00:00Do you think that President Trump's choices of these three legends to be the envoys for
00:09Hollywood, he assigned Stallone, John Boyd, and Mel Gibson, do you think they could actually
00:18make a difference is the question.
00:20They are the three best he could have ever chosen.
00:23They are exemplars of America at its best, and I'm so excited about his choices because
00:31I feel like the movie industry has been making money, just millions and millions, destroying
00:37the image of America, representing American life in the worst possible ways, and the more
00:44taboos that we break in the films, the more the pictures seem to make.
00:50I mean, whether it's out of space, whether it's dead people or zombies, crazy...
00:56Even the zombie movies are putting us in a bad light.
01:00Oh yeah, and nudes, and I mean everything, the worst things that people can do are shown
01:04now on film, and where I and my family used to go to a movie every Friday night, we didn't
01:12frequent the movie theaters anymore, even though I was making movies, but I never made
01:18a film that wasn't G-rated, and that I wanted my own kids to be able to see, and that used
01:25to be, in fact, I'm a part of a Broadway play on the life of Walt Disney, and that name,
01:33Walt Disney, is better known than any other name in the world, and we have a musical on
01:38the life and romance, his love story of Walt Disney and all the films he made, he's the
01:44Rocky of show business.
01:46Do you think Walt Disney would look at his company in Hollywood today and be supportive,
01:54or would he be like, damn, would he feel like you?
01:56Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave if there's such a thing, because they announced
02:02they don't want to be known as a family filmmaker, they just want to be a filmmaker and make
02:07money with their movies, and that was not his idea at all, and I think when the play
02:14hits Broadway, it will help.
