RIP Norman Jewison

Absolutely.
Rollerball one of my all time faves. I was delighted to come across this interview he did with James Caan on the set for Bobby Wygant. Bless her I find her hysterical, but she interviewed some great people back in the day.

That slap!!!

 

[The Wild Turkey]

That slap!!!

They say that Black Folks stood up and cheered durin' that scene.
Hollywood is responsible for perpetuatin' a lotta racial discrimination,
so when Mr. Jewison flipped it on'em, it was an important gesture.

It's the little details too - the look the butler gives him at the end of the scene. Brilliant.

My apologies, thanks for straighten my hoax [ not meant but ill informed] Glad Tricky is alive, and if you say its a year ago Tom Verlaine died I guess your info is correct, as the other was also a massive mistake that I didnt do a double check on those. Thanks for getting the info clear Gregor Samsa.
