regret
Erm, I don't really have any regrets.
comedy reviews feels
I feel reviewers are tougher on comedies in general. They don't take them seriously, and the ones that get great reviews are not necessarily the ones that I like.
comedy feedback audience
In comedy, though, it's good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.
different care pages
I just feel I'm on a different page from the reviewers, so I've learned not to care about them too much.
real guy mind
Clint Eastwood. Here's a guy who's been involved in so many movies, lots of them masterpieces, and now he's a director. I just like everything I know about him. He's very decisive, he makes up his mind real quick.
unusual-things world comedy
In the world of comedy, having a partner is not the most unusual thing.
years long waiting
We wanted to do a sequel with Jim and Jeff. They said that the word was that Jim didn't want to do any sequels. We approached him and he said he would do it, but not until next year. New Line said it was too long to wait.
dad kids thinking
We love the Stooges, and young kids today don't watch them. They think it's their dad's comedy. So we thought we could reintroduce them to a new audience.
hurt feels jokes
We feel that what's too far is when you make a joke and somebody gets hurt.
writing challenges paper
Writing is very difficult. You have 120 pages of blank paper and it's like, "Go fill that up with some funny stuff," and that's challenging.
thinking pay lasts
You know, I can't remember the last movie I walked out of. If I pay, I'll see it through. I can't be halfway through a movie and think that I know everything that's going to happen, because I hope that I'm wrong.
powerful reality thinking
I think the last one would have to be The Godfather because it was such a powerful story. There was lots of violence in it but I could take it because I thought there was a reality to it. It wasn't gratuitous, it was just these guys story.
moving thinking keys
I think that's the key to being a director: to be able to get the shot and move on quickly.
