Movies 101 Hey lena!
THANKS for the reminder.
I just checked my TV guide & I get it!!! YAY! :D
I'm a leetle bit bummed though.
I thought it would be at least an hour.
It's only 30 minutes. :(

Lena, thank you for this reminder, as the previous article had mentioned Scorsese's episode would air later in the year.
In the page you linked, there are two clips of the show. In one of them, Marty is really cracking up. :lol:
If anyone here knows how to make videos of tv shows and is able to make one of this interview, needless to say, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds terrific! lena, thanks from me too.
Yes will, I marked my calendar for November.
That's what I remember reading about Scorsese on AMC Movie 101.
virgo, yeah...seems like a half hour isn't nearly enough time.
I thought at least there might be a Scorsese film after the interview.
But no....it says Village of the Damned plays after Movies 101 :!:
Oh well, I'm really looking forward to watching it anyway.
Scorsese's always so interesting to listen to and watch.
will, I'll check to see if I get a repeat of the show.

Thanks Lena for the link...although I can't see this programme so thanks to Will for the alert to the clips. I agree he is cracking up. Should be a great show. :lol:

It's on TONIGHT! "A Scorsese interview with touch of class"
MOVIES 101 WITH PROFESSOR RICHARD BROWN. Tonight at 10:30, AMC.
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/350996p-299376c.html
***I'm looking forward to this tonight!***
lena- 09-30-2005
tonight! Me too!

Movies 101 virgo, thanks for more about AMC Movies 101.
Now we know why the Scorsese interview was moved up ~
Scorsese's interview session was originally scheduled for November and then moved forward, perhaps because he got a flurry of publicity for his acclaimed PBS Bob Dylan documentary.
lena and virgo...I'm with you.
Can't wait to see it! :)

Over two hours were cut, leaving only 20-some-odd-minutes (after commercials), so here's a reminder about the audience member's report on the full interview that Will found last month. It actually fills in some of the gaps that were left out of the show, specifically Scorsese and host Richard Brown's meeting 40 years earlier at NYU. Nothing about The Departed or DiCaprio was retained, but there were a couple of indirect references to the film. Scorsese said he was shooting until 2am the previous night and at the end of the show, he said he had to leave to view dailies. He also discussed the various stresses that occur on the set and mentioned recently sitting at the edge of his chair and worrying whether to move right or left. "But I have trouble with my rights and lefts," he admitted. So he showed how he turns to Ballhaus on the set and taps his right shoulder for right and left shoulder for left. :lol:
Not any new stuff here, but I think it was the first time I ever saw Scorsese "act out" De Niro urging him to do Raging Bull while he lay in a hospital bed. He made it sound like a scene from a Marty biopic and even kinda did a De Niro impression. Sorta.
Brown and Scorsese also talked a bit about "making the day." That's when you've successfully accomplished filming all the script pages and camera set-ups that were scheduled for that day. Scorsese still seems amazed that he was able to make the day so often on The Aviator.

I just can't get enough of this stuff, thanks for reposting Peter's blog I must have missed it when Will posted it. It's a pity they didn't show the whole thing on TV.
I'd have liked to see the DeNiro impression. :D

101 Over two hours were cut, leaving only 20-some-odd-minutes (after commercials)...
Yeah.
It was waaaaaaaaaaaay too short.
It really should've been at least a full hour!
But...that said,
I really LOVED Richard Brown's introduction.
As a filmmaker, he has consistently displayed more courage than any filmmaker of our generation. He has a greater willingness to take a risk and to do something that is completely offbeat, unusual...something that's dangerous. And the degree to which he succeeds, in fact, the degree to which he creates superb narratives says to me that this is not only a wonderful filmmaker and a great and skillful storyteller, but he has set the bar, he has set the tone in this industry for decades and decades.
Remind you of anyone???
Maybe Hughes, DiCaprio, Dylan???
For me...all 3 of them.
And...very humble when Scorsese...sweet, almost shy expression on his face, said, "That was quite an introduction."
Yeah...Marty did a pretty good impersonation of DeNiro.
And he did it very COOL-LY.

BTW, I saw Flightplan this week and when the credits started, I was surprised to see the name of Florian Ballhaus listed as the cinematographer. Florian is Michael's son and was the cameraman and/or 2nd unit DP on many of his father's projects, including GONY.

Thanks for the reports Arnzilla and Virgo.... Won't probably never see that show so it's appreciated... Oh... and thanks also Lena for introducing the show

“…the other sanctuary was the movies.” Except for the length, I enjoyed watching Brown and Scorsese together last night.
I always love to hear Scorsese talk about his Italian roots,
growing up as an asthmatic kid, and the church as his “sanctuary”.
This Scorsese line stands out to me ~
“…the other sanctuary was the movies.”Not any new stuff here, but I think it was the first time I ever saw Scorsese "act out" De Niro urging him to do Raging Bull while he lay in a hospital bed. He made it sound like a scene from a Marty biopic and even kinda did a De Niro impression. Sorta.
Yeah Arnz, that was a highpoint for me too.
Loved hearing that kinda impression of DeNiro by Scorsese.
Don’t know if I ever read how DeNiro convinced Scorsese to do Raging Bull,
but hearing it from Scorsese was great…and touching.
It’s easy to understand why they’ve been such good friends for so long.
Scorsese, at a very low point, in a hospital bed needed exactly what DeNiro gave him.
And DeNiro must have known just what Marty needed…
encouragement, something to be excited about, a reason to make films again.
So Bravo to DeNiro for making his friend’s low point his business and coming to the rescue of a friend!
:oops: Okay, I confess….
I got hooked into a little of The Village of the Damned!
Funny thing, one of the commercials was for a med called Singulair for children with asthma.
It helps asthmatic kids lead a normal life playing outside and doing all the things other kids do.
And I couldn’t help to think about Scorsese.
So much of his love for and interest in movies came from asthma and his inability to do what other kids did.
I’m just glad there was no Singulair when Marty was a kid.
Can you imagine how many brilliant, amazing films we may never have seen???!!!
Arnz, thanks for reposting the interview from will.
After seeing the short interview on Movies 101, it was great to read again.
Courtney- 10-02-2005
Movies 101 Thanks Arnzilla for the summary. Didnt realize this show was the one that Will saw - I remember reading his (her's?) post about it. It's really too bad they edited so much of it. Scorsese's left and right thing is shared by quite a few people.
