- Todd Solondz promoting "Happiness" back in 1998 (note the Olympic emblem on the NBC logo.)
I apologize for the incomplete interview and of the relatively low quality video--it's 20 years old and was taped off of broadcast analog TV before the digital switchover, so it wasn't high quality to begin with! - Komedie
The fact this guy got on TV to talk about his art is crazy to see, in the way the world is now, truly different times.
This is the first time I've seen Solondz smile.
I love Todd Solondz. So slept on.
I absolutely love that
Conan cameo'd in Solondz's Storytelling
Solondz is so lovely here.
Todd is really funny. Great timing. The audience was getting it. and Conan makes that possible, he's the best interviewer when it comes to setting his guests up to succeed and be funny
I have this on VHS. It's one of my favorite talk show appearances ever. Top 5 for sure.
God I love him so fucking much.
Thank you sooo much for this!!!!
why is David Cross wearing a Todd Solondz costume?
Thanks for uploading this. I also have on video a later interview where he's promoting Storytelling. One day I figure I will get around to ripping and uploading it. If people are really eager to see it, reply to my message and maybe I'll become more motivated to get it done.
Do it
Please
I'd like to give it a look, too
i'd really like to see it!
Yes please!
Brilliant man
Love Conan so much.
he’s a star. god i love him.
He’s brilliant, very impressive
I miss this era of Conan O Brien
I love Solondz, but one thing that annoys me about him in interviews is whenever he’s asked about the films that influenced him, he sidesteps the question and says Mary Poppins or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Does anyone know an interview where the director actually mentions films that were important to him, or at least that he likes?

What if those films did influence him
He mentionned Last Tango in Paris as a movie that impressed him
Storytelling.

I’d be afraid meeting this guy. Sure he knows cinema but he comes across as a bit Polanski, Nabokov, Salva-ish?
...the fbi should just arrest this dude honestly
He hasn't done anything wrong though. It's not like kids are actually getting hurt during the making of his movies.
Depicting something in a movie is not condoning it. The people he depicts in his movies exist in real life, if in an obviously less cinematic way. There isn’t anything wrong with depicting darker sides of humanity.
@@jessechuff I mean yeah that’s all fine and good but nah not buying it..Hollywood is already exposed as a child sex trafficking ring..I doubt that a dude with a weird mind like this is excluded
@Sledgeman66 ...nah I’m good😂. I don’t find that type of shit entertaining. Do you tho I don’t judge..my judgment is more on the creators..like a lot of time and money goes into movies...and THATs what you spend years on?? Movies about pedophiles and perverts? It’s just weird to me
@@iDewThis4Yu Dude, I’m not even a huge fan of Solondz myself (the only film of his I like is Welcome to the Dollhouse), but even I can recognize that people have different tastes for entertainment, and that depicting something on film =/= condoning it. Obviously, the things he depicts in his films are effed up, but as others have said, it’s pretty close to real life. His films are meant to make the audience uncomfortable. And if he wants to portray fictional stories in a realistic way rather than some typical Hollywood-esque glamorized way, then let him do it and let the people who like his films enjoy it. Learn how to think about things with some nuance, dude. You have your own tastes, they have theirs. Most adults can separate reality from fiction (although, judging by your comment, you may not be one of them). I’d even go so far to argue that directors who are willing to depict disturbing content that’s meant to be a commentary on real life are probably not in that pedo ring you mention. Usually, the creeps are out making the big blockbusters.
