As A Director, I Really Wanted To

I'm The Biggest Proponent Of Test Screenings Now. There's Two Ways To Face Test Screenings. For Dramas, I Don't Know If I Would Rely On Them As Much, Although I Still Think You Need Them, Because You're Making A Movie For An Audience At The End Of The Day. But With Comedy... You Could Go Through A Script Or Anything I Ever Worked On, Where You Go, "this Is Hilarious," And You Put It In Front Of People And You Get Nothing. And Then The Other Side Of It, Is Something You're Like, "i Think This Is Really Stupid," And It Gets A Giant Laugh.

The Greatest Way For People To Experience A Comedy Is To Go In Not Knowing Anything About It. But Because Of Marketing, It's Impossible. Marketing Meaning That In Order To Get People To Come You Can't Just Go, 'hey, There's A Great Movie - We're Not Going To Show You Anything From It But Trust Us!

Every Director Should Take An Acting Class.

Who Knew There Were So Many Ghosts To Be Busted In The World?

What I Don't Like Is When I See Stuff That I Know Has Had A Lot Of Improv Done Or Is Playing Around Where There's No Purpose To The Scene Other Than To Just Be Funny. What You Don't Want Is Funny Scene, Funny Scene, Funny Scene, And Now Here's The Epiphany Scene And Then The Movie's Over.
