'larry Crowne' Is About As Bummed Out

Even The Simplest Choice Can Make A Jaw-dropping Difference In Our World.

Prior To Saving Private Ryan I Never Worked With Men. I Was Always Working With Some Babe, And It Was Always About Falling In Love, And It Just Got Turned Around. I'm Not Looking For Any Particular Kind Of Story. I Wait Until It Comes Across My Desk.

The Pixar People Continuously Amaze Me. They Come Up With Something That Actually Looks As Though It Takes Place In This Happy, Real-world. Every Plot Line Is Not Just Plausible, But Oddly Authentic. The Stories Are Full Of Adventure, Humor And Love. The Characters Are Written With Great Human Dimension. I Don't Know How They Do It But They Astound Me.

The Easiest Thing To Do Is To Rag On The Media, Because It Isn't Doing A Very Good Job Right Now. It Is So Much Easier To Profit From Celebrating The Worst Aspects Of Ourselves.

I'm Not Saying I'm Not Bummed If A Movie Doesn't Do Well, But That Isn't The Final Analysis Of Whether It's Any Good.
