spiritual buddhist guy
There is a director who should make 'Silver Surfer' - he is mentally committed to it. He's doing another movie now. What's most important to me about this guy, first, is that he's incredible with visuals. But he's also a spiritual guy, a Zen Buddhist. ... Galactus is a force of nature, not a being. That's all I'm saying.
judging going-away stuff
On the first movie we got good reviews, but we were still dealing with genre stuff. It's going away. Judge the movie - is it a good one or a bad one? We know we made a great movie and it's being judged for just being a good film.
jobs book kids
Listen, my day job is also Chief Creative Officer for Marvel, and it's a very painful job because we publish a lot of books, and there are things I see where I can punch people out. Therefore, we have some new people now, and the kids are going to read our books.
thinking make-you-think should
Everything you see that makes you think about the comics, I think you should read into it.
crazy hero emotional
The other thing is we have an incredible villain. And we worked very hard to have villains that are connected to the hero. They have an effect, an emotional effect. They never become out-of-this-world, crazy villains.

At the same time, as you know, unless you are a comic book reader, Daredevil is not a known thing.
people aviation comic
Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.
new-york costumes said
The skeptics said you can't put on a costume in the middle of New York - which isn't true, because everyone's in a costume here.
technology years people
Obviously, CGI in the last ten years has gone through such leaps and bounds that today, people are looking for these kinds of movies to wow audiences with technology.
character heart stories
Once we got over the origin story, we could really delve deeper into their lives and characters and angst. So this movie actually has more heart, more humor.
dvds office community
But the community knew Blade, and everybody but us was shocked at the box office, and subsequently the DVD. That was the beginning of the DVD revolution, and Blade was just like wildfire.
drama believe unanswered-questions
You have to believe in the arthouse, if you will - the emotion, the conflict, the who am I, which will always be an unanswered question. If you do it right, you have a smaller drama, and a great movie.
despair aviation get-up
When you get to know me, I don't despair - I just get up, clean up, and start again.
thinking people world
I think well-read people - the world is open to them.
