“The capacity for loving strangers, whether one thinks of them as fictional beings or stars one will never meet, is a profound reflection on the new consciousness whereby every individual leads his or life while aware of all the billions of other people on Earth. Perhaps it is a fantasy or a fallacy that we can feel for so many strangers. Perhaps it is a mask for selfishness. But no matter the modern stress on special effects, there isn't a sight in movies as momentous as shots of a face as its mind is being changed. And only movies have allowed that.” PeopleThinkingFeelsMindMatterEarthFilmFacesIndividualStarsConsciousnessFantasyModernSpecialEffectsChangedReflectionShotsCapacityHollywoodSightStressProfoundStrangerBillionsSelfishnessMaskFallacySpecial Effects Author:Edward Jay Epstein
“Los Angeles people are incapable of passively mainlining TV and movies. Here you have to read who produced or directed every episode, who wrote it, who had guests shots and whether you know them personally and if they like you. You have to figure out who everybody's agent is and whether yours is better. You not only know but deeply care about the difference between such job titles as Producer, Supervising Producer, and Executive Story Editor. ... So while the rest of the country is lying stupid in a media-induced coma, people in L.A. are in constant withdrawal.” PeopleIfsKnowsCountryStoriesCareJobsLyingDifferencesMediaStupidFiguresTvsLike YouShotsHollywoodConstantProducersAgentsTitlesExecutivesLos AngelesEditorsGuestsEpisodesIncapableWithdrawalComaJob Titles Book:Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye Source: Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye
“I don't really want to start my career again, and I don't like Hollywood.

“I don't think the film is going to work for everybody, period. It wasn't meant to be done for everybody. I didn't four quadrant this movie, like Hollywood did.

“What I try to do is reinvigorate strategies and clichés I find in Hollywood movies. At a certain point I had these huge folders, each one classified according to subject matter or genre: people with guns, people kissing, Indians and cowboys falling off horses, getting shot, getting shot with arrows - almost every plot device. Then I cropped the cheap, recycled imagery to give exhausted images new meaning, or at least something other than their original meaning. I'm basically reassembling atoms to give them a meaning that's more au courant.” PeopleGivingTryingMatterCertainFallSubjectsHugeKissingGunShotsHollywoodHorseOriginalsStrategyGenrePlotDevicesAtomsExhaustedCowboyImageryArrowsSubject MatterHollywood MoviesFalling OffRecycledFolders Author:John Baldessari
“I want studios that make story-based games to start taking their stories more seriously. And that doesn't mean hiring a big shot writer from Hollywood; it means that story becomes integral to making your game. I don't see how you can achieve that without having an in-house writer that sits next to the designer, helping them make their levels, talking with the engineers about where we can tell the story more dynamically, pushing at technology.” WantMeanHelpingStoriesBigsNextGamesHouseLevelsTalkingTechnologyAchieveShotsHollywoodStudiosDesignerPushingEngineersHiringBig Shots Author:Neil Druckmann
