“I think for me when you look at the idea of being able to create a limitless world and use it almost as a playground for action and adventure and so forth, I naturally gravitate towards cinematic worlds, whether it's the Bond films and things like that.” ThinkingWorldLooksIdeasUseAbleActionFilmAdventureLimitlessPlaygroundsCinematic Author:Christopher Nolan
“I dislike The Exorcist, and I found it a warning sign of the dangers in a furious cinematic talent putting the audience through it (a Hitchcock phrase) without purpose, or without the nagging moral anxiety that activated Hitch. You see, I don't think William Friedkin believes in the Devil, or cares about him. I think he found exorcism a pretext for a gross-out and he calculated there was an audience for it, or a crowd ready to be challenged. Maybe I'm too much of an atheist to stand religion being so thrashed.” ThinkingBelieveCareFilmPurposeFoundMoralAudienceToo MuchTalentDangerReadyAnxietyDevilHollywoodAtheistCrowdsPhrasesWarningDislikeGrossFuriousPretextCinematicHitchcockNaggingExorcismExorcistWarning Signs Author:Edward Jay Epstein
“I think television is moving more into movies, particularly with serialization and almost cinematic proportions and expectations. A show like 'Game of Thrones' is a perfect example of that, or even a show like 'The Wire,' which isn't all about instant gratification it's about inviting someone into the long experience of television the way you'd be invited into a theater for two hours. So I think in that way, and the quality of writing in television is probably much better than most film writing.” ThinkingWayWritingLongTwoShowsFilmMovingGamesHoursPerfectQualityExampleTelevisionExpectationsTheaterInstantProportionThronesInvitedGratificationInvitingCinematicInstant GratificationFilm Writing Author:Bryan Singer

“I don't like making didactic, pedagogical documentaries based on standard formulas of narration: I'm only interested in the ambitious French tradition of the documentaire de création where the film, if successful, is not about something but that something itself.
