I met Dennis Quaid with his son in the 90’s. He was the nicest, most laid back, no Hollywood airs and was very personal. He mentioned he didn’t want to be recognized, but asked if I wanted an autograph. I handed him a sheet of drawing paper and a huge box of crayons. What color did Dennis choose? Red! I still have the autograph, framed and hanging on the wall. Dennis Quaid is cool as hell.

Only if you let it. As long as you're not doing something terrible, I don't see why I should care. All that stuff about P Diddy, especially the video of him beating up his girlfriend... He's a great producer, and I actually like him as a rapper, but I wouldn't go to one of his shows. However, if the "scandal" was that he supports Trump or Biden, or he's gay, or that he said something bad that he shouldn't have said (we all make mistakes)... We're cool. As long as you are a good person. I point this out because I've seen a lot of people online who seems to lose their respect for an actor or musician just because of their political views, as if we all have to agree on everything. It doesn't matter.

As a casual movie fan, I discovered old movies and fell in love with the stories, actors, characters and witty interactions between them. There was no CGI. There were no endless sequels. The dialogue actually sounded like real conversation. It's a wonderful world to explore and way better than what's currently being made.

I am older than these guys and I cannot agree more about having everything in your life become a permanent record on the internet. This is why, as a Boomer, I can honestly say that we were the most fortunate generation in history. We were free range people. No one knew what we did, where we were, what we purchased etc. We were truly the last generation to ever know privacy. No person in the West who was born after the internet existed has ever known true privacy.

Hollywood has lost their imagination. They rely heavily on computer graphics, making sequels, and poor directors. Your lucky if you can find a good story. Some of the acting isn't too good either. Movies are expensive to go to. The movie, a drink and popcorn is $30 for one person. People don't have the money, nor are people buying into the woke agenda message that is being pushed onto them. That is what the problem is.

Loved this. I have been a movie buff and Hollywood entertainment lover my whole life. I am also out of the habit of going to the movies. Celebrities in general have made themselves too down to earth and accessible. I absolutely agree, that too much exposure makes you less interesting. So when any celebrity or Hollywood movie star ⭐️ runs their own social media accounts. It’s a bit too over saturating. Yep- no mystery.

We wanted movies to be grounded in reality, so we might learn something about ourselves. When you notice your own life to be more interesting than movies, the only thing left is entertainment value. This conversation, an attempt to a truly honest moment captured on a screen, stripped bare of distraction and suspended disbelief, is more compelling and less predictable than movies today.

Frequency and Breaking Away absolute classics. Movies rarely come close to the old movies.
[4:38] "It brings them down to earth, and that's no good if you're a star." This is such a clever statement to have in the middle of the dialogue. You can see that Jordan is proud of it, and rightfully so.

I don't think he or Dennis is right. At least not about movie stars being in interviews and speaking their mind on politics. You can go back to any era and find the biggest stars doing these things. Marlon Brando was thought of as mysterious compared to his peers and even he did interviews and made big political statements all the time.
Dennis is an amazing actor and always loved the "Enemy mine"
He has NO bad Movies! Always has chemistry with anyone he works with! A National Treasure. . .

This is a good interview on showing how the reviewers of art in cinema is missed. Too many reviewers drown out the people to trust on what good art is.
@ 7:45 Jordan & Quaid conversationally stumble upon THE single biggest reason why many younger folks today suffer from anxiety. Everything is “for or on the record” and the Court is in session 24/7.

Frequency with Dennis and Jim Caviezel.
My first time going to a Theater was to see the movie "The Rookie" starring Dennis Quaid. Ever since then I've always enjoyed and appreciated his performances. This was a very nice interview 👍🏼
Quaid is a pleasure to listen to, he’s a class act
Dennis is a man of integrity. And an actor still enjoy watching.
Dennis, you were always one of my favorites. I'm 63, female, loved Breaking Away (the short lived tv series was filmed right outside my dorm in Athens, GA and I'll never forget how they glued leaves on the trees to make it look like fall). But in the 90s, my household (two girls) was glued to your version of Parent Trap and I thought you were just dreamy. Must've watched that movie 50 times. You're looking good! And I love that you're not too into Facebook, I feel the same way. All the best, great interview!
Dennis has my respect. I can't say the same thing for most in Hollywood.

A drunk Republican is better than a sober Democrat. If Dennis has had a few nips...so what. He is relatively coherent and well worth listening to. What bothers me in Hollywood is Climate hypocrisy and virtue signaling. Keeping it real counts for more today than ever.
I so felt this. In my teens to early 30s I was locked in. I knew all the stuff, what was coming, who was involved, trivia. Even stuff I wasn’t into or going to see I knew many details about. Been years since that somehow fell away and I don’t know most of what’s happening in movies and tv. I didn’t even know shows like the office and game of thrones existed until long after they ended or just as they were ending and those weren’t short tv runs. But I still have my favorite classics.
Love Dennis Q. In my 80’s. Always been my favorite

"You should be able to make those stupid decisions in private.." Dennis Quaid. One of my all time favourite actors; feeling happy to see him.
My family was a huge movie family. We loved going to the movies once a month, after the pandemic we stopped going. I feel there were many reasons why… 1. Lack of quality movies, moves are very predictable 2. Agendas being pushed 3. Price 4. The environment changed, people are rude and don't know move etiquette

It's just sad. I miss the old days. There's just nothing good to watch anymore. I love older movies because they are slower placed and don't rely on all the special effects and jumpy cuts.
There used to be a promotional system run by the studios, that constantly pushed images of actors into the media. This helped create interest in the actors, and led to the creation of 'stars'. Now the studios don't spend the time and effort promoting actors, and seem surprised there are no new stars. Can they not do the math?
Wonderful to see Dr. Peterson chuckle, smile & somewhat let go of the position of "therapist".
My favorite Quaid movie: Enemy Mine! It touched me deeply as a kid and I still love it today.
Never thought I'd see Dennis Quaid talking to Jordan Peterson. I love Dennis in all his movies! I used to have such a crush on him when he was younger. Funny thing, my OBGYN has a picture of him and a few other now aging actors on the ceiling. 😂

Amazing how he and Val Kilmer (movie 'Tombstone') played the role of Doc Holliday differently, yet both equally deserved an Oscar for their individual portrayals. Just my opinion, of course.

Not just the quality. But it’s a different time now. The way movies are released has no novelty anymore. In the 80s and 90s there was excitement over a pending film’s release and then the long wait for it to come out on dvd. People were excited for it. No one really cares about celebrities anymore. Most of them are too pathetic to stick up for what’s right, choosing instead to hang around on the virtue signaling wagon. They’ve lost their credibility with the public. Everything has already been done so it’s hard for writers to come up with new ideas.
Movies,actors and actresses were so much better back in the older days, then compared to today. Only thing better today is the special effects, but not the acting or the writing.

Back in the day, actors and actresses had contracts with studios. They would have to make X amount of movies in Y amount of years. The best actors and actresses got the best contracts, which also stipulated public behavior. The actors couldn't reflect negatively on the studio. Today, everyone is independent and can say and do what they want. Eventually, you find out that your favorites are all nutcases, hateful, or completely unlikable. It was better for the public to have the studio contract buffer, imo. There are very few actors or actresses I like today, and it's because of who they are irl.

I grew up eagerly watching the Oscars because of how much I loved movies. Now I don't give a damn and haven't watched in most of a decade. My wife and I actively look forward to when they cease to exist as a broadcast show and reverts back to a little party for Hollywood insiders that no one cares about... just as they started.
Yes. I had an anthropology professor say, once, that the ability to forget is necessary for progress and development. The last part of the discussion in this clip brought those words back like I heard them yesterday. That was over 20 years ago and, man, is that true more than ever. They are so right about the value of being able to forget and leave the past in the past and the tragedy of social media preventing such necessity for a healthy culture/individual.

Anyone who has been there when their child was born, are totally surprised when 12-24 months later the woman who went through the ordeal, starts talking about having another one. To me that is the greatest example of being able to forget I've ever seen.
Because of social media... everyone's a star now, which means no one is. Stardom is going the way of music... only the 70's and 80's music is timeless... all music since then is quickly forgotten.
State of the movie industry aside, the primary reason I don't go to the theater anymore is that in my country the price of a movie ticket has increased tenfold during my lifetime and my purchasing power has not even come close to that so moviegoing has gone from inexpensive pastime activity to a luxury I can no longer afford.
