“All I can say is that with 'The Golden Compass,' I didn't get to make the movie I had planned to make. When I look at the film, at the casting and certain scenes, I'm very happy. As for the final product, I can't vouch for that.” LooksI CanFilmCertainProductsSceneFinalsGoldenVery HappyCastingCompass Author:Chris Weitz
“With films, I just scribble a couple of notes for a scene. You don't have to do any writing at all, you just have your notes for the scene, which are written with the actors and the camera in mind. The actual script is a necessity for casting and budgeting, but the end product often doesn't bear much resemblance to the script--at least in my case.” WritingMindEndsFilmActorsCasesWrittenProductsBearsCoupleSceneCamerasNotesScriptsCastingResemblanceScribblesBudgeting Author:Woody Allen
“Aside from a couple of signature flourishes, there's nothing to mark Paycheck as the product of acclaimed action director John Woo. In fact, there's little about this movie that makes it worth anyone's time and money. With a script that waffles between being hilariously absurd and insultingly stupid, and action scenes that won't cause anyone's pulse to skip a beat, Paycheck is less appealing than a lump of coal in a Christmas stocking.” LittlesFactsActionCausesStupidProductsCoupleSceneDirectorsBeatsMarkScriptsAbsurdCoalPulseSignaturesSkipLumpsPaychecksTime And MoneyStockingsWaffles Author:James Berardinelli
“Both as a filmmaker and as a fan I love the behind-the-scenes stuff, I like it even more than deleted scenes frankly. Especially when you're happy with the movie and you're proud of it, those deleted scenes give you also a sense of the making of the film and the process through which you end up with the final product.” GivingEndsFilmStuffProcessBehindsFansProductsProudSceneFinalsFilmmakerBehind The ScenesStuff I Like Author:Simon Kinberg
“Large department stores, with their luxuriant abundance of canned goods, foods, and clothing, are like the primary landscape and the geometrical locus of affluence. Streets with overcrowded and glittering store windowsthe displays of delicacies, and all the scenes of alimentary and vestimentary festivity, stimulate a magical salivation. Accumulation is more than the sum of its products: the conspicuousness of surplus, the final and magical negation of scarcitymimic a new-found nature of prodigious fecundity.” FoundStreetsProductsSceneFinalsStoresPrimariesLandscapeAbundanceDepartmentGoodsClothingsDisplayAccumulationDelicacySurplusAffluenceNegationProdigiousDepartment StoresFestivities Author:Jean Baudrillard

“I'm a product of older filmmakers I guess, the past where you get to make movies and scenes are what they are.
