Grandma Woody and Ed watch the movie Ordet (1955).
Amongst Ed's pen pals: Marty Scorcese, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg (owns his baseball cap), and Francis Ford Coppola. He also knows Carmine Coppola, Francis' father. But his greatest influence is Louis Malle.
Ed's film is originally titled "The Brink of Emptiness".
The track playing when Fleischman and Maurice are talking in the bar, One more Kiss Dear, was originally written for Blade Runner.
