    i liked the older dp/30 – he answered more questions …

    the new one he seems like a cranky Harrison Ford type near the end. watch my movie . don’t watch. whatever.

    he wants to get paid for promoting his own movie. awesome.
    some honesty.

    probably another year till the next dp/30 with him
    his movie Cosmopolis has Robert Pattinson …yikes.
    Kevin Durand cool evil dude. Jay Baruchel – nice guy.
    and dp/30 favorite Paul Giamatti…

    Does this dude have a portrait up in his attic that’s in really, really bad shape?

    Poland:

    I just discovered that you hated the wonderful, overlooked documentary, Hands on a Hard Body. Shame on you.

  4. David Poland says:

    Honestly, I don’t remember seeing Hands On A Hardbody. I googled it and saw that RT has me as 0/5 on the film… but I think that’s a mistake. I’ve rated a few movies on RT without reviewing fully, but not many. And I really don’t think I rated that one… and really odd not to remember seeing it at all after looking at a trailer.

    Hands On a Hardbody is terrific, David. Watch it (or rewatch it, as the case may be — you won’t regret it.

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”

“Anyway, Hitchcock eventually saw a rough cut of High Anxiety. He enjoyed it. But he said nothing after it. He just left. I [thought he] wasn’t happy. The next day, about 11 o’clock in the morning, I get this enormous, beautiful case of Chateau Haut-Brion 1961. That was almost 20 years old [at the time]. I mean, it was priceless. And there were magnums six of them, in a wooden case. Haut-Brion. I mean, oh my God. I’ve still got three of them left waiting. I keep all the good wines.”
What kind of occasion is worthy? When will you know it’s time to go into number four?
“A real, real occasion. I won’t drink it just because it’s a family occasion. I’ll drink it with guys that know what a good wine is and care about, you know, exquisite wines. I have a couple of friends that know what a good wine is.”
