I Always Claim That The Writer Has Done 90 Percent Of The Director's Work.

I Have A Great Respect For The Moviegoing Experience. It's Such A Unique Thing. You're Not Getting Up And Walking Around The House Or Flipping Channels During The Dull Parts. You're In A Dark Space, And The Movie Fills Most Of Your Field Of Vision. You're Surrounded By Sound, And The Colors Are Deeply Saturated, And Faces Are Fifteen Feet High. If It's Done Well, You're Really Going To Feel Some Big Emotions Or Have Some Big Belly Laughs.
