“I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.” PeopleThinkingHas BeensTimeThreeActorsEasyAudienceSuccessfulConceptsIncreaseTheaterBeing SuccessfulQuartersSophistication Author:David Zucker
“2001: A Space Odyssey was a wonderful conundrum when I was a boy, with its giant concepts thrown across the giant screen at Indian Hills Theater.

“The headmistress was a very well-respected theater teacher. She taught me what stage left and stage right were, what a director was, and what all these things meant, which was something I had no concept of. She sent me off to drama school, at age 18, and I stayed there for three years. Before I knew it, I was working on a TV show.” YearsWellsShowsAgeSchoolThreeLeftTeacherStageTaughtTvsDramaDirectorsConceptsTheaterThree YearsTv ShowsHeadmistress Author:Robert Kazinsky

“We mocked that concept ['movies are better than ever'] by doing a sketch that was about a theater trying to get one customer to come in...and that customer was Jerry Lewis.

“Chicago theater vs. New York theater. There's just nothing to say about it really. If you've seen Chicago theater, you know that the work is true to what is there on the page. It's not trying to present itself with some sort of flashy, concept-based thing. It's about the work, and it's about the acting you're about to watch. So acting-based theater feels like it was born there to me.” IfsKnowsFeelsTryingBornActingWatchesNew YorkPagesConceptsTheaterChicagoFlashy Author:Terry Kinney

“Now why should the cinema follow the forms of theater and painting rather than the methodology of language, which allows wholly new concepts of ideas to arise from the combination of two concrete denotations of two concrete objects?” ShouldTwoIdeasFormLanguageObjectsPaintingConceptsTheaterAriseCombinationCinemaConcreteMethodology Book:Film Form: Essays in Film Theory Source: Film Form: Essays in Film Theory
