Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.
From Ivan Reitman
My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form.
My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.
The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.
Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof.
We got some devastating reviews on Animal House at the start.
