Total Recall - The Schwarzenegger Effect
00:40:46
TWEETABLE QUOTES “The people who finances it [Total Recall] hated it. It’s just that they didn’t want to lose working with Arnold.” (04:49) “Anything that I felt strongly about, he [Verhoeven] would not try to force me to change.” (09:46) “They tried to fire me on ‘Alien.’ They tried to fire me on ‘Total Recall.’ And they couldn’t on either case. I showed them that I would not use my power against them. I had a powerful connection with Arnold, but I would never put them in a position where Arnold’s on my side and he’s gonna overrule you. I wanted both parties.” (26:40) “They were so talented; they could do effects that work today as good as any movie ever because they were so skilled at what they did. So, it gets down to if you have the right people, it’s much more important than any technology you’ve got.” (28:52) “It seems like the idiots of the world conspire to stop people who have too much vision.” (32:56) 🎙️🎙️🎙️ |

Total Recall - Early Days
00:38:29
TWEETABLES “Alien had changed everything, not just in the sci-fi horror genre. It raised the bar in quality special effects, excellence in story-telling and sheer cinematic terror. And, of course, it made Sigourney Weaver an overnight sensation.” (00:27) “Nothing you can see will awe you when there’ve been so many special effects. You can’t thrill the audience any more than that, because you can never do anything more amazing than you’ve seen in other movies.” (15:04) “I knew that I was never gonna make a deal unless Dino would give me a credit with him. I didn’t want it instead of him.” (24:54) “All of a sudden, when I had nobody but Arnold [Schwarzenegger], he did back-to-back the first ‘Predator’ and ‘Twins.’ And he became number one box office in the world.” (35:25) “And so between Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and [Paul] Verhoeven, well that’s ow the movie got made. I had the star and I had the director.” (36:34) LINKS MENTIONED Robin’s Website – http://www.robinmaxwell.com/ Robin’s Twitter – @TheRobinMaxwell https://twitter.com/therobinmaxwell 🎙️🎙️🎙️ |

00:14 – Robin and Harry share their favorite moments and stories from the season thus far TWEETABLE QUOTES • “I just saw it as I wanted the mood of Jaws but in outer space.” (04:39) • “This rubber suit was the most amazing suit I’d ever seen. It was so organic and so convincing. I knew right away it’s gonna look incredible on-screen cause on stage even when you knew it’s a rubber suit it scared the shit out of you.” (07:00) • “And then I was so excited that I got one of the biggest scares that I used to sit with a chair at the front of the movie theater whenever they’d do that scene and watch the audience jump back.” (10:56) • “The directors they had were good but they weren’t good enough to live up to Ridley and Giger’s work, to equal it.” (22:44) • “Spielberg said it’s better than Jaws.

Alien - Nostromo, A Very Bloody Birth
00:33:23
Highlights • “They were all not-name stars. They were all proven successes as character actors, but none of them could be prima donnas. But halfway through there became an incredible crisis with the whole cast. They almost all quit.” (14:28) • “And so I said, “The movie doesn’t seem to be working. It’s slow and plodding. It’s the right version of the script but the pacing is off. It’s funereal instead of suspenseful.” (10:17) • “And from then on, they were really scared of that monster. They’re performances showed it.” (25:08) 🎙️🎙️🎙️ |
