    I had the great pleasure of interviewing Malcolm McDowell for Reality Check TV at an SF Bay Area Film Fest where he was screening a new film and getting a lifetime achievement award of some kind. He was doing a really long talk with a print journalist which had me thinking he might not want to do another. And in fact, he asked me "How long will this take?". I BSed with "Maybe 10-15 minutes?", and after looking at his watch, he said OK. We ended up talking for nearly an hour or so, and it was glorious. I think he warmed up to me after I asked him which of his many films he thought didn't get the recognition it should have. After that he relaxed and I know he also liked the fact that one of my favorites among his pictures was 'Time After Time', when he met his wife-to-be Mary Steenbergen and played the protagonist, HG Wells instead of the "bad guy". it was also shot in San Francisco, so he reminisced about the experience of making the film in the City. It was a fabulous interview where we bonded and he even teased me a bit, and he signed my giant poster of 'A Clockwork Orange' with the inscription "Viddy Well". Watch for a re-edited version of this TBA on our Reality Check TV UA-cam page.

      I actually enjoy Bill Maher's show and agree with him more than I don't but his need to dominate the conversation and always be right about everything in these longer interviews is so off-putting. Mark Maron used to be a little like this but at least he is genuinely interested in people and their lived experiences. I often feel like Bill isn't really interested in what anyone else thinks about anything.
      It is really apparent in this interview. Malcolm is correct many times but Bill insists he is correct and in the case of "Shoot the Moon" claims he saw it recently. I'm English and I honestly think Malcolm knew he was wrong but was so polite he decided just to let him "win".

    • @youknowwho-
      @youknowwho- Місяць тому +3

      Was also wrong (and Malcolm right) about the release year of A Clockwork Orange.
      Bill is a smart guy, but he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He's also often the "prick" that Malcolm called him here. Not always, but often enough that you have to wonder: what the ...? (e.g., telling Fogarty to his face, unsolicited, that Suzy Q was a lousy song and trying to explain to Penn Gillette how magic works.)
      I really like Real Time and think Bill's an excellent host of that show. Of this show, not so much. I've got to REALLY like his guest to want to wince through one of these Club Randoms.

I waited until I was alone with him and made it clear it was the first and last time it happened to me. Sort of an "I'm an actor but I'm also a man" thing. His eyes got wide. Last time it happened.

      @@cptpepper7731 Thanks for your assistance, Mr Helper, we know what a conversation looks like, but when you persistantly cut off people in the middle of sentences, or intentionally redirect a conversation its called "interrupting." That's why people complain. He interrupts. And it IS an "interview" we you invite a legend to your home for a "conversation." Bill is a huge Beatles fan and for the first time on this show he had someone who was THERE, in the Cavern in '62. If Bill's not interested in that era, or simply unknowledgeable, he simply redirects. Its consistent, and its annoying. He barely talked about Clockwork, nothing about working with Kubrick, and has never seen "If...." or "O Lucky Man," or a half dozen other important projects because he's unfamiliar. He said it himself, he's all "suck my di@k and get out." Its annoying because its a huge missed opportunity. But it sucks because he gets great guests, obviously does zero preparation, then tries to fill a long format with getting wasted and pretending it's "just a conversation."

    Great episode. McDowel is sharp, knowledgeable and has an artistic sensibility. Loved the Beatles discussions! I don´t think Lennon ever called himself a working class hero, even though he of course actually grew up pretty poor. But in the song he´s sarcastic when he´s singing "a working class hero is something to be". Lennon is questioning the concept of what it means to be a "hero" within a system that exploits and oppresses. The song suggests that the idea of a "working class hero" is a constructed myth used to pacify and control the masses.

      My intro to long movie scenes that allowed an actor to move through a set without saying a word and yet conveys most of what you need to know about a character is seen in films from the past. Kurosawa, "Yojimbo", "Rashomon", Ingmar Bergman, "Wild Strawberries", "Persona". You can't dismiss an actor or film because it's before your time. Mr. McDowell was saying that we need to keep our minds open to other ways of doing and looking at things. Just recently watched Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times". Talk about misogyny, gender and cultural misappropriation this film has got it all, but I put myself in that area. It's not one of his best films in my opinion , but what he had to say about class, the wealthy, the poor and abandoned, leaves you with food for thought. Bill needs to listen more to some of his wise elders. We never got to heard about Cagney.

    Shoot the Moon is a 1982 American drama film directed by Alan Parker, and written by Bo Goldman. It stars Albert Finney, Diane Keaton, Karen Allen, Peter Weller, and Dana Hill. Set in Marin County, California, the film follows George (Finney) and Faith Dunlap (Keaton), whose deteriorating marriage, separation and love affairs devastate their four children. The title of the film alludes to an accounting rule known in English as "shooting the moon" in the scored card game hearts.

    Malcolm became a star practically overnight with A Clockwork Orange in (1970--'71) followed by 'O, Lucky Man' (72--73). The guy got his start with two major artist/autuers, Kubrick and Lindsay Anderson. Both films are now ranked among the best of the 20th century.

      Was wrong about the Beatles albums with cover songs, too.

    Great show and quest. The video recommended by McDowell is very funny. Thanks for the laugh!

    Just let Malcolm talk already! He has a brilliant story about Peter Sellers which I thought he was going to tell, but Maher kept interrupting him with half-assed jokes. Mahers ignorance about movies and belief that Peter Sellers and Dudley Moore were in the same comedy group was embarrassing too.

    Paul McCartney did acknowledge that the violin sound in Psycho was in Eleanor Rigby. I liked Hitchcock’s TV program probably because he had less time but those shows were fantastic

    Very disappointed at Bill, Malcolm twice brought up A Clockwork Orange, and Bill didn't ask anything about that movie, a cult classic that left people in a traumatic state of mind, you had 1.5hr to discuss inside information about what put Malcolm on the map & how was it to be directed by the great Stanley Kubrick-
