action against backing building few filling hitting huge key levels move past pattern rally scale seeing seen technical weeks
I think the action we're seeing is constructive. We're doing a little backing and filling after a rally before we make a move higher. You're also hitting against some key technical levels here, ... There's not a huge rally building now, but we've seen a little pattern in the past few weeks of rally, scale back, and then continue, and we may see that again.
business films gonna hit million plenty sold whether
It's arguable whether a hit song is gonna add to the business a film does. There are plenty of films that didn't do any business and sold a million albums.
movies music reason
The only reason I got into movies was because I had no music talent.
geek guy hardware life maybe national nerd nerds picked school
A nerd will be a nerd all his life. When we did The Nerd Book at National Lampoon, the nerds got picked up as if there were a lot of them at every school - and there aren't. Maybe two. There are many more geeks. A geek is a guy who has everything going for him, but he's just too young. He's got the software, but he doesn't have the hardware yet.
life
A nerd will be a nerd all his life.
john lennon medium moved particular
My heroes were Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on.
audience best hear huge kid mix music sounds turned
The best sounds a kid will get is in a movie theater, with huge speakers, turned up loud. I always mix my music really loud. I don't care if you don't hear all the dialogue. The audience are not idiots.
apart song work written
To have a song work for the movie, it can't just be written apart and shoved in. It's got to come out of the action. It's got to talk about the characters, not the story: it has to augment that action.
hardware
A geek is a guy who has everything going for him but he's just too young. He's got the software but he doesn't have the hardware yet.
human kids
I don't think of kids as a lower form of the human species.
cool
I don't want to be too cool. You get so caught up with whether you're doing it right.
though
What a director should be doing is making it appear as though there was no script.
interest interested
I happen to go for the simplest, most ordinary things. The extraordinary doesn't interest me. I'm not interested in psychotics. I'm interested in the person you don't expect to have a story. I like Everyman.
bright filmmakers found immoral portray pursuits respect teenagers
Many filmmakers portray teenagers as immoral and ignorant, with pursuits that are pretty base... But I haven't found that to be the case. I listen to kids. I respect them... Some of them are as bright as any of the adults I've met.
