The Hot Blog

I'm about to watch it. I can't wait until the part where he unveils the secret to opening a Summer Tentpole.

This guy represents everything that I love about Hollywood. And it's not on his IMDB page, but for every Silver fan out there, you should hunt down "Ten Pin Alley," the short he made in college. A really fun watch about an average joe (Chuck McCann, if I'm remembering right) who becomes a bowling champ. Silver even plays a heckler in a bowling alley.

The guy's a champ.

Um - "This Video is currently not available. Please try again later."

NO!!!!

Blame Defamer.

In spite of the nasty tone over there, I think the conversation gives you a decent picture of the man and not just this week's obsession with this film.

I got to watch most of it earlier; Good interview with a seemingly great guy. Just an awesome Hollywood character.

Poland's hair was looking pretty snazzy, too. Did you go to the salon and ask for "the Roeper" this time?

Roeper dreams of having hair as good as mine.

Thing is, even if you take the Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and Matrix franchises out of his resume, this guy has produced an amazing amount of pure genre entertainment over the years...much of it pretty good.

The Warriors, Road House, Last Boy Scout, Predator, Executive Decision...his IMDB credits are endless.

What I always loved about Silver is that he seems to be a mogul in the classic Hollywood sense of the word. He seems to always look for exciting ways to dazzle an audience and more often than not, always develops material and has his eye on the look out for properties that are engaging.

I hope he can put together a good show for Wonder Woman. Word of advice if you are reading this Joel...take a cue from Iron Man...cast a Woman, not a girl and do not worry about the pro-American angle.

What I would give to have 5 minutes to pitch this guy and show him my moxie.

Nicol, I'll just agree with you that Predator, The Warriors, Executive Decision, and especially Road House, (with the immortal line "I used to f*&@ guys like you in prison") are all terrific movies.

David could have used a better mic setup. The dramatic zoom 17 minutes in, and then the other at 31 minutes in was hilarious.

P.T. Barnum 2.0! The background on how they worked with various effects houses for 2100 effects shots was too cool.

It's all about "Jekyll & Hyde... Together Again."

We had sound problems, Tofu... that's why the piece, shot a week ago, didn't get up until last night.

Jeff,

...no love for The Last Boy Scout?

Never seen it.

I have seen, and enjoyed, Brewster's Millions though.

Not sure if I will watch this. I was a big JS fan until he (allegedly) hired scab writers for my favorite show, Moonlight, and (allegedly) told the featured actors not to book anything for the summer and fall...

then the show was not renewed. I realize he has bigger problems (SR) at the moment than this TV show, but it was my favorite guilty pleasure--and won the Peoples Choice Award (SOMEBODY liked it).

Just like The Nine, CBS picks up a drama with an ongoing story arc--that consistently won its demographic and frequently its timeslot--and then unceremoniously dumps it.

I have minimum cable as it is. This has pretty much killed my last interest in US television.

Hey maybe I can go to the movies this weekend!

Nicol,

showing him your moxie will do wonders. look what it did for sharon stone.

D'oh!

All right. I walked into that one.

David... what happened to the interview? Does anyone know where I can still take a look?

I can't find it either.....

Silver seems like the last of the great old skool producers. He has a great film resume and he takes chances with talent. That's what a good producer does. I wish SPEED RACER had a bigger pay-off.

Looks like the video must have been deleted. David, please upload it again!
