I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.
Criticism is okay from people who know the finer points of cinema.
I am a big cinema nerd! I've absorbed a lot of films.
You become a film critic because you're interested in film. I don't know whether knowing so much about cinema leads you to make better films, but it certainly can't hurt.
Only when you get into TV and film, do people really want you to be a 'specialist'.
You can take Hollywood for granted like I did, or you can dismiss it with the contempt we reserve for what we don't understand. It can be understood too, but only dimly and in flashes. Not half a dozen men have ever been able to keep the whole equation of pictures in their heads.
David Fincher is a genius.
What I expect of a movie reviewer is that he should love cinema as much as I do.
Scorsese, Spielberg, Tarantino, Peter Jackson - all of you: I'm here, I'm ready. I can do funny faces, I can sing, I can dance. Hire me!
B.A. Raju garu is very knowledgeable when it comes to cinema. He has sound analysis.
I think to be a movie critic is troubling from one major respect. If you are forced to watch ten movies a week, it's really only something you can do for a few years. After a while, it's a bit too much.
