clubs great
I think it's great what they are doing. The clubs need this.
affect demand point supply
From a supply and demand point of view, they can't materially affect the balances.
act creates hunger love movies people phenomenon role turning valuable
I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first they're going to love 'Harry Potter,' or they may love 'The Hunger Games,' but after that, they're going to love the act of reading and wonder, 'What else can I read?'
conversation filmmakers good great hear instead journalist literate loved steven stuff worked
I thought it would be interesting to hear a conversation between filmmakers instead of just a filmmaker gassing on about his own movie. Steven is so literate about this stuff and a great film journalist in his own right and a good friend, so it worked out. He also loved the movie and volunteered to do it.
capitol entertainment putting
I wasn't going to make a slick, glossy over-produced piece of entertainment because then I would be doing what the Capitol did. Then I'm actually putting on the Hunger Games and not making a movie of the 'Hunger Games.'
felt pressure public
I think they felt a little more pressure, and I think the pressure being more public made it more difficult.
act risk shown supply willing
Governments have shown that if there is a substantial supply risk they are willing to act, and act quickly.
traders worry
For the first time, traders have to worry about demand.
world want doe
In a complex and troubling world, who wouldn't want to simplify? Everybody does. Everybody wants to simplify and put up a picket fence.
scary eras generations
Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s, and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone, as is complexity, contradiction, and an uncertain future.
team kids two
There are not many people on Team Gary. Actually, it's two people. My kids.
thinking important
You have to listen to the movie while you're making it. I think that's important.
reality thinking instruments
I think the CG is an instrument to create reality. I don't think it's an instrument to create a heightened reality.
believe drs world
Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.
