Classic Video: “I’ll Show you Out of Order” – Scent of a Woman

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

Marked as the final scene of the entertaining film “Scent of a Woman”. A remarkable speech by Pacino who delivers amazing lines like “I’ll take a flamethrower to this place.” and “This is such a crock of shit.” He’s a blind man so he simply sits in his chair for 5 minutes and chats with the full assembly of private school boys and the faculty. And he’s got them in the palm of his hand as the cliche goes. Some interesting reaction shots by the boy he’s protecting, Charlie (Chris O’Donnell), and the boy, George Willis Jr., he needs to take down to protect Charlie (a very young Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays this role. Go back and watch this film from the beginning. Hoffman has some terrific moments.) Charlie won’t rat on George because Charlie has a moral code. Ironically not the code he learned at the big private school…

FULL DETAILS OF SCREENING:

LIFE AFTER DEATH? – SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE, 50min., India
Directed by Iqbal Chand Malhotra
The most intriguing enigma of modern India is the disappearance of her most dynamic and daring freedom fighter, ‘Netaji’ Subhash Chandra Bose, in the middle of August, 1945. Though the goal of a free India was achieved in 1947, there was no trace of the man who had wanted this most passionately through armed struggle; inspired millions to contribute to his war effort and enthused thousands to join his Indian National Army, to fight alongside the Japanese against the British-Indian Forces in South and South-East Asia. Even 77 years later, the mystery stands unresolved with important documents in Russia, France, the UK, and even in India…

GOODBYE, SAM, 29mi., USA, Dark Comedy
Directed by Michael Dufek
After being caught up in an unexpected love triangle, Sam must find out who she is on her own.

From Michael Dufek:

I always wanted to make a film like this. I first loved the idea of an extremely flawed protagonist who just can’t seem to do the right thing. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? From writing the first scene to the finished edit, it took me a full year. I actually started writing the first scene on my down time when I was PA on a bunch of sets.

Classic Video: The Carsenio Hall Show – Saturday Night Live

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

It’s the Carsenio Hall show, with your host… Carsenio! Aired 05/18/91

Was it a coincidence that Johnny Carson stepped down as host of the Tonight Show after 29 years just three days after this segment aired on Saturday Night Live? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But this even making the airwaves on Carson’s own NBC network was a bit shocking. I was only 15 years old when this very funny SNL skit played and I even understood what it meant. Johnny Carson was going to be very pissed off by what he saw.

Carson had a lot of power back in the 70s and 80s. He was doing a nightly show that pulled in fantastic ratings, and it really didn’t cost all that much to produce each show. The guests were plugging a movie or something so they didn’t cost anything. The studio audience watched for free. And the studio was already…
