“When critics or people judge, I think it's harder to make a commercial, pop movie than it is to make a pretentious art film. It's harder to reach millions of people and satisfy them and make them happy. These films kind of get ghettoized, this genre because there are so many big, big movies that are such big hits, but aren't any good. The audiences, they're not judging the style of the director, or the execution of the film. They're just looking to be entertained. They want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities.” PeopleThinkingWantKindArtBigsRealityFilmMillionsAudienceStyleJudgingDirectorsHarderCriticsPopsGenreExecutionPretentiousBig MovieArt FilmsNot Judging Author:Brett Ratner

If they don't laugh at the next joke, we put in another joke. You just keep doing them and you can get the movie to the point where every joke is funny, if you have enough options in the can.” PeopleIfsWayTryingMeanMadeDifferentEnoughNextProcessMillionsAudienceLaughingComedyFansJokesVersionsGiantsTestingTailors Author:Seth Rogen
