The club stuff looks accurate, but the rest? Feels to me like every other TV attempt to show the “real” music biz. My memory of that era is that everything – and I mean everything – took place in the dark.
THE GOOD:
Everything
THE BAD:
by Larry BrodyTime now to answer a question because now’s when I’ve got the time:
CB wants to know:
Hi Larry. Do you have any bibles for recent one-hour drama series? I actually have a producer interested in a contest winning series pilot…but she wants a ‘traditional series bible’ as opposed to the 9-page summary I’ve done. I have the bible for Lost, which is really a guide for staff writers, and she says that should not be used.
Film and video thrive on truth. The more truthful the work we create, the more powerful.
Even if we don’t know what the truth is.
While scrolling around the interwebs the other day, minding my own business, I came across this stunning example.
This is only the trailer for YOUTH, a new film written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino starring Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, and Rachel Weisz, but it made me cry.
I may even go to a theater to see this one. (That would be the second time this year. The first was for AGE OF ULTRON.)
