designed female four genre hit male older
The action genre is kind of designed for a young male audience. But we found on 'The Matrix' that we hit the Valhalla of movie making, which is the four quadrant audience - the young male audience, the older male audience, the young female audience and the older female audience.

The ivory-billed woodpecker that (was up last week) was thought to be extinct. (Recently, sounds) have been heard which sound like it, and we are beginning to get confirmation that they do actually come from the ivory-billed woodpecker. To celebrate its 'coming out of extinction,' we turned to its page. People came to see.

I don't claim to know how to sell anything. I'm a geek.

If the audience sees and feels things are real, then they buy it.

Well, I haven't really been able to shoot in California for a while. Little movies yeah, but the big movies we can't shoot there. It's just a shame that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't deliver on this level.

The only time I use women in films is when they're naked or dead.

I really was very impressed with DMX during the whole experience on 'Romeo Must Die.' I like working with him. I liked him. And I was very impressed with the reaction of the audience when he was in the picture.

It's hard to shoot anything in L.A.; it's just a chore, but they're great here.

It's so hard and impossible to shoot in L.A. The costs are astronomical.

It's financially advantageous to make a picture in Berlin, Germany. They have a very effective rebate system.
nice sequels
I always like to make sequels. It's a nice business to be in.

I will always continue to make stupid action films but I think 'V For Vendetta' is a very smart film and I think that people will feel differently about things when they see it.

There aren't a lot of guys like me left. But I'm a war horse. I've been through it all. And you know something about war horses? Through the sleet, through the snow, they just keep going.

The most effective 3D movies I have ever seen are the animated movies because they are designed.
