Great Expectations

But over the long haul, you could not deny the songwriting chops that this guy had and that he could make songs like that.

He had a song on the, uh, Great Expectations soundtrack.

Oh, yeah.

Call- I can't remember if it was-

That's a really good song.

Oh, it's amazing.

Boy, that's like, the Great Expectations soundtrack is one hell of a time capsule, let me tell you, man.

Oh, yeah.

songs.

I don't have any of their albums, but I think they did a song called Like a Friend for the Great Expectations soundtrack.

I love that song, but maybe I'll give it a shot.

We'll see if I like it.

But we know that Bruce was squeamish because the reason she wouldn't do...

Speaking of cunnilingus, the cunnilingus scene in Great Expectations is that she didn't want her dad seeing Ethan Hawke go down on her.

It was a whole thing and she told... courtroom that she wouldn't do it so like which

like all respect to Gwyneth but like if I had a script where Ethan Hawke was going to go down on me I would tell my father to just steer clear like I don't see it yeah like yeah that's on him like I'm doing them I'm doing the scene

Thank you for reminding me.

I do want to say, though, like, I think the haircut's actually, like, key to the role because, and again, you know, I reserve the right to say something later when we do sliding doors that maybe I have not thought of yet.

But, like, to your point, I think that, like, even though she, of course, comes off as, like, so much younger than Michael Douglas in this movie, I think if she'd had, like, her long hair that she has in, like, A Great Expectations or, you know, an earlier movie, like, she would appear even younger than she does.

I think the haircut, like, even though she still looks significantly younger than him, I think it would almost, she would look straight up childish next to Michael Douglas, if not just, like, much younger.

I, I know I saw, I rented Sliding Doors from the home, my hometown video rental store.

I know that I watched Great Expectations on TV, like, every time it was on TNT, and it was on TNT all the time.

I know my mom bought the, the DVD, it was one of the first DVDs we ever bought, of A Perfect Murder, and we watched that over and over 'cause she was really obsessed with Viggo Mortensen before Lord of the Rings-

[laughs]

Yeah.

I mean, I think that, like, this will be sort of the arc of '98 in a way, that in Hush she sort of like, it's definitely not that.

I mean, Great, Great Expectations is interesting because, you know, Estella is in a position of power over Finn, but also she's been sort of trained by, um, whatever Miss Hav- Havisham's name is in that movie, I can't remember, to, uh, to be a certain way.

Like, she's been, she's been trained to destroy men basically.
