But it took a Murrow, because Murrow had an audience unlike any of these other guys.
activism fascinated grow talked
We didn't grow up in that generation. But we're fascinated by that time. We've talked about what that kind of activism must have been like. I think this is kind of our way of experiencing it.
couch head slept
We've been friends for 25 years, and he slept on my couch when he couldn't get a job. I loaned him $100 (56 pounds) so he could get his first set of head shots, so it's particularly gratifying, truly, for me to see him rise.

decent films might money perform
There are films that cost a lot of money that might be decent films. But if they don't perform in that first weekend or two, they're gone.

'Monuments Men' is a movie... I don't want to say for grown-ups, because some young folks could appreciate it, too. But if you're expecting 'Transformers,' you're going to be disappointed.

art bell fan fascinated guy guys listened named overnight psychic remote spies talked time viewing
I was a big fan of this guy named Art Bell - I don't know if you've heard of him before. I listened to his overnight show for years, and he had all these guys on at one time or another, and they talked about psychic spies and remote viewing and all that stuff. I actually was fascinated by it - more about the guys than about what they were doing.
contained good
When you look at a film like 'The Ides of March' or 'Good Night, and Good Luck' even, those are really contained pictures.
