Everything Seems Really Simple On Paper Until

Oh, Yeah, I Love Dvd's. I Don't Have What You'd Call An Extensive Collection, Maybe A Couple Of Hundred Or So. But I Have Something On Almost All The Time.

Our Pavlovian Response To Movies Has Gotten To Its Lowest Point Ever. You Look At A Lot Of Movies That Are Successful And A Lot Of Movies That Studios Hold Up As Examples And You Go, 'my God, That Isn't Even A Story. It Isn't Even Two Acts. It's Eight Set Pieces Drawn Out With Slow Motion.' The Difficulty For Me Was That You Had To Hope That People Were Interested In This Kind Of A Story.

You Know, I Don't Think I've Ever Listened To Someone's Commentary. Ever.

I Learned Just To Be A Belligerent Asshole, Which Was Really: "you Have To Get What You Need To Get Out Of It." You Have To Fight For Things You Believe In, And You Have To Be Smart About How You Position It So That You Don't Just Become White Noise.

If I See A Movie For The First Time On Dvd, I Watch It All The Way Through, The Lights Are Down, I Don't Pick Up The Phone. The Third Or Fourth Time You See A Movie, Sometimes You Just Have Them On And You Check In Every Once In A While With Things That You Liked. I Think It's A Different Expectations From That Environment.
