God knows, as a minority, gay people have taken serious lumps for their sexual preferences. As has every minority.

Violence is not funny.

You are always cheating for the audience.

To me, the art of movies is to take a two-dimensional image and give the illusion of depth.

I'm not a fan of 3D. But I am a huge fan of digital imagery. Because it allows a filmmaker much more latitude to appreciate their own visions and dreams.
