Blockbuster Quotes - Page 4

• The history of the Internet is, in part, a series of opportunities missed: the major record labels let Apple take over the digital-music business; Blockbuster refused to buy Netflix for a mere fifty million dollars; Excite turned down the chance to acquire Google for less than a million dollars.

• Gun violence is almost promoted onscreen in these huge blockbusters and then sex is still so shocking. But I also can understand that people find it uncomfortable, which I think is cool.

• Creo que en México hay una gran cultura del cine, tanto de estudio como indie. Creo que aquí en Estados Unidos no es así porque las comunidades latinas no tienen acceso al cine independiente. Si vas a las comunidades de color, sólo encontrarás las grandes cadenas de cines que sólo proyectan las películas de género más taquilleras.

• [Mid-list writers are now] less greed on the part of both publishers and chain booksellers. It is easier for them to publish and sell only blockbusters and leave the real work to small presses.

• Escribe lo que quieras leer. Mucha gente cree que tiene que escribir un tipo concreto de libro o imitar un estilo de éxito para que se lo publiquen. He conocido a gente que creía que tenía que inspirar su libro en éxitos de taquilla ya existentes, o escribir en un género que se supone que está "de moda ahora mismo" para interesar a agentes y editores. Pero si escribes en un género que no te gusta o te inspiras en un libro que no respetas, se notará. Tú eres tu primer y más importante lector, así que escribe el libro que ese lector realmente quiera leer.

• I want to diversify a bit. I don't wanna throw myself into another big blockbuster or another big franchise anytime soon. So smaller films, just small little interesting parts, I think I'd even like to play around with some really good supporting roles and then develop into - I don't know just like feel my way into it a bit more. I don't know, I'd love to try some theater. That's my other thing. I'd love to do some Shakespeare.

• Basically that you can do anything. If you pool your resources,and just give up the idea that you're going to act like a normal person or sleep, if you want it hard enough and do it well enough, it happens. A lot of really talented people either sort of get crushed under the wheel of the movie studio system or desperately try and get their next gig in TV. I understand why, because we've all got to put food on the table and the brass ring is out there, we'd all like to be making the Emmy-winning shows and the blockbusters and all that, but at the same time you could be doing stuff yourself.

• Sometimes things just aren't of their time, and they take a minute to catch on, or they find an audience later. Sometimes bizarre little films are the ones that everyone remembers later. With most big major blockbusters, people will have already forgotten about it two weeks after it came out.

• Now, once again, we find ourselves facing rising gas prices, and the question is: This time, are we going to learn from the past? Are we finally going to get serious about energy conservation? Of course not! We have the brains of mealworms! So we need to get more oil somehow. As far as I can figure, there's only one practical way to do this. That's right: We need to clone more dinosaurs. We have the technology, as was shown in two blockbuster scientific movies, Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park Returns with Exactly the Same Plot. Once we have the dinosaurs, all we need is an asteroid.

• While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me. To fall into a black hole, that is more amazing than anything I've ever read in a science-fiction story.

• I don't believe there are any more blockbusters films. Back in the day with music, people would wait up all night for the music store to open to get their favorite CD, and if it were sold out they would come back again.

• I don't think in terms of what's going to be successful. I have plenty of friends who make very small movies and friends who make giant, $150 million blockbusters, and the thing that I really admire is, the ones who do it well do it very sincerely.

• For the blockbusters, people were always telling me that if you write female protagonists, the boys won't go, so you have to put the boys' stuff in it to get everybody. I write for people from 8 to 80, and that's not easy.

• Hemos crecido en una época posterior a La Guerra de las Galaxias y a lo que ésta supuso para el cine, en términos de explosión de ese tipo de cultura del éxito de taquilla. Ha creado una generación de frikis. Con la evolución de los juegos de ordenador e Internet, todo eso nos ha afectado como generación, y ha afectado enormemente al elemento creativo de esa generación. Mientras que las diferentes escuelas de cine...

• It seems like the studios are either making giant blockbusters, or really super-small indies. And the mid-level films I grew up on, like 'Back to the Future' and all those John Hughes movies, the studios aren't doing. It's hard to get them on their feet.
