I Felt As If I Had Attended

If There Is Any Test That Can Be Applied To Movies, It's That The Good Ones Never Make You Feel Virtuous.

A Good Movie Can Take You Out Of Your Dull Funk And The Hopelessness That So Often Goes With Slipping Into A Theatre; A Good Movie Can Make You Feel Alive Again, In Contact, Not Just Lost In Another City. Good Movies Make You Care, Make You Believe In Possibilities Again.

Tasteful And Colossal Are - In Movies, At Least - Basically Antipathetic.

Writers Who Go To Hollywood Still Follow The Classic Pattern: Either You Get Disgusted By 'them' And You Leave Or You Want The Money And You Become Them.

Good Movies Make You Care, Make You Believe In Possibilities Again. If Somewhere In The Hollywood-entertainment World Someone Has Managed To Break Through With Something That Speaks To You, Then It Isn’t All Corruption. The Movie Doesn’t Have To Be Great; It Can Be Stupid And Empty And You Can Still Have The Joy Of A Good Performance, Or The Joy In Just A Good Line. An Actor’s Scowl, A Small Subversive Gesture, A Dirty Remark That Someone Tosses Off With A Mock-innocent Face, And The World Makes A Little Bit Of Sense.
