The engineering drawing of the hula hoop with the name "extruded plastic dingus" is the funniest shot in the sequence, actually

The Hudsucker Proxy is my favorite movie. Growing up, my family had a New Years Eve tradition where my dad would finally get to pick the movie we watched as a family. He used those nights to introduce us to lesser-known film gems (eg, Spielberg's Duel). One year when I was a teenager, he put on The Hudsucker Proxy. After it was over, I stared at the credits with my mouth open. I didn't know before that night that movies could do that, could be so stylistic, could move you emotionally AND make you laugh AND be so witty AND feel so ethereal and whimsical—like a cartoon for grown ups. The opening scene is, to this day, one of the most moving several minutes I've ever experienced—the mood, the visual style, the slow camera, the gently falling snow, the narrator's voice, the commentary about the fleeting nature of significance, all culminating in that rush of sweeping music that gets me every time. I love the visual metaphors of "going round in a circle" and "moving up and down again" (karma vs corporate America, second changes, and more). Then there is the light touch of magical realism with the clock engineer and the janitor being not-always-passive deities that (it's only just occurring to me) remind one of the feeling you get from the Eyes of TJ Eckleberg.
For me, the spiritual cousin of The Hudsucker Proxy is Joe vs The Volcano. These are movies that are deceptively meaningful and profound in their observations about life and meaning, but because they are a bit childlike in their earnestness and exaggerated in their style, they go unnoticed and under-appreciated. But oh, these are stories. Told by people who have something to say and a personal taste in a way to say it. I'm grateful for these movies. I only wish they were more lucrative so there could be more of them.

Having seen the interviews that Pierce Films has released on youtube, the bit about the city in Hudsucker Proxy looking like Gotham City... is... because those models from Hudsucker Proxy got reused whenever pretty much any Hollywood film needed tall buildings during the latter half of the 90s. And that included Schumachers both Batman films, Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Shadow.
They were expensive to build so dangit, the FX house wanted their moneys worth from what they made.

Raimi is a noble guy. He defended John Woo when the studios wanted him to direct instead of the Hong Kong legend.

My wife and I love this movie; we are forever stuck adding "you know, for kids" to completely unrelated phrases.

You know, for kids!

Hudsucker Proxy is my favorite coen brothers movie because it enters my super specific microgenre of fairy tales that aren't exactly fairy tales and are also kinda dark. Other movies in this genre includes Perfume and Big Fish

Sam Raimi being a collaborator with the Coen brothers explains so much about Raising Arozona an why it is still my favourite Coen movie. It's a prefect cocktail of both.
So happy we will get to see the movie soon - and ecstatic we'll get a Rugrats shout out in it!

I only got round to this film recently whilst rounding up all of the less popular entries in the Coens filmography, and I was shocked at how good it was.
It truly feels like a forgotten classic, the production style, sets, performances, EVERYTHING comes together to fit a specific tone that feels very nostalgic. And it has one of the best sequences commited to film, in the hula sequence.
Everyone who never bothered to see this when it came out truely owes to that scene and Jennifer Jason Lee's performance. Both are at a level to where they should have been referenced heavily through pop culture all through the past 30 years.
I think it might become an annual Christmas time film for me

"Raimi tells mythic stories about cursed protagonists"
Wow. It's almost like he was destined to direct a Dr Strange movie based on the trends in his filmography.

"I can't blow a bubble with gum, ugh, I'm a failure . . . bye." That was some great Charlie Brown vibes right there.

Raimi's theme is pretty simple. He has an keen understanding of the Absurd and what makes life feel, well, Alive. His theme is the Absurd.

Wow. I watched "The Hudsucker Proxy" soon after it came out, and the only thing I really remember is that montage. (In part, this is because the "how much should this cost" bit is an eerily accurate representation of how upper management often ignores research.) At the time this montage also reminded me of the short film, "The Red Balloon," which I still contend was delilberate.

I love how Patrick takes an concept, explicates it very well, but then goes one further and gets meta about it in a really convincing way. In this video it was "this hula hoop is like the reception of the movie itself." In one of the Mission Impossible videos it was about how Ethan Hunt is whoever Tom Cruise (or his public persona) is at that moment. Really interesting, clever perspectives I never would have thought of.

It's interesting that you should say that the city in Hudsucker looks like Gotham. The models they created for this film were rented out by the studio afterwards to other studios due to the cost of making them. One of the films they rented it out to was... Batman Forever

Raimi is a true artist. I would put Edgar Wright among the top montage-ists of all time, too. Actually, there seems like a lot of overlap in their style. I wonder if Wright was inspired by Raimi?

9:11 The stark contrast change in Patrick, Him being energized throughout this part is what makes me love. In lieu to the scene he is talking about, which in itself is a packet of frenzy being unpacked.

Literally signed up last year for Nebula to see the Charles Saga ending, since then the subscription ran out. But honestly I'll sign up again to see it!
Thanks Patrick, can't wait to see your masterpiece

For the season finale, will there be a condensed video of everything leading up to it? I have been following, but it would be nice to have a concise video of the story in the lead up to the finale. Looking forward to watching it in a month!

you're forgetting the greatest Coens/Raimi collab of them all: Raimi's wordless cameo as a cop dual-wielding revolvers who gets shot to death in Miller's Crossing
