While reading the Spectator, famed director Martin Scorsese saw an article about how Johnny wants to make a film despite having absolutely no experience.
Martin: Mr. DiMera, I understand that you want to make a film. Do you know anything about directing, handling actors, plot pacing, or creating sets?
Johnny: No, but so what? I've seen lots of famous films.
Martin: Perhaps, you might want to study some of my famous films, such as Gangs of New York.
Johnny: Is that the one where the Jets fight the Sharks and some guy sings about a girl named Maria?
Martin: Uh no. That was West Side Story. How about you take a look at my film Mean Streets.
Johnny: I've seen that. It stars those two really old guys, Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas as two stock market crooks.
Martin: Not really, you're thinking of Wall Street. Have you seen any of the classic westerns?
Johnny: You mean the ones starring Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers and Trigger, and the Lone Ranger and Tonto?
Martin: I give up.
