I’ve been through cold turkey and that wasn’t over acting Frank played that perfectly. Took me till my 6th attempt to get clean and stay clean and I’ve been clean since July 1999
That’s awesome you have been clean since 99. I’ve been through heroin withdrawals as well. I thought it would be easier to just end my life but thankfully I didn’t give up. Never give up!
@Charming Billy same here i thought about ending it. I dont think people realise how bad cold turkey is because some doctors equate it to the flu. If only it was like having the flu because when i have the flu i usually sleep through most of it but cold turkeying sleep is the last thing youre getting. Youre in tgat limbo of been to tired to stay awake but its impossible to get comfortable and end up like you have restless leg syndrome.
@@howey935 bloody hell, this sounds terrifying. i have bad enough time with insomnia. i'm lucky enough to prefer recreationals that aren't systemically addictive.
Always nice to listen to a well informed commentator who’s done his homework and prepared. No fumbling for names or movie titles or anything like that.
Sinatra’s performance of the heroin withdrawal scene is extremely accurate...like scarily so. That rolling off the bed while in the fetal position is EXACTLY what you do at the peak of it. Almost like Sinatra knew what it was like.
Yeah, for all of his bashing of method acting at the time Sinatra actually went method for that film and did all sorts of research at clinics and actually watched guys coming down off of heroin. From what I've read/heard his performance was actually pretty damn accurate
I agree, didn't seem over the top to me. I've felt that way after a heartbreak so I can only imagine what H withdrawal would be like. I think Reefer Madness is a better example of over doing it
The "brutal overreacting" part may be true for a lot of it.. But for him trying to kick heroin, he's 100% accurate in his portrayal of withdrawels unfortunately
The hand thing, his hand got hurt in the scuffle and that's something people commonly do when their hand gets hurt... How do you over analyze that motion but not realize what happened a second prior? I love Bill but he's such an idiot sometimes
Couple thoughts about this as a 22 year old whos favorite era in general is late 50s to late 60s i wish more my ahe appreciated the classics i have a huge film and vinyl collection and there were a lot pamela tiffins around that era they never quite made it but still were still known and beautiful they dont make girls like they did back then so many beautiful actresses most dont know about. Harper is one of those great mid 60s film that or hud are my favorite newman movies.
“The man with the golden arm” is an underrated flick about drug abuse. At that time, they didn’t do too many movies about drug use. The film’s director, Otto Preminger, often pushed the limits of taboo subjects that were prohibited on the screen. Another classic is “anatomy of a murder” about a r*pe trial.
McQueen did the thing with his hand to mean that he tweeked it a little when the pool cue was yanked out of it. Just to be clear, I love it the most when Bill is wrong.
@@ja3482 I actually blame the kids. Girl dads, for whatever reason, always get very weak and soft and more accepting of false realities. I've seen it with so many of my friends
McQueen did shit like that in his early days to make himself stand out. He did something similar with a shotgun slug in The Magnificent Seven. It even pissed off Yul Brynner.
@@redcaddiedaddie In the theater it's called "upstaging". That's because the background area of a stage is "upstage" and as you approach the front lip it's "downstage".
Tay Kitten Diaz.....it is - and I can highly recommend it! 'Harper' is actually based on Ross MacDonald's 1949 book 'The Moving Target' [which was the name given to the British film release] featuring a blatently 'Marlowesque' detective Lew Archer - although this was changed to Lew Harper for the film. It has some incredibly strong performances from the excellent cast - Paul Newman, Robert Wagner, Lauren Bacall, Arthur Hill, Pamela Tiffin, Robert Webber, Shelly Winters, Roy Jenson, Janet Leigh, Julie Harris and Strother Martin - and a truly brilliant screenplay by William Goldman. It's accomplished direction by Jack Smight maintains a snappy pace, with countless twists and turns and some wonderfully humorous dialogue between the main characters that even Raymond Chandler would have been proud of!
I literally right when I saw the first shot of that mansion, I thought to myself “that’s the same mansion as the one from The Godfather, right?” Then Bill Burr confirmes it like 2-3 mins later haha
I like Bill Burr most as a film reviewer. His comedy is good, but I can't get enough of his film reviews. he really gets cinema in a down to earth way.
Just that picture of the chick in a bathing suit top I knew it was "Harper" which I saw about five times at the show when I was around eleven. My allowance was fifty cents which was show admission for a great double feature. And they kept the same movies there for weeks.
I was in my mid-teens when Pamela Tiffin was at the height of her popularity; wasn't known for her acting, but G#D D*MN she was breathtaking- kept my 'teenage boy' hormones surging on overload!! Also Shelly Fabares, Tuesday Weld, Carol Lynley, & several others!!
Id like to tell ya Bill. That scene of "Brutal overacting" is pretty real if he was acting out heroin withdrawal. Some of it is the most debilitating, horrific and terrifying situation that any human can go through. Glad that I only had to do it once. And now I dont ever have to do it again. Anyway....its pretty realistic.
@@PuppyMonkeyBabyy You can do it, if your treatment team is competent, if you're honest with them and more importantly yourself, and have the same desire to kick the 'done as you did to get off black you'll be able to transition off.

Walt Disney's Holmby Hills home was purchased for the land, demolished and a mega mansion built in its place. Disney's earlier home in Los Feliz on Woking Way is still there...a beautiful vintage home!
Yeah, it's right after he makes his fortune and writes home about his life and explains the whole layout of his house. Side note: it was Steve Martin's actual house at the time. Hence, "the S shaped hedges".
Brutal overacting is a good description, however, that's not a bad distillation of what going cold turkey is like. I won't go into my own take on what it's like, but that was pretty spot on. Cheers Bill, always enjoy your take on things.
Check out House on Haunted Hill, an old horror movie with Vincent Price shot at a real LA home...as far as I know the house is still there and was designed by the same architect of the Guggenheim Museum.
Bill, your vids almost make my UA-cam addiction worthwhile. You know how to use this medium well. You have found where being a Hollywood star and being a disgruntled regular Joe overlaps. This medium lends itself to independent analysis which can be real delusional, weak and sad like hanging one's identity on arguing about a new Star Wars movie or commenting on beef between stars and comedians like everyone is the National Enquirer or some schmuck paparazzi. But showing old Hollywood is a good idea because by seeing how the social programming of what is cool is we can think about writing our own lives instead of just being consumers. I think there is a way to be creative and inspired by entertainment to be more of a character locally influencing and receiving as part of some kind of local scene even if we have to make that up. Acting or sharing social commentary as a comedian is connected to representing roles and experimenting with how they affect society beyond us. When I first did acid at 19, I noticed we're always posing like a mime without realizing it. We model behavior we've seen and integrated into our sense of self or we create our own moves perhaps but to communicate it has to be something understood by others. It would be nice if acting and stand up were done more locally for the purpose of therapy and a love for the work vs an attempt to become famous. There should be a new kind of hangout to produce content as a group of co-creators - we could make movies, have bands and just a local Hollywood meets the local type culture. This social media needs to develop into a real culture locally instead of us isolated.
Frank Sinatra on heroin withdrawal looks like me on coffee withdrawal.. seriously, I tried giving up and about 12 hours in I began to feel sick, blinding headaches.. my lower back began to hurt.. thought I was having a stroke... voice inside my head said ''you need caffeine'' and within minutes of having a coffee all my symptoms disappeared!! Ive never tried quitting since!!
Well I hope Bill does that handshake move in the Mandalorian, "Hey Mandy" and vigorously shakes his left hand. He has certainly immortalised puffing your cheeks out when firing your guns :), bold choice Mr Burr, its going to become a action movie trope before you know it!
I'm convinced the Reason why Mcqueen gave the Directors such a hard time filming Towering Inferno, with scenes that Mcqueen said he wanted to have more presence than Newman, was because of this film. To show Newman, look I'm a Big star now. The other thing i've just noticed is, Mcqueen, like this hand thing, had a habit of doing very subtle things unscripted to get more noticeable, apparently he did this a lot on Magnificent 7.
"Brutal overacting" I've acted that same way in the midst of terrible anxiety attacks, rolling around on the bed in a cold sweat with nothing but thoughts of doubt dread and despair racing through my mind, feeling like I needed to get up and move around and at the same time feeling like my muscles were trying to fold me into the fetal position, along with nausea, diarrhea and feeling like I was going to pass out. I imagine heroin withdrawal is similar to that just more intense and painful.
In "The Man with the Golden Arm" one of the main character's old pals from the neighbourhood is a "dognapper" who: steals dogs; gives them ludicrous names and sells them on (terrible!) and he asks him to look after "Killer" or "Ripper" (I think it was), while he runs an errand. One of the few moments of comedy in an otherwise quite gritty movie. If it's a black and white(B&W) movie, in truth: somebody liked it enough to save it. So many were lost through neglect; poor storage and because the film stock (Nitrocellulose) was not just flammable, but explosively flammable... a lot of cinemas lost that way too. One studio cleared it's shelves of "non-commercial" movies; another lost a lot in a fire... even "Metropolis" had to be reconstructed. There was one old movie somebody liked and it seemed to be about the concept of "karma". The plot was: that money had disappeared; the person who had the money would not say where and that was leading to legal complications, but he still wouldn't say. (spoiler alert) Turns out the man had given the money as a (legitimate) charitable donation; but he held the belief that if he made public his charitable action that it would lose him "karmic brownie points" (so to speak). A really odd concept, that I suppose I wish were true... and maybe it is? Anyway it survived; but I can't remember what it was called... set in 50's America maybe?! Anyone? I still love: "Cat and the Canary" (Hope and Goddard); "Oh! Mr Porter" (Will Hay); "I'm All Right! Jack" (Sellars); anything by Hitchcock and all the Ealing comedies especially "The Man with the White Suit" (Guinness)... so you can tell where I come from. Those gangster; street gang movies don't really do it for me; but B&W movies... so many gems; because somebody had to take the trouble to save them and they had to have a real reason. Lucky for us...
Harper had potential but doesn't keep the momentum. I share Bill's love for old movies in LA. That's why LA Confidential is one of my favorite pics. It captures some of that vibe. Love that shiii.
He shook his hand because he hurt it i.e. it stung.

Sinatra was nominated for Best Actor for that role.
I agree, didn't seem over the top to me. I've felt that way after a heartbreak so I can only imagine what H withdrawal would be like. I think Reefer Madness is a better example of over doing it
Ray Hairston LMAO “reefer madness” doesnt exist... a scare tactic term invented by the Busch administration to bolster the fake “war on drugs” scam
The hand shaking thing with McQueen was because the que hurt his hand when Newman jerked it out if his hands.
Yeah i thought it friction burned his fingers
I was more impressed by how quickly he drew his blade!
The "brutal overreacting" part may be true for a lot of it.. But for him trying to kick heroin, he's 100% accurate in his portrayal of withdrawels unfortunately

Where I come from the gesture McQueen makes means:''That could have gone wrong''. Makes total sense to do that in this situation.
"i put my hand on the hot plate, cool it off"
I thought his hand was hurt because Newman hit the pool cue.
McQueen was an attention hog. He often employed superfluous gestures to keep the audience looking at him.
from SA?

In "The Man with the Golden Arm" one of the main character's old pals from the neighbourhood is a "dognapper" who: steals dogs; gives them ludicrous names and sells them on (terrible!) and he asks him to look after "Killer" or "Ripper" (I think it was), while he runs an errand.
One of the few moments of comedy in an otherwise quite gritty movie.
If it's a black and white(B&W) movie, in truth: somebody liked it enough to save it. So many were lost through neglect; poor storage and because the film stock (Nitrocellulose) was not just flammable, but explosively flammable... a lot of cinemas lost that way too. One studio cleared it's shelves of "non-commercial" movies; another lost a lot in a fire... even "Metropolis" had to be reconstructed.
There was one old movie somebody liked and it seemed to be about the concept of "karma".
The plot was: that money had disappeared; the person who had the money would not say where and that was leading to legal complications, but he still wouldn't say.
(spoiler alert)
Turns out the man had given the money as a (legitimate) charitable donation; but he held the belief that if he made public his charitable action that it would lose him "karmic brownie points" (so to speak). A really odd concept, that I suppose I wish were true... and maybe it is?
Anyway it survived; but I can't remember what it was called... set in 50's America maybe?!
Anyone?
I still love: "Cat and the Canary" (Hope and Goddard); "Oh! Mr Porter" (Will Hay); "I'm All Right! Jack" (Sellars); anything by Hitchcock and all the Ealing comedies especially "The Man with the White Suit" (Guinness)... so you can tell where I come from.
Those gangster; street gang movies don't really do it for me; but B&W movies... so many gems; because somebody had to take the trouble to save them and they had to have a real reason.
Lucky for us...

Harper had potential but doesn't keep the momentum. I share Bill's love for old movies in LA. That's why LA Confidential is one of my favorite pics. It captures some of that vibe. Love that shiii.
Is that the same pool from Billy Madison?
That is not over acting at all
I've literally felt that way dope sick from heroin
That's incredibly accurate

Harper is indeed a classic.
Check out the Drowning Pool. Newman plays Harper again with a very young Melanie Griffith.
The Wild One.
Seconds, a 1966 psychological horror science fiction film by John Frankenheimer is one well worth watching.
That pool looks like one from the WATCHMEN Movie
West Side Story is great. Best soundtrack.
6:17 That’s Mr. Woltz's house from The Godfather.
That's what I thought!
@@samanthab1923 that's 'getting old'.. recognising elevator music and 50 year old movie!
J. J. 😂 what can I say, nice architecture sticks with me.
