camera digital dynamic greater push range
The dynamic range of a digital camera is not that much greater than film, particularly if you push the ASA a little bit.
berlin gate great image large massive open power project seats spaces tend vertical wide
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.
fairy great tales works
What works about fairy tales is that they endure, and the great thing about fairy tales is that you can explore big, epic things that you can't really explore in other situations.
clubs great
I think it's great what they are doing. The clubs need this.
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.
directly finished wonderful
I mean, the wonderful thing about writing a book is that you're getting a finished product at the end of the day. You're communicating directly with the reader.
adequately characters fascinates full grow maybe meet obviously themselves
I mean, in 'Big' and 'Pleasantville,' it's a journey that the characters go on where I think they come to kind of meet themselves at the end and who they actually are and give full voice to who they actually are. And that, you know, obviously fascinates me for some reason. Maybe I didn't adequately grow up.

They have to get compliance in order. With six million barrels a day of spare capacity they don't have any credibility in the market unless they can control spare capacity,
bickering fun people playing seems stuff wrong
This is just as much fun as playing in the water. It seems like there is a lot of bickering going on. Seems to be the wrong time. People need to be doing more stuff like this.
ability control lose prices slip
Once they lose that credibility they lose the ability to control prices and that credibility has started to slip away.
conversation good left prepare spin wherever
I left the conversation pretty much up to him. That way I would be fresher, and he's so good at this. I didn't want to prepare or spin anything. I just jumped in and let him take it wherever it went.
haunted raised sort spectrum
It's interesting - in 'Fail Safe,' as well, they didn't back off. We were raised with kind of this spectrum of that Armageddon and lived under it, so those were probably the films. 'Fail Safe' sort of haunted me.
meaning music rhyme shape wonderful words
There's something so wonderful about writing in rhyme where it isn't just the meaning of the words, it's the music to the words and the shape and the sound.
sort
There's nothing I'd rather do than sort of, you know, sit at my computer and rhyme.
