I think it's very boring for a director to always do the same kind of movies.
You'll see a lot more blood in 'Saw' movies or something like that than you will in either of the 'Last House' movies. I kind of think it owes more to 'The Virgin Spring' which is the original source material, the Bergman movie.
When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.
While I was writing 'The Last Werewolf,' I didn't watch any horror movies.
I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early '80s.
If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.
I go to New York to see live shows, not movies.
The comics I read as a kid were much more influenced by TV and movies. Encountering superheroes as an adult without that kind of childhood sentimentality, it just doesn't allow you, or in my case at least, it wouldn't let me take the characters serio...
We're into this barrage of pop culture - you know, TV, movies, the Internet. We become creatures that we've made up, made of certain different flotsam from pop culture and certain different personas that are in style.
I always wish the hotels were like they are in movies and TV shows, where if you're in Paris, right outside your window is the Eiffel Tower. In Egypt, the pyramids are right there. In the movies, every hotel has a monument right outside your window. ...
I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies.
There's been a vacuum with movies that people can relate to. There's been a paucity of dramas that people can relate to. I think audiences are clamoring to connect - particularly after 9/11 - with things that are genuine and real and I think document...
Movies like 'The Abyss' and 'Jaws' make people think the ocean is threatening. It's not. It's very tranquil.
Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
Sometimes movies that I'm in that I have a leading role don't necessarily get the biggest release, so it's a difficult thing between balancing indies that have uncertain futures and maybe larger films that have guaranteed releases that you have a sma...
I loved all those classic figures from the '30s and '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the ...
The irony is that you can't use real rain to make movies.
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.
There's no difference between movies and television. None at all. Except in a lot of cases, television's much better than movies.
