american-director guys
Benicio del Toro. I think he's brilliant, and we like working with guys - or gals - who are very talented. They make us look good.
forgot gets guy involved learned mental might people production scares single stare totally
Every single person involved with the production learned a lot. I'll tell you what I learned. I've been around people with mental disabilities, but I haven't been around 150 of them at a time. And there's something about it that scares people. I don't think it's just me. It might come from the idea that 'I don't want to stare at this guy,' and it gets to where you don't even acknowledge him. But by the end of the shoot, you totally forgot that a guy had disabilities.
appeal people
We never thought this would appeal to everyone. And, you know, some people just don't get it. We're making this movie because we think it's funny.
american-director movies sit version
It's a big part of what we do - we test our movies extensively. I'm always there myself. It's sometimes difficult to sit through, especially if it's a version of the movie that's not working particularly well.
american-director both tend
I think we both have some darkness in us. But when we are together, we tend to concentrate more on the light.
american-director best great matt worked
We want the best actor, and that's why Matt Damon worked so well in this role, because he's a great actor.
american-director amount call extremely images movies people violent watch
I know people watch our movies and they'll see a lot of images - they call it gross-out - that they don't like, and I understand that. It's an important movie and one that's extremely well done, but the amount of violent imagery was not for me.
american-director brunt heroes life love twins
Well, there are conjoined twins in real life and we can tell a story about them so long as they're not the brunt of the jokes. In this, they're the heroes of this story; we love these guys.
david fine larry seems serious
We were really serious about getting Larry David as Larry. He has the hair. But he seems to be doing just fine without us.
anymore barriers broke character disabled funny good great guy
Eddie? I don't even think about him anymore as a disabled guy. I just think of him as a great character and a funny guy and a good friend. That's how it was with everyone. The barriers broke down.
regret
Erm, I don't really have any regrets.
comedy reviews feels
I feel reviewers are tougher on comedies in general. They don't take them seriously, and the ones that get great reviews are not necessarily the ones that I like.
comedy feedback audience
In comedy, though, it's good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.
different care pages
I just feel I'm on a different page from the reviewers, so I've learned not to care about them too much.
