Stardust Memories Page #11

Synopsis: Renowned filmmaker Sandy Bates is in a professional transition, directing largely comedies early in his career now wanting to direct more serious movies so that he can explore the meaning of life, most specifically his own. Most are fighting him all along the way, including the movie going public, who continually tell him that they love his movies especially the earlier funny ones, to studio executives who are trying to insert comic elements wherever possible into his current movie in production. He reluctantly agrees to attend a weekend long film festival of his movies. Despite the throng of requests for his time, he is further able to reflect on his life as he addresses the questions at the post screening Q&A sessions. He also reflects specifically on his love life as his current girlfriend, married Isobel, shows up unexpectedly, and as he starts to fall for festival attendee Daisy - at the festival with her Columbia professor boyfriend, Jack Abel - who reminds him of Dorrie, a neuro

me, you're just crazy about me.

You just think I'm the most

wonderful thing in the world.

And you're in love with me, and you're...

And despite the fact that I

do a lot of foolish things,

cause you realize that down

deep, I'm not evil or anything,

you know, just sort of floundering

around, just ridiculous, maybe.

- You know, just searching, okay?

- I don't think it's realistic.

Now? This is... Now you're

gonna bring up realism, after...

This is a hell of a time to...

I know one thing, that a huge, big, wet kiss

would go a long way to selling this idea.

I'm very serious.

I think this is a big, big finish, you know?

It just killed me. Did you feel that?

I think it was great.

I just can't believe the stuff

he gets into. It's so deep.

All that stuff about life and how

everybody should love each other.

I mean, you know, he's telling

us heavy, original things here.

He's very heavy.

He's always been heavy.

What did you think the

significance of the Rolls-Royce was?

- I think that's... It represents his car.

- Really?

- I'm fat. I look...

- Fat? Come on, you're not fat.

I am. I mean, it's just so ridiculous.

I'm gonna have to go on another diet.

And I tried to play the role sympathetically,

but the role was just too thin.

He said to me, wear this

mustache. It'll be funny.

So I listened to him.

- You looked so beautiful.

- Thank you. But you can hear me?

- Can you hear my English?

- Your English was fine.

No, it was fine. Did you find...

By the way, I wanna ask you.

Did you find when you did, like,

kissing scenes with him, did you not...

Did he open his mouth with you

and wiggle his tongue around?

Yes, he did.

- And he never lets you go.

- It's the most irritating thing, right?

It's funny.

It's amazing, Rash. From

this he makes a living?

I like a melodrama, a

musical comedy with a plot.
