Chords for "I'm done with La La Land!" Emma Stone on why nine times is enough

_ _ _ _ _ Welcome to Movies with Mamie.
Thank you.
We're going to talk maybe too much about EZA now.
I hope you don't mind.
_ [B]
The shudder-inducing and cliched, however [E] totally false, account of how I lost my virginity
to a guy at a community [B] college.
So [Am] tell me that the Ferris Bueller references in The Shower _ are your own work.
I got a pocket, got a pocket full [Em] of sunshine.
I got a love and a nose that's [E] all mine now.
I recall Central Park in fall.
How you tore your dress.
What a mess, I confess.
[N] No, they're not.
No, no.
The John Hughes nature of the movie was very much Bert V.
Royal, the screenwriter, was
very conscious of those.
The speaking into camera, but it being a webcam and all of that.
No.
Those were very conscious choices.
Because in my head I was like, they never had one less in line.
I was like, well, that's true.
That might have been thrown in from Will, from the director, that moment.
But there were lots of shout-outs to John Hughes throughout.
That movie, I don't know why I've watched it so many times, but it might be because
Pocket Full of Sunshine gets into my head so much that I start thinking, I should watch
Easy A again.
Does it?
Well, I'm grateful that that's what it does to you instead of just a full repellent.
How often does it get stuck in your head?
Not at all anymore.
I was haunted by that song for years after that movie came out.
I would walk out to do something, like a show or something, and it would be like, I gotta fuck.
I was like, [B]
really?
It's gonna follow me?
Because in the movie, the character can't stand [Am] it. _ _
[E] Blah!
_ Worst song ever.
And then I ran into Natasha Bedingfield, who's such a nice person and she writes great music.
But I ran into her on the street and I was like, sorry.
_ Are you okay?
She was like, it's funny.
She was great about it.
If I was a friend of yours, I would so have just [F] changed your ringtone and just watched.
[D] It's just cruel.
It's just cruel.
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta fuck, I gotta fuck, I gotta.
And your audition was that webcam scene, wasn't it?
Yeah.
It was the, I mean, it was the original, kind of the first scene.
Let the record show that I, Olive Pendergast, being of sound mind, ample-ish breast size
and the occasional corny knock-knock joke, do enter this video [D#] blog as evidence in the
case against me.
But apparently you had to do a whole day of just the webcam scenes.
Yeah.
I mean, that's got to be pretty odd.
Down the barrel.
Yeah, it was really, but now it's weird because ever since EZA, I, I like to make suggestions
on set that no one ever agrees with, which is, wouldn't it be funny if just in this one
scene I just turned the camera and kind of gave it a wink or something?
You know, in movies that don't have that function, like breaking the fourth wall, and directors
are always like, yeah, maybe, I don't, I don't know if we're going to use it for this one,
but it's been like nine years and I'm still like, wouldn't it be kind of great though
if I just turned and I was like, right, you guys?
In the middle of a scene.
I think that a lot.
I think it's a great function.
It always makes me happy.
I always want to turn to the audience and like, what do you guys think about this?
Yeah, little wink.
Goodie.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _
[F#m] So I think you've said that it's the one movie that you've watched [E] many times of your own.
[F#] How many times now have you watched it?
[B] I think I've seen it like nine times, [E] which is insane.
I think any other movie I've done, I've probably seen at a maximum two times, at a max.
Most actors don't like watching [D#] themselves.
No, it's awful.
But La La Land _ is, there's something different about it because the world that it, you know,
the world that was created, and for some reason I'm able to, most times, there were like three
of the nine I had full sob fests for like an hour afterwards.
You're a baby.
_ I'm not a baby.
I'm trying to grow up.
You are.
You're crying like a baby.
Oh my God.
Truly, like about three of the nine.
But then the other times I was able to just sort of forget that it was me for a little bit.
Yeah.
Try to block it out.
I mean, I don't know that I could ever watch it again.
Now I'm done.
Now I'm done with La La Land. That's retired.
Nine and done.
I thought I could get to 10, but the last time I was like, ugh, crawling out of my skin.
So I don't know if it's a good idea to see it again.
[D] _ _ Let's jump to Battle of the Sexes.
And I've got to ask you, there are so many things you have to do to prepare for this movie.
Yeah.
Hello?
Eureka Billie Jean.
Bobby, [N] Bobby Riggs. _ _
Male chauvinist pig versus hairy-legged feminist.
No offense.
You're still a feminist, right?
I'm a tennis player who happens to be a woman.
Don't hang up.
And by the way, I shaved my legs.
Like you've got to get into the 70s setting.
Right.
You've got the whole tennis thing and you have to physically embody a human being that
the world knows really, really well.
_ So how did you manage it?
Because you, I was about to make a terrible joke by accident.
You aced it.
_ _ Game set match.
_ This is a real love match today.
Okay, so.
This is a deuce now.
_ _ Straight down the middle.
Billie Jean is always making tennis references.
So I'm actually, I'm totally used to this.
It was fantastic.
It was such a great challenge.
Playing a real person.
I'd never played a real person before.
So that alone was just like, oh boy.
And she's going to watch it.
Which adds a nice amount of pressure because you know every day that you're miserable getting
up to go weightlifting and like drinking these protein shakes and studying all of her speech
and her walk and everything.
It was like, she's going to see it.
Shut up and move.
Let's move.
I'm going to wrap things up with a few quickfire questions. Yes.
What would you say is the hidden gem of your career?
[E] A movie that not enough people have seen that you'd like [G] them to see?
A movie that really changed my life is a movie called Paper Man. _
_ [D] _ _ _ You cannot do [Bm] this.
You can't do that.
[F#] That was written and directed by [D] Karen and Michelle Mulroney.
That was a really important film to me.
[F] What mementos have you kept [E] from your movies?
I have the You've Come A Long Way Baby Virginia Slims keychain on my keychain now.
I don't have much.
I actually don't have much.
That's pretty good on your keychain still.
That one's pretty cool.
Yeah.
What do your fans most often say to you in the street?
You know what was really messed up?
Is it used to be, speaking of super bad, guys used to yell at me, are you DTF?
Because of super bad.
She's DTF.
She's down to.
But that doesn't happen anymore, thank God.
Woof.
And then there was a lot of pocket [G] full of sunshine for a while.
[F] _
_ _ [N] I got a pocket full. _ _
Oof.
No more of that thankfully.
But now, you know, usually like Lala Landy stuff.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Real pleasure.
Thank you.
Thank you. _
