"This is bad. Bad for movie stars everywhere." And by the end of the scene you realize along with Eddie that Hobie's the smartest man he's seen all day.
Goodness, yes. After all, if the writers start asking for fair pay and control over their own careers, the movie stars won't be far behind. Eddie liked Hobie because he does what he's told. Even if he's told to change his entire identity to sell a picture.
I love how mannix realized that Hobie would be a great ally as soon as he offered to help with the suitcase. It was probably the only genuinely helpful thing he heard that day.
Movie direction and script aren't as sharp, convincing, heartfelt and perfectly timed as other works from the Cohens. But the actor portraying Hobie definitely shines, he's believable in his cowboy posture, smarts and patriotism.
I always wanted a sort of "Hail Caesar" continuation with Hobie as one of the main characters... And I just realised that "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is that.
3:16 I lived in Hollywood for ten years. The part of this clip that takes me right back to being there, is when he is waiting on the street corner for the “bananer girl” Waiting, in front of an outrageously beautiful home, on a steep hill, right up the road from downtown Hollywood. Bored. With nothing going on. WAITING for something to happen. That’s what it felt like there..every day.
Time - late 1960s or early 1970s. Story - Hobie and that actress got married. She is now a main actress in some TV series while he, after a nasty accident, got a job similar to that of Brolin's character
i just can't believe how the coens manage to convince clooney to essentially play himself as a dimwitted champaign socialist lol. maybe he really is that lacking in self awareness.
0:01 they’re shooting this scene at Vasquez Rocks Park, outside of LA about 30 miles. Your probably recognize it from the Star Trek episode where Kirk fights the Gorn. Or the beginning of Blazing Saddles. You can go there. It’s free. Drive right to the pointy rock and park your car. It looks exactly the same… except for that tree he swings on. That’s a prop they brought in. There are no trees there at all.
Budd Boetticher was out at Lone Pine looking for the right spot for an upcoming scene. He found it on a low rise and pointed it out to his cameraman. Who joined him, walked around a little and picked up a little dust, revealing a metal stake in the ground. Where they placed the camera back in 1941 for "Western Union." Also starring Randolph Scott.

Underrated movie and Underrated performance
Agreed!!

@@vbrotheritawow, you sound like you know what you’re talking about….lol
The dinner scene with Hobie and Karotto singing together is great too.
I Always watch this , i'd love a whole movie like that one he's shooting with the acrobatics and stuff

And I just realised that "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is that.
damn you just read my mind.
Rick Dalton (if that's who you're thinking of) is a much more toxic character than Hobie Doyle. Hobie reminds me of Link in "Encino Man."
@lemorab1 yes, he's a more toxic version but since OUaTiH exists, we might not get a "wholesome" continuation for Hobie character.

Thanks for sharing. That's a fascinating reflection.
The whole damn movie should've been about hobie
i think spacing out his presence gives him an elusive feeling
Would that it were so simple…
Coen Bros have had a few projects like that lately. Buster Scruggs was the same.

This is why I think his Han wasn't bad. He wasn't trying to be Harrison, he was being Han. Meanwhile, Childish Gambino does a Billy D impression.
"Well, you just never know about an Extra." lol
"This is bad" I can't understand how the Coens grab such subtle, hilarious moments, but I love them all
i just can't believe how the coens manage to convince clooney to essentially play himself as a dimwitted champaign socialist lol. maybe he really is that lacking in self awareness.

No Gorn yet. That would be about 15-20 years after that western movie was shot.
the scene with ralf fiennes is one of the funniest scene.....
"It's... complicated."
“Would that is ‘twere…”
Hobie is the Big Lebowski’s Donny character in this movie.
Hobie knew what was up.
Hobie is pretty much Rick Dalton, but a bit nicer fella..
*feller
Just remember... Disney (the rat) leaked that he need 'acting lessons' while the Hans Solo movie was in production.
Ok? Am I supposed to be mad at someone here? Weird point to bring up.
There are so many actors who have acting coaches on set, it was a minor detail that was blown out of proportion.
Hans Solo: A German Star Wars Story
I'd look at the extrees.
They built a, drawin' room. 🤨
The meta humor in Clooney being a dim witted commie is great
0:44 helena bonham carter cameo
Hobie is basically young Ronald Raegan.
Oh please shut up.
More like young Rick Dulton, I am just unable to see Hobie and Rick as 2 separate characters
@haroldjoseph8296 no u
Roy Rogers or Gene Autry.
What? Their careers are nothing alike.
