A Good Movie Humanizes People.

The Kindest Compliments I Have Ever Heard Are When Cops Tell Me Training Day And Assault On Precinct 13 Inspired Them To Become Cops. The Funniest Compliments I Have Ever Heard Are When People Tell Me That 'i Love Your Band Sugar Ray.

The Thing That Makes A Great Genre Movie Is One That's Not Just Entertainment, Not Just Horror Or Sci-fi Or Whatever. The Ones I Love Are The Genre Pictures With Some Subversive Message Underlying It All.

It Was When I Was On The Set Of Dead Poets Society.there Was Actor,his Name Was Norman Lloyd. One Day He Took Us All Aside And Said, "you Guys Don't Even Understand What A Powerful Experience You're Having. You Don't Really Understand What A Gift This Is." We Were Going, "what Does He Mean?" It Was That Really Wonderful Opportunities Aren't To Be Taken For Granted. I Often Found That It Had Embedded Itself In My Memory.

It Just Makes Sense To Remember Gratitude And The Place That Gratitude Should Have In Your Life, And That None Of Us Are Owed These Wonderful Experiences, And We Should Always Make The Best Of Them.

Good Genre Movies Are A Little Bit Like Trying To Write A Haiku. There Are Certain Things That You Have To Do To Fulfill The Audience's Expectations, But Inside That, You Have Complete Freedom To Talk About Whatever You Want. Who Wants To See A Movie About Gun Violence In America And Class? But, If You Set It In This Terrifying, Fun, Roller Coaster Ride Of A Movie, You Can Talk About Whatever You Want. That's Been The Game That Genre Movies Play, When They Do It Well.
