:46:06
Call Dr. Kevorkian.
:46:09
- Val...
- This is the worst...
:46:12
This looks... like
the work of a blind man.
:46:15
Come on. You're...
You're scaring me.
:46:18
I mean, I... Hal means
to preview this in two weeks...
:46:20
to get some
audience reaction and...
:46:22
The audience will... rush
into the projection booth...
:46:26
and grab the print
and hurl it into the sea.
:46:34
Here are the rest of the cards
the audience filled out.
:46:38
Well, you know, they're
practically unanimous.
:46:40
"An incoherent, stupid
waste of celluloid."
:46:43
"Would you recommend
this film to a friend?"
:46:45
"Only if I was
friendly with Hitler."
:46:47
- These are alljust terrible.
- "Just stop. Stop already."
:46:49
"How would you improve
this movie?" "Arson."
:46:51
- "What would you say was the
best moment in the film?"
- That's the audience.
:46:53
It's not the critics,
and the reviews will be good,
and the publicwill get with it.
:46:57
Oh, yeah. "How would you
characterize the genre?"
"Early American Garbage."
:47:07
Well, I'm crushed
over the reception
the movie's gotten.
:47:10
I thought some of the reviews
were particularly scathing.
:47:15
- I hope Val's okay.
- That's not what
I wanna talk about.
:47:19
Okay.
:47:21
I got an advance copy
of the story that
Andrea Ford wrote...
:47:23
on the making
of the picture.
:47:25
She hasn't even
turned it in yet.
:47:27
She wanted
some comments from me.
:47:29
I tried to talk her
out of it.
:47:31
Look, Andrea Ford is
a cheap tabloid gossipmonger.
:47:36
I never thought
it was a good idea...
:47:37
having her hang around
on the set all the time.
:47:39
She said that Val Waxman
directed the picture blind...
:47:42
that all throughout
the picture he was a victim
of psychosomatic blindness.
:47:45
- Did I do wrong to deny that?
- Huh.
:47:47
He shot the whole picture
without ever seeing it?
:47:52
Otherwise, you would have
gotten the movie you wanted.
:47:55
She wrote that you knew about this
and you helped him hide it.
:47:58
Only the last few weeks.
