belongs childhood encourage power ruin
I would just encourage people: your childhood belongs to you, and don't give anyone, especially me, the power to ruin your childhood.
advance cinematic experience magicians mystery point proponent reached telling theatrical tricks
I'm such a proponent of the theatrical experience and the cinematic experience, and we've reached this point where the magicians are not only giving away their tricks, but they're telling us how they're doing the tricks in advance before you even come to the magic show. It'd be nice to get a little of the mystery back in.
kid movies watched
I was not a kid who watched every movie. I watched a very small number of movies over and over again.
amazing bringing feels gambling room scene stuff talking
I was re-watching 'E.T.' recently, and that scene where they're all around the pizza, bringing the pizza in, and gambling and stuff together, it's such an amazing tone, it's so rough, and nobody's really talking about anything, and it feels like you're in that room with them.
exist humans scale
Intimacy between humans need not be relegated to independent film. Real characters can exist no matter what the scale of a movie is.
corner limited people telling
I feel like we've found an interesting little corner of the sandbox here as far as the way we're telling sci-fi stories. I don't think it's limited to sci-fi - I think anything fantastic can co-exist with people you and I know, and not these hyper-real movie people.

'Intelligent Life' is kind of a companion piece to 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' Internally, it's a sci-fi romantic thriller.
dinosaurs kids love stage
Kids go through a stage where they love dinosaurs - boy or girl.
monster sort ways
In a movie that's sort of a single monster movie, like 'Jaws,' once you see the animal, it identifies the threat, and you're able to start working on ways to take down the threat.
directing filmmakers instead joking kids mom suddenly
I was joking with my mom that all Jewish mothers now will want their kids to be filmmakers instead of doctors. Because you can make one film, and suddenly you're directing a 'Jurassic Park' movie.
relationship wished
I think that no relationship goes completely according to plan or the way you wished it had.
masculine
I thought Charlize Theron was awesome in 'Mad Max,' and that was a very masculine kind of hero.
attempted people rarely romantic
There's no shame in being romantic at all. I think people want to feel that sense of romance, which is rarely even attempted anymore.

In high school, I worked at The Video Room in Oakland, California. It had the largest selection of laser discs in the Bay Area. One guy owned all of them.
