HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> REALLY GOOD.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS YOUR BIG
NIGHT.
THIS IS AN EXCITING NIGHT AFTER
ALL THE WORK YOU SHOW IT TO
PEOPLE.
>> I AGREE.
IT'S ACTUALLY EVEN KIND OF COOL
COMING ON THE SHOW WITH A
TUXEDO.
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO A PREMIERE.
IT REMINDS ME OF LIKE WATCHING
LIKE THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW WHEN I
WAS A KID AND LIKE ERNEST
BORGNINE WOULD BE ON IN A
TUXEDO, OH I'M GOING TO THE
TOWERING ININFERNO PREMIERE IN
ABOUT TWO HOURS.
OKAY, GREAT, ERNIE.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THEM, I WANT
TO GO TO THE "TOWERING INFERNO"
PREMIERE.
>> Jimmy: NOW YOU GET TO GO.
YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US
OUR STAFF, ME, ET CETERA, A
SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE MOVIE ON
FRIDAY NIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU ARE A NUT.
AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHY
YOU'RE A NUT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR THIS.
>> Jimmy: ABOUT HALF AN HOUR
INTO THE MOVIE I TURN AROUND AND
THERE YOU ARE SITTING BEHIND ME.
>> I DID NOT REALIZE THAT.
I FOUND THAT OUT TODAY.
I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE IN FRONT
OF ME.
>> Jimmy: YOU DIDN'T.
>> I HAD NO IDEA.
>> Jimmy: BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU REMEMBER BUT WHEN "KILL
BILL" WAS OUT --
>> OF COURSE I REMEMBER THAT,
WHEN WE WALKED THROUGH THE WHOLE
AUDIENCE.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
BUT ALSO YOU WAITED IN THE LOBBY
TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T -- YOU
WANTED TO CATCH ME IF I SNUCK
OUT OF THE MOVIE.
AND THEN I SEE YOU BEHIND ME,
OH, GOD, I CAN'T GO TO THE
BATHROOM NOW.
>> RIGHT.
EXACTLY.
JIMMY, YOU'RE GOING TO THE
BATHROOM NOW?
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENE.
YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.
>> Jimmy: EVERYONE WAS NERVOUS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN AROUND TO
SEE IF YOU WERE STILL THERE.
BUT PEOPLE STOPPED EATING
POPCORN BECAUSE THEY WERE
WORRIED YOU MIGHT GET OFFENDED
THEY WERE EATING DURING THE
MOVIE.
AS IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE AT
ALL.
>> IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
BUT BY THE WAY, THE THING THAT'S
KIND OF FUNNY ABOUT THAT IS YOU
PROBABLY HEARD ME LAUGHING THE
LOUDEST AT THE MOST
INAPPROPRIATE MOMENTS.
>> Jimmy: DESPITE YOUR ATTEMPTS
TO ZAKT US AND RUIN THE FILM FOR
US WE ALL LOVED THE MOVIE.
IT'S REALLY GREAT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Jimmy: AND PEOPLE WILL
UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY SEE IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
YOU CLOSED DOWN HOLLYWOOD
BOULEVARD.
FOR HOW MANY NIGHTS IN A ROW?
>> GOSH.
I THINK WE DID IT -- IT WAS
ACTUALLY A SITUATION, I THINK WE
HAD IT FOR TWO NIGHTS GOING ONE
WAY AND THEN ABOUT THREE MONTHS
LATER TWO NIGHTS GOING THE OTHER
WAY.
>> Jimmy: AND HOW DOES IT THIS
MAKE YOU FEEL WHEN THIS IS ONE
OF THE MOST FAMOUS STREETS IN
THE WORLD, YOU'RE ABLE TO SHUT
IT DOWN FOR YOUR OWN MOVIE?
>> THAT WAS KIND OF AMAZING,
FRANKLY, TO -- NOT ONLY --
SHUTTING IT DOWN, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S ITS OWN THING.
THAT'S REALLY COOL.
BUT TO SHUT IT DOWN AND TURN IT
BACK INTO THE HOLLYWOOD
BOULEVARD OF MY -- LITERALLY OF
MY 6-YEAR-OLD CHILDHOOD WHEN I
BARELY REMEMBER BUT I REMEMBER
IT NEVERTHELESS, AND TO CREATE
ALL THAT AND LITERALLY JUST HAVE
IT -- THE THEATERS ARE ALL
APPARENTLY OPENED AND BLAZING.
IT WAS KIND OF AMAZING.
AND THEN JUST THE ONE MOMENT
THAT WAS KIND OF CRAZY, WE WERE
SHOOTING BRAD DRIVING DOWN
HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.
AND YOU START, YOU KNOW,
GATHERING -- IT HAPPENS ALL
NIGHT LONG.
BYSTANDERS WHO ARE JUST
WATCHING.
SO THIS IS BEHIND THE BARRICADES
AND THEY'RE WATCHING THE WHOLE
THING.
TOTALLY GREAT.
WELL, ONE OF THE BYSTANDERS WAS
THE AQUAMAN WHO STANDS IN FRONT
OF THE CHINESE THEATER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
NOT THE AQUAMAN FROM WHAT I
REMEMBER BUT YOU KNOW, THE JASON
MOMOA.
SO HE'S GOT THE WHOLE HAIR GOING
ON AND THE TATTOOS.
AND HE'S STANDING THERE WITH A
TRITON.
AND JUST STANDING THERE.
BOOM.
HE'S AQUAMAN.
ALL RIGHT?
AND WE WERE LIKE AQUAMAN'S
WATCHING US.
AND WE WERE TRYING NOT TO LOOK
AT HIM BUT YOU CANNOT NOT LOOK
AT HIM.
SO I KEPT SNEAKING LOOKS TO
AQUAMAN AS I'M DIRECTING.
>> Jimmy: IT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
BEEN WEIRD IF AQUAMAN SHOWED UP
IN THE THING.
I ALSO LOVE THAT -- AND I DON'T
WANT TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY.
SO I'M NERVOUS ABOUT EVEN SAYING
ANYTHING.
BUT YOU'RE -- YOU JUST HAVE YOUR
OWN VERSION OF HISTORY.
LIKE WELL, LOOK, IN YOUR VERSION
OF HISTORY HITLER GOT --
>> WHACKED OUT IN A MOVIE
THEATER.
>> Jimmy: HE WAS BURNED IN A
MOVIE THEATER.
>> AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE CAN YOU
DO THAT?
I GO, I GUESS I CAN.
I JUST DID IT.
>> Jimmy: I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
ELSE, THOUGH, WOULD EVER EVEN
THINK TO CHANGE HISTORY.
AND IN THIS MOVIE THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, OKAY, A WAY
TO KIND OF DEAL WITH THAT,
INTERESTING KIND OF WAY, IS THE
FACT THAT WHEN IT CAME TO
"INGLORIOUS BASTERDS" AND I'M
WRITING THE SEQUENCE AND
EVERYTHING'S GOING RIGHT, THE
BASTERDS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE
THEATER AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S
GOING TO GO GOOD.
NOW I'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT HIT SFLER
BECAUSE I HADN'T FIGURED THAT
OUT YET.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: WHO AMONG US HASN'T
HAD THAT THOUGHT?
>> WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT
HITLER?
>> Jimmy: THIS GUY'S A PROBLEM.
>> BYE-BYE BIRDIE SONG.
[ APPLAUSE ]
SO THE THING IS, THOUGH, I WAS
LIKE I DON'T WANT IT TO BE A
DOUBLE.
THAT'S ALWAYS A BUMMER WHENEVER
THAT HAPPENS IN A MOVIE.
I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE -- OH,
THEY SNEAK HIM OUT OF THE BACK
AND STUFF.
SO I GO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
IT'S LIKE 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
I'M WRITING BY MYSELF.
AND THEN I FINALLY DECIDE, JUST
KILL HIM.
ALL RIGHT?
AND SO I TOOK A PIECE OF PAPER
AND I JUST WROTE ON IT, "JUST
F-ING KILL HIM."
ALL RIGHT?
AND I PUT IT BY MY BEDSIDE TABLE
AND WENT TO BED.
AND THEN WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT
MORNING I FIGURED I WOULD LOOK
AT THE PIECE OF PAPER AND
REALIZE WAS IT A GOOD IDEA OR A
BAD IDEA?
AFTER I HAD A NIGHT'S SLEEP AND
I READ IT AND I GO IT'S A GREAT
IDEA!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: AND IT WAS.
AND THIS MOVIE IS WHAT I THINK
WE CAN SAY IS THAT LEO PLAYS A
STAR.
>> YEAH, HE'S A STAR LIKE DURING
THE TIME OF THE LATE '50s, EARLY
'60s, HAD A TV SHOW CALLED
"BOUNTY LAW."
HE'S A BOUNTY HUNTER IN IT.
AND IT WAS A VERY POPULAR TV
SHOW AT THE TIME.
AND IT WAS POPULAR ENOUGH THAT
WHEN THE SHOW WENT OFF THE AIR
HE COULD LIKE DO MOVIES AND GO
ON.
BUT HE DID OKAY BUT THE WHOLE
MOVIE STAR TRANSITION FROM TV TO
MOVIES DIDN'T QUITE WORK FOR
HIM.
AND SO NOW IT'S 1969 AND THE
WHOLE CULTURE HAS CHANGED.
THE ENTIRE ZEITGEIST HAS
CHANGED.
HIS ENTIRE CAREER'S BEEN RUNNING
POCKET COMBS THROUGH HIS
POMPADOURS AND NOW IT'S ALL LONG
HAIRED ANDROGYNOUS HIPPIE TYPES.
AND NOW HE'S PLAYING BAD GUYS ON
OTHER PEOPLE'S TV SHOWS.
SO THAT'S HIS SITUATION.
SO HIS STOCK IS GOING DOWN.
NEVERTHELESS, HE LIVES NEXT DOOR
TO SHARON TATE AND ROMAN
POLANSKI, WHOSE STOCK IS GOING
STRAIGHT UP.
AND THEY ALMOST REPRESENT THIS
NEW HIPPIE ERA OF HOLLYWOOD.
AND HE'S KIND OF TRAPPED ON THE
OUTSIDE.
AND IT'S SORT OF FOLLOWING THEIR
CHARACTERS.
>> Jimmy: AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO SHARON TATE.
VERY SADLY.
>> AND THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT.
YEAH.
>> Jimmy: I HAVE TO SAY, I THINK
FOR GUYS OUR AGE THIS IS ABOUT
AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
THIS IS A "MAD" MAGAZINE
PARODYING THE SHOW THAT DIDN'T
ACTUALLY EXIST BUT DOES EXIST IN
YOUR FILM.
AND THIS IS -- THERE'S ACTUALLY
A FRAMED "MAD" IN THE PHOTO.
>> I HAD THE IDEA THAT "BOUNTY
LAW" WOULD HAVE BEEN -- THEY
WOULD HAVE DONE A PARODY OF IT
BACK IN THE DAY, LIKE '62 OR
SOMETHING.
>> Jimmy: SURE THEY WOULD HAVE.
>> AND I THOUGHT LET'S DO A
COVER, LET'S DO AN ISSUE.
AND THAT WILL JUST BE ON RICK'S
WALL.
SO THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT
IN TOUCH WITH THE "MAD" PEOPLE.
THEY LIKED THE IDEA.
AND SO WE SAID, WELL, WOULD YOU
DO A PARODY OF "BOUNTY LAW" FOR
THE -- FOR YOUR MAGAZINE?
AND THEY SAID YES.
THEY LOVED THE ARTWORK AND
EVERYTHING.
THEY DID THE PARODY.
WE SHOWED THEM ALL THE FOOTAGE
WE HAD FROM "BOUNTY LAW."
I EXPLAINED IT TO THEM.
THEY DID THE PARODY.
BUT I HAVE TO SAY.
AS YOU SAID, AS A PERSON WHO
GREW UP WITH "MAD," AS A PERSON
WHO GREW UP WITH "MAD," I CAME
UP WITH THE TITLE.
"LOUSY LAW."
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I WAS GOING TO SAY,
IT'S PERFECT.
ALL YOU NEED IS A --
>> TO ACTUALLY BE THE TAERKT OF
WHAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THE COVER
BUT TO ACTUALLY NAME MY OWN
"MADD" PARODY, FORGET THE OSCAR,
THIS IS MY OSCAR.
THIS IS MY IRVING THALBERG
AWARD.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: QUENTIN TARANTINO IS
HERE.
THE MOVIE'S "ONCE UPON A TIME IN
HOLLYWOOD."
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>>> THIS AIN'T AN ANDY
McLAUGHLIN PICTURE.
AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE A
BUNCH OF GUYS THAT SMOKE
CIGARETTES AND TALK TO EACH
OTHER ALL DAY ON THE CHANCE THAT
I MIGHT USE THEM.
>> I'VE GOT A FOUR-MAN TEAM
HERE, RICK.
I NEED MORE THAN THAT I'VE GOT
TO GET IT APPROVED.
AND I'VE GOT TO LOOK AFTER MY --
>> AND IF YOUR DUDES WERE A
BETTER MATCH FOR ME I'D SAY
OKAY, YOU GOT ME.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE AND YOU
KNOW IT.
HE'S A GREAT MATCH FOR ME.
>> YEAH.
>> HEY, YOU COULD DO ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO HIM.
THROW HIM OFF A BUILDING, RIGHT?
LIGHT HIM ON FIRE.
HIT HIM WITH A LINCOLN.
RIGHT?
GET CREATIVE.
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
HE'S JUST HAPPY FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY.
>> THAT IS KURT RUSSELL AND
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO IN "ONCE UPON
A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD."
IT OPENS ON FRIDAY.
BOY, IS THERE ANY -- YOU'VE GOT
SO MANY GREAT STARS.
I MENTIONED THE FOLKS THAT WERE
HERE EARLIER.
AL PACINO IS IN THE MOVIE.
LUKE PERRY'S IN THE MOVIE.
AND HE WAS TERRIFIC IN THE
MOVIE.
>> HE'S FANTASTIC IN THE FILM.
YEAH.
TIMOTHY OLIPHANT.
LENA DUNHAM.
>> Jimmy: LENA DUNHAM HAD A PART
IN THE MOVIE.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT SAYS NO
WHEN YOU ASK THEM?
HAS IT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?
>> IT HAS HAPPENED.
IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON LIKE THEIR
SCHEDULE.
ARE THEY AVAILABLE?
I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVEN'T HAD
TOO MANY PEOPLE SAY NO, I DON'T
LIKE THE SCRIPT, NO, I DON'T
THINK THE PART IS RIGHT FOR ME.
I HAVEN'T HAD THAT HAPPEN IN A
LITTLE BIT.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S NICE.
THAT'S A LOVELY LUXURY TO HAVE,
ISN'T IT?
>> I ONLY ASK PEOPLE I THINK ARE
GOING TO SAY YES, THOUGH.
>> Jimmy: WELL, YEAH, WHY NOT?
WITH THIS MOVIE DID YOU SHOW THE
ACTORS -- I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU
LIKE TO SIT AN ACTOR DOWN AND
SAY I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS
MOVIE OR LET'S WATCH THESE
MOVIES TOGETHER.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A FILM SCHOOL
KIND OF SITUATION.
>> OH, YEAH, NO --
>> Jimmy: DID YOU DO THAT WITH
THIS ONE?
>> ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO
THE ERA, 1969, I SHOWED HIM --
WE SHOWED THE CREW MOVIES LIKE
"MODEL SHOP" OR "BOB AND CAROL
TED AND ALICE."
IT WAS REALLY COOL.
"EASY RIDER."
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS
REALLY FUN THAT ENDED UP BEING A
CRAZY COINCIDENCE WAS BRAD HAD
ALREADY READ THE SCRIPT A COUPLE
OF TIMES AND HE WAS COMING OVER
TO MY HOUSE JUST FOR US TO SPEND
THE NIGHT TOGETHER AND TALK
ABOUT THE CHARACTER.
AND SO HE SHOWS US AND I'M
THINKING THAT -- I'M THINKING
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW
HIM THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING
AVENUE OF DISCUSSION.
I HAVE A FILM PRINT READY TO GO
WHEN HE GETS HERE, WE'LL GET
AROUND TO THAT.
SO HE SHOWS UP AND HE'S GOT A
DVD THAT HE WANTS TO WATCH.
AND SO HE BRINGS OUT A DVD OF
THE MOVIE "BILLY JACK."
>> Jimmy: YES.
>> AND HE WAS LIKE -- YOU KNOW,
I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING IN TOM
McLAUGHLIN'S PERFORMANCE IN HERE
THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR
CLIFF.
I THINK THAT COULD BE AN
INTERESTING JUMPING OFF POINT.
I THOUGHT WE COULD WATCH IT
TOGETHER.
AND HE'S GOT THIS DVD OF "BILLY
JACK."
I GO, BRAD, I HAVE A
35-MILLIMETER PRINT OF "BILLY
JACK" CUED UP ON MY PROJECTOR TO
SHOW YOU TONIGHT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: WELL, THAT'S -- YOU'RE
ON THE SAME PAGE I GUESS.
>> ABSOLUTELY ON THE SAME PAGE.
AND IT WASN'T THAT THE CHARACTER
WAS LIKE BILLY JACK.
IT WAS THAT YOU COULD IMAGINE
TOM LOUGHLIN PLAYING THIS
CHARACTER.
SO WE WANTED TO LOOK AT IT FROM
THAT PERSPECTIVE.
>> Jimmy: IS THIS REALLY GOING
TO BE YOUR SECOND TO LAST MOVIE?
YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO DO ONE
MORE AND THAT'S IT?
>> THAT'S THE IDEA.
I MEAN --
>> Jimmy: WHOSE IDEA IS THIS?
>> MY IDEA.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS A BAD IDEA.
>> WELL, I'M NOT SAYING I'LL
JUST DISAPPEAR LIKE J.D.
SALINGER.
I'LL BE A WRITER --
>> Jimmy: WHAT, YOU'LL PLAY
GOLF?
>> WELL, I HAVEN'T BEEN MARRIED.
I HAVEN'T HAD KIDS.
I JUST GOT MARRIED.
I WANT TO HAVE KIDS.
YOU KNOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
>> DOING A TV THING COULD BE
REALLY KIND OF COOL.
BUT I KIND OF LIKE THE IDEA OF
MAKING TEN MOTION PICTURES AND
THEN BOOM, THAT'S IT, THAT'S
DONE, THE FILMOGRAPHY IS LOCKED
AND THERE YOU GO.
>> Jimmy: 12 WOULD BE GOOD TOO.
OR 13 OR EVEN 15 IS A NICE
NUMBER.
>> WELL, YOU'RE KIND OF TALKING
ME INTO IT.
>> Jimmy: IS "STAR TREK" A MOVIE
YOU'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT
MAKING?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> HELLO, GORGEOUS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND.
ARE YOU CUTTING THROUGH AGAIN?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> NO.
ACTUALLY, I JUST WANTED TO
INVITE THE WHOLE AUDIENCE TO
COME SEE "ONCE UPON A TIME IN
HOLLYWOOD."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: I WILL SAY THAT'S VERY
SWEET.
BUT LEO ALREADY INVITED THEM TO
SEE IT.
>> HE DID?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, WHEN HE
WAS CUTTING THROUGH.
>> OH, OKAY.
>> Jimmy: AND WE WOULD LOVE TO
COME, BY THE WAY.
WE ALL DECIDED WE'D LIKE TO
COME.
>> I'M SORRY.
IT'S JUST WE JUST HAVE ROOM FOR
THE AUDIENCE.
TICKETS ARE REALLY LIKE --
>> Jimmy: THERE'S ONLY ONE --
I'M ONLY ONE PERSON.
>> YEAH, BUT YOU GET IT.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> GUILLERMO.
DO YOU WANT TO COME TO THE
MOVIE?
>> Guillermo: I WOULD LOVE TO
COME, YES.
>> Jimmy: I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU
HAD NO ROOM FOR ANYBODY BUT THE
AUDIENCE.
>> YEAH.
BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE SPACE
FOR GUILLERMO.
>> Jimmy: WELL, THAT MAKES
SENSE.
WELL, YOU GUYS ALL HAVE FUN.
ARE YOU TAKING OFF TOO?
>> I'M TAKING OFF.
>> Jimmy: MARGOT ROBBIE AND
GUILLERMO.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.
IT OPENS FRIDAY.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH KEITH L.
WILLIAMS.
