One day I saw one of these Jurassic Park jeeps on I-4. I’m guessing either someone stole it from Universal Studios or is the biggest nerd ever.

“In 1971 I wrote and shot a scene for Annie Hall involving the Knicks and Earl The Pearl. I was extolling the concept of the physical over the cerebral, so I wrote a fantasy basketball game in which all the great thinkers of history – Kant and Nietzsche and Kirkegaard – played against the Knicks. I cast actors who looked like those philosophers to play those roles and they played against the real Knicks. We used the players on the team at that time including Earl, Bill Bradley and Walt Frazier, and we shot it inside Madison Square Garden after the last game of the season. Of course the Knicks were smooth and beat the philosophers easily; all their cerebration was impotent against the Knicks. But I cut the scene from the picture, not because it didn’t come out but because I had to keep the picture moving and it was too much of a digression. It didn’t break my heart not to use it in the film. I always feel that anything I cut out of a film is always a mercy killing.”

“It’s clear that Pauline Kael lost much more than she ever knew at the movies. But her daughter is right. It was precisely that obsessive, even self-destructive personal investment that makes her work, both at its extraordinary best and at its most egregious, unlike anything else in the modern history of cultural criticism. If you want to understand what it was like to be in the audience during America’s thrilling, now vanished age of movies, you must begin with Kael.”
