book one redone - Coldbacon

CB: What about Coldplay? How come you didn’t use Coldplay in
Rushmore? Igby Goes Down had Coldplay. They’re really popular.
WA:
CB: Songs played a key role in both Bottle Rocket and Rushmore.
O: Some people would say that video is providing that.
CB: What are we talking about?
O: But I think Bottle Rocket is fairly rare as a movie that truly has found a
second life on video.
WA: Video definitely provides that.
CB: Wait, what happened to Bottle Rocket?
WA: The sad thing is that watching a movie on video is not the same. And
also, when something is discovered by people in movie theaters, it’s
discovered by people who are all together, and there’s a sort of feeling of
an event about it. And when it’s on video, it’s like something is being
discovered in the library or something. It’s like having a second life in
public libraries. It’s just like individuals, and it’s less of a... We can’t
participate in it the same way.
CB: And this is especially interesting because did you know that two
years from now, Landmark is going to show Raiders of the Lost Ark,
which is one of your favorite movies, on the big screen, at midnight? It’s
going to kick ass.
O: Listen—
CB: So hey, back in high school did you ever used to sneak out of class
and hit Andre’s Tea Room right next to that Baskin Robbins? That place
kicked ass. I think the Baskin Robbins is gone, though. I think it’s a
Krispy Kreme or something now.
