I Always Say Everyone Was Lucky Enough

Human Beings Are Amazing At Finding Ways To Waste Their Own Time.

Our Pavlovian Response To Movies Has Gotten To Its Lowest Point Ever. You Look At A Lot Of Movies That Are Successful And A Lot Of Movies That Studios Hold Up As Examples And You Go, 'my God, That Isn't Even A Story. It Isn't Even Two Acts. It's Eight Set Pieces Drawn Out With Slow Motion.' The Difficulty For Me Was That You Had To Hope That People Were Interested In This Kind Of A Story.

I Want Stuff To Play As Wide As Possible. I Want To Be Able To See... If I Could Play The Whole Thing In A Master And It Could Be Compelling Enough, That'd Be Great. Then It Simplifies My Day, It Simplifies Life For The Actors When You Could Just Focus On That. But By The Same Token I Don't Want To Be Forced Into Coverage. So I Want It To Be As Good From Every Angle And I Need To Get As Many Of The Kind Of Shadings That I Want From Every Angle.

I Think Title Sequences Are An Opportunity To Sort Of Set The Stage Or To Get People Thinking In Different Terms Than Maybe Whatever They Understand The Movie To Be Going In.

I Like The Idea Of R-rated Franchises.
