differences world scripts
It makes a world of difference when you start with an amazing script.
kids fighting parent
For me, the toughest thing for kids to deal with is when the parents are fighting. It's not violence on them - it's the feeling of violence in the family.
team great-team cyclops
We love Cyclops and as you know, we love James. It's a great team and we'll continue the team, obviously.
real book reading
No one bothered reading the books and understanding - and again, I'm not being high-falutin' about it - but I think our books are great literature with great metaphors of real life dealing with fears and hopes.
two guy different
When you choose a villain, you need something visually exciting. And when you have someone like Jamie Foxx... you want to make sure the guy with the mask and the guy without the mask are delivering two different performances.
issues people black
I love Daredevil. I thought it was enjoyable. Okay? There were critical issues with it, and that's why I wear black, some people wear red - we are entitled to our opinions.
thinking people world
I think well-read people - the world is open to them.
despair aviation get-up
When you get to know me, I don't despair - I just get up, clean up, and start again.
drama believe unanswered-questions
You have to believe in the arthouse, if you will - the emotion, the conflict, the who am I, which will always be an unanswered question. If you do it right, you have a smaller drama, and a great movie.
dvds office community
But the community knew Blade, and everybody but us was shocked at the box office, and subsequently the DVD. That was the beginning of the DVD revolution, and Blade was just like wildfire.
character heart stories
Once we got over the origin story, we could really delve deeper into their lives and characters and angst. So this movie actually has more heart, more humor.
technology years people
Obviously, CGI in the last ten years has gone through such leaps and bounds that today, people are looking for these kinds of movies to wow audiences with technology.
new-york costumes said
The skeptics said you can't put on a costume in the middle of New York - which isn't true, because everyone's in a costume here.
people aviation comic
Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.
