Despite fears for the future of film in the new, seemingly disposable digital era, there are still many auteurs holding on out there in the modern movie landscape. For example, there’s Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan and even Michael Bay (for, as director Tarsem said of the latter’s work, “You may not like it, but you know who made it”). But few directors are as instantly recognizable as Wes Anderson. Nothing happens by accident in a Wes Anderson movie: the camera moves are perfectly choreographed — sideways tracking shots are a specialty — and the sets don’t even begin to aim for realism. Clothes are tailored, hair and makeup is scrutinized all the way down to lipstick and nail polish, and music is key, creating a subtle, sometimes melancholy and always wholly effective emotional backdrop.
Late-Night Hosts Discuss Strike; Kimmel Talks About Retirement & Colbert’s Mom Dated Nicaraguan Dictator
30.08.2023 - 19:51 / deadline.com
“What would happen if five of America’s top 11 most-beloved talk show hosts all talked on top of each other for an hour? You’re about to find out,” said Jimmy Kimmel in the opening of Strike Force Five, a podcast from the major late-night hosts.
Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and John Oliver have launched the first episode of the Spotify podcast, which was named after their text chain.
It was an hour of random stories and jokes about the strike including how Stephen Colbert’s mother dated a Nicaraguan dictator, lawsuits involving their shows (hello Viacom and Google), how many of the hosts wanted to join the clergy and how Colbert and Kimmel were both in the running to be the announcer for Magic Johnson’s 1998 talkshow The Magic Hour.
“Would it be fair to say that in 2008 the hosts didn’t get along quite as well as we do?,” asked Oliver. “I know it’s an incredibly low bar but that was a sequence of dying marriages that they were engaged in.”
Kimmel was on air during the last writers strike, alongside David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and Craig Ferguson.
The ABC star said that all of the other hosts were “mad” that Letterman and Ferguson were able to go back first with their writers as a result of a side deal between Letterman’s Worldwide Pants and the WGA.
Meyers pointed out that podcast listeners would really feel the absence of writers and researchers, which all of the hosts have on their late-night shows. “You’ll realize how important it is for us to take care of them,” he said.
Kimmel revealed that some stars had offered to help his staff during the strikes.
“Ben Affleck and the despicable Matt Damon contacted me and offered to pay our staff for two weeks, a week each, they wanted to pay
