I'm all about scary movies! The 'Halloweentown' ones are my absolute favorites.
I think for some reason we're conditioned in movies that the protagonist must be heroic or redeemable in some way, whereas in theater, that's not a necessary.
People resent movies that try to tell them exactly what to feel.
A lot of movies are made to make us dream.
But what I really like are old Hollywood movies. Very often I watch AMC.
Action movies today are going to so fast, you can't say you're going to do everything faster and faster.
I'm not a fan of action movies.
I like thrillers. My style of movies are closer to thrillers.
Even if you look at the 'Paranormal Activity' movies, at the end of the movie things get really crazy and nutty, but they all start in a very mundane situation that people can relate to, and that's also to some degree what we tried to do in 'Chernoby...
Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies.
I do not buy CDs any more; I usually stream Internet radio. For movies, I hardly every buy any DVDS. I have a DVR, so just record things off HBO, Showtime and so on.

I'm terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily.
There's an electrical thing about movies.
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself...
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
My boyfriend and I just got a projector, so we've been screening movies on the roof and projecting them against the wall next door. The last one we did, the theme was, 'The Russians are coming.' So we screened 'Red Dawn' and 'Top Gun.'
When I was young, watching historical movies made me feel absolutely sublime. But the first few times I visited costume museums, I was really disappointed because it was not at the level I saw in movies. It was not the level of the image I'd imagined...
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.
I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows.
