Our baby’s all grown up.
TheVisualGuy - Hollywood, California USA United We Stand 1/26/2002 8:25:09 PM
My favorite beautiful baby scene is at the Derby. Sparse dialogue and a visual story. They used a beautiful combination of Jon Favreau ‘swinging’ Heather Graham off her feet while the Big Bad Voodoo Daddys picked up the tempo with ''Go Daddio'' and his money friends watched, wept and celebrated their baby growing up. You can literally see them grow up and fall in love. ::sniff:: It’s the visual story that makes it special. Filmmakers always try too hard to put ‘the wittiest’ dialogue all the time. Let the visual elements tell the story some of the time.
I know the director believes in ‘Natural Lighting’, but I think it was too dark, except for the Derby scene where they have nice bar lights on Heather and Jon Favreau.

A Rich New World
Director2Be - Los Angeles, California USA United We Stand 1/26/2002 8:13:18 PM
The writer and director created such a rich new world that you want to visit over and over again. They had the theme of Rat Pack, the Swing music and dance. They had the elements of Hollywood area code jokes and their favorite bars to hang out and even a new language. The wardrobe, too, brought us into a new world. Everybody was money! This is a great example of creating a richly textured world. |

I liked the way that one joke was re-used and it came at different speeds and unexpected times. ‘How many days should a guy wait to call a girl?’ The same joke became other jokes in other scenes. That, my screenwriting friends, is GREAT writing.
Mikey always stayed true to his character, a heart-broken, sensitive West Coast comedian with no representation. A great example was how he tried desperately to charm girls with his humor, like when he talked to Dorothy (We aren’t in Kansas anymore) and Lorraine (this is my hog, right here). I especially loved his Voltaire joke and how even the faceless waitress got the joke. |
