  • After Ayoade on Ayoade comes The Grip of Film, the latest book on film from Richard Ayoade. Written in the voice of Gordy Lasure, a man with a distinctive taste for '80s macho flicks, this is a riotous A-W of film (Gordy couldn't think of a 'single goddam thing beginning with X, Y, or Z'). To find out more about what this book is, who wrote it, and what the hell is so great about Roadhouse starring Patrick Swayze, we spoke to Richard Ayoade.

    I've rarely seen such a smitten looking interviewer. He looks like he's one slip of reality away from his eyes literally turning into hearts.

    Wow, an Ayoade interview that didn't collapse in on itself. Shame no films in progress.

      He joked in his last book that he was "threatening a third", so I really thought there was one.

      ConspiracyJuice he recently wrote on Twitter that a third one is happening.

    I never want to meet people I admire, especially artists. But I would really like to have a beverage with Ayoade.

      I've had the pleasure of meeting him and he is very charming, though socially awkward, really can't see him being one for wishing to go for a beverage with folk.

      tobbaddol not good enough. I want one of him at my side without the guilt of kidnapping him from his current wife. is that too much to ask?

  • @CatCasual
    @CatCasual Před 3 lety +10

    And let me add: Ayoade's theory that 80's cinema is somehow responsible for the rise of the Trump cult (and Trump himself)...this is dangerously close to a conspiracy theory of my own regarding how little my generation has touted in what we consume (music, television, literature, films), in not asking much of ourselves and/or avoiding any real tax or challenge of our emotions and intellect. It became more cool to avoid the crippling charge of "being pretentious" by waxing poetic about the poetry-absent Die Hard movies or something of the sort. The steady lowering of the cultural floor...a laziness, an about-face to actual, quality art...might be an ingredient to the demise of civilization. Which I feel is very much underway, a la Devolution. (And I grew up in a trailer park in Oklahoma so, possibly, my resentment for where I came from has made me so anti-nostalgic, landing me here as the grumpy nerd that I am today.)

      ....but you get to hear from a very quirky, interesting and charasmatic man. You watch too much mainstream Tory drivel.
