By playing himself in his debut feature 'Real Life,' Albert Brooks set the stage for a career of ruthless self-examination.
One of the funniest moments in Brooks’s SNL shorts is when his daughter wanders into shot and he has to call security on her. “That’s my daughter,” he says as she’s led away. “You won’t be seeing her again.”
This is also playing in Alamo’s Time Capsule 1979 series. So far I have tickets to see it, The Deer Hunter, and Stalker, all for the first time.
I’m imagining you watching those three back-to-back-to-back and I’m trying to figure out the best order.
They’re spread over a few weeks, but would make for a very long day back-to-back! Maybe Real Life as a sour amuse-bouche between the two epics?
Now I'm imagining Dr. Warren Yeager, Nick Chevotarevich, and the Stalker all gathered at a table in a Saigon gambling den.
Just make sure you're not tired already going into STALKER. You'll need all your powers of awakeness to get through it
"It's just a decision. I'm making them all the time." is a quote from Real Life that I think about way too much.
One of a kind. What a gift.
