David S. Goyer quotes about
book reading mean
I'm a big comic book geek and I've been reading comic books since pretty much since I was five or six in 1971 or something like that. So, I mean, I read it all and there's certainly a lot of different iterations of Superman that I personally have enjoyed more than others.
destroys experience player theory
There's a theory in gameplay, particularly in first person shooters, that sometimes you don't want to have that much of a character because then it destroys the experience of the player being that character.
assimilate comic hard jewish mainstream originally publishing time trying
When Superman was originally created, by Siegel and Shuster, they were two Jewish immigrants that were desperately trying to assimilate into America. They were having a hard time because they were Jewish. They wanted to get in to mainstream publishing but they couldn't. That's why they, and a lot of Jewish guys, went into comic books.
argue decide found instance ipad played realistic school sword totally
You have to decide what kind of story you're going to tell. For instance I would argue a movie like 'Toy Story 3,' which isn't realistic at all, is really emotional and involving. It just depends. I played this game called 'Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP' for iPad that is totally old school 8-bit, which I found very moving.
book successful people
It's ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won't even read science fiction books.
believe writing television
I believe when you're writing film or television, you can't rely on a crutch or rule that exists outside of the narrative of the film.
starks prototype
Da Vinci always seemed like the prototype Tony Stark to me.
book comic interest
I love comic books. I was weaned on them, so it's not like it's a stretch for me, but I have other interests, as well.
successful thinking games
I think there's really only been one successful video game adaptation, and that was probably 'Tomb Raider.' Whether or not you thought it was a good movie, it was successful financially.
character memorable games
Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.
character careers classic
During my career I've enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.
reading school kids
When I was a kid, I read many more Marvel comics than I did DC. As I got older, in high school and then in college, I started reading more DC.
ideas feelings sometimes
I relate to the feeling that Da Vinci was often plagued by the idea that what he did wasn't good enough, that he was his harshest critic. He'd sometimes destroy what he was working on.
looks aliens species
I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'
