I quite like the idea of film director Gladiator battles, Spielberg vs Tarkovsky, Lucas vs younger Lucas...
er yeah me too
my next thought was that it would be about this:
wherein the one interviews the other. it's good!

El Hombre Invisible
Can't imagine Woody doing very well...he had enough trouble killing a spider in Annie Hall.
Peckinpah vs Ford?

I’m a huge fan of both.
I know it’s anathema to Woody Allen’s public persona, but I went to HS with a kid whose father grew up with woody in the Midwood section of Bklyn. At that time Solid house proud lower middle class types. Lots of secular godless Jews (my favorite kind) .
Anyway, this kid told me his father said that as youths, Woody was not only a very good athlete (stick ball & hoops) but a bit of a bully.
And can/would fight at the drop of a hat.

He’s notoriously shy. Idk how old he is now.
He was a pretty ubiquitous presence on the mid-upper east side for years. Met him in relaxed mood (and only because I was introduced) at PJ Clarke’s @e53rd & 3rd.
Classic bar. He was drinking Guinness with Mia.

Whenever I’ve seen people whose work I’ve admired, I’m mostly on about entertainers of the famous type. On the subway, in the street or in a bar. Unless we sort of lock eyes and I sense they won’t turtle up or outright run,*
I leave them be. If it feels right I’ll say in passing something like “Hey man, thanks for the music” and keep it pushing.
I had a close friend who was is probably 72 now. He was a huge John Lennon fan.
One day in a whole in the wall Irish pub on Columbus Ave. he’s sitting at the bar, sparsely populated. He looks down the bar and there HE is, John Lennon. By himself. Having a pint. His first impulse was to buy him a drink, go over and proceed to gush.
He thought about it though. And, after deliberation in his head decided. No. This guys music had enhanced & changed my life etc. the biggest way I can thank him is to let him have his pint in peace.
That was like a month before JL got gunned down. He doesn’t regret not bothering him.
*in my younger days (teens) we’d (my boys) and myself love to go to Times Square (when it was Times Square. Beyond all the peep shows & porn theatres there were old movie houses that for $2 would play 2nd run horror or kung-fu movies. We’d bring in our quarts of beer, smoke a bit, just have fun.
Afterwards we’d people watch and just be teenagers. One time we’re standing just off an alley in the area & Debbie Harry (Blondie) comes walking out of nowhere. We were young stupid & high. So of course we start shouting like Yo Debbie! C’mere, where you rushing to etc. naturally she sprinted (in heels)
At Olympic level speed away from us.
Those sort of stories/experiences made my mind up for me when in a similar position
