The Pitch Review

JOAQUIN: Man, this story kind of gives me a chubby.
DIRECTOR/WRITER: I know. It's supposed to.

JOAQUIN: I mean, man, it's got everything. In fact, it's the modern Pulp Fiction. It's that good. I'd say "better," though,  because I love the nude scenes - goddam, that unbelievably erotic time suspended in foreplay... And the short skirts... Holy sh$*. Goddam! It's hot. Long, and hot. And funny. (In a grown-up, hippie-loving, pot-smoking, sex rocks kind of way. Man, hippies had dirty feet, didn't they? Cool.)

DIRECTOR/WRITER: I know.
JOAQUIN: So you're getting all these big name stars to be in it? Of course you are. They're gonna be begging to be in this one. I'd say I wanted an Oscar for this role, but I don't give a rat's ass about that game.

DIRECTOR/WRITER: I know.
JOAQUIN: And the characters have these unbelievable, classic, memorable lines. It's gonna stick. For a long time. I'm telling you, man, like a modern Pulp Fiction...but set in the 60s - or 70s...whatever, man. Classic. More than a cult classic, man. It's not too long, either. Long, but good long.

 DIRECTOR/WRITER: I know.
JOAQUIN: Okay, I can't get any harder...
DIRECTOR/WRITER: Shut up, Joaquin.
