“Every Harry Potter film features Lord Voldemort, who stereotypes evil. And movies that discriminate against evil have no place on campus, because evil has feelings, too. Terrorists cry during commercials and mad bombers enjoy long walks and campfires, too.” LongFeelingsFilmEvilEnjoyWalksLordCryMadTerroristFeaturesHarry PotterStereotypePottersCampusBombersCampfireLong WalksLord VoldemortHarry Potter Film Author:Jedediah Bila
“Would you rather see a super soldier battling Nazis or something more serious? Or lesbians down a coal mine? Generally, the films are engaging in the same way as the comics are.

“And there's even a lord named Lord Dashwood [like the characters in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility]. It's very steeped in Austen. It's been used in many films, but not in its entirety and we shot the inside and the outside and used every nook and cranny. The inside is very gaudy. It's a little naughty inside. There's a lot of portraiture.” LittlesCharacterFilmUsedLordShotsSensibilityJaneNaughtyAustenEntiretyPortraitureGaudy Author:Jerusha Hess
“I wasn't actually going to see the original film [Lord of the Ring], because I didn't think it was possible that a film could represent the books appropriately. So I was protesting, and I wasn't going to see them. And then my family all took a jaunt together, the entire family, to see the movies, and were like, "What, you're just going to stay home?" So I saw the movies and was thoroughly impressed that Peter Jackson managed to make my vision of the book come to life, as well as my sister's and my father's, and my aunt's and my uncle's, everyone's.” ThinkingWellsBookHomeTogetherFilmFatherVisionLordSawsMy FamilyOriginalsRingsMy SisterPeterImpressedUnclesAuntLord Of The Ring Author:Evangeline Lilly

“One of my favorite things about the Kung Fu Panda 3 is the look of it. We never go for realism. I think a lot of time when people go for 3D that's the mistake. Because we're never going for full realism - for computer generated live action films like Avatar the goal is realism, to make the audience feel like they are seeing something that is real. Lord of the Rings had character design and environments to make it look real, whereas we aren't going for that, we are going for something that is theatrically, viscerally, and emotionally real.” PeopleThinkingFeelsLooksRealCharacterActionFilmGoalMistakeLordAudienceEnvironmentSeeingDesignComputerMy FavoriteRingsRealismFavorites ThingsKung FuAction FilmsPandasKung Fu PandaCharacter Design Author:Jennifer Yuh Nelson
“I'm a guy whose first motion picture experience was seeing Ridley Scott glide past on a camera on a hundred and fifty million dollar film, and prep two movies, and there is no way to overstate that when you've worked with Ridley, it's like having been a quarterdeck lieutenant to Lord Nelson.” WayFirstsTwoPastFilmGuyLordMillionsSeeingHundredCamerasDollarsFiftyMillion DollarsNelsonMotion PicturesPrepsLieutenants Author:William Monahan
