I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good.
From Ivan Reitman
I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins, as is Dave, beyond Ghostbusters.
I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.
I'm not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now.
I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.
I've always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another.
In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there.
In many ways, I think that, while we've been remarkably violent in our media, there's been a real schizophrenia. In private, on the Internet, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we're way more explicit than we've ever been.
It's been about 15 years, and I've never really worked seriously in CGI and I thought that here was an opportunity to do the kinds of things that I was not able to do on Ghostbusters.
It's sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you're dealing with.
