I Do Know When You Look At

As Soon As Digital Editing Came About, I Immediately Made The Switch To Digital.

The Interesting Thing About Movies, It's Not Always - Y'know, You Have To Have Structure Etc And All Those Things, But An Audience Responds, In Many Ways, We Walk Away And Certain Things Stay In Our Heads That Are Memorable.

If You Test Iron Man And That Audience Doesn't Respond Well, You Can Be Damn Sure That There Is Something Wrong With The Movie That You Have To Address. Because They're Expecting A Certain Amount Of Action, Right? They Want A Hero. There Are Certain Things That Have To Be Compatible With The Way The Audience Is Thinking About It. If You Take Some Other Film, Like No Country For Old Men, You Can End Up With All Kinds Of Crazy Reactions.

Rain Man Certainly Didn't Test Really Well. If You Look At It Carefully, You Have A Disease Autism They Didn't Understand Back Then, They Didn't Know In The Test Audience Whether It's Okay To Laugh Or Not Laugh, Because It's A Film That's Done In A Way Where, "well, Maybe I'm Not Supposed To Laugh." At The End Of The Film, Dustin Hoffman Gets On The Train And Doesn't Even Acknowledge His Brother. Not Even A Glance, Nothing. That's Why The Studio Said, "can't You Just Have Him Look At Tom Cruise At The End Of The Film?"

Even Back In The '90s, I Shot Certain Things On Something That Wasn't Digital Then, But It Was On Vhs With A Smaller Camera And We Would Up It To Film.
