Mallory Rubin

One thing about Douglas, because he was also a producer, really good timing on when to jump in on a movie that's kind of paralleling whatever's happening in real life.

Like even you go back to China Syndrome, which he's in, which was like right when everyone's afraid of nuclear war in the late 70s.

Wall Street is the greed is good.

Basic instinct, big fear of AIDS, early 90s.

And in the research, one of the things he really wanted to do with this movie was push the envelope sexually the other way in movies.

And then Disclosure was another one with workplace harassment.

But he just over and over again had really good taste, I would say.

Mallory, what was the documentary you saw with the storyboarding?

I'm going to hold up one for you guys.

Paul Verhoeven's work right there.

So he storyboarded the entire thing.

They spent five days filming Fuck of the Century.

Because he was so concerned that they were going to make him cut stuff and make it an X rating or whatever.

He wanted to be covered in every way, shape, or form.

And they filmed for five days, ten hours a day.

A 90-second sex scene?

Man, I hesitate to ask you this.

If you were filming with Sharon Stone for five straight days for ten hours a day, just with small genital pads on, how would that go by, like, Wednesday?

Thank you, everybody.

Good night.
