Tim’s Favorite Movie Project: Pretty Woman

Pretty Woman (1990)

Directed by Garry Marshall

Starring Richard Gere, Julia Roberts

Released March 18, 1990

Plot: A wealthy businessman (Richard Gere) picks up a sex worker (Julia Roberts) in Hollywood. After spending an evening together, he hires her to be his escort for the week, and the two develop an unexpected emotional attachment. It must’ve been love.

One of my favorites because: Pretty Woman is a great movie. This is what it looks like when “Hollywood Movie” is not used as a pejorative, but rather as the highest compliment. Pretty Woman is smartly directed by a Garry Marshall, whose years in the industry (particularly in television) had taught him how to deliver what his audience wanted. It’s cast to perfection from the top down. The film is mature without being dark, sexy without being dirty, funny without being goofy, and romantic without becoming saccharine. Pretty Woman is one of my favorites because it is cinematic comfort food.

My relationship to this movie: Pretty Woman is another movie my mom owned a legit VHS copy of. I have no idea where she got it, but it was probably in 1991 when I was 7 or 8 years old. The movie has no real nudity, no explicit sex or explicit sexual language, very little violence to speak of, and maybe two or three total curse words – so we were allowed to watch it. I had no idea what the relationship between Edward and Vivian was, beyond her giving him directions and the two falling in love. Although I heard the word “hooker” in the movie again and again, I had no real understanding of what it meant – my idea was something closer to “con artist” or “street hustler.”  The movie also has a great soundtrack, and back then, the only way we had to listen to the songs was to watch the movie – and watch it we did, over and over again, until we were juuuuust old enough to start to get what was going on – then the VHS was hidden and I probably didn’t see the movie from 1994 to 2006. The experience of watching and suddenly understanding a movie that I had basically memorized phonetically because so much of it was over my head was surreal. I don’t just mean the more adult material, but even lines like “This thing corners like it’s on rails” had no meaning to a 9 year old. I completely fell in love with a movie I already knew by heart. I just rewatched it for this week’s Scott Aukerman and Shaun Diston’s podcast Scott Hasn’t Seen, and was just as charmed, comforted, and carried away as I’ve ever been.

My favorite _________: Pretty Woman is my favorite version of the Cinderella story.

List Position at Debut: Pretty Woman is the seventh entry in this project and starts at number four.

Short clip of Scott Aukerman, Sprague the Whisperer (Shaun Diston) and guest Ryan Gaul from the Amityville Horror episode of Scott Hasn't Seen, discussing Jaws connections to the movie.

I made this clip for @picklesandwine because Scott wishes that Murray Hamilton, in his Amityville role as a priest, would have had little anchors on his vestments as a nod to the Amity mayor's jacket in Jaws.

Anchor print fabric is something that can be so personal

There is having fun, and there is having fun because you are doing it right. Have fun because you are doing good scenes.

How the characters feel about each other or what is going on is the most interesting part of the scene.

The only interesting thing is your scene partners ideas. When you put your ideas together, you are creating something interesting an new.

Just listen to each other.

Listen to your scene partner -- The other people in the scenes with us are wonderful smart people who have ideas we have never heard before.
