Goer Quotes

There`s an uncanny thing that chemically happens to you when you`re in the chronic stages of alcoholic drinking. I have been able, on occasions, to have two bottles of vodka and still be up talking to people. That got very frightening. By nature I`m an isolationalist, so my boozing was at home, thank you.

American movies to me - and, I mean, I`ve said this before a million times - are becoming more and more homogeneous because the marketing objective - and marketing now plays such a major role in movies that it almost obliterates everything else - the marketing objective is the lowest common denominator. "You can`t put that in; let`s put the car chase, let`s put the sex scene, let`s put the fight in, let`s get them back together, they end up happily, they walk off into the sun..." So that there`s a formulaic predictability to American movies. That, allied with the cynicism of the way movies are put together - product placement and spin-offs and toys and all kinds of crap that, you know, have nothing to do with the telling of stories - they`ve turned American movies into McMovies. So that when the movie-goer gets his movie, it`s like a hamburger: he doesn`t want a piece of aubergine in there; he wants his onion, his tomato, his hamburger and his bun. And he doesn`t want the bun hard, he wants it soft. And he wants it in two minutes.
