fun liars zombie
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
blood realistic the-waterfront
The most realistic blood I've seen is when Marlon Brando gets beat up in On The Waterfront.
blue zombie monsters
Zombies are the blue-collar monsters
wisdom bananas pay
As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.
thinking objectivity years
There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.
enough bigs big-screen
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
guy good-guy flaws
I like guys who are understandable and good guys who are flawed.
teaching kids zombie
I expect a zombie to show up on 'Sesame Street' soon, teaching kids to count.
people zombie viruses
People called '28 Days' and '28 Weeks' zombie movies, and they're not! It's some sort of virus; they're not dead.
wind creating tribes
Anybody who tunes into Rush Limabaugh already knows what he's going to say and is already inclined to agree. So it winds up creating tribes.
real
Nothings ever real until its real.
zombie easy neighbor
I go to conventions and universities and talk to young filmmakers and everybody's making a zombie movie! It's because it's easy to get the neighbors to come out, put some ketchup on them.
animal watches old-yeller
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
actors doe genre
As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!
