...DEWITT: Yeah. I think so. Cimino was trying to paint Vietnam as a moral hell, but he did so at the expense of an entire race. It was quite a feat to make all the "Gooks" look alike--they don't, you know. It's powerful as hell, but there are too many improbabilities, and it's very disturbing morally. I think it will do for the United States in Vietnam what Gone With The Wind did for the Confederacy in the Civil War. In some ways, The Deer Hunter may be the Gone With The Wind of our time...
...DEWITT: Get Out Your Handkerchiefs. About on-par with Cousin. Cousine: real lightweight. Maybe I could pick the ten best movies of 1978...I don't think I've seen ten movies in 1978. Terry Malick's Days of Heaven was wonderful. There's Dolby for you. And camerawork--Zsigmond again in places, and Haskell Wexler. Believe it or not, that movie taught me a lot about cinema...about compositions, how to use a moving camera, color...That's the best movie of the year, better than Malick's Badlands, too. His best. I loved Brooke Adams. Real odd, distinctive...
...DEWITT: Yes, but not as much. That was a pretty good movie. I think people came down too hard on it after Pauline Kael wrote that ridiculous rave--the one that got plastered over all the ads. Philip Kaufman has a witty visual style, but the ending was a bummer. People in San Francisco are getting a little too mellow.... mel, if you will. Everyone...
...DEWITT: Anything with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. You think I'm joking, right? No, I love those Hammer things. Horror of Dracula: erotic as hell. Fangs into big-busted women in low-cut night gowns...Dracula's a fun guy. They're bringing him back in a new movie with Frank Langella. I snuck into the theater when he was in Boston with it...hated the production, but Langella was terrific-the most cuddlesome vampire ever to suck a jugular. Laurence Olivier will be Van Helsing-I'm gonna be first in line. Then Werner Herzog has remade Murnau...
...DEWITT: You question with the truculence of many drugged Republicans. Why don't you walk back to your car? There's more in Boris Karloff's monster in Bride of Frankenstein than in Interiors. God, what a wheeze-bag bore. I was embarrassed for Woody Allen. Oooh, were those actors acting. Oooh, spilling their guts out into the camera, "I'm so empty I'm so depressed I've got so much anger in me Watch me crack up Boo-hoo isn't life depressing Look at those waves I'm gonna walk into the surf Whoosh whoosh crash splash...
