I'm trying to be a voice of reason. I'm not trying to stop them from developing.

If a story doesn't give you a hard-on in the first couple of scenes, throw it in the goddamned garbage.

I don't care if it's a mystery story, a Western, or the story of Julius Caesar. To me it's the emotion, the lies, the double-cross, whether it's Brutus doing it to Caesar or Bob Stack doing it to Robert Ryan that defines what kind of drama it is.
film filmmaker battleground
Film is a battleground.

A woman is just a script, but a cigar is a motion picture.
fighting survival there-is-hope
When you're in the battlefield, survival is all there is.
