I've made a lot of movies with kids in them. I don't know why that is, but it's something I've noticed.
From Joe Dante
When you make a 3-D movie you actually have to plan the way the visuals look because there's a parallax issue, and there's an issue of editing; you can't edit very quickly in 3-D because the eye won't adjust fast enough for it.
I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.
I don't believe that you can judge the worth of a movie in the atmosphere in which it comes out the first time. There's just so many reasons why some pictures don't catch on.
A lot of filmmakers from my generation were lucky enough to have their work more or less perpetuated by people who saw them originally on TV and on HBO and certainly on home video.
When I was growing up in the '60s I would have thought that westerns would last forever.
I like working with kid actors because they surprise you constantly. I mean, all actors do - but kids particularly.
Finding a writer who can write decent kids' dialog and finding kids that can act realistically and not 'cute' is an effort.
I love 'Evil Dead 2!' Who doesn't love 'Evil Dead 2?'
'Avatar' is the greatest, most comprehensive collection of movie cliches ever assembled, but it's put together in a brand new way with a new technology, and tremendous imagination, making it a true epic and a kind of a milestone.
