Things I learned from the panel at the Hal Ashby tribute/"Harold &
Maude" screening in Beverly Hills last night.
1. Judd Apatow has a daughter named Maude - after the greatest female movie character of all time in "Harold & Maude." That makes me forgive his signature move of adding whiny bonerkiller ladies to all his flicks. A little bit.
2. Seth Rogen watched "Harold & Maude" while writing "Superbad." He said it motivated him to add feelings and emotions to his two-hour dick joke of a movie.
3. Jon Voigt is long winded.
4. Diablo Cody was there too, but I don't think I learned anything new from her. Except that she has a short pixie haircut.
5. Cat Stevens sounds exactly the same live as he does on the soundtrack of my youth. I also learned first-hand what it's like to actually burst into tears when Cat Stevens er, Yusuf, played "Trouble."
6. Bud Cort made a surprise guest appearance at the end of the screening. He told a cute story about Vivienne Pickles (his onscreen mom) not wanting to hang out with him because she ,"never associated with people she worked with."
And the Snacker du jour of the night was Winona Ryder! Dressed like Lydia
Deetz, in a long black skirt and black top,
my favorite waif ever sauntered by me as I paused mid-conversation
(with my mouth probably totally agape) to watch her walk by. She was by
herself, accompanied only by a cigarette. I love her.
*If you've never seen "Harold & Maude," I would que this up on the Netflix immediately. You will be blown away. Guaranteed.
