BASTERDS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE 
THEATER AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S 
GOING TO GO GOOD.
NOW I'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT 
AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT HIT SFLER
BECAUSE I HADN'T FIGURED THAT 
OUT YET.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: WHO AMONG US HASN'T 
HAD THAT THOUGHT?
>> WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT
HITLER?
>> Jimmy: THIS GUY'S A PROBLEM.
>> BYE-BYE BIRDIE SONG.
[ APPLAUSE ]
SO THE THING IS, THOUGH, I WAS 
LIKE I DON'T WANT IT TO BE A 
DOUBLE.
THAT'S ALWAYS A BUMMER WHENEVER 
THAT HAPPENS IN A MOVIE.
I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE -- OH,
THEY SNEAK HIM OUT OF THE BACK 
AND STUFF.
SO I GO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
IT'S LIKE 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
I'M WRITING BY MYSELF.
AND THEN I FINALLY DECIDE, JUST 
KILL HIM.
ALL RIGHT?
AND SO I TOOK A PIECE OF PAPER 
AND I JUST WROTE ON IT, "JUST 
F-ING KILL HIM."
ALL RIGHT?
AND I PUT IT BY MY BEDSIDE TABLE
AND WENT TO BED.
AND THEN WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT
MORNING I FIGURED I WOULD LOOK 
AT THE PIECE OF PAPER AND 
REALIZE WAS IT A GOOD IDEA OR A 
BAD IDEA?
AFTER I HAD A NIGHT'S SLEEP AND 
I READ IT AND I GO IT'S A GREAT 
IDEA!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: AND IT WAS.
AND THIS MOVIE IS WHAT I THINK 
WE CAN SAY IS THAT LEO PLAYS A 
STAR.
>> YEAH, HE'S A STAR LIKE DURING
THE TIME OF THE LATE '50s, EARLY
'60s, HAD A TV SHOW CALLED 
"BOUNTY LAW."
HE'S A BOUNTY HUNTER IN IT.
AND IT WAS A VERY POPULAR TV 
SHOW AT THE TIME.
AND IT WAS POPULAR ENOUGH THAT 
WHEN THE SHOW WENT OFF THE AIR 
HE COULD LIKE DO MOVIES AND GO 
ON.
BUT HE DID OKAY BUT THE WHOLE 
MOVIE STAR TRANSITION FROM TV TO
MOVIES DIDN'T QUITE WORK FOR 
HIM.
AND SO NOW IT'S 1969 AND THE 
WHOLE CULTURE HAS CHANGED.
THE ENTIRE ZEITGEIST HAS 
CHANGED.
HIS ENTIRE CAREER'S BEEN RUNNING
POCKET COMBS THROUGH HIS 
POMPADOURS AND NOW IT'S ALL LONG
HAIRED ANDROGYNOUS HIPPIE TYPES.
AND NOW HE'S PLAYING BAD GUYS ON
OTHER PEOPLE'S TV SHOWS.
SO THAT'S HIS SITUATION.
SO HIS STOCK IS GOING DOWN.
NEVERTHELESS, HE LIVES NEXT DOOR
TO SHARON TATE AND ROMAN 
POLANSKI, WHOSE STOCK IS GOING 
STRAIGHT UP.
AND THEY ALMOST REPRESENT THIS 
NEW HIPPIE ERA OF HOLLYWOOD.
AND HE'S KIND OF TRAPPED ON THE 
OUTSIDE.
AND IT'S SORT OF FOLLOWING THEIR
CHARACTERS.
>> Jimmy: AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT 
HAPPENED TO SHARON TATE.
VERY SADLY.
>> AND THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT.
YEAH.
>> Jimmy: I HAVE TO SAY, I THINK
FOR GUYS OUR AGE THIS IS ABOUT 
AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
THIS IS A "MAD" MAGAZINE 
PARODYING THE SHOW THAT DIDN'T 
ACTUALLY EXIST BUT DOES EXIST IN
YOUR FILM.
AND THIS IS -- THERE'S ACTUALLY 
A FRAMED "MAD" IN THE PHOTO.
>> I HAD THE IDEA THAT "BOUNTY 
LAW" WOULD HAVE BEEN -- THEY 
WOULD HAVE DONE A PARODY OF IT 
BACK IN THE DAY, LIKE '62 OR 
SOMETHING.
>> Jimmy: SURE THEY WOULD HAVE.
>> AND I THOUGHT LET'S DO A 
COVER, LET'S DO AN ISSUE.
AND THAT WILL JUST BE ON RICK'S 
WALL.
SO THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT 
IN TOUCH WITH THE "MAD" PEOPLE.
THEY LIKED THE IDEA.
AND SO WE SAID, WELL, WOULD YOU 
DO A PARODY OF "BOUNTY LAW" FOR 
THE -- FOR YOUR MAGAZINE?
AND THEY SAID YES.
THEY LOVED THE ARTWORK AND 
EVERYTHING.
THEY DID THE PARODY.
WE SHOWED THEM ALL THE FOOTAGE 
WE HAD FROM "BOUNTY LAW."
I EXPLAINED IT TO THEM.
THEY DID THE PARODY.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY.
AS YOU SAID, AS A PERSON WHO 
GREW UP WITH "MAD," AS A PERSON 
WHO GREW UP WITH "MAD," I CAME 
UP WITH THE TITLE.
"LOUSY LAW."
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I WAS GOING TO SAY, 
IT'S PERFECT.
ALL YOU NEED IS A -- 
>> TO ACTUALLY BE THE TAERKT OF 
WHAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THE COVER
BUT TO ACTUALLY NAME MY OWN 
"MADD" PARODY, FORGET THE OSCAR,
THIS IS MY OSCAR.
THIS IS MY IRVING THALBERG 
AWARD.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: QUENTIN TARANTINO IS 
HERE.
THE MOVIE'S "ONCE UPON A TIME IN
HOLLYWOOD."
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>>> THIS AIN'T AN ANDY 
McLAUGHLIN PICTURE.
AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE A 
BUNCH OF GUYS THAT SMOKE 
CIGARETTES AND TALK TO EACH 
OTHER ALL DAY ON THE CHANCE THAT
I MIGHT USE THEM.
>> I'VE GOT A FOUR-MAN TEAM 
HERE, RICK.
I NEED MORE THAN THAT I'VE GOT 
TO GET IT APPROVED.
AND I'VE GOT TO LOOK AFTER MY --
>> AND IF YOUR DUDES WERE A 
BETTER MATCH FOR ME I'D SAY 
OKAY, YOU GOT ME.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE AND YOU 
KNOW IT.
HE'S A GREAT MATCH FOR ME.
>> YEAH.
>> HEY, YOU COULD DO ANYTHING 
YOU WANT TO HIM.
THROW HIM OFF A BUILDING, RIGHT?
LIGHT HIM ON FIRE.
HIT HIM WITH A LINCOLN.
RIGHT?
GET CREATIVE.
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
HE'S JUST HAPPY FOR THE 
OPPORTUNITY.
>> THAT IS KURT RUSSELL AND 
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO IN "ONCE UPON 
A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD."
IT OPENS ON FRIDAY.
BOY, IS THERE ANY -- YOU'VE GOT 
SO MANY GREAT STARS.
I MENTIONED THE FOLKS THAT WERE 
HERE EARLIER.
AL PACINO IS IN THE MOVIE.
LUKE PERRY'S IN THE MOVIE.
AND HE WAS TERRIFIC IN THE 
MOVIE.
>> HE'S FANTASTIC IN THE FILM.
YEAH.
TIMOTHY OLIPHANT.
LENA DUNHAM.
>> Jimmy: LENA DUNHAM HAD A PART
IN THE MOVIE.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT SAYS NO 
WHEN YOU ASK THEM?
HAS IT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?
>> IT HAS HAPPENED.
IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON LIKE THEIR 
SCHEDULE.
ARE THEY AVAILABLE?
I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVEN'T HAD
TOO MANY PEOPLE SAY NO, I DON'T 
LIKE THE SCRIPT, NO, I DON'T 
THINK THE PART IS RIGHT FOR ME.
I HAVEN'T HAD THAT HAPPEN IN A 
LITTLE BIT.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S A LOVELY LUXURY TO HAVE, 
ISN'T IT?
>> I ONLY ASK PEOPLE I THINK ARE
GOING TO SAY YES, THOUGH.
>> Jimmy: WELL, YEAH, WHY NOT?
WITH THIS MOVIE DID YOU SHOW THE
ACTORS -- I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU 
LIKE TO SIT AN ACTOR DOWN AND 
SAY I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS 
MOVIE OR LET'S WATCH THESE 
MOVIES TOGETHER.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A FILM SCHOOL 
KIND OF SITUATION.
>> OH, YEAH, NO -- 
>> Jimmy: DID YOU DO THAT WITH 
THIS ONE?
>> ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO 
THE ERA, 1969, I SHOWED HIM -- 
WE SHOWED THE CREW MOVIES LIKE 
"MODEL SHOP" OR "BOB AND CAROL 
TED AND ALICE."
IT WAS REALLY COOL.
"EASY RIDER."
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS 
REALLY FUN THAT ENDED UP BEING A
CRAZY COINCIDENCE WAS BRAD HAD 
ALREADY READ THE SCRIPT A COUPLE
OF TIMES AND HE WAS COMING OVER 
TO MY HOUSE JUST FOR US TO SPEND
THE NIGHT TOGETHER AND TALK 
ABOUT THE CHARACTER.
AND SO HE SHOWS US AND I'M 
THINKING THAT -- I'M THINKING 
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW
HIM THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING
AVENUE OF DISCUSSION.
I HAVE A FILM PRINT READY TO GO 
WHEN HE GETS HERE, WE'LL GET 
AROUND TO THAT.
SO HE SHOWS UP AND HE'S GOT A 
DVD THAT HE WANTS TO WATCH.
AND SO HE BRINGS OUT A DVD OF 
THE MOVIE "BILLY JACK."
>> Jimmy: YES.
>> AND HE WAS LIKE -- YOU KNOW, 
I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING IN TOM
McLAUGHLIN'S PERFORMANCE IN HERE
THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR 
CLIFF.
I THINK THAT COULD BE AN 
INTERESTING JUMPING OFF POINT.
I THOUGHT WE COULD WATCH IT 
TOGETHER.
AND HE'S GOT THIS DVD OF "BILLY 
JACK."
I GO, BRAD, I HAVE A 
35-MILLIMETER PRINT OF "BILLY 
JACK" CUED UP ON MY PROJECTOR TO
SHOW YOU TONIGHT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: WELL, THAT'S -- YOU'RE
ON THE SAME PAGE I GUESS.
>> ABSOLUTELY ON THE SAME PAGE.
AND IT WASN'T THAT THE CHARACTER
WAS LIKE BILLY JACK.
IT WAS THAT YOU COULD IMAGINE 
TOM LOUGHLIN PLAYING THIS 
CHARACTER.
SO WE WANTED TO LOOK AT IT FROM 
THAT PERSPECTIVE.
>> Jimmy: IS THIS REALLY GOING 
TO BE YOUR SECOND TO LAST MOVIE?
YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO DO ONE 
MORE AND THAT'S IT?
>> THAT'S THE IDEA.
I MEAN -- 
>> Jimmy: WHOSE IDEA IS THIS?
>> MY IDEA.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS A BAD IDEA.
>> WELL, I'M NOT SAYING I'LL 
JUST DISAPPEAR LIKE J.D. 
SALINGER.
I'LL BE A WRITER -- 
>> Jimmy: WHAT, YOU'LL PLAY 
GOLF?
>> WELL, I HAVEN'T BEEN MARRIED.
I HAVEN'T HAD KIDS.
I JUST GOT MARRIED.
I WANT TO HAVE KIDS.
YOU KNOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
>> DOING A TV THING COULD BE 
REALLY KIND OF COOL.
BUT I KIND OF LIKE THE IDEA OF 
MAKING TEN MOTION PICTURES AND 
THEN BOOM, THAT'S IT, THAT'S 
DONE, THE FILMOGRAPHY IS LOCKED 
AND THERE YOU GO.
>> Jimmy: 12 WOULD BE GOOD TOO.
OR 13 OR EVEN 15 IS A NICE 
NUMBER.
>> WELL, YOU'RE KIND OF TALKING 
ME INTO IT.
>> Jimmy: IS "STAR TREK" A MOVIE
YOU'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT 
MAKING?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> HELLO, GORGEOUS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND.
ARE YOU CUTTING THROUGH AGAIN?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> NO.
ACTUALLY, I JUST WANTED TO 
INVITE THE WHOLE AUDIENCE TO 
COME SEE "ONCE UPON A TIME IN 
HOLLYWOOD."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I WILL SAY THAT'S VERY
SWEET.
BUT LEO ALREADY INVITED THEM TO 
SEE IT.
>> HE DID?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, WHEN HE 
WAS CUTTING THROUGH.
>> OH, OKAY.
>> Jimmy: AND WE WOULD LOVE TO 
COME, BY THE WAY.
WE ALL DECIDED WE'D LIKE TO 
COME.
>> I'M SORRY.
IT'S JUST WE JUST HAVE ROOM FOR 
THE AUDIENCE.
TICKETS ARE REALLY LIKE -- 
>> Jimmy: THERE'S ONLY ONE -- 
I'M ONLY ONE PERSON.
>> YEAH, BUT YOU GET IT.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> GUILLERMO.
DO YOU WANT TO COME TO THE 
MOVIE?
>> Guillermo: I WOULD LOVE TO 
COME, YES.
>> Jimmy: I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU
HAD NO ROOM FOR ANYBODY BUT THE 
AUDIENCE.
>> YEAH.
BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE SPACE
FOR GUILLERMO.
>> Jimmy: WELL, THAT MAKES 
SENSE.
WELL, YOU GUYS ALL HAVE FUN.
ARE YOU TAKING OFF TOO?
>> I'M TAKING OFF.
>> Jimmy: MARGOT ROBBIE AND 
GUILLERMO.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.
IT OPENS FRIDAY.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH KEITH L. 
WILLIAMS.
