Egyptian comedy has a very, very old tradition. Our theater and our movies are just, like, amazing. And Egypt is kind of like the Hollywood of the Middle East. I mean, we had cinema maybe decades before the other Arab countries ever got independence.
A lot of animated movies in the past have sort of relied on these archaic tropes on what the female characters in those movies can be and who they are.
'Fast Times At Ridgemont High' is one of my favorite movies; it's a film that's a human comedy, it's a drama, and the characters all, in a way, fit the teenage archetypes, but they don't become stereotypes because each of the actors brought their own presence and their own personality to the screen.
They say I can open movies, and that's nice in that it puts into people's minds that women can do it. It's not just Kevin Costner, not just Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not just the guys.
Well, I haven't really been able to shoot in California for a while. Little movies yeah, but the big movies we can't shoot there. It's just a shame that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't deliver on this level.
Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.
I've been really enjoying writing articles and writing music and music for movies.
I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me.
When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'
It was cool when the Duffers assigned a list of movies to watch.
Why should you have to atone for making big movies?
I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.
The thing about HD-DVD that is attractive to Microsoft is that it's very pro-consumer in letting you copy all movies up onto the hard disk.
Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
I own the complete DVD set of all the Audrey Hepburn movies ever made.
You’re supposed to not like the 'Austin Powers' movies because people ruin the catchphrases. 'Austin Powers' is so funny.
I love watching old movies, and I read a lot of autobiographies.
I like fantasy. I like horror, science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.
'Avatar' was gorgeous. There are good stories in there, but when used in other movies they're similar to those violent video games. Characters using deadly weapons. The children follow these movies.
