Mike O'Malley

Welcome back Dennis and Callahan older phone calls for just a minute we've got -- important things to do. The may have been a writers' strike at a Hollywood that did not keep. Our pal Michael O'Malley from do a lot of stuff supplement Mexico pretty handsome he's in other heads of George Clooney meet day it was Eddie Murphy adds up and coming up a movie on Broadway.

Yeah if I apartment and let it looked on me and football player with an -- reporter and I if you if you looked at check your blackberry during the movie you will not finally made it -- heads a movie about the early days of football -- when they just in the leather helmets about face mask its stars George Clooney. It stars Renee Zellweger and John Kaczynski local guys -- come on talk about the movie before it starts with. John kaczynski's office of course and a and I can tell -- that George Clooney. -- worked on the -- run nine days and he's an unbelievable guy he's the greatest guy. He is the nicest guy and is -- order awesome and I at once seen. Where I'm. In between have one line in the middle of this being love scenes sort of it's you know they're arguing they're talking in the -- always in the big like in the Chicago Tribune office one line in the middle of the way ago. XE got a phone call I mean it's really it's he's going to and so what's great about that is that your monthly it is 1920s scoop reporter and my all acting training I've ever got goes completely -- you know what's my motivation what are my supposed to do with my objective in this. Your objective -- SCMR O'Malley is to not mess up this team between the two actors making twenty million dollars each it's it's like. Do this long -- that was like two pages long and right middle of -- in this crucial moment I have my line in the pop out and I never panicked -- like that it is an update ya know up politics. Oh they'd probably 1819 weeks I screwed up once has it lets see some what's on the road for you. -- lap -- on yes the year you know my own show I would just. You know make mistakes let's go back to actors you watch him go talk about the scene for ten minutes. Q and do this tactic in the back -- Q okay action and you roll. And they're trying to get that you work on the -- for about -- half two hours. And and you just don't want to do anything to mess that needs in the line wrong what I. George -- it's a great guy he's just completely. Policy doesn't have an ego 'cause obviously he's a movie star he must -- he's just. You know -- what he's pocket -- not shoulder surfing you know he's not looking around to see he's just he's really interest it. And people like that would everybody I swear idea he was never on his blackbird wants. You know I mean he'd he'd just is very attentive to the work he's doing and just a really really nice guy yeah I mean you can tell people who. Singh was raised right but he is just a nice guy just you know I think he's very very appreciative about a success I've met him several times and he's always been like that. Even before he was you know big and famous season and now that he has does that still occurred you.

When you've been and so any movies and every time you're in them that'd so much overkill you mentioned eighteen or nineteen takes -- effort to page scene at the Mets all the minutia that they do just make things look right the movies don't need to take that long and cost that much to make it make them much. Quicker much more officially like what.

You did you last year they could make movies like you made yes to yes just actually -- and do all America we're just continue to show up right at the box office probably better you wouldn't have movies like no country for old man trying to be so artsy yeah you'd like them well sock did you see there will be blood yes he. I liked it better than I like to -- much out of them no country country for old man its third pressing move. But Josh -- he's agreed to. God I was wrote put Josh -- and you've seen in in the side people here we leave you ovaries to spoil the area yet it's. Asked him well I you know to your points and I think that you know off often there is overkill but there's also the idea if it takes you. If if you have a schedule and it takes you four forever to use setup polite to get things ready yet you might as well take. The time to get it right because once you're done and once you're in the editing room. You also never now it's like it could be a lighting problem that could be sound problem you know even without though sometimes it's that you get into the editing room and you're like man I wish I had another take that you don't mean that's. But but clearly this some directors I mean this guy David fincher who directed. You know the zodiac movie directed panic room directed fight club he's notorious for like 75 that's the I mean it's ridiculous but they get to a point where you know. -- I think about the lines you just doing it that's just the style I guess people want the money and.

Lighting situation you know does that exterior shot at a restaurant and spend spend all night midnight to -- you and usually we weren't where we were child right filming in a innate capital -- the capital -- They changed the pictures on the wall. And wished and a set the cup the lights skyscrapers punch out at night and the lights are on top of the -- record happening now they look at the whole neighborhood walking in the -- necessarily the best when we sit.

There and we did the scene and then when they're connected the -- to connect to Matt Damon and Greg tug on you stuck on you or by the P you know. And as a person coming up and spraying the champagne bottle for comments they would cost conversation again at every break -- did you do bothered again union it is exactly don't spread about if you can't move stuff that does not don't move the props. Don't move the set. -- where you are.

It's a continuity this way I mentioned before about you noticed this ever Thomas -- two of the movie channel moved -- obviously -- the stop is a few movies like that -- he's in a million -- to a stop. I stopped in godfather just before he went to visit the movie producer try to get the role for Johnny yes and and he brings -- to the horse out need to look at the score 600000 dollar raise them but put about the stat and its beautiful horse -- splash on his forehead. Five minutes later when he wakes up in the -- bottle -- he pulls the sheet back and there's Khartoum there's no whites -- while.

That's accused the other part of that this is the thing this is why is -- million takes is why you take your time because is so much crazy stuff or I'm on the movie set and you can't. I mean why there movies why they're bad movies right it's not because. It's not because that people intentionally going -- you have great actors and great directors come together in the movie just doesn't work. It's because it literally is like alchemy you put these elements together you're trying to get golden and you're trying to I think some of the control that you're talking about a baby you are you don't -- literally that worked well.

Tina it's simple solution to a from the killed two horses and -- yeah exactly let them I was -- I always wanted this when -- a bad movie -- good actors in his -- narrow and courses analyze this Anderson and you -- Today no halfway through this -- in this thing that we do you think about when they screen at the end afternoon that it sucks when it's.

Arena you know they know it's it's not you know I don't I think -- very rare amount of movies that. I mean I don't think necessarily making money means that movie's good or bad that you could tell either works or does -- on broadly going to be good I'm always great start directed by our local guy deadlock when I grew up here in Boston and that's about. The Stanley in Boston in the the trials and tribulations that they go through after one of their uncles passes away sort of how everyone that community deals -- Ism is a lot of comedy in and also drama in it and it's stars but local folks Amy -- from San alive Joe Macintyre -- lead in the movie is great now allies to dish to from Watertown. Will Barnett who's married and people learn and Michael know him -- wealth. I play a priest who has been brought. -- good -- and what's interesting is that Dave asked to do the movie and of course. You know I grew up -- group grew up Catholic and I knew a lot of cool dude. Priests and I I one of the reasons I took this parties because you know he he was a guy who the movie's really about. Not quitting -- you have you know something that you really want to do -- gets difficult and and not quitting in this apartment movie were my characters. I plays older brother -- really can you know take him in the seat of the pants and Salem. Listen you think I have won that quick this I mean because of the broad brush that it would yet because of all of the criticism that the church has gotten for everything that they've done -- is all deserve so it's contemporary it is but. And that being said I think there's a lot of good out there who. Have really been there for people -- certainly in this community who. Our -- with that rush to a resurgence account man Friday and one -- as well until the cardinals fall in not. Covering it up and move and -- the bad guys around it's all his fault it is it is fundamental flaw I think. In in the way in which if in the in the belief system that that. Just because and can be forgiven that means that what happens in the circumstances of what happened with the priests that. They wouldn't you know do it again and that's the thing I think it's great you know since can be forgiven that people can -- new leaf -- ago you know religious issue -- is so. -- on Broadway referred to the great white where are brought odds are all of this probably in south -- what happens is is this guy. This character that play by Joey Macintyre decides that he's really having a difficult time coping with the death of his uncle but there is away which. Irish Catholic families grieve and joke and he wants to get that in and put on paper and people sort of collect. In Kolb. And NC a play about how they live and so it's not about all you got to write a play and it's going to make it on Broadway and you're going to be the next Arthur -- just about making -- trying to get you know people don't understand who you would trailer -- what's important right now -- it's in the -- literally you. If you drop your popcorn and go to pick it up you miss by a nine -- we're -- list of movies shows he's in conflict -- Michael -- yeah yeah I'm pretty -- yes that's the show are created by the guy created nip tuck Ryan Murphy and the stars -- Karen moss you know from the matrix movies and Joe finds who's in Shakespeare in Love. -- And what are you I am I -- I played Oliver Platt role now that I say -- now moving into my Oliver Platt FA off I actually play a part.

Where it's it's it's a guy that I think a lot of your listeners relate two he's he's sitting with Joe finds in a country club. And he's talking about how you know easy as egg white -- he's like this is ridiculous read an egg -- on why are we doing this like we have high cholesterol -- well you know -- every man since Adam it didn't stop them from mistake every now and then to remind them that there was still a guy. He's like you don't we have at my house. Significantly schedule. Makes me feel like a woman let me tell you so I'm supposed to do the dishes. And and and cooked dinner on Mondays and Thursdays -- you know my father my father played golf. Three times a week in when he got home dinner was on the table warm. With no complaints and and you'll find is Carriker system these again your mother hated him for -- the brain washing talking it's this generation of women they want us to feel bad about being men. And I -- want to talk about how you with all the sort products are in the food nowadays you know on the -- yeah over the matter taking in twenty times the amount of estrogen we need one. Why Brett arms crying and that's why okay yesterday -- All assorted chemicals that we if it is going to be one sex left it's going to be checked. That.

You're ability to sit here and talk just you know man to -- person to person flies in the face of what we see in the red carpet Mike and I wonder if you have a theory about this I've never so embarrassed for Hollywood. As to when they come down the red carpet on the Oscars and they are asked to stop and -- two minutes extemporaneously with Joan rivers or anybody else -- And when they occasionally a Leno or Letterman Selig to narrow he -- like this will Farrell. Kind of an empty soup when he's out of character if it appears to be empty vessels the -- and unless lines are written. -- for them they remember them a commitment to it to memory and present them as if they don't get who they -- or they still gets -- express themselves with their own thoughts.

I don't know I don't know if that's true because I don't I don't watch the red carpet shows so much but I but I do think that. What people are afraid of is saying the wrong thing -- me think about how somebody says something off the cuff I remember when -- And and so what happens is is -- is then if you don't engage him right so if you don't give them anything. Then they turn on you know so if you -- given. DMZ -- quarter of their line you are giving you Hollywood you're saying I'm above this. I think your marketing your coverage that are going to talk about your stuff the honest -- they're -- they're just try to do their job right got to remember that. But I think what happens is is that people locked and the red carpet their ass for questioned -- yes. And they meal you I'm telling you they nearly was stuff that is completely unrelated like coop who major dress I. I thought our talent what I thought should I can't tell you how many times like aren't you you know walking on the red carpeting you're doing an interview for something else and then out of the blue. They're going to ask you questions about some scandal or something else completely unrelated why they do that so they can grab the clip music in the E Hollywood true story about. You watch those shows -- why is. Why is Mark scores AZ have an opinion about Lindsay -- and drinking problem because of the red carpet they just ask him and you know he doesn't. He doesn't want to you know not answer it and I think that's why people more cautious these people on carpet that's.

Mind -- he came to him talk about Eliot Spitzer in the five game yeah Klein number you know you'll have to leave the in my arm is around you shoot something this afternoon yet. And yesterday we have a -- for on Broadway which opens where and Boston it's here today at the Fenway regal cinemas and opens march 14 check you over -- on our way we know he has to go on to six -- it is right if that's true more like a mile an -- afford it -- handle going
