Cameo?/dancers/ending


Was that Benecio del Toro in the elevator? Sorry, forget just when, but pretty sure it was at the CM.

Not that I have much to go by, but I thought the twin pole dancers - how "cute" - were pretty awful. Daryl Hannah did a much better job in Dancing at the Blue Iguana, and at probably twice their age.

Anyone know what the ending is meant to imply? In particular, why did he - it looked like this to me - turn his car key to Acc? I don't recall any music coming on, for example.

Thanks for any clarification!

It works better for the dancers to not be perfectly in sync or completely professional, and look like amateurs.

This! They were so amateur (seemingly) and chill. Made them infinitely more adorable.

Quite the opposite actually, there's a sense of alluring rawness and genuine sexual tension in the twin's performance, what i would call effortlessly attractive, as there was little to no preparation and the director literally just type "hot twins" in Google to find them. Upon their arrival at the scene, the crew just gave them the two poles and start filming  Further more, the point is that their only audience is in a numb state of hedonistic overdrive.

While Daryl Hannah's performance is pretty much on the other side of the spectrum. I see a middle aged woman caked up in all kind of accessories to make her look "sexy", the try hard glamour lighting, the camera direction, I can almost see the director screaming "CUT, CUT, AGAIN" while instructing her to bend this way and that way. It's a rather sad and desperate effort to create any semblance of manufactured eroticism. Comparing Coppola's scene to this drivel is like comparing red wine Tuna au Poivre to deep fried cheeseburger.

The ending implies that the writer saw the last episode of Californication, lol.
