00:00Since you guys got started in the 90s,
00:02you've had such a great career.
00:03From then to now, what do you think
00:06has really changed in the business?
00:08A lot of things, a lot of things.
00:09I mean, I think people's attention span has changed a lot.
00:14I mean, there's new streaming services,
00:16the ability to access anything at any time,
00:19the fact that you have new content every single day.
00:22Kind of takes the thrill out of, you know,
00:24waiting for, you know, a giant sort of Hollywood picture
00:28to come out.
00:29I don't know if that's gonna become
00:31a fossil of the past or not.
00:32We hope it doesn't, but at the same time,
00:35it's also bringing in the ability for financing
00:39for incredible new ideas, filmmakers, diversity,
00:43storytelling, that I think is incredibly exciting.
00:47I think that some of the stories
00:49that I've tried to develop for years
00:52would never have a shot in hell
00:53of being financed or told or shown to the world.
00:57Things that, you know, are a gamble financially.
01:00And now, with these new streaming services,
01:02a lot of these stories that we would never,
01:04that would never have the amount of quality
01:07put into them, we're getting to see.
01:10So that's exciting.
01:11That's exactly right.
01:12It's just this wealth of talent
01:15from writing, directing, acting.
01:18It's quite extraordinary to watch.
01:21And at the same time, questions of, you know,
01:24where will the film experience land
01:27and what is disposable?
01:29I think disposability is the real question right now.
01:35I'm Rick Dalton.
01:36It's my pleasure, Mr. Schwartz.
01:38Call me Marvin, put it down.
01:40That your son?
01:41No, that's my stunt double, Cliff Booth.
01:43All right, what's the matter, partner?
01:46It's official, old buddy.
01:48It has been.
01:49Hey!
01:50You're Rick Dalton.
01:52Don't you forget it.
01:54All right, all right, all right, all right.
01:58If you could go back to any decade
02:00that you've, you know, ever cared about,
02:02why would you go back to that decade?
02:04Within the last century or through all of time?
02:07The last century.
02:08Oh, that would have been cool.
02:10Yeah.
02:10It would have been cool to see dinosaurs.
02:14Although we would have been standing in magma,
02:16it would have been cool to see the creation of Earth.
02:17Yeah.
02:18What time period?
02:19What decade in the last century?
02:21I know you're gonna have a good answer.
02:22Well, I gotta say, one of the things is,
02:24whenever I watch movies that take place
02:28actually in Hollywood in like 63 or 64,
02:32you know, where Dino's is on the Sunset Strip
02:36and people are living at Larchmont Village
02:39and driving around in those kind of like
02:42convertible sports cars,
02:46you know, that whole Hollywood Boulevard,
02:47the Sunset Strip, especially at that time,
02:50that seems just chic and cool as hell.
02:54But I wish I always thought,
02:55boy, I wouldn't mind being me then.
02:59Yeah.
03:00I gotta be me.
03:01And I wanna have what I have now,
03:03but have it then.
03:06I'd like to redo the 90s.
03:08Maybe get another shot at the 90s.
03:1120s or 60s for me.
03:12Yeah, me too.
03:1320s, not 60s.
03:15I'd say 20s into the 30s to see.
03:17It would have been cool to see the silent film era.
03:20It would have been interesting.
03:21When it was like the Wild Wild West
03:22and there were no rules
03:24and it was absolute bedlam.
03:26That sounds cool.
03:27I literally just watched two movies
03:29about the making of movies in the silent days.
03:31I watched Peter Bogdanovich's Nickelodeon
03:34and there's a really interesting Russian movie
03:36on the same subject by Nikita Mikhailov
03:39called Slave of Love
03:42and they're both about the same,
03:43about the one-reelers, you know,
03:44like little, it's pretty interesting.
03:46It was pretty interesting.
