Straight white males: that's the predominant moviegoing category, and the persistence of that is a dismaying maintenance of the status quo.

Most Pixar films are better than most live action films.

Poor decisions and bad luck are contingencies of most horror films.

Sometimes a movie knows you're watching it. It knows how to hold and keep you, how, when it's over, to make you want it all over again.

The problem with a lot of movies when it comes to race is that they want to be moral, and they want to make the audience feel good about something that a lot of people don't feel good about.

I definitely have a kind of Stockholm Syndrome for superhero movies because it's very clear that's the era we're in. It's like Christianity in the Middle Ages.

I like Nora Ephron. She wasn't a critic in the strictest sense of the word, but she did a lot of social criticism. She was so funny and so in the right place at the right time.

I just have to be able to follow and enjoy the writer's voice and the writer's point of view. Liking what the person has to say is not really important to me.

Sidney Poitier became a star in part by helping black and white Americans negotiate their new relationship in the post-Civil Rights era.

Sidney Lumet's chief preoccupation wasn't art. It was right and wrong in the American city, nearly always in New York.

In the Mac vs. PC ads, Apple bills itself as the antidote to Microsoft. To love Apple wasn't to sell out. It was to buy in. Most people use PCs, but Apple has the mindshare.

You must refuse to succumb to every ungodliness and injustice.

Lost serie are full of depression I think or there is some kind of like this... I don't know up to where I could get... but I will try my best.

You cannot gather much truth by searching the fields; you must sink shafts.

I leave a lot open so I can fill it in later. If I don't have any ideas right away, I can fill it in later.

There's something bad in everything good and something good in everything bad.

Singers always have an advantage. You know, everyone can connect to a song in a way that they cannot do to a basketball act or a magician act or whatever.

The best way to appreciate our political process is to volunteer for a campaign and support a candidate you believe in.

I'd like to see a slasher movie set in the depression.
