rose happy SEP
dont really know paper marker him
hello welcome to what the flick and a happy new year we are here how long
though and I go to talk about
interior leather borrow a better way you start of a new year than where
James Franco documentary about wet
that gay bars kinda poet get the misery business as laid down in the film is the
the James Franco is collaborator director James Matthews are going to
recreate
the legendary Lost 40 minutes love
hot gay S&M footage that William Friedkin had to cut out early 1980 film
cruising to get an R rating
that's not really what happens they'll
so much about this is about the crew the
watching them with me you got to looking around
you're looking for something basically two that Manchin won
basil his contact by seventeen
I like documentaries that play with
reality I do like I really like as it is the gift shop
you very much for that reason why it sort of I with you into a week with your
perception
you're constantly shifting perception and was really is not right in watching
this
is there anything that Israel that all fake documents I think a topic
I have and I think they kind of laid out pretty quickly that you can tell the
James Franco's playing James Franco you know and Travis Mathews
I is it you know that yeah I think I think that
you know the the reserve that if you listen to the the film spotting is the
you podcast
Metzinger nelson drew more they did a whole thing than that
drink breakers are like mad Franco in general they talk about how
he's really interested in he placed himself a lot if you look at his
filmography he plays
you know himself a lot and he's interested in sort of
I up public perception and
what actors do and what but face the present to the world
so what interloper really does more than try to recreate the the missing cruising
footage
i think is kinda dig into the idea I've what al pacino
had to do to make that movie because the movie if you've ever seen it is about a
Street New York cop
quest to go undercover in the sort of like S&M leather gay underground to find
the killer
and how that you know affect his life up
Pacino as an actor had to do the same thing because they shot that movie
in real bars in New York at the time in the Meatpacking District that are now
you know all condos now a fabulous rite II
back we go back when it was still *** you know and so it to you have
now more innocent Muslim the
pritchard know this season is the low he is basically playing the Al Pacino
character
and we see him go through this is sort of like over the course of a day
kinda being skittish about doing gay stuff and the material once or more more
kinda digging down into it and then passed his own sort of
barriers as an actor in in coping with the situation
and that's really what this movie is about it its about Al Pacino's journey
making cruising i think is what I wonder ones are being Bell
a lot to me is like the slow burn the tension building the waiting for what
you know have to be at the moment
sure either he does what he does on camera or did not right and it's all
building up to
that the scene in the gay bar and handicapping the actors and and gain
lighting too frightened to smoke just right and have
and and I love the montage and men
like cruising the camera putting on their cruising the right now it's just
me a ticket at the world adding that the vast majority
a filmgoers do not know sure right and to this is the way that window in the
world documentaries
real affection do that on yeah it builds tension in a way that I cannot believe
them with a let down when
the seen finally happened it is only 60 minutes long
right right Simon it's not even it when it comes to 59 60 minutes ago
and I i feel like im it a slow burn to nothing
it a bit let down but the journey this fascinating
there is out there something that happens and it it happen it
it's a subtle shipped from but you find out on a weekend
someone might but I think something does happen and I think that that is it's
it's done in a very kind of low-key kind of way
arm the movies interesting will pursue all tribesmen
is that a movie a couple years ago called I want your love which was sort
of a mumblecore type
movie but with very explicit sex scenes in it I
and I saw that movie actually sorta incorporated sex scenes into a
regular drama and use them to tell the truth is I characters
in a way that was even better than John Cameron Mitchell that was short but
measures are about to ask at the movies about the groundbreaking
so after apparently after franco so I want your love the realize that he could
make this movie if he worked with
with Travis and because it had the idea kicking around for a while
arm you know there is I think a.m. hear it
what WTF value yeah I know
there are literally scenes were James Franco is standing there with a video
camera and like
four feet away your two dudes going I have no doubt you know when
it very tender love the theme that says adequate lovely
not gratuitous don't know it is I i mean i think is what its audience last year
like a month or two before oz the great and powerful oh man im so just let my
mom heard
and maybe if the Frankish looks exactly as those range disconnect going on
lol not available he would do anything to try anything he not
as we talk about public perception young friend your image killjoy
a business no protection there as far as sure I must be this kind of person
and maintain my can be I like that do
you see that with the fact yeah and and the when the levels that reality going
on that there's a certain graduate student mess
yeah I know which analysts famously arm
not is not give me a movie for all tastes but I
I thought I was going to say I've always been I'm a fan above the original
cruising I think it's a it's an interesting if
problematic film and sort of the history above
LGBT images on screen and so this movie you don't have to see cruising in town
other bar but if you have there're
think they're jokes you get the nobody else will handle the tournament
I give it over it in a point six chip
arm you know again not for all tastes but I had a really good time
I hear them play on I like as an idea like an experiment and I think you'll
you'll try anything
and down is just it keeps you guessing it is unpredictable as it goes along
no I'm our average then well I have made his AMS employees
it's only a 50 percent on the two-minute leaders as all other as it is not for
everyone
I ap people care I them
