A film is a petrified fountain of thought.
Being in a Marvel film is the pinnacle of secrecy training.
I have a nationally distributed film whose pivotal scene is the ultrasound-guided abortion.

In a film there a lot of people scheduling, you know.
Film should be looked at straight on; it is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.
