“But differences between the two are instructive, too. “Frances Ha” engages in a lively dialogue with film history, full of nods to the François Truffaut and Eric Rohmer movies that Mr. Baumbach adores. Much of the music in “Frances Ha” is written by Georges Delerue, erstwhile composer of the French New Wave. And Frances is a different kind of archetype than those who populate “Girls” — she’s older and closer to actual failure, ultimately falls further, and in some ways is eaten alive by the city that Mr. Baumbach and the cinematographer Sam Levy so lovingly shoot. The result is both more savage and more gentle than anything imagined by Ms. Dunham.”

“But his heroes, or antiheroes, have always been borderline unpleasant: Ben Stiller’s painfully maladroit Greenberg, in the 2010 film of the same name; the self-aggrandizing patriarch played by Jeff Daniels in Mr. Baumbach’s semiautobiographical 2005 film “The Squid and the Whale”; Nicole Kidman’s scarily neurotic Margot, of 2007’s “Margot at the Wedding.” The Frances of “Frances Ha,” by contrast, is a danger only to herself: she needs to discover not how to stop hurting other people but how to stop other people from hurting her. She’s the most sympathetic character Mr. Baumbach has put on screen, and among the most alive, too.”

Thanks to disgusting and/or ignorant people like the Steubenville rapists, their enablers, Todd Akin, teems of moronic internet commenters, over 20 senators voting against VAWA, and a tragically tone deaf and clueless media, we are at a specific moment in this country where we’re talking about…

“I have a picture of myself and Jon with myself with a huge, shit-eating grin on my face, because the reason that Duckie is in there is because the Duckie character was really important to me when Pretty In Pink came out, and I sort of dressed like him and identified with his being in love with women who would never love him back. So that was a huge, huge thrill for me, and there’s a picture of me with Jon Cryer, and there’s also a picture of me with the monkey. We were told not to make a lot of noise next to the monkey, and taking the picture was kind of dangerous, as I recall, but I risked it.
Having Jon Cryer driving up with a monkey in a convertible dressed as Duckie and having Bob and Dave hop in just filled me with so much glee. I was so happy. It was just one of those, “Hey! This stuff came out of my head and look at it come true!” I was just so happy to be working on the show and so happy that this huge production devoted to a lot of my ideas was happening.”

““Thinking back to YouTube,” Pacino said, “Have you seen Key and Peele? Oh, man, they’re comics! African-American comics. They have this thing where the both of them, they’re in a bar, and one sees a girl he likes at the end of the bar. He says, ‘Gee, you know, I’d like her.’ It’s obvious he’s married or something but he’d like her, you know. He says, ‘Gee, I wonder if I can get her number,’ and he goes to the bar and of course, his friend is there already, and has the number of the girl. He sees another girl and he goes to that part of the bar and he hits on her and of course his friend is talking to her. Anyway, he gets home and he’s looking through a magazine and he sees this beautiful girl in the magazine and his friend is in the picture with her. He grabs his wife and looks in the mirror and he sees his friend as himself and it just won’t stop.””

“Damon: Ben and I talked about it recently. We were younger than we felt. I was 22 and Ben was 20 when we first started writing it. And then it came out when I was 27 and Ben was 25. I mean, Ben’s still the youngest writer to ever win an Oscar for screenwriting. I’d be the youngest if it weren’t for Ben. Fucking asshole.”

“Damon: The very first day, I remember we started crying, because it was a scene between Robin and Stellan. And when Gus called action and we watched these guys—I mean accomplished actors—do our scene verbatim, we had waited so long for this to happen. I remember just sitting next to Ben and I had tears rolling down my cheeks because I was just so happy and relieved that it was really happening. Affleck: We did tear up a little bit. But why is Matt saying this shit? Like, he holds his fucking tongue for 15 years and now because it’s Boston magazine, he says he started crying? His career is not over, you know what I mean? He needs people to believe that he’s like Jason Bourne or whatever!”
