1X1: NUMBER 2: THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE

Send us a textFriends of EddieThe second 1x1 feature rounding out Season 14 and, chosen by Jack, the film is THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973). Directed by Peter Yates, whose career TGTPTU is unlikely to cover in a future 4x4 despite having Krull and Bullitt in his credits, TFOEC is an adaptation of George V. Higgins' inaugural novel and notable as a unromanticized depiction of crime in artistic response to The Godfather, the Puzo book and Coppola film each preceding, respectively, the book and movie versions of TFOEC by one year.  Higgins would take issue with the book as his debut novel. The former deputy assistant attorney general claimed to have written and burned 14 novels over 17 years prior to TFOEC and would go on to author over 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction before his fatal heart attack in 1999, but none with the impact of his first. As seasonal guest host Jack points out, nearly all the dialogue in the film is as it is on the page, and the pages are dripping with dialogue that creates the setting and action for this ironic story of “friends” who double-cross and live less than glamorous lives as Irish mobsters and criminals in Boston.  Yates populates the film with faces, faces that we don't see much anymore, distinct faces and every one telling a story, from the titular Coyle plated by Robert Mitchum who earlier in this life reluctantly left the assembly line to be an actor to actor Alex Rocco who starred as Moe Greene in The Godfather and helped Mitchum meet some of his old criminal friends whom Rocco had to leave behind after he (the actor Alex Rocco) was held for questioning in relation to the murder that kicked off the Boston Irish Gang War of the 1960s to James Tolkan before he'd lost his hair a decade prior to portraying Principal Strickland in the Back to the Future movies and Detective Hugh Lubic in the Cannon Films classic Masters of the Universe.  For this episode, everyone did research: Jack and Thomas pair off for book report; Ryan covers the career of Mitchum; and Ken covers Yates and laments how now Hollywood lacks hacks as well as provides a new shaggy dog with The Pals of Charlie Brown. Make sure to wipe your prints clean on this one before listening with a friend. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Témou svetoznámeho románu Maria Puza je gigantický rast a koncentrácia moci newyorského podsvetia a jeho styky so slávnym spevákom a filmovým hercom, ktorý nesie neodmysliteľné črty Franka Sinatru. Tento román položil základy spisovateľovej budúcej literárnej slávy. Krstný otec, hlavná postava, je vodca tajnej organizácie, no ako človek je sympatický a svojim spôsobom aj spravodlivý. Zo svojho sídla na Long Islande spravuje obrovskú ríšu, podsvetie, ktorému podliehajú stávkové kancelárie, odborové zväzy, hazardné herne, pašerácke organizácie a skupiny vydieračov. Najmocnejší a najbohatší Američania sa pred ním trasú, lebo jeho vplyv siaha do všetkých oblastí amerického života - od polície a tajnej služby až k finančným magnátom. Dej románu je rozvetvený: sledujeme tu osudy chránenca bandy, slávneho speváka, priebeh i stroskotanie viacerých manželstiev, životné úspechy jednotlivcov a ich sklamania. A tak sa v tejto „americkej ságe" prelína svet najmodernejších technických zázrakov s feudálnym svetom násilia a krvnej pomsty - neprikrášlená a autentická tvár Ameriky, napísaná so znalosťou prostredia a zmyslom pre gradáciu deja. "Puzo bravúrne charakterizuje každú svoju postavu, rafinovane snuje zápletky. Človek nepustí tento román z rúk, kým ho nedočíta. A ťažko zabrání, aby sa mu o ňom aj nesnívalo." - Gerald Walker, New York Magazine Preklad: Tatiana Ruppeldtová Audiokniha: Krstný otec Autor: Mario Puzo Interpret: Peter Sklár Dĺžka: 20:37 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing Audiokniha Krstný otec na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Krstný otec na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)

In the Monday Morning Memo for Oct. 10, 2022, I wrote,“Do you want to be one of the world's great ad writers? Don't read ads. Read the poems, short stories and novels written by the winners of the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes in Literature.”My friend Tom Grimes – the waterboy of Amarillo – texted me this insightful correction:“I've heard you teach in class that magicians, stand-up comedians and the creators of comic strips always structure their storytelling in that same tight economy of words used by the world's great poets. ‘And then what happened, and then what happened, and then what happened…'”I stand corrected. Thank you, Tom.Yes, comedians, magicians, and the creators of comics are three different types of writers who know how to capture and hold our attention, just as the world's great poets have done for centuries. These writers show us possible futures, imaginary pasts, or an exaggerated present; realities that exist entirely in our imaginations.And they do it in a brief, tight, economy of words.Likewise, the best ad writers take us on journeys that begin and end quickly, but leave us altered, changed, modified, different.I don't list AI in my pantheon of persuasive writers for the same reason that I don't list the makers of movies.Great movies are created from great plays and great books. Even Disney's animated cartoon adventuresbegin with great stories.Stories are written by writers.The actors, directors, and illustrators who portray those stories are called artists and they are assisted by technicians. Artists and technicians don't write the stories; they adapt stories to fit a format and then show them to us.AI is not a writer. AI is an artist and a technician.Dune was written by Frank Herbert 59 years ago and has sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. Artists and technicians adapted it into a 1984 film, a 2000 television miniseries, and then a major motion picture in 2021 with a sequel that was released in theaters just last week.The Lord of the Rings was written by Tolkien and adapted by artists and technicians.The Godfather was written by Puzo and adapted by artists and technicians.Harry Potter was written by Rowling and adapted by artists and technicians.Charles Schultz, Bill Watterson, Neil Gaiman, Stan Lee, Scott McCloud and Tom Fishburne are writers who tell stories in comic panels.Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Ellen DeGeneres and Dave Chappelle are writers who tell stories in short bursts while standing behind a microphone.Penn and Teller, Siegried and Roy, David Blaine, Brian Brushwood, David Copperfield and Nate Staniforth are writers who stand on stage and tell stories while proving that you cannot believe your eyes or trust your logical mind.Ian Fleming, Cormac McCarthy, Stephen King, Truman Capote, and Elmore Leonard are writers who tell stories using only words.Artists and technicians adapt their stories for stage, film, and video.Shakespeare wrote 38 stories that artists and technicians have adapted for the past 450 years. The artists who gave faces and voices to Shakespeare's characters include Judi Dench, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Kenneth Branagh, David Tarrant, Derek Jacobi and Peter O'Toole.We have writers.
