“I think it's harder to go from comedy to drama than from drama to comedy. Seeing you dramatic all the time, they crave to see you being silly or funny. But, seeing you in comedy all the time, it's hard to see that person go be serious, for some reason.” ThinkingPersonsHardReasonComedySeeingSeriousDramaHarderSillyDramaticCraveBeing Silly Author:Evan Peters

“A silly comedy needs a straight guy, and that guy needs to be as straight as possible. The moment you start playing straight you're not straight anymore, you're bent straight, so it really requires the usual serious, straight-forward analysis and research, looking into it and finding the dramatic function, all of what you do until you feel you've collected enough points to safely and securely play the part.” NeedsFeelsEnoughPlayMomentsGuyComedySeriousFindingsResearchFunctionSillyAnalysisDramaticUsualBentThat Guy Author:Christoph Waltz

“Hillary Clinton knew she wasn't gonna be indicted for whatever she's doing with the emails. You know how I know that? Because Jorge Ramos asked her in an interview.

“[The Ghost Team] is basically about people who have nothing to do, and so they do something really silly and stupid. It's about the nature of nothingness, how people deal with that, and how sometimes going down a rabbit hole of your beliefs can put you in some serious trouble.

At the end of the film, they're all disappointed, but they're also jazzed that they got to know each other.” PeopleKnowsHas BeensEndsSometimesFilmBeliefSidesDealsTroubleTeamStupidSeriousSillyGhostHolesDisappointedNothingnessRabbitsRepressedRabbit Holes Author:David Krumholtz
