    I wouldn’t have minded to see Bradley Cooper winning Best Supporting Actor for Licorice Pizza. He did an excellent job in the film. Thank you for the video Brandon, keep up the great work and take care!

    I'm kind of shocked Anderson used the "from the streets" line after Kevin notoriously tore into Magnolia. Might've been a way of saying no hard feelings.

    Love how you brought up that Bradley Cooper even played the male lead in the Star is Born remake, seemingly tying him and Jon Peters even more closely together. I gotta say, I really like the pacing and delivery of these recent videos! I loved watching No Small Parts when you first started putting those out, and they certainly have their own merit and reasons for their pacing, but these Back Focus videos still feel very fleshed out despite being more concise than those older videos like the Warwick Davis video. Anyways, great stuff!!! 👍

      Cooper had to get permission from Peters to remake A Star Is Born, and he caught a lot of flack for it later on because of Peters’s reputation. So, I imagine he had a lot of fun getting to play him as this deranged.

    Now I see what you were hinting at! No more Gas o in the Car o Stevo!
    I love Anderson, but I haven't watched this film nearly enough. Cooper is brilliant, the best I've ever seen him, and that truck on the hill scene...Goddamn!
    If you search, you'll find the most delightful clip of Anderson and Chris Nolan at a Q&A for Phantom Thread. I'd never have put those two down as pals, but Nolan loves Phantom Thread. He sat his family down to watch it with him. Nolan takes great delight in telling Anderson that since the film, the Nolan family call him Mr Woodcock when he gets dictorial at home. 'Will you tidy the room after using it?! Yes Mr Woodcock, right away Mr Woodcock! Anderson, being the goofy so and so that he his is giggling away as he listens.

    I was hoping this would be a more in depth performance. Jon Peters was one of those show business personas. Shampoo was modeled after him. He produced A Star Is Born. But I loved Eyes of Laura Mars, which he wanted for Babs but Dunaway was so good in it. It was such a New York City glamour thriller.

During the The Marvel Era, this all fell away. In the last couple of years, it's coming back. Maestro has so many elements that are about the art of film that I have not seen in so long. Maestro is supposed to be a biography, but it's not, it's about a marriage, it's about a relationship. Great films are about relationships. And how could you not give an Oscar for the make up in this thing? I mean, I'm sorry, there was a hate campaign against that movie that was deeply unfair. And, yes, I will die on that hill.
