The critical reaction to 'Bloom' has been similar to 'Brick.' There are people on board with it and people who are not.

I bristle a little when the argument for film gets put into the nostalgia ghetto. Film is still the highest quality and best-looking image capture medium available. I don't think it always will be. The digital image will get better, and it will eventually surpass the quality of the film image, but it isn't there yet.

Rather than thinking in terms of a specific genre or specific kind of thing, I hope I can just stay relatively small and keep making my movies. If I can keep writing them and making them, I'll be happy.

The fanboy community can smell in an instant, like smelling fear, when something was tailor-made in order to reach them as a demographic.

I do think that I'm a big believer in having an idea or having ideas and just tucking them away in the back of your brain. Even if you aren't consciously thinking of them, I think they simmer. You're working on them, even if you don't know you're working on them, and I think having something in your head for a while is a valuable thing.

That's part of the appeal of time-travel movies: The notion of going back and fixing something.

It's best if I stay out of future plans and let time go on.
