Breathless (1983) with A.C. Nicholas

Quentin cited this movie as one of the coolest movies, commenting, quote, "Here's a movie that indulges completely all my obsessions: comic books, rockabilly music, and movies," end quote.

So I think, I was trying to think, and maybe you remember.

Remember Roger Avery on one of the video archives, they were talking about how I think either Roger Avery loved the '60s one, and Quentin loved the '83 one.

Mm-hmm.

And then he kept telling him, like, "No, the '83 one's good," and vice versa.

"No, the '60s one's good." And then they finally met in the middle and was like, "Okay, I like the '60 and the '83." And Roger was like-

Mm-hmm

... "Yeah, the '83 one, okay, it's growing on me." Um, but it, it's very interesting where it's a criminal, you know, Total True Romance, a criminal, rockabilly music, you know.

Like, all this stuff.

Talking about Silver Surfer with, which Quentin was, you know, the, the screenwriter, you know, uh, whatever you call it, for Crimson Tide, and he wrote that whole Silver Surfer, you know, Jack-

Mm

... uh, Kirby thing.

Um, so it's, it's interesting how all of this goes together.

Sometimes we do find movies on here where we're like, "Oh yeah, this, I totally see it," you know, for Quentin.

But the tagline, "He's the last man on Earth any woman needs, and every woman wants." So with Richard Gere, I think, like, the first time maybe that I saw Richard Gere, we went and saw this in the theater, but maybe I didn't remember Richard Gere- For me, it's Pretty Woman comes out, and you're like, "Oh, Richard Gere." And then you're like, "Oh, that's Richard Gere with gray, you know, salt and pepper hair, and here he is from Things." I used to think, and I feel, I felt this way for a long time ago, Kris Kristofferson, I was like, I think that they're too big for their britches.

They think that their shit don't stink, you know, as a person and the actor.

Like, I'm like, give me a little bit middle of the road.

Give me a guy who doesn't know he's all that.

And that's how I used to feel about Richard Gere, thinking that that's how he felt.

But I, the m- the older I get, I understand it's a part that you play.

It's like, a- a- and when I say it now, I totally hear my dad, when my dad's like, "Fucking Henry Winkler being The Fonz.

He's not cool.

He's fucking four foot nothing, and what the fuck?" And I go, "Dad, it's a part that he plays." And he's like...

And he didn't understand it until he saw Night Shift, and then he's like, "Oh, I get it." I'm like, "Yeah." So anyway, um, so yeah, so but watching older, like for the, for the first time I saw Looking For Mr.

Goodbar.
