What the fuck is with this guy? Who is he??

Now Milius is the subject of a documentary (titled “Milius”) by Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson, premiering March 9 at the South by Southwest Film Festival and featuring interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Francis Ford Coppola, among others.

The... who the fuck is Zak Knutson?!

The Knutsons. It's a wandering director job.

How you going to send him back to the farm after he’s seen Walter Sobchak?

[-]

Snatchl@reddit

How you gonna keep ‘em down on the farm once they’ve seen John Milius.

[-]

Fresh_Entrance_9315@reddit

He wrote the USS Indianapolis scene in Jaws. Not exactly a lightweight.

[-]

Almost everyone other than Spielberg, who was friends with Milius, agrees that Shaw rewrote the Indianapolis part pretty much entirely. Milius did write the original script for Apocalypse Now, so his work can be commended.

[-]

elpayo@reddit

Commended as strongly penile?

Are they no longer friends?

[-]

Vegetable-Put3884@reddit

Was friends with him when the controversy over the authorship arose, I’ll ask them if they are still friends the next time I see them.

[-]

wiserolderelf@reddit

I heard Milius wrote it brilliantly but it was too long, it would have taken ten minutes of screen time. It was going to get completely cut unless someone could cut it down. So Shaw sobered up or had a flash of brilliance and did a masterful job cutting it down to the essential story that’s in the movie.

Vegetable-Put3884@reddit

It’s one of those things that has become folklore at this point, but either way, they delivered the bomb.

[-]

wiserolderelf@reddit

Well said!

onthewall2983@reddit

Also did work on the first two Dirty Harry movies

[-]

JackStrawSTL@reddit

He also made Conan the Barbarian. Thulsa Doom…worthy fucking adversary. Waving the sword around…

[-]

TheTrueButcher@reddit

If you see a DVD/BD of Conan the Barbarian don’t leave the store without it. The commentary track with Milius and Arnold is gold. Wall to wall unintentional humor.

Kubliah@reddit

It's video dude. Now that we're competing with those amateurs, we can't afford to invest in little extras like story, production value, feelings...

glue_lagoon@reddit

They were bulk sharks, Dude?

[-]

D-Flo1@reddit

We formed the bulk of ourselves into bulk squares like in a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo, and the bulk of the idea was, bulk shark comes to the nearest bulk man who starts pounding and hollering and screaming.

Sometimes the bulk shark'd go away.

(pause to take a long breath)

Sometimes he wouldn't go away.

Sometimes that bulk shark looks right into you. Right into your bulk eyes.

He also wrote all of Sean Connery’s speeches in The Hunt for Red October.

Walter being based on this clown is why I doubt he’s an actual combat veteran.

aquilasr@reddit

There was another dude named Peter who was a Vietnam vet that the Coens knew who was a basis partially for Walter (he once purportedly jokingly scared students of his by shouting “First Nam, now this!”) and even the Dude (he once said to them that one his rugs “really ties the room together”). Also a dude named Big Lew who was Peter’s friend was considered possibly to contribute to Walter along with Milius. Seems like Walter got the bloviating blow hard aspects from Milius though. It would funny if Walter truly never served though, it would make his preoccupation genuinely psychotic.
