Earlier this week Hunter Stephenson from /Film gave me an extensive Playlist Questionaire..Here's a highlight
/Film: You live in L.A., right? What is the definitive insider or industry movie? And feel free to choose an unrelated film that's a perfect metaphor/allegory.
Paul: I'm new to L.A. I've lived in NYC for most of my life. But based on my limited time here, I guess I'd say thatBeverly Hills Cop is pretty realistic. You come here as a young fresh faced kid from Detroit. Nobody wants you around, but you stay, you check in at the Beverly Hills Hotel, go to a strip club, make some friends, find some cocaine. And then shoot a guy in the head. Finally after you've done all that, L.A. says, "You know what kid? You're okay after all, you should stick around." And you say, "Nope, I'd rather hang out with Paul Reiser."
