- CHRISTOPHER GUEST SAID: "It also should be pointed out--by me, because I'm speaking, I guess--that as opposed to what you see in a club, where you go to see improv in a club--they're heading for a joke, basically. And the energy's a little more unreal. And that this is separate. Because it's more real-time behavior, perhaps. In the sense of: it's more realistic as far as energy goes."

He's one of the most underappreciated comedic minds of our time.
Rose - "what are you looking for?"
Guest - "Someone who can listen..."
Jesus, is he in the wrong room.
Charlie Rose seems to be interrupting a bit too much here. I'm getting into the rhythm of Guest's answer, then Rose steps in to ask what Guest was just about to explain anyway.
Guest is not an a-hole, he's just very shy and private. (Most of the celebrities I admire are.) His personality is also very serious, dry and deadpan. In fact Eugene Levy has described him as being "an emotional desert." I think all of these things point to why Guest is so adept at taking on other personas. He studies, listens and watches.
Christopher Guest is one of the most imaginative, articulate and totally hilarious people in this country. He can take any role and simply "do it".
I so look forward to anything Mr. Guest puts out. There is ,without a doubt, nobody as good as him, and his gang, at what he does. He was so ahead of his time with Spinal Tap(with Rob Reiner), and people are still catching up. "A Mighty Wind" is, in my opinion, a masterpiece.
@cutelilram What he started was brilliant, every mocdoc...priceless. I cant imagine his next film without this cast. I love him!!!
Shmoozes
lol. Do you know him at all?
The dude is just incredibly cerebral ... and incredibly critical. This is why he is so good. This is why he makes good movies.
Spinal tap is awesome. Best in show it awesome. A mighty wind is awesome. Waiting for guffman is awesome. PERIOD.
@cosmicarbiteroftaste It's way more subtle(A Mighty Wind), because rock music is much easier to lampoon.
Does that jacket have a collar or what? No lapel? What kind of jacket is Christopher Guest wearing in this interview?
well, he IS on charlie rose dude. it's hard not to be "snotty."
"judging from all that could be known of him, without actually knowing him"
I didn't have to think about it for more than a second. Anyone who has seen a handful his interviews knows this. So, it is not a judgement at all; an observation, rather.
I am glad that you make yourself LOL like a 12 year old.
I stated an obvious fact; not psychoanalysis.
Charlie Rose is utterly appalling; how does anyone so perpetually plastered manage to maintain a tv career?
He didn’t.
uh, live and let live fellas.......
Guest delivers to his fans. So what if he prefers to work with his circle of friends - Woody Allen & Bergman do/did the same-, and what does it matter to anyone if he is shy, introverted or aloof? He is an actor/writer/director - thats enough for anyone.
Hm. I'm not seeing "rude". I'm seeing an awkward interview where the interviewer kind of interrupts and is, himself, not "rude" but ruder than Guest is being.
Is this the six fingered guy?
Yep. How else could he shred turned up to eeeleven?
Just launched our web series this morning. It's about the making of a web series.
It's called Web Series: The Show.
Chris would approve, I assure you.
Search "Wonderpony web series the show"
This is hard to watch. I don't know if it's Guest or Rose or Both, but there is just too much animosity to this interview.
8:30 Now, THAT's capitalism at its best!
if he was more concise he wouldn't get fed up with ppl not listening closely enough
I could not disagree more. Chris Guest did not direct Spinal Tap, so technically it's not really "his' film. Right? Mighty Wind contains my favorite tunes. And I love Tap.
dunskie - Guest came up with the original idea for Spinal Tap so in some ways it is his movie.
Why are you here? To criticize Christopher friggin Guest? Neato.
Worst Improv I've ever seen is Isaacs & Baker. They are a couple of dorks.
He's probably doing that because his responses are so boring.
I actually see the guy doing a bit of self-deprecating humor that the interviewer takes too literally. But ah well. Not everyone can have a good sense of humor. "A Mighty Wind" wasn't nearly as funny as "Spinal Tap", but it was funny nonetheless. That "no one watched" it isn't representative of how good the movie is. We all know that millions would rather listen to a shit-nugget album by Taylor Swift rather than Mozart. Does that mean Mozart is the "piece of shit"? Absolutely not.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
alteredlame, you sound like an ex-wife of his. does he snore all through the night and always leave the goddamn toilet seat up as well? What are his innermost repressed desires and fears Dr. Freud? LOL your comment is 100% judgemental
Ahem, well, I, must, say, that, with, all, of these, commas, it does, invariably, add, gravitas, to an, otherwise, moot, and pointless, point. "A Mighty Wind" is Spinal Tap rehashed, just as all of his films have been. A Mighty Wind is a Fart.
Guest was good in Spinal Tap but I have no interest in meeting him .... He seems kida snotty plain and simple --- I dont think as deep as you people --- snotty is snotty :>)
What a sad, opinionated douche nozzle you must be.
I realize I'm replying to an eleven-year-old comment, but yeah I wish I had never seen this. He seems touchy.
