If you think about it, episodic filmmaking has not been something that people have really done.
You change or you hide your head in the sand.
No one should feel sorry for a successful screenwriter.
I like knowing where I am in action sequences if I'm supposed to.
I like emotions, but I really don't like sentimentality, and I don't like when things break their spell.
I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.
