Martin Short & Kevin Bacon in The Big Picture

"I'm not going to BS you... "

[@jptaylor]

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.

[@dfa3366]

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

[@BlackBoxOffice]

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

[@gartwilliams3347]

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

[@Boudosaved]

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

[@redwinmedia]

"and I'm never wrong about these things."

[@briandoom]

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

[@smoothALOE]

Brian Doom I have no doubt that his show of four fingers was not scripted, but who knows? When you see Kevin’s reaction after that, his face seems to suggest that he wasn’t totally expecting that, haha!

[@colstonlchinese]

Priceless! Genius!

[@stirfrypep]

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

[@robertrecchia2642]

One of the most underrated movies ever!

[@smoothALOE]

I’ll agree! It’s a quirky little film, but quite good.

[@bwuh]

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

[@lauriekilmartin16]

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

[@roomofidiots]

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

[@RobFuz]

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

[@kadavila]

Martin Short was brilliant in this scene.

[@bewitchers]

That stare is a completely awesome punchline to the scene.

[@davhew]

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

[@mattwisdom2022]

"hmmmm.." lol

[@TonyBlassHollywood]

one of the greatest lines an any film and this is the best send up of Hollywood ever (which is no mean feat bc they LOVE to make movies about themselves)

[@Elfears]

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

[@bewitchers]

"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

[@dak2327]

What a great, underrated film

[@danromero]

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

[@FavogTheDeathKnight]

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

[@zartdart]

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

[@JeffTheNebraskaDJ]

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

[@rousseaurevalli9918]

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

[@methus57]

I must say!

[@mariaksimidis]

Is it really hazel though? I think it’s more greenish than hazel🤔

[@cadaverdog1424]

Greatest scene ever!!!!!

[@patdogg1978]

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

[@Dr_Strangelove702]

Same. And I qoute it to my kids all the time

[@srhbluerain]

His hair and eyes alone crack me up...

[@colstonlchinese]

Martin Short"s interpretation was genius.

[@driskolestateshow]

I can't stop laughing at his facial expressions.

[@eyeseer1]

Imagine Neil Sussman working around Jiminy Glick.

[@halfcolombian72]

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

[@stephengreco6844]

Such genius writing and performance…

[@Boudosaved]

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

[@thegirlleastlikelyto]

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

[@conserve1energy]

great scene!! Martin Short is THE best!!

[@waremblem3405]

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

[@4EyedAnimation]

This is a documentary.

[@TheVerveIndex]

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

[@ABxx2011]

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

[@mordantfilms]

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

[@Ledgeview]

love this. great post.

[@brentib]

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

[@waremblem3405]

And I'm the potted plant (00:48) in the corner of the patio.

[@warnold909]

My father, Mr. Sussman, potted that plant!

[@Dr_Strangelove702]

@@warnold909 where does he live?

[@Dr_Strangelove702]

The guy clearing the table? And did Kevin smell good? He looks like he would

[@brentib]

Duncan Goins yes... don’t remember the smell. Real restaurant in studio city.

[@mytsigns]

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

[@fullbag50]

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

[@nachumlamm9353]

From the Ben Stein scene?

[@drbassface]

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🙏

[@stephvandykeozzy]

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.

[@sifugurusensei]

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

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

Dario Wirtha ,, hey , it is often on the movie channel 240 on Comcast, and I am still working on that cancer cure

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

+UrbanExplorer1000 ... this movie is on encore this month for old people that still pay for cable.

[@UnexpectedBooks]

It is available via Amazon streaming ("free" to Prime customers).

[@donnamwilliams6976]

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

[@lanfordripley7780]

brilliant

[@BarkleyConners]

Martin Short in "The Big Picture"

[@robaronin]

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

[@nachumlamm9353]

And then he lists five.

[@Boudosaved]

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.

[@AdrianMendoza23]

0:10 - lol

[@newsboysrok]

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

[@colstonlchinese]

That line makes me lol every time.😂😂

[@matthewrouge]

Genius.

[@johndoe-cp6vp]

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

[@louisg3598]

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

[@gartw6381]

That’s Hollywood!

[@jgreenbaum7609]

Here from Fly on the Wall podcast?

[@roomofidiots]

“I’m not gonna bullshit you.”

[@videocircus]

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

[@Subo23]

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

[@bewitchers]

My wife asks the same question. As do I.

[@NightChildBarbie]

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

[@DJBiscuit]

absoltingfuckinhilarious!

[@morrisonreed1]

any one else think of Thom Yorke will watching this ?

[@BeatlesBowieKrimson]

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

[@MartinShortLover]

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".

[@Bipbop66]

But he has a wife?....😉

[@babyfawn]

lol. yeah, kevins eyes are pretty bluuuue :)

[@walterkersting1362]

What in the hell did I just watch?

[@Boudosaved]

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

[@nyonelove7617]

Boudosaved Torte. Almond torte.

[@Boudosaved]

+NY OneLove Well aren't I a schmuck!!

[@fullbag50]

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

[@nancyhicksgribble9799]

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

[@brianhamel]

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

[@Boudosaved]

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