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.

I think it's great what they are doing. The clubs need this.

The great seats of power tend to be wide and open, not vertical and soaring. Red Square, Tiananmen Square, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin - all massive but with large open spaces that project an image of might.

Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.
My '50s were different than other people's '50s. The myth didn't permeate our world, 'Donna Reed' and all that. I longed for that, I wanted to be like other normal families on TV.

My guess is that OPEC will get a deal by the end of the week, but their lack of clarity has led to this thing taking longer than it should have.
love movies obviously
Obviously I love 'The Godfather' movies. I think they're phenomenal.
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?'
felt pressure public
I think they felt a little more pressure, and I think the pressure being more public made it more difficult.
