Film is a battleground. Love, hate, violence, action, death...In a word, emotion.
If your first scene doesn't give you a hard on, throw it out!
Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it's all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.
A woman is just a script, but a cigar is a motion picture.
I hate violence. That has never prevented me from using it in my films.
We got a right to climb out of the sewer and live like other people. We could start from scratch. Make every minute count twice for the one we lost.
