At this time he was literally told by doctors that his heart could stop at any time - mostly likely either during eating, waking up, or going to the toilet - as it turned out it was going to the toilet, where he died taking a shit while reading a newly released biography of oliver stone
The way he casually slipped that in was such a perfect distillation of his sharp mind's MO: he could look at the whole scene from above and summarize it totally in a single line.
Don and Jerry are those types of movie producers are so damn passionate about making movies. I'm sure there are producers out there that love movies but Don and Jerry were a rare breed. Btw Hackman and Washington were 100% perfect and amazing in their roles. I couldn't see anyone else playing those characters. I had no idea Quentin Tarantino was an uncredited writer on the movie. Good idea from the late Tony Scott to bring him on
In High Concept he’s mentioned as obviously being an intellectual being the creative force behind the movies he produced, and Bruckheimer handled the administrative stuff
On January 19, 1996, Simpson was found dead in the bathroom of his Bel Air, Los Angeles home. His death was initially attributed to "natural causes." An autopsy and toxicology report later determined that Simpson had died of heart failure caused by combined drug intoxication (cocaine and prescription medications) while going to the bathroom. At the time of his death, there were 21 different drugs in his system including antidepressants, stimulants, sedatives, and tranquilizers. In August 1996, investigative reporter Chuck Philips of The Los Angeles Times revealed that Simpson had been obtaining large quantities of prescription drugs from 15 different doctors, and that police found 2,200 prescription pills lined up in alphabetical order in his bedroom closet. A 1998 book by journalist Charles Fleming reported that Simpson's prescription drug expenses totaled more than $60,000 a month at the time of his death. He also referred to Don Simpson as "a supercharged simple-minded creature, an Aesop's fable on crystal meth."
14:06. The thing is, Don Simpson was such a professional, in literally every aspect. Look at how calmly and casually he answers the question, while also being on a level nobody here could possibly fathom. Literally had perfect control of his physical condition. Nobody else swipes their nose with such grace and elegance.
Simpson was a genius. A flawed one, for sure, but a movie-making genius nonetheless. Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, BHC2, Bad Boys, Crimson Tide, The Rock - dude fucking rocked.
Both are/were very intelligent people. I've seem some documentaries on Don Simpson and I have to say his level of addiction was quite scary. Actually the way he lived his life was quite scary. In some ways it's remarkable he lived as long as he did, and he wasn't even 53.
Say what you will about Hollywood, but they made pretty awesome, to just decent movies back in the day. Now, politics have poisoned everything. Nothing can just be a fun action romp anymore.
I love how when I first watched this interview I didn't understand the comments. Now after watching TAFS ep. 155 I get the references to my good friend Nick Mullen$
I watched these days The Rock (1996), the last movie from Don and Jerry. 1995, when this interview occurred, The Rock was in production, being the last collaboration for separated careers. Wikipedia says this was choice of Jerry, because of high Don's addiction with cocaine and hookers (gooood life!). Don died in January/1996 with The Rock dedicated to him.
"We saw a submarine on the television and said.... we should make a movie about a submarine😏 then we paid someone else to make the entire movie down to the script" "Everyone listening here tonight is inspired by your creativity. Go ahead and just name drop celebrities for 25 minutes." Pure insanity.

Days of Thunder didn't work as well because it's not as good as Top Gun and at that time Studios were coming into Summer of '90 trying to throw everything into the new decade . Movies were cancelling each other out ...with a few exceptions . Back to the Future 3, Bird on a wire, Dick Tracy, Robocop 2 , Another 48hrs, Total Recall, Die Hard 2 ...later Ghost. ...it was the highest grossing movie released that summer , by summers end Total Recall & Die Hard 2, Dick Tracy were the only 3 movies to gross over $100m at the box office. Ghost passed those number during the early part of fall. Days of Thunder was well made and had solid box office numbers, but asking it to be Top Gun was too much of a tall order
I was 9 at the time. I remember even then thinking, ‘this is a bad time’. It really was. The music was mostly terrible. The fashion was god awful. The comics sucked. And the movies, as you clearly listed above, we outrageously bad. The reason Ghost must have done so well that summer is because it actually had heart. Everything at that time just seemed like a money grab. Not disguised anything, just an overt and unabashed money grab. Plus everyone was coked the fuck out. And then something happened. There was a kind of renaissance. In almost all things. Hip hop had acts like Tribe Called Quest and Organized Konfusion and the likes being things in a new direction. Hair metal gave way to Grunge. Robocop 2 and Die Hard 2 (truly one of the worst ever action movies) gave way to Terminator 2. I say all of this because it seems like we’ve been living in a prolonged version of ‘89-‘91 for some time now. I’m hopeful that these things are cyclical and we’re on the precipice of something really noteworthy.
@@alexbaum2204 Everyone in general was coked out or everyone involved in the movie business? What happened in/after '91 that made subsequent years better other than getting out of the economic recession of that time?

he was often worried about his own drug usage and eating habits, and fluctuated between bouts of sobriety & dieting and the more well-known binging. In quite literally his final days he was seeing numerous doctors and psychiatrists, and talking to an old friend who was then at Universal about finding a new home there. The guy (Casey?) called him hours after he'd died (obv before anyone knew) and a message was found on Don's home phone about setting up a meeting to talk terms.

Don and Jerry looked like a mob boss and his head lawyer.
Studeb You ‘re not wrong anyway!😂
Three years later, this is still a perfect comment. It's so true. Especially with Don's slicked back hair.
Then, I'm missed Don Simpson in the Last Film of Producer called "The Rock"
Haha. Brando and Duvall. Wait. Pacino and Penn.
Thanks Nick for bringing me here!
Every time Don speaks Jerry looks at him as if he is analyzing what he is saying. As if questioning "Don't fuck up"
I agree totally.
“We love making pictures”
RIP the last genius of Hollywood
Shame he was so flawed.
lol genius? ummm okay
Genius < Cocaine
I feel you, an inimitable, often inscrutable brilliance
One year before Don’s departure. Both incredibly talented guys, very passionate about movies and quality
Charlie rose to the occasion and made love to Don's father.
bad boys is the reason we go to movies crimson tide is the reason we make movies

highly intelligent guy, obviously.
he just LOVES making movies!
I mean, he seems pretty coked up
Meh. Im betting with Draftings.

That last line makes him sound like the doctor from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I wish I had a father figure or uncle like one of these two men back in the day.
I literally listened to this Bc Jerry’s voice is super calming.

Why does Charlie Rose continuously cut off Bruckheimer after asking him a question? He never let the poor man finish a sentence.
Typical ego issues.
I'm gonna say goodbye to Don Simpson, I'll Make a Company called "Jerry Bruckheimer Films"
Mainly he's a terrible interviewer
He does this in just about every interview I've ever seen him do.
It’s so annoying when he does that
Hell yeah dude
Thanks Nick!

This is months before Bruckheimer broke up their partnership, and Simpson overdosed and died.

Really? Did he beat the habit? I guess he's from CA. Do a lot of people use that stuff there?
