Hold up, man.
Where's that plane at?

1:25:06
- Action?
- Action.

1:25:13
Take 14. Action.
1:25:17
I'm hitting it as hard as I can,
but it's not doing nothing.

1:25:19
One other thing. Mike, come down here
quick. I gotta get the headlights.

1:25:22
Knock out--
1:25:25
You think this is a little bit
cathartic for you?

1:25:27
- Very cathartic, Mark.
- Do you know what "cathartic" means?

1:25:32
It means--
1:25:34
I think it means getting things
out of your system, man.

1:25:38
- Yeah, okay. Then it's cathartic.
- Is it? Got that out of your system?

1:25:41
- Pretty damn cathartic, Mark.
- Cool.

1:25:45
Last time I was out here was seven,
eight years ago to shoot Northwestern.

1:25:49
We shot here in the dead of summer,
dead of winter, man. All of that.

1:25:56
I'll be back.
1:25:58
With Northwestern, he's putting
more drama into it.

1:26:04
Obviously, this is not a horror film,
this is more of a life-and-times.

1:26:07
Probably gonna use a lot
of his own experience--you know...

1:26:10
as far as what he went through in life--
is gonna be in this film.

1:26:14
You know, these are
the vistas right here.

1:26:17
What does it feel like...
1:26:19
to have a couple rusty cars parked
against a rusty background?

1:26:23
Because this is really fall.
1:26:25
In winter, when the earth decays,
and the cars have decayed...

1:26:28
and these guys are decaying,
you know?

1:26:31
That's what it's all about,
you know?

1:26:33
It's--
1:26:35
That's what it's all about--
rust and decay--

1:26:37
but within that is the warmth
of the soul and stuff like that.

1:26:42
It's lonely roads,
but there's warm houses and cars.
