| Plot: | "Ho compiuto quarant'anni. Non voglio svegliarmi a cinquanta per scoprire di aver misurato la mia vita a cucchiaini di caffè", afferma sconsolato il protagonista, giornalista di moda e spettacolo col pallino del romanzo o della sceneggiatura, lasciando improvvisamente la moglie per correr dietro a nuove ed a volte improbabili fidanzate. Commedia tutta 'alleniana', con grandi momenti comici (esilarante la "lezione di sesso orale") e grandi stangate polemiche sul mondo dello spettacolo, mostrato senza peli sulla lingua da chi, in fondo, lo vive e lo conosce molto bene. In fondo, quell' HELP scritto in cielo (film nel film) con cui inizia e finisce CELEBRITY è il grido d'aiuto di un uomo e di un autore ancora in cerca di qualcosa. Riuscirà nell'intento ? |

Quotes
|
Robin Simon: There aren't any ticks around here, are there? I'd hate to get Lyme disease. Priest at Catholic Retreat: We haven't had any casualties. Nicole Oliver: I can't have sex with you! My body belongs to my husband and there is no way that I could betray him in that way. But what I do from the neck up is a different story. [sighting celebrities at a screening] Tony Gardella: Oh, and getting out of the elevator I see there's a famous critic. Robin Simon: Him, I recognize. Tony Gardella: Oh, he used to hate every movie. Then, he married a young, big-bosomed woman, and now he loves every movie. Robin Simon: I've become the person I've always hated, but I'm happier. Robin Simon: No matter what the shrinks, or the pundits, or the self-help books tell you, when it comes to love, it's luck. [talking about Papadakis] Tony Gardella: He's very arty, pretentious, one of those assholes who shoots all his films in black and white. Supermodel: You're not afraid of catching germs? And you know, I'm coming down with a cold and everything... Lee Simon: From you I'd be willing to catch terminal cancer. Tony Gardella: Tom Dale. *Big* star. He's in New York filming an adaptation of a sequel of a remake. Waiting Room Nurse: I'm sorry, the doctor just doesn't do penis enlargements. We don't have the space. Waiting Room Patient: We're talking about 3 inches here! Robin Simon: [affecting a Southern accent] I have always depended on the kindness of strangers... Lee Simon: One minute you're in the lunchroom at Glenwood High and you f***ing blink and you're 40, you blink again and you can see movies at half price on a senior citizen's pass. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, or to put it more accurately, ask not for whom the toilet flushes. Bonnie: Apparently his first two books... Lee Simon: They were obliterated. I got the 3 esses: self-indulgent, sophomoric, sollipsistic... Lee Simon: Just in time. Another minute, I'd have been found dead of comedy poisoning... Lee Simon: I'm awash in self-contempt! Dee Bartholomew: I ran into our Tony Gardello at the Cafe Carlyle. He had a blissed-out look like he had died and gone to heaven. How did you manage to put that smile on his face? Robin Simon: Using my head... Donald Trump: Well, I'm working on buying St. Patrick's Cathedral, maybe doing a little rip-down job and putting up a very very tall and beautiful building. Robin's Friend Cheryl: So ironic. You go to get face work, you don't get face work, but you meet a wonderful guy, he changes your life, it's better than face work. Exercise Tape Fan: Would you sign this? I use your exercise tape. Supermodel: You do? Exercise Tape Fan: So do I! Exercise Tape Fan: But I exercise to it. Lee Simon: Every curve in your body fulfills its promise. If the universe has any meaning, I'm looking at it. Father Gladden's Fan on Porch: Did you agree with the Beatles, years ago, at the height of their fame, that they were bigger stars than Jesus? Father Gladden: The world population was much less then. Souvenir Hawker: They're all genuine ceramic, and we got this rubber bulb here, you squeeze this, fill it with some washable red vegetable dye, give it a squeeze, you can make his wounds bleed. Watch in the back, there. Isn't that something? TV Reporter at Premiere: What's your next project? Dalton Freed: Birth Of A Nation, an all-black version. Supermodel: I'm polymorphously perverse. It's not a flaw, it's just a weakness. Robin Simon: [to Lee] I hope you catch a break. |
