The Guest SELECTOR Program’s second week provided a reunion of sorts
as David Robinson graced fellow NYU Alumnus Nubs and Tooda with this
seminal film. With the bulk of The Crew scattered across the globe, it was
fitting that only ex-New Yorkers were watching, as the film has its characters
leave NYC to lay low in LA. Art further imitated life as the opening shots of
clear skies and calm seas in San Pedro, CA mirrored the beautiful night we
enjoyed for this screening.
Hot on the heels of the well-received ‘Strange Brew,’ the Guest SELECTOR
Program is now two for two as this Nineties classic engaged the small crew
and provoked a long discussion after the screening.
The film’s stellar cast were almost all new to the Movienight screen. The
Oscar Winning Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, and Chazz Palminteri all appear for the first time in our (unofficial) canon.
Next week marks the end of our Guest SELECTOR Program as Wiener’s Guest will pick the final film, despite Wiener remaining on the road.
“And then he showed these men of will what will really is.”
