Couple of ‘Reel Geezers’ on YouTube

When you first view Marcia and Lorenzo’s take on movies, you find them funny and entertaining and poignant. Yet you may find it hard to believe that they are former employees of the Hollywood industry — “mover and shakers.”
A wonderful piece in the January 1, 2008 LA Times describes them brilliantly:
“Lorenzo is actually Lorenzo Semple, 84. One of Hollywood’s top screenwriters in the 1970s, he helped write movies for virtually every star of the day, notably Warren Beatty (’The Parallax View’), Robert Redford (’Three Days of the Condor’), Steve McQueen (’Papillon’) and Paul Newman (’The Drowning Pool’). His foil is Marcia Nasatir, 81, a longtime agent, pioneering woman production executive and producer of such films as ‘The Big Chill’ and ‘Hamburger Hill.’”
The duo definitely knows movies and they are funny. But who noticed them? Tony Gilroy, screenwriter (”Bourne” movies) and director (”Michael Clayton’) and Wes Anderson.
Word is getting around because “Ain’t it Cool” also mentions “Reel Geezers” as well.
Now, Screenhead is giving the duo a plug.
You gotta see these two together at YouTube. The Geezers know film and they are hilarious.
