I lived in L.A. and was in the music biz during this time period for real, and the vibe and atmosphere was EXACTLY like this. Everyone was this phony, put-on, and insincerely “sincere”. Classic, brilliant film.

Martin Short steals every scene he's in. He cracks me up.

“My wife and I come here all the time…”👌🤣

"...well he seemed pleased, but beneath the surface I detected a certain sadness." EXCELLENT.

"you're gonna get three people" (holds up four fingers) ...then he names five roles

"I'm not talking to you...I'll call you."

"I don't know you. I don't know your work. And I think you are a very talent young man." Genius!!

One of the best scenes in a film, ever. Martin is PERFECTION!

One of the most underrated movies ever!

Martin short has steadily become one of favorite comic voices of this era.

1000th time I’ve watched this, new appreciate for Keith and his subtlety.

That stare is a completely awesome punchline to the scene.

Martin Short was brilliant in this scene.

"Look, Nick, I'm not going to bullshit you, because it's a waste of time and then it just becomes that THING..." WTF? LOL

"well he seemed pleased but beneath the surface i detected a certain sadness"

SO GOOD! The Recent Howard Stern Interview reminded me of this clip! They play it all the time!

Love Martin Short. I think he made "that look" in almost every movie he was in.

What a great, underrated film

they play this scene on howard stern's show all the time, and it never gets old.

I like how he holds the cigarette with his fingers totally relaxed.

That thousand-yard stare is what seals it for me.

Martin Short is, and always has been, a comedic genius, the dj

Greatest scene ever!!!!!

I can't stop laughing at his facial expressions.

Don't you worry, Martin, hazel eyes look very beautiful, I must say.

Martin Short"s interpretation was genius.

Imagine Neil Sussman working around Jiminy Glick.

His hair and eyes alone crack me up...

I too always hear this on Howard Stern & for the longest time wondered where it was from.. Brilliant !

Sad that the "you're making a YUGE mistake" was left out of it

Such genius writing and performance…

great scene!! Martin Short is THE best!!

Hilarious. I love his face, this is such a fun character

This is a documentary.

"I'm not talking to you. Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu!! I'll call you."

That is exactly what I was going to write - on both accounts. I bought this movie solely for this scene.

What a disgrace that this movie bombed at the box office. It couldn't have been better made, in every respect. Shame on America.

love this. great post.

Classic scene... pretty sure Andy Dick studied this scene closely.

Excellent film. Saw it at the theater. Now own it on Video and Downloaded! Great expose of Showbiz…BS, Temptation…people manipulating your vision. Luckily the film does have a happy ending. Sad real life story about the girl that played Nick’s GF though🙏

I'll have another Cointreau and sodee... Ayeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

OMG!! I am the waiter at the beginning of this scene.

1:21 - Waiter Keith = angry ginger from Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I quote this character all the time without even thinking about it.

I never heard of this movie (I'm a fan of Martin Short) but I think Marty almost looks like Weird Al with a hairdo like that.

brilliant

I miss this movie. I can't find it anywhere. What's surprising is that all this time, I didn't know that Jennifer Jason Leigh's in this

Martin Short in "The Big Picture"

"When you hire me, you're going to get three people (holds up four fingers)"

I'm not going to bull shit you. I don't know you. I don't know your work. And I think you are a very, very talented man.

I am trying to find the scene where he is playing chess and they start eating the chess peices. Can't find it anywhere

"And then it becomes like that thing." Ha! Nice.

Genius.

I read almost all of them almost all the way through...

0:10 - lol

"My wife and I..." lol...PS: Keith was in Some Kind of Wonderful

That’s Hollywood!

Here from Fly on the Wall podcast?

And someone had the nerve to write an article about how long are we going to put up with Martin Short basically saying he wasn’t funny

“I’m not gonna bullshit you.”

Always wondered what happened to the actress in this film, Emily Longstreth

heven't you seen "get over it"? when he tells about Diana Rose? "And then BS, BS, BS, BS...")))))) he is great)

My wife asks the same question. As do I.

I just read about this scene in Martin Short's book. Pretty funny.

absoltingfuckinhilarious!

lol. yeah, kevins eyes are pretty bluuuue :)

any one else think of Thom Yorke will watching this ?

Oh.My.Gawd. Freakin awesome! Martin playing a gay character and saying "Bullshit" twice? Wow. The only other time I've heard him swear to that extent was in "Damages". Plus, the red hair instantly reminded me of his character, "Eugene" in "Pure Luck".

Did you send over the "tort" (not tart)? Hilarious!!

What in the hell did I just watch?

Haha I'm not talking to you ill call ya lol

Martin Short scalped Annie and plopped his follicular trophy on his head before this scene was shot.

They don't play this movie nearly enough....Ghost stewardesses ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I just looked her up. Nothing. I think she may have quit acting in the 90s.
