Good to see you.
I love that dress.
Thank you.
Looks fantastic.
Color.
Yes, a lot of color.
Like the Lego Movie.
Filled with color.
Yes, it is.
It looks like a Lego type dress.
Like, it could be made of Legos.
Yes, all my movies influence my style.
So this is the Lego Movie influencing my style.
Oh, good.
So you want to keep happy movies going?
I think-- Yeah.
Or I could just start wearing black
and like, do a lot of dark movies.
That would also be fine with me.
So your clothing dictates the movie versus the movies
dictating the clothing.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know which chicken came before the egg.
I don't know.
Well, find out.
Start dressing in black, and see what happens.
And see if get it.
We just showed the Super Bowl tape with Andy, you're a huge--
I'm a Patriots fan.
Yes, I am.
So that made you very happy.
So thank you.
Yes.
I am very happy.
Because you're from Massachusetts?
I'm from Massachusetts.
I grew up there.
I had my whole family.
Thank you, that one person from Massachusetts.
What part?
I grew up in Western Mass.
And actually, I grew up in a sort of a-- well,
I grew up in more of a baseball house.
And it was a totally divided house.
My mom is from Boston, is a Big Red Sox fan.
Her whole side of the family, huge Red Sox.
But my dad, who grew up in Western Massachusetts,
got all of his radio when he was a kid from Albany, New York,
and that was all Yankees.
So literally, it was like Yankees Red Sox in my house
all the time.
Wow.
But patriots is our football team.
Everyone agrees on that one?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, Tom Brady is amazing.
Yes, he is.
He's I think he's like, excellence personified
in a human being.
He might be like, the evolution of our species.
And so I think it's pretty incredible to watch him.
Yeah, because he's like 65 or something.
Yeah.
By the way, he gives me hope.
I'm in my 40s.
And he gives me hope that like, you can still be relevant.
I think a lot of people did think that, you know,
maybe it wasn't going to be his year.
And everybody was rooting for the Rams
because they were hungry for it.
But he still pulled through.
He did.
The Rams had a great season.
And they have a really young coach
and a really young quarterback.
But that experience of the five rings already on his fingers,
and now he gets a sixth, it's pretty amazing for Tom.
Yeah.
So how many kids do you have?
I have two little boys.
And how old are they?
They are six and almost eight.
But they must think that you're cool because you're
in the Lego movies.
Oh, man.
I get a lot of brownie points.
Yeah.
In fact, I got I got Legos--
literally, I just got a new delivery of Legos
that are going in the car on the way home.
They're really excited.
Mostly, they went to the Lego Movie premiere,
with like, 20 of their friends.
It was a whole row of them, which was adorable.
And they were most excited about the free popcorn.
That was like, number one for them.
Wow.
And they kept asking where the candy was.
And I was like, yeah.
Eat popcorn.
Do you not give them things like that at home?
I mean, why would they be so excited about--
I mean, I charge them for it, obviously.
For popcorn?
It's not free.
Yeah.
That's why they're excited. 'Cause it was free there.
They love free stuff.
All right.
So Lego II, the movie II, what is that about?
Well, it picks up where the first one ended.
You know, we broke the fourth wall at the end.
You find out the whole thing's taking place
in the mind of this boy, Finn.
And he has a little sister.
And so this movie is about what happens
when you have to play with your little sister.
Like what does that mean?
And a lot of it is around who started it,
and whether or not they're going to be
able to play without fighting.
Oh great.
Yeah.
And it's Chris Pratt, again, which is a-- y'all are--
Plays Emmet.
Yes.
We have a lovely time together.
He's really a delight, and he's very Emmety.
So you just directed a Charlie's Angels movie.
I did.
Where?
In Turkey?
We were in Germany and in Istanbul, Turkey.
Yeah.
Wow.
We were globe trotting with this Charlie's Angels installment.
Yeah, that's actually us at wrap right there.
That was after our very last shot,
when I was saying goodbye to the girls.
I was so proud of them, and really proud
of making the movie.
Yeah.
Not many female directors.
There we are in a--
Good for you.
Yes, not enough female directors.
[APPLAUSE]
Good for you.
And not a lot is about three amazing kick butt girls.
So I'm really, really excited.
It comes out this fall.
And I can't wait for people to see the movie.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
And had you been to Istanbul before?
I'd never been to Istanbul.
It was completely amazing.
I've heard.
I recommend it.
Yeah, I've heard.
It's a super photographable city,
and I had a great, great time there.
And we were really well looked after in Istanbul.
It was gorgeous.
Well, congratulations on the movie,
and I can't wait to see it, and we
need to support more female directors and just movies
starring women, like you said, as well.
Thank you.
All right.
The Lego Movie II, The Second Part, opens everywhere Friday,
and we'll be right back.
