Midnight in Paris

Yes, I've heard a lot of experts are struggling with the dating apps in France.

Yes, I think that Hollywood has created quite an idealized vision of Paris and France in general in movies like Midnight in Paris or even series like Emily in Paris.

And I think what we see in movies is amplifies some truths but completely ignores others and even amelie which is a movie i personally really like but when you see amelie you have the charming cafes the romance the architecture the artistic vibe etc and it's true that when you walk in Montmartre, you can feel like you're in a film.

I was born there, so I know what it's like.

Hannah.

This is Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams in Midnight in Paris.

Midnight in Paris.

A movie I like a lot.

What can you do? What can you do? They are engaged.

They are engaged.

They're going to break up, but they're currently engaged.

This is, of course, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams in Midnight in Paris, and they are engaged.

We're joined by actress and author Mimi Kennedy, whose career has taken her from Broadway to television and film, as well as behind the scenes as a writer.

Audiences know Mimi from Dharma and Greg, Mom, Homefront, and films including Erin Brockovich and Midnight in Paris.

She began her Broadway career in the original production of Grease later worked as a story editor on Knotts Landing, and is the author of Taken to the Stage, The Education of an Actress.

Her latest project is Out of the Woods, where she stars as Diana alongside Frances Fisher in a story about love, memory, and reconnecting with someone from the past.

have morals but that's fine you guys are different I thought

you were going to say you couldn't because of white people which is also a fair reason to not watch Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris was great I'm too scared to ever go back to it for a lot of reasons but no like Weinstein I did watch

I watched, um, no, I watched, I, like, the Weinsteins were behind some of the films I absolutely loved.

So before all of this happened in the early 2000s, I met Bob and, uh, what's his other one? Harvey.

[laughs]

She's like, "What are we watching?" I was like, "We're gonna start with Annie Hall, and then we're gonna do Midnight in Paris."

Mm-hmm.

That gives you a good kind of bookend of his career, and she loved Annie Hall.

...

Hannah and Her Sisters, Midnight in Paris.

Oh, yeah, they all seemed to like that, didn't they? Yeah.

Match Point is another one-

That's it.

Then you got, uh, I'd say probably of the last 20 years or just over t- Match Point, I think.

Midnight in Paris, I don't remember rating it that highly when I watched it, but I'd be happy to go back to it.

I saw it in the theater, and then I watched it again recently, and I found it held up.

From Shakespeare inspired through a list of superhero blockbusters, he injects intelligence, charisma, and when required, a healthy dose of cunning into the roles he plays.

He's the iconic villain, God of Mischief, Loki, in six Marvel movies and the hit TV series, and has starred in Steven Spielberg's War Horse, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, and Kong: Skull Island.

He's even proven he's all singing and all dancing playing country music legend Hank Williams in the biopic I Saw the Light.

And of course, he played Jonathan Pine in this hit spy thriller, The Night Manager.

They pointed out a specific discrepancy.

They asked, "How is Bridesmaids 2011 number 12, while Midnight in Paris 2011 is number 83, when Midnight in Paris won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, beating Bridesmaids?"

Setting up a direct comparison.

Yep.

And then they followed it up with, "Midnight in Paris is worse than Booksmart and Bridesmaids, et cetera.

LOL."

So the user is citing the Oscar win as empirical proof of superiority.

The Academy deemed Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris the better script in 2011, so shouldn't it be higher on a list of best scripts?
