Puppet your way into our portals for a lot more than 15 minutes as the Next 173 Project does some Malkoviching. This pic is remarkably creative and it's often high-larious. It’s also one of the weirdest, saddest comedies of the past 30 years…or perhaps ever. There’s more than a little darkness and pain, which doesn’t always jibe with those explosive larfs. Director Spike Jonze and one of the world's most talented screenwriters Charlie Kaufman were both making their first movie here (what a opening act!) and they never do QUITE balance the tone. Still, any movie that’s this unique, this openly horny and this gutsy about most of its casting choices is always going to pique our interest. So throw a can at an actor’s head and soothe your traumatized chimps (and also hunch down low and cheat on your spouse and try to score yourself some immortality and…) as we crawl our way through the mind of Malkatraz.

Director Spike Jonze is somewhat of an Oscar anomaly, successfully turning oddities like Being John Malkovitch, Adaptation, and Her into auteur films embraced by the Academy. This week’s episode focuses on perhaps his riskiest and most personal film: 2009′s adaptation of children’s classic Where the WIld Things Are. The film was expensive and divisive, loved … Continue reading "036 – Where the Wild Things Are"

'Her' is in incredibly powerful, emotional film that hits the highs of both the Romance and Sci-Fi genres. First we discuss Director Spike Jonze's career and the technical elements of this masterpiece before reflecting on the plot (16:00). Later on we compare and contrast 'Her' with a movie that has a surprising amount in common: 'Blade Runner 2049' (47:20)! Music courtesy of Vernon West www.facebook.com/vernonwestmusic/

Today we talk about Director Spike Jonze and frying toaster pastries.

Director Rian Johnson discusses his new film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with fellow Director Spike Jonze. As the eight installment of the blockbuster franchise, the film continues the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as Rey develops her Force abilities with a reluctant Luke Skywalker while Finn, General Leia Organa and the resistance continue their battle against Kylo Ren and the First Order.

Director Greta Gerwig discusses her new film, Lady Bird, with fellow Director Spike Jonze. The film follows Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson and her relationship with her wildly loving, strong-willed mother, who works tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father loses his job. The film looks at both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between mother and daughter.

Director Spike Jonze's science fiction romantic comedy-drama film "Her" centers on a man who develops a relationship with an intelligent computer operating system. It is the winner of the Best Screenplay at this year's Academy Awards, and our movie reviewer Laiming will explain why it deserves that prize. Reporter: I like director and actor Spike Jonze. His 1999 movie "Being John Malkovich" is on the list of some pretty thought-provoking films that I would offer to sober movie fans, while the "Jackass" franchise, which he had a hand in writing, is a favorite of one of my colleagues, who always takes it upon himself to cheer people up. The true talent and versatility in Spike Jonze have surprised us again and again, and his latest offering is his 2013 science fiction and romantic film, "Her". Like "Being John Malkovich", the Oscar-winning "Her" is full of hidden messages not immediately fathomable. It follows a divorced man who develops a relationship with an intelligent computer operating system, who calls itself Samantha and has a beautiful voice, supplied by Scarlett Johansson. The OS Samantha starts by learning and imitating human emotions and eventually evolves into an intelligent being. In the same process, the extraordinary couple's relationship also goes through ups and downs. The story explores a brilliant idea not infrequently repeated in science fiction. I am sure there is at least one Japanese or South Korean film that center on human-AI romance, but I am not sure their screenwriters have included the computers' unlimited learning abilities in the equation. Spike Jonze's screenplay challenges viewers to deliberate on the future of human-AI relations under this premise, and the conclusion is so cheerful. But that's only because the prospect of mankind isn't cheerful, according to the director/screenwriter. A large proportion of the population in the story is spiritually cooped up in virtual reality: the monotonous coloring almost everywhere in the setting suggests the world no longer pays much attention to the physical world. And people don't seem to know how to express their feelings other than reading love letters published for sale by professional writers like our lead character. This forms a sharp contrast to the intelligent Operating Systems that are good at learning, feeling and expressing. Scarlett Johanssen's voice gives much dimension, variety and emotions to the computer AI that it sounds much more human than its human user and lover, and such is the regrettable future that the director has envisioned for us. "Her" is a fair warning to human's inability to feel and express and handle real emotions, as well as the irresistible sense of solitude brought on by an increasing addiction to a digitalized life. Lead actor Joaquin Phoenix and story writer Spike Jonze have skillfully convinced us about the malaise, but the cure is not likely to be found anywhere in the modern world.
