However, we couldn't focus on the films much during the series because we're dumb. Individually we're smart guys, but together we're one big dumb guy, and couldn't concentrate on two things at once.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
It's actually smarter to make a dumb film.
What frustrates me a lot about some aspects of filmmaking is people thinking everyone is really dumb and that we have to make everything really obvious.
I hate to say it, but there seems to have been some sort of dumbing down as far as movies go.
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
Well, TV series tie you up. You can't do films while you're doing a TV series.
I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.
I think we're tremendously different than the series, if they were to tune in to the series after seeing the movie they might be disappointed. That there was, you know, that they might have some kind of adverse reaction.
On films, you have the liberty of working out the details, the psychology, taking maybe more risks and takes than you can in television just because you can't be figuring things out on the day.
I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.
