Here's an easy way to see if a war movie is being truthful: If you see an explosion on a faraway hillside and the sound of the explosion and the detonation of the bomb happen at the same time - if they're putting the sound and the vision together in ...
I was hoping, actually, that being on the other side of the camera in a scary movie, see how it's filmed and maybe you won't be as scared next time you watch one... didn't really work out! Because I know it's fake, but I just get so into it.
Sydney Chaplin: Nobody wants to see a movie about Adolf fucking Hitler. Charlie Chaplin: [shouts] I do! [with one hand throws a chair down the aisle, again fiercely shouts] Charlie Chaplin: I do!
Randal Graves: If Peter Jackson really wanted to blow me away with those "Rings" movies, he would have ended the third one on the logical closure point, not the 25 endings that followed.
Ronnie Neary: [the Neary children watch The Ten Commandants on TV] You know, that movie is four hours long. Roy Neary: I said they'd only watch five.
Emily: When I told you when I had to work late? I really went to go see the new Twilight movie by myself, and it was so bad.
[on the phone to Bunny] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Listen, hit the bars, work some parties, and get me transvestites. I need transvestites. All right. Bye. Bela Lugosi: Eddie, what kind of a movie is this?
Rob: John Dillinger was killed behind that theater in a hale of FBI gunfire. And do you know who tipped them off? His fucking girlfriend. All he wanted to do was go to the movies.
B-Movie Actress: So what do you do for a living? Harry: Uh, I'm retired. I invented dice when I was a kid. How about you do?
Batman: [to Lucy] If this relationship is going to work out between us I need to feel free to party with a bunch of strangers whenever I feel like it. I will text you.
Lucy: [about Batman's song] That's real music, Emmet. It's dark and brooding. Emmet: Hey, I can be dark and brooding too - Guys, look, a rainbow!
Lucy: [President Business demands the Piece de Resistance which Emmet has] We'd rather he die than give it to you. Emmet: I... would not rather he died.
Vitruvius: These mechanical birds will get our message out. They will go to an internet cafe and e-mail the remaining Master Builders, who will meet us in the secret realm of Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Gil Shepherd: Where's Tom? Cecilia: Why? Gil Shepherd: Well, he's my character. I created him. Cecilia: Didn't the man who wrote the movie do that?
[Levy suggested that writers could be eliminated and any old news story could provide a movie story idea] Bonnie Sherow: "Further Bond Losses Push Dow Down 7.15." I see Connery as Bond.

The Bollywood distribution system is so corrupt that they have trouble making money off movies. So they sell shoes that an actress stepped in. If they turned up the amps some, maybe they could sell the actresses.
Well, I was getting a lot of money then, and I wasn't getting any Hollywood films, so I just did those. I'd always do a play in between. Whenever I ran low on funds, I'd always rush off to do a movie somewhere.
I made a decision back in 1978 that, in a trade off for money when I directed Halloween, I would have my name above the title in order to basically brand these movies my own.
When Silence of the Lambs did well commercially it was more than anything. My partner Ed Saxon and I were just so relieved that finally we had made a movie that had made some money!
