He’s the apex of the dysfunctional family triangle, with the other two points being Martin Brody and Matt Hooper acting as siblings trying to win the affection and attention of their unfeeling father. Let’s see what everyone else thinks.ĭaniel Silver: Like the shark itself, the character of Quint in Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film Jaws functions as a catalyst, whose primary purpose is to elicit reactions and cause disruption. I don’t know if it’s the greatest deleted scene ever, but it captures why I love that movie. Director Paul Thomas Anderson admitted in the director’s commentary that he chopped it because of the movie’s swollen length, but you can tell he loved the scene.

(My favorite: the Colonel happily clapping with his jailbait girlfriend sitting next to him.) Here’s a rare case where the deleted scene adds to your enjoyment of the movie AND would have improved the movie. In less than three minutes, every character gets captured by their reactions to Dirk winning “Best Actor” for the second straight year. I’m glad Crowe couldn’t get the rights.īut cutting that Boogie Nights scene? I don’t get it.
It’s practically a 9-minute short film – you can enjoy it without seeing the actual movie. In fact, you could argue that it’s the perfect deleted scene: it increases your enjoyment for the movie without detracting from the movie in any way. I think it would have derailed the movie’s momentum it’s just too long. Crowe couldn’t get the rights and couldn’t include it in the movie… which wasn’t a bad thing. The scene makes you appreciate that song, and Led Zeppelin, and the movie in general. In a vacuum, “Stairway to Heaven” is a better scene: William wants to explain to his mother why rock music means so much to him, so he plays her “Stairway to Heaven” with two unidentified women and his sister’s ex-boyfriend sitting in the room as the “jury.” The ex-boyfriend steals the scene. My two favorites are the “Stairway to Heaven” scene in Almost Famous and the second porn awards scene in Boogie Nights. What were they thinking? How could they cut that? I LOVE THAT SCENE. But there are those rare times when you can’t figure out the reason. The truth is, deleted scenes are almost always deleted for a reason. And it needs to make me think, “I can’t believe they left that scene out of the movie, it’s inexplicable.” It needs to take some of the characters from that movie to another level, OR, it needs to cement why I liked those characters in the first place. It needs to come from an iconic movie, or at the very least, an iconic movie to me. Comfort is key for me and it’s all I wear when I’m at home.Ħ.We know that you have a pair of fancy flops.Bill Simmons: Here’s what I want from my “greatest deleted scene ever.” It needs to stand on its own as an entertainingly rewatchable YouTube clip. My one piece of clothing that I can’t live without would be a good pair of yoga pants. I am obsessed with so many shows: Orange is the New Black, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Bates Motel, Orphan Black, Luther, Nashville…I could go on…ĥ. What is your one piece of clothing or fashion Accessory/item that you can’t live without? Some of the outtakes made it into the blooper reel on the DVD so you can see them there.Ĥ.Do you have any television shows that you watch now? They would constantly make each other laugh during every take. The funniest moments for me were watching Kristin and “her boss” from the store improvise their scenes.
My favorite cast member would definitely be Kristin Wiig since my scene was with her but all the other cast members were brilliant and hilarious. I wasn’t sure if my scene would make it into the final cut of the film so I was thrilled when it did.
