It's new. It's two hours. Should be some Magnolia talk in there. Tonight at 8:00.
I'm really looking forward to this. He's done so many great movies with so many great directors. He'll get to talk about working with Scorsese, Kubrick, Anderson, Crowe and others!
I don't get Bravo. This sucks so bad it blows. Someone should like, totally tape this for us and stuff, and include it on the PTA DVD if possible.
God dammit, I have a mandatory hall meeting tonight at 8, fucking bitch of a CA.
so tape it
Uhhh, don't they play these like a million times when Bravo doesn't feel like playing paid programming? You don't even have to worry about it, it'll be on again soon. I know I've seen the Sean Penn one more than once.
They repeat it at 11 pm.
good point
just finished. it was a lovely program.
wow. what a great interview.
tom cruise is the man. there's no question about it.
the interview was stellar. my only complaint would be they spent too much time on the top gun/risky business days. i wanted to hear more about his later roles. from jerry maguire on it was kinda rushed. he didn't really even say much about kubrick/EWS, which is disappointing.
to our delight, magnolia definitely got the best round of applause from the crowd. he called PTA PTA! hah.
anyway, good stuff.
i wish that he would have spent some time on Tom and Crowes relationship and Vanilla Sky. I thought it was a good interview but the audience questions always kinda blow
...speaking of the "audiennce"...at those shows....what are they?... actors...or film geeks.....or....just funny looking fans....?
i donn't quite get it...
they're actors/students at a university.
i love cruise as well. a few notes
1. i cant believe that the story with his father so CLOSELY parallels his own real life.
2. i cant believe how stubborn he was to admit that he drew in any way on his real experience to film that scene. he avoided it by going into an 8 minute explanation of 'doing the homework, living the moment' and REFUSED to implicate his real memory having anything to do with his performance in the scene.
3. funny how they didnt mention Days of Thunder, meeting his wife Nicole, working with her again on Far and Away and then finally on Eyes Wide Shut which they mentioned but breezed the fuck through.
he must be real fucked up because he refused to admit anything about having a tough childhood or that it sucked being moved around alot. or that it was tough being poor. he REFUSED to admit it. he would skate around it. instead of just going 'yeah, it was', he was like "it was a challenge". or "it was an adventure, it was always interesting". i had no idea what a rough upbringing the cruise had and how he must have a steel shell around his heart to prevent his world from crashing down by using all these positive spins on things. i feel bad for the cruise. i realized that 3 of his flicks are in my top 20 of all time magnolia, eyes wide shut and jerry maguire. and if i didnt limit myself to one per director id be tempted to put minority report in as well. i love that movie.

is the show always at the same university?....(i guess somewhere in LA?)..
that would be cool to be apart of that audience...you get to be innnvolved in a Q&A..w/ some A-list talent.....which is nice.....
from my experience from watching these show(albeit somewhat limited)...when they get to the part at the end where they ask questions there is
always..that one white guy w/glasses .and that silly grin on his face who always asks the dumbest question.....
and lastly ....the host kind of freaks me out.......

seriously. i think he's got a major bi-polar personality disorder thing going on. i came up with this theory when he grew the beard and started acting and looking exactly like this friend of mine who is wacky. he puts the exact same spin on everything, never acknowledging that sumthing is wrong. oh and he is the most helpful person in the world, always trying to please everyone. yep that's tom. holy shit they hav the same name too. seriously.

the avoidance of personal questions in an interview -- very Mackeyish as well.
Quote from: NEON MERCURYand lastly ....the host kind of freaks me out.......
If you think the real thing is crazy, you should check out Will Farrell's impression if you haven't already.
I want to see this interview.
it's on right now.
Quote from: OnomatopoeiaI don't get Bravo.
First off, he acted just like Mackey, it was really weird, I'm starting to agree with whoever said it that maybe that was his best role because he actually is that cocky and stuff, but I dunno enough about Cruise to make that assumption.
I dunno, I didn't think the interview was too great. I fucking hated hated HATED how the audience clapped after they mentioned every goddamn movie, I fucking hated that, I hate fucking audiences, they are such mob-mentality pieces of shit, like herds of sheep. Besides that, I thought that between the masturbatory glorification of all his aides and all the people he's worked with, all the clapping, and all the clips they showed, there wasn't much of an interview. I felt like I was reading an IMDb biography. He just kept saying, this is great, that is amazing, blah blah, no personality, no insight, I didn't feel enlightened. And that host needs to not have a mustache ever.
i lerned 3 things from the show....
tom likes black colored clothes.....
the host moves like he has strings attached to him......
and brian de palma wears new balances.......
Another part I didn't like is when Tom Cruise called himself an artist, I'm not saying he isn't one, I just dunno if that should a self-prescribed term. Because art is something that comes out of something else, I've always one would be an actor who is good enough to produce art, and therefore, an artist. But maybe my semantic logic is out of place.

Have you never watched the show before? It's basically a "This Is Your Life" filmography with every guest. I don't see what's wrong with the clapping. If you're there to see a guest you admire and have praise for, wouldn't you want to show your appreciation and how much you enjoyed their work in a particular film with applause?
I just wanna know, with all the people to have as guests in upcoming episodes, why Jay Leno? Are they gonna just talk about "American Hot Wax" and "Collision Course" for an hour? Or maybe do a 'filmography' of all of his appearances in movies with the characters watching "The Tonight Show" on TV...
Lipton: And after you were seen in "Wag The Dog" being watched by Robert DeNiro, you were next seen on TV in what movie?
Leno (nodding): "EDTV"
*Audience applaudes*
Don't forget the Dorito's commercials. Never forget.

I've never watched the show before. If every interview is like that, I guess I don't like the show in general. I assumed a show about actors would talk more about techniques of the individual, but I was wrong. My hatred for applauding comes from the fact that first off, audiences seem to feel obligated to do it, moreso like they can't live without doing it, when all it does is really piss me off and waste time. If they appreciate his work so much, applaude at the beginning and the end. Shit, he should know they appreciate him because they showed up to the interview. They don't need to show it ever minute. Secondly, when they're interviewing a guy like Cruise and they name off every movie he's done, we're talking 20-30 rounds of applause, I mean, does this not seem in the least bit ridiculous? The show is about Tom Cruise not about Tom Cruise's fans and how much they can please him by applauding. The more I think about it, the more I truly hate the way they did that show. I'll stick with Charlie Rose.

Once again, I don't see what's wrong with it. Applause is a form of appreciation; of gratitude; of respect. You mean to tell me, you wouldn't clap if you were there? I think that's a terrible insult and rude to the 'artist'. And they did appreciate him attending the interview. It was shown through their applause. I'm sure some members were doing out of politeness when certain films were mentioned, but they are made up of students and their applause is the best way to show that they enjoyed a great performance and/or movie for whatever film was announced, and many were enthusiastic about certain films that obviously had an impact on themselves. I don't get how appreciation would be shown by clapping just at the beginning and the end of the show.
dude, inside the actors studio is fucking weak, that's why ppl hate it.
the audience claps at everything because they're phony, they are there because the show is phony.
in theory ppl shouldn't clap to be phony. the worst offender is sumthing like The View, that get standing ovations when sumone shares a cooking recipe. but that's why these shows are generally accepted as suckful.
Quote from: themodernage021. i cant believe that the story with his father so CLOSELY parallels his own real life.
no shit. he talked about that in the beginning, and i was like, uhhh, hellooooooo. even he mentioned that when he first read the script, he went to paul and was like "come on man, did you know about this?" crazy. makes the scene all the more potent.

and what's the big deal about clapping? jesus, lighten up. if anything, it shows which of the works is the audience favorite. like magnolia got a huge round of applause. what's wrong with that?
i'd take john lipton's interviews over the dry, dull, ever-interrupting charlie rose any day of the week.

I understand
why people clap, but my point is it isn't necessary. Obviously if you're at a Tom Cruise interview, you've seen his shit, you like his shit. My point is if it's an interview, let it be an interview and have the audience sit there and enjoy it. I watch to see and hear the thoughts of Tom Cruise, not a bunch of students try to jerk him off with their applause. The whole interview was shallow, it didn't dig deep at all, I could've come up with the questions and answers based on a simple understanding about Cruise's life and movies.
I understand that applause shows what movies the audiences like, but my point is I don't care what they like. They dedicated way too much time to the audience's applause. How many times can I say: I watch the show for Tom Cruise, not his fans. I'd rather watch a dry, dull, boring, sleep-inducing, yet incredibly honest, open, and insightful than the Actors' Studio's veritable circle-jerk.
I completely agree with P, most people applaud because they're just being phony as hell. I don't see how anyone can feel that 99% of applause is actually needed in any event.
Here is another part of the interview I remember-
James Lipton: Matopher, where does that name originate from?
Tom Cruise: I couldn't tell you
James Lipton: It's Irish, right?
Tom Cruise: Yes, Irish, it originated in (yada yada yada)
I don't understand why he said 'I couldn't tell ya,' perhaps just a way to be cool. I also think James Lipton himself is a crazy man. What business has he to dig into another man's life, sucking all the facts out and spewing them on to the table. He also obsesses over award nominations, even if it's an MTV trophy. I have to say that those dead-pan, serious professor types in general rub me the wrong way with their attitudes. Maybe he's a nice man actually, I'm just bitter because I skipped lunch today.. I was planning on going to Burger King all weekend, but during luchtime something else suddenly came up. Now I'm sitting here at 4PM and I'm typing this, because I have to wait another two hours before it's dinner time and I can go and eat at Burger King.

Speaking of the View, and people being phony, did anybody read the new Maxim magazine interview with Norm Macdonald? Fucking hilarious, if anybody can post it (probably in another thread...).
Norm McDonald....
he's the guy who did Death's voice on Family Guy before Adam Carolla, right?

So if you understand why people clap - because it is a form of appreciation and respect - how is that being phony if the sentiment is genuine? Like I said, I'm sure some where just being nice, but if you are there to see a performance, a concert, whatever, you will most likely be there because you want to be and like the 'artist', etc.
You could say kisses and hugs aren't necessary, granted it's for more personal and initimate situations with people, but that's a form of love and appreciation and respect, same much like applause.

:wink: Just kidding, Mac!
yeah, deep inside, all of us want to have the Encyclopedical knowdlege of da Mac.
I think this is one of the best Inside the Actor's Studios I've ever seen. He's such a great actor and he has plenty of experience and intellegence.

Athough sometimes could be interesting to hear someone's background, yesterday I was bored to tears, who cares if his grand grand grand father came in the 1800's?

God does he?! I find that part almost unbearable, some awards are certainly good and everything but the Mtv's? What's that suppossed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Sometimes I feel Lipton doesn't make the interviews to cinephiles but lately to the general public, I'd love to know what kind of audience sees that show, and I don't think the average moviegoer does (with Cruise as guest that could be an exception though), the people that sees him are those who care about films and the process that takes to make them, anyway my point is, wouldn't you prefer to have questions regarding the filmmakers process of guys like Kubrick, PTA, Scorsese, Crowe, Spielberg, etc.?
I mean really, how much time did he give to EWS? The frigging shoot was for about 14-15 months, I'm positive he can find plenty of interesting information or good questions about the filmmaking process of the greatest filmmaker of all time!!!

Have you ever watched a comedian? How many times does the audience clap at those moments when you're like "Why are they clapping? That wasn't very funny" Like EVERYTIME a goddamn standup is like "So yeah, I just got married" or "I've got three kids" or whatever phrase about his family or whatever. Or when they make a reference to a previous joke or some current hot topic, the audience claps because they think they're supposed to assure the comedian that they're paying attention.
Likewise, with the Cruise interview, I quit believing that the audience was applauding out of appreciation but had started clapping because they had clapped for every other film he named. There became that obligation to clap, otherwise it'd feel weird to not clap for a movie, it'd be awkward. I'd much rather have had the interview be like a string concert, saving the applause to the end, but it's not like that, so I'll never watch the show again.
To compare to hugs and kisses, your friends over, he/she goes "Hey I just went to the store and got some cookies." Do you say, "COOKIES?!? I love cookies!" and then proceed to hug and kiss them? Well that's how I feel about audiences, I don't give random hugs and kisses to my friends in the middle of a conversation, unless something bad happened.

I totally think that's the only reason the interview was as surface-level as possible, because it's Tom Cruise, and not everyone's gonna understand filmmaking. I guess Bravo's trying to up their ratings by dumbing down their programming.

Different situation. Cruise was not on stage performing. Anyway, if a comedian doesn't get a response to his jokes, then he's a very bad comedian. The audience for that wants to laugh and have a good time.

That was a terrible analogy. But I'll take up slack:
It would be if your friend made cookies for an entire group of people; slaving away on them for a long time to give 'em the perfect taste and look, etc. Then he/she presents them at a party or gathering. You and the others like them so much and appreciate the time and effort he/she took to make them for all of you that you hug/kiss/shake hands for doing what she/he did.

It's not a different situation. It's my point. Audiences applaud for no reason. I'm finished making that point.
It's not the stupidest analogy. It has everything to do with my point. The cookies are analogous to Tom Cruise movies ("things people like" could be a further extrapolation of the analogy). To react to someone mentioning cookies in such an overzealous fashion, as was done in my analogy, is unnecessary. Likewise, the simple mentioning of one of Cruise's movies should not be met with applause. Wait for him to get done baking and then applaud.

But maybe they really, really love Cruise's work? I can't imagine too many showing up who despise this man, so why shouldn't they applaud?
Like, if Kubrick were still alive (or whoever your favorite director is) and on The Actors' Studio and you were there, you wouldn't applaud and show your appreciation?
Besides that, if my memory serves me, not every movie received the same amount of gratitude.
Quote from: ranemaka13so why shouldn't they applaud?
Because it wastes time and takes away from the interview.
I totally agree with those who were discussing the fact that the applause appeared very disingenuous. That's why all the awards shows are lame. Its 4 hours of clapping and self indulgence.
Lipton: and Tom one of your greastest pieces of work was in that little known
commerical where you promoted Kitty Litter!
(Audience rises in standing ovation)
Cruise: Yes yes, thank you.
You also have to remember these students are aspiring actors which they're going to have to kiss everyone's ass. They might as well get used to it now.
i hate show business.
.....ITAS...thats inside the actor's studio....is actually a funy show ina way....
from reading all of the posts here some say its silly to clap...some say its not silly to clap......i think it is not silly to clap..and it shows admiration....if i was in that audience i would clap....to (which both hands.... :shock: .....but whats is funnny though...is that since this is ::speaks in an arrogant conceded voice::."inside the actors studio hosted by the prestigious lipton"......i find it funny that when they do clap kinnd of lashes out aginst the "prestigue" of it all and makes it like a high school graduation ceremony...when the popular kids' names are called ...everyone goe ape-sh*t.....
the show would serve better if it wasnn't thrying to act like a snobby exclusive club......did you guys see those people in the audience..... :roll: ...damn....i wouldn't even cast them as even extras in deep impact or something......
ITAS mocks itself.....[/i]
Quote from: NEON MERCURYand makes it like a high school graduation ceremony...when the popular kids' names are called ...everyone goe ape-sh*t.....
hahahaha great point...but I hate what you said about Dave Grohl :x
I really liked Tom's character portayal in Magnolia so much that I thought it was his best performance IMO.
Benecio and Willem Dafoe gave excellent interviews on the ITAS.
Will Ferrell's SNL impression of James Lipton is very funny if you are familiar with ITAS and he adds a strange twist to Lipton's interviews.
