William BibbianiHOST
Huh.
William BibbianiHOST
Because it was directed by Richard Attenborough.
William BibbianiHOST
It was written by William Goldman, the writer of Marathon Man and The Princess Bride.
William BibbianiHOST
And it stars Anthony Hopkins, and it's a film called Magic.
William BibbianiHOST
One, William Goldman wrote one fuck of a script.
William BibbianiHOST
I think it's based on his own novel.
William BibbianiHOST
Two, Richard Attenborough, not known for directing horror movies, is an oddly perfect choice for this because Richard Attenborough was a great actor's director.
William BibbianiHOST
And ultimately, this is more than anything else a character piece, and that's the other piece of the puzzle, is Anthony Hopkins, who is, of course... one of the great actors and it's weird that this movie kind of got overlooked for so long because this is arguably one of his best performances he is very multifaceted in this he is funny he has a good stage presence he is demonic he's tragic i see a lot of like what andy circus did with gollum uh in anthony hopkins performance in magic um okay He plays this guy like an incredibly tragic figure.
Matt KoplikHOST
This might be...
Matt KoplikHOST
I think this is going to be in... reverse on youtube i can't tell but yes uh the movie adaptation of the chorus line because who doesn't love a rich and a richard attenborough vehicle you know richard attenborough for those who don't know directed gandhi so of course that's who they hire to direct a chorus line just like hmm who should we get to direct rent how about the guy who did home alone and the first two harry potters yeah that sounds like a good idea who should we get to direct uh les miserables and cats how about the dude who did the danish girl Yeah, that's an awesome idea.
Matt KoplikHOST
Or, uh, hmm, what's another one that's stupid? Plenty.
Matt KoplikHOST
There's plenty of other ones.
JoryHOST
don't know if you
ParkerHOST
know the tweet where it's like Richard Attenborough doing commentary over a nature documentary.
ParkerHOST
He's like, skip this animal.
ParkerHOST
Skip it.
JohnHOST
I remember being one of the hunters, kind of just like walking around trying to find, you know, so the predator with the three laser dots, kind of trying to find a girl who's been left by her friends.
JohnHOST
And she's like, no, do you see a nature documentary? In fact, Richard Attenborough could easily narrate one of these things where it's like a pod of girls goes into a club And then one by one, they get picked off.
JohnHOST
And then unfortunately, there's one lone girl on her own.
JohnHOST
And she's vulnerable, waiting for the moment.
Chris OakleyGUEST
But in the second one, it's basically like a compilation of little... comments from different personalities of the time.
Chris OakleyGUEST
You've got Edward Fox, Susie Quatro, Richard Attenborough, Clive Jenkins, trade union leader, ask your parents, Magnus Pike,
Tyler AdamsHOST
it goes
Chris OakleyGUEST
on.
JamesHOST
He's sweet.
JamesHOST
You know, as played by Richard Attenborough so brilliantly.
JamesHOST
But the Hammond in the book, yeah, he's super self-important, incredibly selfish and greedy, almost to the point of villainy.
JamesHOST
And yeah, I thought that was, you know, on top of all of the character changes that were presented and, you know, some storylines that went far differently than the film did.
Max CovillHOST
Love him in those.
Max CovillHOST
It says here he was also in Richard Attenborough's A Bridge
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Too
Max CovillHOST
Far, and Walter Hill's The Driver.
MikeHOST
And it's not until you're rewatching stuff and especially stuff like this, they probably didn't know people were going to watch 20 times.
MikeHOST
But later on, you know, there's the famous meme of how there's the great scene in Jurassic Park where Richard Attenborough is looking at the side of the television talking to Jeff Goldblum.
MikeHOST
You're like, wait a minute, you can't see the screen.
MikeHOST
How does this scene work? And I didn't think about that for 20 years.
Matt RealHOST
Because the abdomens are filled with like a sweet nectar.
Matt RealHOST
There's a video of Richard Attenborough eating one.
Emily GrahamGUEST
nature's gummy cluster and
Matt RealHOST
he says if I can remember he says it's warm it's sweet or no it's warm it's liquid and it's deliciously sweet it's very
Shane MadejHOST
gross Richard Attenborough being like Influencer taste test.
Shane MadejHOST
What is that? That's how they cover their mouth
Emily GrahamGUEST
when they're
Karl CoppackGUEST
Well, that's what I was going to ask you,
John RainHOST
actually, is that Richard Attenborough plays Christie in this.
John RainHOST
Yes.
John RainHOST
And from all accounts, he spoke in a whisper.
14 MINS LATER
Karl CoppackGUEST
And that's why there's a bit of a, could he have, taken um barreled all the way down the stairs into the wash house alone that that goes against Timothy Evans but um he was he was dead about three times a week he's on pills for everything yeah
John RainHOST
yeah that sort of comes across in the film doesn't it yeah Oh, I should say, actually, Christie was...
John RainHOST
Because Richard Attenborough's very good, I think.
John RainHOST
Very, very good.
