You're So Stupid, Rose!

I Always Do Makeup Touch-ups Myself, Especially For Blood, Wounds, And Dirt. It Saves So Much Time.

I Don’t Feel That I’m Making Movies For Iphones. If Someone Wants To Watch It On An Iphone, I’m Not Going To Stop Them, Especially If They’re Paying For It, But I Don’t Recommend It. I Think It’s Dumb, When You Have Characters That Are So Small In The Frame That They’re Not Visible. I’m Trying To Make An Epic.

Literary Science Fiction Is A Very, Very Narrow Band Of The Publishing Business. I Love Science Fiction In More Of A Pop-culture Sense. And By The Way, The Line Between Science Fiction And Reality Has Blurred A Lot In My Life Doing Deep Ocean Expeditions And Working On Actual Space Projects And So On. So I Tend To Be More Fascinated By The Reality Of The Science-fiction World In Which We Live.

The Literature Now Is So Opaque To The Average Person That You Couldn't Take A Science-fiction Short Story That's Published Now And Turn It Into A Movie. There'd Be Way Too Much Ground Work You'd Have To Lay. It's Ok To Have Detail And Density, But If You Rely On Being A Lifelong Science-fiction Fan To Understand What The Story Is About, Then It's Not Going To Translate To A Broader Audience.
