he's hollywood.nsdorf: there is a reason that, for example, the hollywood style in the various ways that we've been chipping at the notion... there's a reason that it's had such an enduring appeal such a geographically vast appeal and it has something to do with storytelling. i mean, certainly with narrative closure... it's also inherently paternal. it basically says, we know best. we know how to make people look beautiful. we know how to tell a story. we're going to give it to you and you are going to watch it. we're in control. which is what you say to a six-year-old before he goes to sleep. a lot of movies put us on the knee of the filmmakers and say, "once upon a time..." and if you're good and if you listen carefully to the story not only will everything turn out well but you will be able to take the story with you to sleep. there is part of that. but haven't we gotten a little more sophisticated? i know you have made films where you've taken the traditional storytelling modes and yet, you've st

(harvey keitel) it's a film that hollywood did not want to make. quentin was going to give up directing the script, because of all the difficulty in raising the funding. and i urged him to direct it. i wanted him to direct it, because in the text his talent was so vivid to me that i felt he should direct it and i didn't want to do it unless he directed it. the way i write, i get the characters talking. and they just start talking to each other and i'm like a court reporter, just writing it down. and they just get it going. and so since this was basically almost like a play as far as like the way they dealt with each other, they wrote it. (quentin tarantino) this is my quickest script, i wrote it in about 3 weeks. (man) if i'd known how you are i'd never have worked with you. are you going to bark all day, little doggie? or are you going to bite? what was that? i'm sorry, i didn't catch it. would you repeat it? are you going to bark all day, or are you going to bite? i got involved in helping quentin with the casting, which an actor of my experience

little hollywood? ms. lee? so there is still confusion. be conservative, air on the side of exclusion, which is where i thought the land? >> yes, to all of the above. it is your call to make. it is fine if it is the basis of public testimony, but i would encourage you to err on the side of being conservative. this is not supposed to represent all neighborhoods, it is suppose to be ones where you have to recognize the neighborhoods intact in their entirety. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. mr. pilpel: to that end, i think all of candlestick is in 10, and i would add showplace square. mr. mcdonnell: again, we don't need an exhaustive list. it is actually even under 1%. all of that said, any objection to candlestick? silver terrace, a little hollywood, candlestick, spelled correctly -- mr. pilpel: out include civista valley. sorry. -- i would include at vista valid. sorry. mr. mcdonnell: any objection to the list as presented here? mr. pilpel: yes. mr. mcdonnell: ok. go ahead. mr. pilpel: ok. what are you proposing it is in? mr. mcdonnell: propose w

let me ask you about hollywood and the business world. it seems to me that the people on wall street, let's put it to the republican side, i'll stick it there, when they invest a republican candidate they want a better tax break. in a sort of perverted way, they should get a tax write-off. they're doing it for the money. you guys are doing it for cultural reasons. especially gay people are concern and do get a value and interest in terms of rights but that's what they have a right to anyway, i would argue. this is interesting you guys out on the coast do it because you agree with the president. people in wall street and business world and texas around there, they give money because they make money off republican politics. >> that's exactly right. and it's interesting but the hollywood community is only donor base, as you call it, that has no quid pro quo. we don't support a candidate because he might be able to do something for us. when you see the koch brothers throwing 20 to hundreds of millions of dollars into a pac, they're looking fo

. >> also this morning, president obama goes hollywood. we'll tell you how much cash he brought in last night mingling with a lot of a-listers at the house of none other than george clooney. >>> welcome back, everybody. a shocker this morning from jpmorgan chase, the nation's largest bank said it guessed wrong on a major trading bet and lost $2 billion in the past six weeks. the ceo blames "error, slopness and bad judgment" but says jpmorganchase remains profitable despite that loss. >>> not the case for the postal service reporting a first quarter loss of $3.2 billion, one billion more than the same time last year. it's running out of cash and without help from congress may default on health benefit payments next fall. >>> americans are spending more on mom this year. one survey predicts we'll be shelling out about 8% more on everything from flowers and cards to electronics like e-readers and tablets. on average we'll each be spending $153 for the holiday. >>> asian measures off after that bad news from j.p. morgan chase. tokyo's nikkei a

and still are the dominant force in hollywood within one way or another. it was a generation that had its finger on some very specific pulse. but i'd differentiate francis from lucas and spielberg who really were just kind of tapped into the american psyche. with spielberg, you see, it was a different thing. he comes from television. and we met in the early 70s. but he was a very different kind of person. when i turned 19, i made a movie in 35-millimeter called, "amblin." and that movie was seen by the then-head of t.v. at universal studios, sid sheinberg, who is now head of the studio. he saw the film, was impressed, asked me to come to his office. and he sort of bedazzled me by offering me this seven-year term contract and attempted to put me to work directing professional television shows. bill, step back this much. (steven spielberg) if i did learn one thing from t.v., it taught me to think quickly on my feet. to prepare, to plan, to know what i want to do when i get to work so i can accomplish the job. and t.v. for me wasn't an art form, it was a job.
