Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.
If you look at a lot of animated movies, they don't pay attention to how things move through space.
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
We all had our reservations about possibly overdoing it but, you know, the script was great. Basically it stuck to the formula that worked for the first two movies, and for that reason I think this works as well.
But I did have two months off between Loser and the start of Prozac Nation. So, it was supposed to be Jason time, right? My time to enjoy myself away from movies.
I like high impact movies.
If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.
I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.
In LA I was watching At the Movies with Ebert and Roper, it was, nice to see them differentiate between the subject matter and the art form of making the film, and they both gave it thumbs up, and I was kind of pleased at their honesty as far as reviewers go.
And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
I'm generally pessimistic about the dumbing down of America - especially with summer movies.
